Our Solar System

Lately we have been working a lot on classroom decoration and posters that help children expand their vocabulary in Greek.

This week is all about the Solar System. Here is a poster on our solar system, complete with the Sun and all 8 planets. At the bottom of the poster the students may find interesting trivia about our solar system. You could even make a quiz for them!

 It is in A3 paper size. You can purchase a digital copy, print and laminate it for your classroom wall, or you could order a hard copy. You may want to accompany the poster with a worksheet for your students.

Question of the week

One question every week for your students! In our classroom, we draw one correct answer from our answer box every Friday and the winner gets a present from our prize box. Here is a winter related question:

You could post your answers in the comments section!

Countries and capital cities

We have started incorporating some general knowledge games into our lessons. Here is the first one!

A selection of country outlines (here you can find a collage of some of the countries my students come from or can relate to but of course you could make your own collage) on an A3 size printable.

In a different printable you can find their capital cities.

You could laminate the two printables, cut out the capital cities, stick some blue-tac and get your children to pin them on the right country outline.


We have also printed out famous landmarks from each city to add to the learning experience. However, you could use flags, photographs of loved ones who live in these cities or even foods or really anything that you may want your children to relate to.

You could colour the country and the capital city the same colour to help your children learn them.

Which country would you like us to add?
 

Awards and certificates

My students love their awards as much as they love the contents of our prize box! I am looking forward to the look on their faces when they see all their hard work being rewarded!

This year I have made awards for all the different achievements my students can reach and it has worked wonders with the individual areas I want them to improve. The awards look amazing and the children feel very proud holding them!

You can purchase the set of 8 awards here. 

Our reading corner

I always try to find new ways to encourage my students to read books. Reading books develops vocabulary and spelling skills, improves expression, unlocks new experiences and senses for children and enhances their imagination. A book is truly a child's best friend!

I have set up a book club at school for my students. We get together, read a story and then complete a handout with fun and engaging activities.

This new feature is now available on the Greek4Kids blog. The book we are exploring this week is Όταν η πασχαλίτσα συνάντησε ελέφαντα.

Print out the activities' handout and enjoy this book with your children!

Learning wall: Days of the week

Whether in the classroom or at home, visual stimulation is the best way to teach children new things. Here is a Days-of-the-week kit to print, cut out and put on your learning wall.

The board resembles a school blackboard

while the days are a different colour each to help your child with the early letter recognition

You can choose to get the digital copy or order a hard copy printed on hard card paper.
