-Despoina and I sit together in class and she is very good at all the subjects ! I think we are a great combination because we like the same exact things !

For example we listen to same type of music , we dance together and we love to go shopping !

- When we where in 5th grade , once a girl , didn't have any food with her for lunch and Despoina gave hers away to make this girl happy ! This is one example to show how generous , good-hearted and kind Despoina is !! We really understand eachother and when we are together we loose our minds !! Further more when i have a problem she is always there to support me !!

- Despoina may be shy at first but when you get to know her she's the funniest person you can ever meet ! I love her so much ! I'm really glad that i met her !!

Before she moved in my town, she lived in Paris with her her family. Her parents are very kind and friendly! Dimitra is a lonley child,so when she feels bored she plays with her cousins.

Unfortunalty, Dimitra and I dont sit together in class, but we talk during break. She is very good at physics, just like me! I help her with her greek and she helps me with my french. Together we do a lot of things. Our favorite thing to do is playing basketball, we love that sport!

When we was in fourth grade, a boy threw down my lunch and then he talked bad to me. Dimitra saw that, she came to support me and she shared her lunch with me. She listened to me carefully and she hugged me. She is really kind and good-hearted.

(Giannis Mourtos B'3)

I met her on the first day of kindergarten, so we’ve been friends for about eleven years. Because I was very young when I met her I don’t remember much but  I can  recall that she sheared her toys with me. Although she was born in Italy she moved in Greece in a very young age with her parents and she started school here. Her parents are very polite and welcoming. Her father owns an Italian restaurant and her mother is a teacher. She also has an older brother, his name is Lambros and he is two years older than her.

We used to sit together in class. She’s very good at maths and english and she always helps me if I need any help with this subjects. Because she grow up here she doesn’t have any problem with the language. She is also very good at gymnastics.

When we were in the fifth grade of primary school , some boys in the playground were making fun of me ,which was not nice. But Electra immediately stood up for me. She was  very brave and loyal. She’s always there for me!

In conclusion, I feel incredibly lucky to have Electra in my life. A true friend is hard to find, and she has proved that she will always support me no matter what. I hope that our friendship lasts for many years because she is truly a wonderful person.

Alexandra Pandi, B3

The family of my sister is her dad George who is a police-man,her mom Stella who is a shop assistant and me Thanos.I met her for the first time when she come home from the hospital.

Me and my little sister haven't got some common interests because she is playing with her toys (like Barbies and she always drawing).In contract I'm playing with my phone, playing football and Playstation.

A special incident is my sister don't care about what the other people say.

One time a said to my sister that she is ugly and she told to the kid I don't care about it and she left.

My conclusion for my sister is good because she is a great person,I'm never boring with her but sometimes she makes me angry.The most important is that she always makes me feel happy.

Maria lives in Athens with her parents and younger brother. I met her at school when we were in the same class and quickly became close friends.

We share many common interests. We both like listening to music, watching funny videos and hanging out.

She is kind, funny and always helpful. Once,when I forgot my lunch,she shared hers with me, which showed how generous and caring she is.

In conclusion, Maria is a wonderful person and a fantastic friend. She always makes me smile and I feel very lucky to have her in my life.

I really got to meet Eva when we were forced to seat together in class. After talking we realised we had a lot in common and became friends. Before meeting me Eva was supposed to move to another house and change schools.

But in the end her parents decided to stay. Evas parents are really generous and funny. Her father is the match professor while her mother is an philologist. Her brother is called Kostantinos and he now lives in Thessaloniki.

Eva and I go to various activities together, like art class and more. We both love drawing so when we draw together we are almost unstoppable! Eva also collects comics and plays the piano just like me. So we often chat about music when we are out. When we learned that we would go to different schools both me and Eva were really devastated thinking or friendship will end but that only made our friendship even stronger. Even afer making countlles more new friends she never stopped talking to me. She always knows how to comfort me. She has the good kind of stubborness and always reaches her goal. That's what mostly keeps our friendship alive.

I may not see her as often anymore but I will never regret meeting her.

I always feel at ease when being with her and I trust her very much.

She is truly the best!

Theodore loves playing basketball and video games. He also likes riding his bike and meeting his friends. We both like going to the cinema and hanging out with our friends. We don't share the same interest in football because I play football every day but he doesn't enjoy it.

One day at the park while we were riding our bikes one boy fell down and hurt his knee. Theodore stopped to help him and gave him some water. That incident shows us a lot of things about his character. He is kind, sensitive, protective and helpful. He is also friendly, polite, generous and sociable and makes friends easily. Finally he is funny and he knows lots of jokes and makes us laugh.

