Cultural Programme Images and Words

Within the framework of the Cultural Programme “Images and Words”, the participating students worked interdisciplinary, marrying the Visual Arts with Speech and Language Therapy. They each created their own handmade book, with the theme that each stood out. Along the way, they explored the world of animals and the categories of fruit, enriched their descriptive language with the use of adjectives and created small clay works, as well as images using various visual techniques (collage, drawing, painting with markers and tempera, etc.).

The pedagogical objectives achieved were the students:

-To produce handmade books on the theme of animals and fruits.

-Experiment with different materials.

-Experiment with a variety of techniques in the context of the visual arts.

-To improve speech production and comprehension.

-Group animals and fruits according to their particular characteristics.

The programme was coordinated by Iphigenia Avramopoulou (PE08-Cultural Arts) and implemented together with the responsible VET/educators Evangelia Kanellopoulou (PE21-Logotherapy) and Georgia Tzianara (PE02-New Language).

Construction in the recreational park “Hippocampus”.

On Thursday 30 May our school visited the recreation park “Hippocamelos” in Sagaiika, Achaia. This park has a zoo and is home to many species of animals and birds. The children and the teachers were fascinated by the animals and the surrounding area. We sat in a specially designed outdoor area and ate our lunch under the shade of the trees. We were then taken on a tour of the zoo where we saw rare chicken, buffalo, hawks , peacocks , parrots , lambs , deer and deer but also camels, llamas, lions, tigers, monkeys and alligators. At the same time, as many children as wanted to ride with the help of trained staff and other children fed the animals with appropriate feed that we obtained from the park itself. It was a beautiful experience for all of us.
