Our 4th graders and their Mermaid finally won the 3rd prize, after France and Croatia, in the mural competition taken place in Spain in November 2014.
Στα πλαίσια του ευρωπαϊκού καινοτόμου προγράμματος e Twinning oι
μαθητές της Ε2 τάξης συμμετείχαν στο συνεργατικό, σχολικό έργο: “ European
Youth
Murals”: «Έργα ζωγραφικής των νέων της Ευρώπης για την
προώθηση της φιλίας και της ειρήνης στον κόσμο». Το συγκεκριμένο έργο στο οποίο
συμμετέχουν 270 εκπαιδευτικοί απ’ όλη την
Ευρώπη μαζί τους μαθητές τους και είναι ενεργό από το 2012, έχει βραβευτεί με την Ευρωπαϊκή Ετικέτα
Ποιότητας.
Το έργο των μαθητών μας « Η
Γοργόνα, η αδελφή του Μέγα Αλέξανδρου» ολοκληρώθηκε τον Ιούνιο του
2014 και πήρε μέρος μαζί με 55 ακόμη έργα στον ευρωπαϊκό
διαγωνισμό-έκθεση που διεξήχθη στα μέσα
Νοεμβρίου στο σχολείο Elisabeth,
ιδρυτή του έργου, στην πόλη Salou,στην Tarragona της Ισπανίας κερδίζοντας την 3η
θέση. Ορισμένα από αυτά τα έργα φιλοξενούνται αυτές τις μέρες και στο σχολείο
μας.
Οι μαθητές συνόδευσαν την αφίσα τους με την
περιγραφή του θρύλου της γοργόνας, της αδελφής του Μέγα Αλέξανδρου, θέλοντας να
διαδώσουν το μήνυμα της αέναης αναζήτησης
του σύγχρονου ανθρώπου όλων αυτών των
ιδανικών για τα οποία αγωνίστηκε ο Αλέξανδρος : το σεβασμό για τον πολιτισμό
των άλλων λαών , τη γλώσσα ,τη θρησκεία και τις παραδόσεις μέσα από την παιδεία
,την αλληλεγγύη και την ειρηνική συνύπαρξη των λαών.
Στο μήνυμά τους, τα παιδιά εξήγησαν ότι η γοργόνα ρωτώντας του ναυτικούς αν ζει ο
βασιλιάς Αλέξανδρος περιμένει ν’ ακούσει
ότι ζει και βασιλεύει και τον κόσμο κυριεύει , περιμένει ν’ ακούσει ότι όλοι οι νέοι και νέες θα αγωνιστούν για να
διαδώσουν την ειρήνη, τη φιλία και τη δικαιοσύνη στον κόσμο, σαν άλλοι μικροί Αλέξανδροι
γιατί, όπως πίστευε και ο Αλέξανδρος, σημαντικό δεν είναι να κυριεύσεις τον
κόσμο αλλά να κρατήσεις τους ανθρώπους ενωμένους με τα δεσμά της ειρήνης και
της φιλίας.
Συγχαρητήρια λοιπόν στους μαθητές μας.

Εuropean Youth Murals: Participation in a European competition
The pupils of the 4th grade of the 3rd Primary Schoolof Agii Anargyri, Athens are going to take part in the European Youth Murals competition with their work: “The Mermaid, King Alexander’s sister” inspired by the popular Greek legend. The exhibition – competition will take place in the city of Salou, Tarragona, Spain in autumn.
Athens, 15th June 2014
Dear friends ,
There exists a popular Greek
legend which talks about a mermaid
who lived in the Aegean
for hundreds of years who was thought to be Thessalonike, sister of Alexander the Great.
•
After
conquering the world, Alexander decided that he would conquer death as well. He
asked the wise men how to go about this. They said that the water of life would
grant him immortality if he could kill the dragon that guards it.
•
Alexander
accomplished this feat and brought the water back to his home.
•
Tired
as he was , he took a nap.
•
While
sleeping, his sister Thessalonike found the water and thought it was only
regular water. She didn’t know that it was the water of Immortality. She took a
sip for herself and watered some plants.
•
Those
plants never died but changed and became perennials.
•
When
Alexander woke up and discovered what his sister had done cursed her horribly.
•
When
Alexander died, his sister stricken by
grief felt responsible for her brother’s death
and attempted to end her life by
jumping into the sea. Instead of drowning, however, she became a mermaid
passing judgment on mariners throughout the centuries and across the Aegean
and the seven seas. She was to live
forever in the sea growing larger with each passing year. Her form a woman from
the waist up, but from there down she was to have two tails instead of legs.
•
She
has become gigantic and can lift an entire ship with one hand. When she
encounters sailors she asks them if Alexander is still alive:"Is King Alexander still alive?"
•
If they say:"He is dead" she raises great waves
and their ship is lost sending every sailor to the bottom of the sea.
•
If they say:"He lives and reigns and conquers the world" she allows them sail safely in calm seas. In Greece she is called the Gorgona.
...... and a different message from our pupils.........
“Nowadays the quest of the mermaid for her brother is a symbol of the quest of modern man for all those ideals Alexander the Great stands for and has fought for: respect for each other’s civilization including language , religion and traditions through education, collaboration and solidarity among all the peoples.
- Let’s fight for the peaceful co-existence of people against injustice, giving our support to the weak and less privileged. And as Alexander believed:
• “It is not important to conquer the world but to keep all the people united in peace and friendship”.
• If you meet a mermaid in your voyages try to remember the correct answer and as modern little Alexanders , let’s all try to spread the values of peace and friendship around the world.

A school visit to the Acropolis of Athens!
Agii Anargyri, April 6th,2014
At the shade of the most ancient olive tree of Athens, Attica.
Projects made by the pupils themselves.
Dear e Twinners,
Projects made by the pupils themselves.
Dear e Twinners,
We are students of the 4th grade of the 3rd Primary school of Agii Anargyri and we would like to tell you a few things about the most important monuments of our town and the city of Athens.
Agii Anargyri, is a nice suburb only 7 km away from the city of Athens and the Acropolis. We are very lucky, aren't we?
In the pictures below you can see Peisistratus’ olive tree , the only one left in the district of Attica, Athens
from the ancient olive grove. The
tyrant of Athens, Peisistratus ( 560-527 B.C) had ordered all the citizens of
Athens, to plant
as many olive trees in the broader area
of Athens as they could. This olive tree has remained alive in the centre of
our town for almost 2.500 years. Olive trees in Greece have been considered as
sacred trees since ancient times.It is a preserved nature monument ,stillgreen and alive after allthose years.
Υou can also see the church of Saint Anargyri , Kosmas and Damianos the protectors of
our town. There are also some pictures
of a very beautiful environmental park surrounding our town full of trees, flowers, birds and smallanimals like tortoises,,lakes with ducks and fish and so many other places for fun nad adventure for kids like us. We enjoy visiting the park with our families on Sundays.
However the most important monument of the Ancient Greek civilization is the magnificent temple on the Acropolis of Athens, known as the Parthenon. It was built between 447
and 432 BCE in the Age of Pericles, and it was dedicated
to the city’s patron and protector
, goddess Athena. It has been standing at the highest edge of the
city of Athens for almost 2.400 years!
My town is very close to the Acropolis, in the city of Athens.We often visit this place.We feel like living in Ancient Greece!
(*acropolis : the highest point-edge of the city )