Theodore is a great person and we always have fun together.

   Melina and I have lots in common. We both do Rythmik Gymnastics and like reading books. We also both play the piano and listen to the same kinds of music.

   Melina is very kind, helpful, sociable and thoughtful. Once in practice I fell down and scraped my knee. She was the first person to come ask if I was alright and then helped me walk to the trainer so she could clean my wound. That was the first interaction we had and how we became friends.

  In the overall, although she is not Greek, Melina is a lovely person and I am very glad I met her.

    The element of diversity is reflected by the different appearances of the people in the mural, which shows the diversity of cultures, customs, clothes, food etc. Unity is portrayed by the peace, joy and fun in the picture because even though the humans have different physical characteristics they all coexist. Harmony is depicted by the happiness and calmness between the people. The picture also conveys a message of tolerance, not only because they are all tolerating, accepting and interacting with each other, but also because the tree in the mural has palms. They are holding children with different nationalities, symbolizing peace and acceptance.

Vassiliki Nasiou B1

Tolerancia means tolerance.All the people in this picture tolerate each other don't like but have to live in peace.Armonia means harmony.Also people in this picture are joint.

Sam is 2 years older than me, and I met him during the summer before 6th grade in a record store in Monastiraki. I was searching for a vinyl record that I had been looking for for 4 months when I saw him holding it. I immediately went up to him and asked him where he found it, but he told me it was the last one on the shelf. Seeing how crushed I was, he told me that he would let me buy it and that he could just order it from his uncle's store. We then got to chatting, since he was the first person I had met until then who listened to the same music as me. He told me he was from America and that he had moved here for his father's job. He has an older brother named Bob (short for Robert). As I mentioned earlier, his dad moved here to find better work to take better care of them, since their mother has passed away.

Sam is really into heavy metal music, just like me. He has a lot of great discs and we listen to them on my turntable when he comes over, but sadly he doesn't come over often since he and his family live in the city center. We also have a band together, since he is a great singer. Another really interesting hobby of his is miniature plane modeling, especially WWII planes. HE IS OBSESSED! One time I went over to his house and he had a room filled with tools and shelves packed with planes! There were even some hanging from the ceiling!

Even though he might look a bit intimidating, Sam is a really sweet guy. He cares more about others than for himself. He is also very brave and would never let his friends get hurt in any way. I have 2 examples that show just how caring and brave Sam is. 1st: Me, Sam, and another friend of ours were walking down the city center's main street after a long day of shopping for gear for our band. Then, a guy jumped out of a small alleyway and threatened us to give him all of our stuff. My other friend and I were terrified, but Sam wasn't having it. He grabbed the sketchy guy's arm, twisted it, and immediately punched the guy in the face with full force. That shows how brave Sam is, but he is also very caring. A few months ago, our third friend (we'll call him Dave for now) had just broken up with his girlfriend of 2 years and he was crushed. Sam immediately noticed how sad Dave was and asked him what happened. Dave broke down on the spot and explained everything to us. Sam comforted Dave throughout the whole thing and was always by his side to help him.

What I'm trying to say is that Sam is a great guy and I am so happy that I got to meet him. He has made my life much happier, especially since when I met him, I was going through a tough time myself, and it was nice to have a friend there to support me!

I met him about two months after he was born so when i was only 1 year old. I met him from such a young age because my parents were really good friends with his parents so nearly every weekend, we would meet up at either my house, his house, or go out for coffee and food. His parents are really kind and friendly. His mom is a chartered accountant and his dad is an insurer. He also has a twin sister that really looks like him and she is barely older.

Unfortunately like i said before he doesn't live near me so we can only meet on weekends, but when we meet we love to play sports, watch movies and sometimes play videogames. The other days we can only talk with our phones or sometimes play videogames but not for a long time because his parents don't let him play for more than 30 - 45 minutes on weekdays except for fridays.

Once about 4 years ago we went to a football field and played in the corner for about 30 minutes because other boys, that were older than us, had been there before us and got the goal. We were waiting for them to leave and when they finally left , we started playing. After a while, a boy that was 1-2 years older than us, came and tried to make us leave so he can play without waiting. After a little bit he understood that we wouldn't leave so he left. In about 20 minutes he came back and aggresively twisted my arm. Then me and my friend pushed him so he would leave us alone and he felt down. Then he left and my friend asked me if i was okay. That shows that my friend is kind for asking if i was okay and that he would do anything to help a real friend.

