All students were invited to choose their favourite fairy tale and draw one of its scenes in order for the rest of the students to guess the fairy tale. This activity was completed by the creation of an ebook/album of all students' drawings that you may see below!

It was a very exciting activity for all students!

Finally, schools created a team and took part in the "Programming Week for All" challenge where we managed to win the Certificate of Excellence of the Programming Week!

1. Arsakeio Kindergarten of Thessaloniki
2. ScInf San Michele, Terni-Italy
3. 145 Kindergarten of Athens
4. 5th Kindergarten of Kilkis

We decided to work on the tale 'The 3 Little pigs'

Here is the link to the activities that our students performed related to the fairy tale 'The 3 Little Pigs':

Kitty the cat

Alex the dog

Linda the bee

These challenges strongly engaged all students who wanted to help the cat, the dog and the bee fulfill their goal!

The story our school chose:

A wolf and a sheep fall in love. They have a son that they call Woolf – he's half wolf, half woolly sheep! This is Woolf's story.

Its about friendship and identity. Wolf friends stick to the appearance of the wolf, and their friends stick to the sheeps figure, so Wolf WOOLF has problems when contacting other animals. It is a very interesting story conveying a strong message!

MATHS, ENGINEERING, ART, SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY

So the founders of the project arranged for all schools to meet in groups and play a kahoot game that included questions related to activities that our students performed throughout the year! The result was unbelievable! All schools had so much fun playing this game!
