FIRST-YEAR CLASSES (11 years old)

• First Term: Students will write a letter, based on a template provided by the teacher, (we will provide you with the template) to describe their family, their house and pets (if any). The presentation will include personal photos. The letters must be sent no later than mid-November.

• December: The first video call, dedicated to greetings and exchanging Christmas carols, must be scheduled by the middle of the month. It will be an occasion in which students will have the chance to see their penfriend and ask some questions directly. 

• Second Term (from April): Working in pairs or small groups, students will record a short audio clip about their daily routine in the form of an interview. Teachers will handle the exchange of audio files with the partner school. 

• May: Scheduling of the second video call during which students will ask each other questions about their daily routine.

General Note for All Classes

All students will be given the opportunity to exchange emails with a student from the partner school. This correspondence will be carried out on a voluntary basis, depending on the availability of the partner school.

Μετάφραση: 

Σχεδόν παράδεισος, Δυτική Βιρτζίνια (περιοχή της Αμερικής)

τα Blue Ridge βουνά, ο Shenandoah ποταμός

Η ζωή είναι παλιά εδώ, παλιότερη και από τα δέντρα

Νεότερη από τα βουνά, μεγαλώνοντας σαν το αεράκι

Επαρχιακοί δρόμοι, πηγαίνετέ με σπίτι στο μέρος που ανήκω

Στη Δυτική Βιρτζίνια, στο βουνό Mama

Πηγαίνετέ με σπίτι, επαρχιακοί δρόμοι

Όλες οι αναμνήσεις συγκεντρωμένες γύρω από αυτήν

Η κυρία του ανθρακωρύχου, ξένη προς στο μπλε νερό

Σκοτεινή και σκονισμένη, ζωγραφισμένη στον ουρανό

Ομιχλώδης γεύση από το σεληνόφως, δάκρυα στο μάτι μου

Επαρχιακοί δρόμοι, πηγαίνετέ  με σπίτι στο μέρος που ανήκω

Στη Δυτική Βιρτζίνια, στο βουνό Mama

Πηγαίνετέ με σπίτι, επαρχιακοί δρόμοι

Ακούω την φωνή της,τις πρωινές ώρες, με καλεί

Το ραδιόφωνο μου θυμίζει το σπίτι μου (που βρίσκεται) πολύ μακριά

Και καθώς οδηγώ στον δρόμο, έχω την αίσθηση

Ότι έπρεπε να είμαι σπίτι χθες, χθες

Επαρχιακοί δρόμοι, πηγαίνετέ  με σπίτι στο μέρος που ανήκω

Στη Δυτική Βιρτζίνια, στο βουνό Mama

Πηγαίνετέ με σπίτι, επαρχιακοί δρόμοι

                     

HAPPY NEW SCHOOL YEAR!