We might not live close but i don't care because the times we meet up we have so much fun. I am glad i met him.

Isidoros Zairis B2

I met her on the first day at school. We started talking in the breaks and we quickly became friends. Emilia cames from Greece and she lives with her parents and her younger brother in Kantza. Her brothers name is Alex and he is very funny.

Emilia and I have a lot in common. She is very good at German and she loves listening to music. We often listen to music together. We both play te piano too! She also enjoys drawing and playing padel.

When she first came to our school, she was a little shy but when we met she wasn't anymore. She is a nice person. She is very patient,honest and helpful. She helps other people very often. I remember one day when we were playing padel it suddenly started raining, so we ran to a nearby cafè. We were laughing all the way there because we were completely wet and surprised by the sudden rain. It was a really funny day.

Emilia is kind,funny and helpful. She always makes me laugh when I am sad. I really like spending time with her and I am very happy that shr is mx friend.

The diversity in the mural is mostly represented by the different races that can be seen interacting with one another .

The unity is portrayed by the fact that many people young and old no matter the race or age are engaging with each other.

The harmony in this mural is resembled by the piecefull senery . For example the bright colors the musicians in the backround and by how the trees trunk turns into hands and softly cradles the children sitting on it .

Lastly the tolerance is represented by the fact that they all have to tolarate each other and share the same space in order to live in harmony.

I met her in kindergarden but unfortunately we were separated in primary school and got back together in middle school. Last year, i went and talked to her because i recognised her and we immediately became friends again. Her parents are really nice to me everytime i come over to her house and her little brother always talks to me. She also has a baby sister who is one and a half years old and she is adorable.

Maria is really good at physics,literature and her favourite subject is english. She likes listening to trendy songs from social media and some old songs from the early 2000's. Her favourite colour is navy blue and her favourite fruits are grapes. She just loves them!

Maria is a really pleasant person to be around and she is the kindest and most honest girl i have ever met in my whole life. She is also has got a great sense of humor and she makes me laugh until i cry everytime i talk to her.

When we were in kindergarden, some boys used to bully her. One day i got really mad and started yelling at them. Maria handled the situasion perfectly! She told me to stop yelling and called for the teacher. The teacher told the boys to stop messing with us and or she would call their parents and they never did it again.

I believe that Maria is a very good person, who is kind to everyone and always knows how to read the room. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

First, Agia Sophia was built in 537 AD. It was originally a Christian but it was changed. It has a large dome, beautiful mosaics and impressive architecture. It is a great example of Byzantine architecture.

Second, The tower of Pisa was built in the 12th century. It is famous because it leans to one side. It is made of white marble and has many arches.

Finally, The Sydney Opera House was opened in 1973. It is a modern building with a unique roof that looks like sails. It is made of concrete and glass and is used for concerts, opera and other performances.

In conclusion, these three buildings are very different. Agia Sophia is famous for its history and large dome, the Tower of Pisa for its unusual shape, and the Sydney Opera House for its modern design. However, all three are important landmarks and attract many visitors every year.

The Taj Mahal is one of the most famous buildings in the world. It is located in Agra, India, and was built in the 17th century by Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his wife.

The Taj Mahal is a beautiful example of Mughal architecture. It has a large white dome, four tall minarets and beautiful gardens. Its design is symmetrical, which means that both sides look the same. It also has detailed decorations and patterns.

The main material used to build the Taj Mahal is white marble. It also includes red sandstone and precious stones, which are used for decoration. The white marble makes the building look bright and elegant.

In conclusion, the Taj Mahal is a wonderful example of art and architecture. Its beautiful design and special materials make it one of the most important landmarks in India.

Did you know that the Colosseum in Rome is the largest ancient amphitheater ever built? It sits right in the center of the city, just east of the Roman Forum. Construction started way back in 72 AD under Emperor Vespasian and was finished in 80 AD by his successor, Titus. Later, Emperor Domitian made some extra changes. Because these three rulers belonged to the Flavian dynasty, the building was officially named the Flavian Amphitheater.

The Romans built this massive structure using travertine stone, a volcanic rock called tuff, and Roman concrete for the foundations and walls. It was absolutely huge and could hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators! People gathered there to watch gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, dramas about Roman myths, and even mock sea battles. However, by the early medieval era, it wasn't used for entertainment anymore. Instead, people used it for housing, workshops, a fortress, and even a Christian shrine.

