Pupils learned some keywords about our health, like flu, headache, stomach ache, sore throat, being sick, sneeze, cough...
Then they talked about ways of avoiding the spreading of the flu.
They made a list of some easy rules:
Put a tissue in front of your mouth when you sneeze or cough,
Stay in bed in case of fever,
Drink a lot of orange squash (vitamins keep you healthy!).
Then they tried to invent a song using a famous tune (Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush) and here is the result!
THANK YOU ITALY FOR THIS NICE LESSON !!!!

Onion syrup for the third time and ...
Who would have thought that the onion syrup will be such a hit !!!
Pupils from Pszów (Poland) prepared also another syrup which is also a natural remedy for cold. It could be made up quickly and with ingredients that we have on hand because it is made of lemons, honey, garlic and water.
Here’s the recipe.
Ingredients:
½ glass of water
1 lemon
2 tablespoons of honey
2 garlic cloves
Instructions:
Boil water. When it is not so hot, you should add honey, finely chopped garlic and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Mix well to combine. Then strain the mixture so that only the liquid is left. Take up to 3 tablespoons of the mixture every day to alleviate cold symptoms. Store in the refrigerator when not in use.
We encourage you to try it :)
In the pictures you can see the onion syrup and the lemon, honey, garlic syrup.

Greece kids try onion syrup
Kids from Greece tried onion syrup. They made it with recipe from Poland kids :) Some tried it and said it wasn`t bad at all. They concluded that it`s better to use natural remedies than artificial and chemical ones.
Healthy in winter - keep germs away
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.
