A festival in my country

Hi! Vicky
In the summer at the end of July, there is a festival in my village Agia Paraskevi. It is the festival of the bull. A lot of people ride their horses at the centre of the village. The taverns of the village are full of people eating and drinking. Musicians play folk music and people and horses dance all night! I have a great time!
Your friend,
Maritina!

A Festival in My Country

In my village Perama every summer there is a festival on the 27th of July of Agios Panteleimon. The army raises the icon of the Saint and goes through the village and behind are followed by many horses and believers from the church. Then in the taverns, there is a feast with traditional music.

A strange trip

One day my mother said to me “Theodore we will go on a trip to Thessaloniki”. Thessaloniki is a big city in Greece. We went to the Arctouros reserve for bears and to the military museum. When we went to the Water Land I had an accident. I hurt my head. At night when I slept I dreamed the Water Land. When I woke up at six o’clock I had to go to the hospital because I was getting dizzy. I stayed there for two days. When I exited the hospital I stayed two more days at Thessaloniki to do some shopping. Then I returned home. I will never forget this trip.

A festival in my country

Every summer in Molyvos, Lesvos there is a festival “Molyvos International Music Festival”. For three days musicians from all the world play music at Molyvos castle. The ticket isn’t expensive and there are music activities for kids.

Home education

Education means a lot for a person, it is all about you Character, the way you think and the way you approach life in general. In the latest years, most of the parents prefer homeschooling their children. In my belief teaching in your home, it is a reasonable choice but like always we should see the two sides of the facts.

Before I started writing this report I preferred the idea of school, but after I did my research I clearly believe that home education isn’t a bad idea at all. First of all, we need to see the way that educational system works and from my point of view, schools don’t have the amount of time children need in order to endorse and nurture the way I think they should. Children need time to play and experience different things in order to increase their intelligence. Bring in your mind memories you have when you were attending school, as I remember I didn’t like school, I didn’t have any interest and no one really helped to find one, I was attending school because I had to. Most of the kids are exhausted and experience lack for interest in anything that has to do with school. So as I see it homeschool is an opportunity for kids to get to know the world and themselves.

In order to understand the difference between home education and education in school, we need to understand children and their feelings. Is better to read and write about it? Or to experience something in order to learn how it works, that is what homeschooling gives to you. The biggest advantage about home education is the way that works, you get to choose your program, the time and place you can learn, you get to experience how the things you learn work in practice and children actually have time to play. On the other hand, many people talk about the disadvantages homeschooling has, for example, they believe that children don’t make any friends and don’t learn how to teamwork. But that is just a fear many people have, the latest years’ schools are actually providing different activities that children who are homeschooling can participate. In my belief home education needs to get an upgrade in our minds.

Education is the start of everything, you can take it from your own home or the schools, it is a choice everyone can make. Homeschool is a different way that gives you the opportunity to think differently and to get knowledge from a different aspect!

Easter in Lesvos

A popular festival in Lesvos is Easter. We go to the church and we light our candles. The priest sings the “Christ is Risen”. In the sky are many fireworks. In Easter day we eat lamb on the spit, kokoretsi, kondosouvli and red boiled eggs. The whole family celebrates together.

They dance folk music and sing. I like this festival because I enjoy it very much. I dance and sing with my friends and my family. I love OUZO FEST!!!!!!

Think green!🌎

If you want to make your school more eco friendly you have to recycle materials especially the paper that you use. You can plant trees in the schoolyard. Put triple bins in every corner for ♻. Have healthy foods in the canteen with fresh fruits and vegetables. Organized green groups. Not to spend much water and more important is to use energy-efficient bulb !!!!♻♻♻

How I spend these days and what makes me happy

These days I have a good time. I’m involved with many things these days. I do gymnastics, I ride a bike with my mum and many more. We do English lessons through an application and it’s perfect. We are thinking of starting dance lessons with video calling and I can’t wait. I don’t want to go back to the time when I didn’t have any free time and I had a lot of lessons and things to do. What makes me happy is that I have a lot of free time to take care of my family and myself.

Horses dancing in Agia Paraskevi

Here in Lesvos, there are some places were horses race and dance. Two places are Agia Paraskevi and Agiasos. My favourite place to go and see is Agiasos. Horses are beautiful and kind animals, they love their owners, they like to eat fruits and vegetables and hey. I would like to have one but they need alot of space and special care. When my family gets a larger house with a large garden I will get one for me and my dad
