THANKS  TO  OUR  SPANISH  FRIENDS

We  would  like  to  thank  our  Spanish  friends  for  their  Christmas  Gift.

                                  RELATIONSHIPS  AMONG  PEOPLE  (PART  2)
3)  A  psychologist  and  a  social  functionary  were  invited to  our  school  to  speak  to  the  Greek  students  about  human  relationships  and  communication.

                              RELATIONSHIPS  AMONG  PEOPLE  (PART  1)
After  talking  with  the  Greek  students  on  the  positive and  negative  aspects  of  human  communication  and  relationships  and  the  bad  role  mass media  plays  on  it  as  people  have  become  isolated  a  number  of  activities  followed :
1)  They  created  some  drawings.

2)  They  planted  seeds  from  a  flower  called  CROCUS  which  is  a  reminder  of  the  Jewish  Massacre  and  has  become  since  then  a  symbol  of  solidarity,  friendship  and  peace  against  racism  and  xenophobia.

                                    RELATIONSHIP  TO  NATURE

We  also  spoke  about  how  important  is  our  relationship  not  only  to  animals  but  also  to  Nature.  In  order  to  protect  Nature  so  Nature  can  protect  our  lives  as  well  we  must  make  a  rational  consumption  of  the  goods  it  offers  us.  One  of  them  is  wood  and  fuel.  For  this  reason  we  visited  a  Biomass  Center  in  our  city,  Patras,  where  an  expert   talked  to  our  students on  this  topic.

                                    RELATIONSHIPS  TO  ANIMALS  AND  PETS
On  this  specific  area  the  Greek  students  spoke  about  how  important  the  presence  of  a  pet  is  for  everybody  and  especially  for  lonely  people  and  the  disabled.  They  found  out  a  lot  of  information  not  only  for  the  present  but  also  of  how  animals  were  treated  by  people  in  Ancient  Greece. They  also  created  riddles  that  have  connection  with  animals  and  their  relationship  to  people.  Finally,  a  vet  was  invited  to  visit  our  school  and  speak  to  the  students  about  the  importance  of  a  good  relationship  among  people  and  animals.

“LA FIERA DEL DOLCE”

When Christmas time is approaching people start preparations to celebrate the most joyful

Religious  festivity  of the year. During  this   time   parents and students organize a sort of

jumble sale at school and the proceeds will be donated  to  charity.  What  parents  do is to

prepare at home   cakes and every kind of sweets with the help of their children.

Teachers and students fix a day every week for this special selling and they enjoy eating

the delicious  sweets they made.

SUPPORTING CHARITY

One of the most important aim of our school education is to make  students aware that in our society there are people suffering from  economic difficulties especially in this period of global crisis.

Throughout the last years our Istituto Comprensivo Santa Teresa di Riva has been interested in social problems helping families and charitable association in our area.

Our students, in their free time, give a contribution to help “Caritas”, a national charity institution collecting food supply in local supermarkets.
