May 2026 – Celebrating What Unites Us- Europe Day

In May, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, together with their teacher, Ioanna Sarrou, celebrated Europe Day by participating in a creative workshop inspired by the title of our eTwinning project, "Celebrating What Unites Us."

The aim of this activity was to help students reflect on the values that unite the people of Europe, such as friendship, cooperation, peace, respect, equality, and solidarity.

To celebrate this special day, our pupils first designed the letters of our project title on a large scale. They then filled each letter with vibrant colours, creative patterns, and meaningful drawings that symbolized unity, diversity, and European friendship. Through their artistic creations, the children expressed their vision of a Europe where people work together, respect one another, and celebrate their cultural diversity.

This creative workshop gave the students the opportunity to express their ideas freely, develop their artistic skills, and reflect on the importance of belonging to a united European community. Their colourful artwork became a beautiful symbol of the message that, although we come from different countries and cultures, we share common values and a common future.

Celebrating Europe Day was a meaningful and enjoyable experience that encouraged our students to appreciate the richness of Europe's cultural diversity while recognizing everything that brings us together. This activity was a wonderful conclusion to our eTwinning journey, reminding us that together we shine beyond borders.

May 2026 –  GAME BANK

In May, the Year 3 pupils of the 2nd Primary School of Malesina, participated in a fun and interactive activity as part of our eTwinning project by sharing traditional games from their countries.

The aim of this activity was to help students discover the cultural heritage of their European partners through play while promoting cooperation, communication, and intercultural understanding.

 

 

Our class presented the traditional Greek game "Rock, Paper, Scissors" (Petra – Psalidi – Harti), one of the most popular games played by children in Greece. The students explained the rules of the game and demonstrated how it is played. They shared that each player secretly chooses one of three symbols—rock, paper, or scissors—and reveals it at the same time. The winner is decided according to the following rules: Rock beats Scissors, Scissors beat Paper, and Paper beats Rock. If both players choose the same symbol, the game ends in a draw and another round is played.

 

 

In return, our Romanian partners introduced us to their traditional game called "Breads." Our students were excited to learn the rules of this new game and enjoyed playing it in the classroom. They had great fun comparing the two games and discovering how traditional games can bring children together, regardless of the country they come from.

Through this activity, the pupils explored different cultural traditions, developed their communication and collaboration skills, and realized that games are a universal language that connects children all over the world. Sharing and playing each other's traditional games was a joyful experience that strengthened our friendship with our European partners and made our eTwinning journey even more enjoyable.
