In the occasion of Global Washing Hands Day (20/1) pupils from Greece made a short project about how to protect ourselves from the germs and the unhealthy microorganisms.
The 1st part of our project is about keeping our hands clean and the 2nd part (due to next week) is about protecting our respiratory system.
OPERATION “CLEAN HANDS”
HOW MANY OF YOU WASHED THEIR HANDS TODAY?
Starting with that question we take the opportunity to talk with the kids about when we have to wash our hands and why. Also, how the germs stick on our hands and how they manage to get us sick. We start to write on a tableaux all that the kids come up with…
WHICH IS THE RIGHT WAY TO WASH YOU HANDS?
Let’ s make an experiment. Ask for three volunteers to come and put a little bit of olive oil and nutmeg dust on their hands. One of them wash his hands with soap and water, the second one washes only with water and the third one doesn’t wash his hands. Now they go to their groups and shake hands with. What are you observe? How many of you are “infected” with the “microorganisms”?

BRAINSTORMING
We talked about the experiment and what are they most impressed of. Pupils said that only washing with soap was effective and then we talked about the microorganisms. They are not all infective, but with touching we can be sick especially in winter time, because the germs tend to search for warm places like our hands, noses, mouths to live and multiply.
So when we MUST wash our hands? Pupils come up with the following…
Before and after eating
After the toilet
After playing and after school
After we touched dirt or animals
After we sneeze, cough or nose whipping
If we are sick or we mingled with someone sick

How to stay healthy in winter - part 2
Our kids and pupils are very creative and have more ideas to be health in winter time !!!
1. Traditional greek treats for energy in winter
In Greece we have some traditional treats with fast calories, ideal for wintertime (for kids and thin people mostly, I say). The 1st one called "submarine" and is a spoonful of vanilla served in a glass of water. The 2nd is "loukoumi" (a soft sticky traditional sweet) served between 2 biscuits. There was a lesson in Language about traditional treats in Greece, so we reenact a traditional greek cafe in classroom and we enjoyed a sweet break..
2. But as they say it`s better to prevent than cure.
Pupils in Greece - Veria talked in class about prevention tips(the before rules) and cure tips( the after rules)
There is a file named " cold and flu" in the files section with more photos but the main tips are so nicely summarised here.
3. Natural remedies
Kids from Poland prepared onion syrup for cough.
How to Make a syrup with onions - recipe
Peel two or three onions. Finely chop the onion and charge quite abundant sugar. You can also pour honey. The whole set aside, covered, for about five hours until the onion juice empty. Onion syrup ready. Onion syrup is good for the child's cough, cold, and even hay.

European lesson about healthy teeth
Here's my toothpaste
Here's my brush
I won't hurry, I won't rush.
Working hard to keep teeth clean
Front and back and in between
When I brush for quite a while
I will have a happy smile.

Epiphany (holiday)
Epiphany or Theophany is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ.
In Greece, Cyprus and the Greek diaspora throughout the world, the feast is called the Theophany or colloquially called the Phōta and customs revolve around the Great Blessing of the Waters.
In Spain and some Latin American countries, Epiphany day is called El Día de los Reyes (The Day of the Kings, the day when a group of Kings or Magi, as related in the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew, arrived to worship and bring three gifts to the baby Jesus after following a star in the heavens.
In Italy, the word "Epiphania" was transformed into Befana, the great fair held at that season, when sigillaria of terracotta or baked pastry were sold. In popular folklore, Befana visits the children of parts of Italy on the eve of January 6 to fill their socks with candy and presents if they had been good or a lump of coal or dark candy if they had been bad.
In Poland, Epiphany, or "Trzech Króli" (Three Kings) is celebrated in grand fashion, with huge parades held welcoming the Wise Men, often riding on camels or other Animals.