Even though earthquakes and people stealing stones ruined a big part of it, the Colosseum stands strong today. In fact, it is listed as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. Millions of tourists visit it every year. Also, every Good Friday, the Pope leads a torchlit procession around it. You can even see it on the back of the Italian 5-cent euro coin!

How Did It Get Its Famous Name?

Originally, the building's Latin name was simply amphitheatrum, which just means amphitheater. So, where did the name "Colosseum" actually come from?

It turns out it wasn't named after the building's massive size, but because of something standing right next to it! Emperor Nero had built a giant, 100-foot bronze statue of himself called the Colossus of Nero. After Nero died, later emperors changed the statue's head to look like the sun god, and Emperor Hadrian moved it right next to the amphitheater using 24 elephants!

The word colosseum comes from the Latin word for "gigantic". By the Middle Ages, the giant statue was gone, but people had spent centuries using it as a landmark. They started calling the stadium "the Colosseum" simply because it was the building next to the Colossus. The name stuck, and that is how the world's most famous stadium got its nickname!

His parents are very kind and friendly. His father has got his own car repair garage and his mother is responsible for appointments. He has also got an older sister called Angeliki, who is in the second year of high school.

The Colosseum is one of the most famous monuments in the world. It is in Rome, the capital of Italy. It was built by the Roman Emperor Vespasian in 72 AD and it was completed by his son, Titus, in 80 AD. It was built because the Romans wanted a place to watch different shows, such as gladiator fights, animal fights and other events. The Colosseum was a very big stadium and could hold thousands of people. It was made of stone and concrete. Today, many tourists visit the Colosseum every year because it is an important part of Roman history. It is also a symbol of ancient Rome and its culture.

•UNIDAD =Unity

•TOLERANCIA =Tolerance

•DIVERSIDAD =Diversity

•ARMONIA =Harmony

These words are also described in the mural.let me show you where .

Unity

This is shown where the kids are playing and the adults are talking and playing music all together.

Tolerance

This is visible where the two women in the back are discussing about something, And from what they are wearing it looks like they are from different countries but still accept each other showing Tolerance towards each other.

Diversity

This is shown where the woman,the man,and the kid are dancing. It shows that gender,age or skin colour doesn't block them from interacting with each other .

Harmony

I see harmony in the people who are interacting with each othe and with nature in the mural ,and also where the tree have hands holding the children and the birds .

The louvre museum started in paris in 1190 and at first it was a medieval fortres to protect Paris from attacs. We can still see the ruins of the fortress in the basment today. Then in the 14th century it was rebuilt by charles the 5th and later at the 16th century king francis rebuilt it different. In 1682, King Louis the 14th moved the royal court to the Palace of Versailles, leaving the Louvre to be used mostly by artists. During the French Revolution in 1793, the Louvre officially opened to the public as a national museum with just 537 paintings. Todayit is the largest museum with more than 70000 square meters! In 1989, the famous the glass pyramid (designed by architect I.M. Pei) was opened in the main courtyard, beautifully mixing modern design with historic architecture.

The Colossus of Rhodes was a very famous statue from the ancient times and it was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It was located on the island of Rhodes in Greece. The statue was made by an artist named Chares of Lindos and it was completed in 280 BC. The people built it to celebrate their god of the sun, Helios, because they believed he helped them win a war. It was a giant statue made of bronze and it was around 33 metres high. It was standing at the entrance of the harbour. Unfortunately, an earthquake broke it in 226 BC, so it only stayed standing for about 54 years. Today we cannot see it anymore, but it is still an important symbol of the ancient Greek history.

I met him a bit after I first went to middle school and we became friends pretty quickly. He's polite, funny and honest. I haven't really met his parents nor his siblings yet. John and I share many common interests. We have watched the same shows for example. and we also have a pretty similar music taste.

I'm very happy that I have a friend like John. I really like spending time with him and we always have fun when we go out

My best friend’s name is Lucas and he comes from Rome, Italy. His family moved to our town two years ago, and we have been classmates ever since.

Lucas is quite tall with wavy brown hair and big dark eyes. He is extremely polite and sociable, so he makes friends very easily. His favorite subjects are History and Science, but he can be a bit impatient when the lessons are slow.

I will always remember an experience that proved what a wonderful friend he is. Last month, right before our big History exam, I caught a terrible flu and had to stay in bed for a week. I was completely stressed out because I missed all the important revision notes.

Lucas noticed I was missing, and without me even asking, he came to my house after school. He brought me his own beautifully written notebooks, explained the hardest parts of the history chapters, and even made me laugh to take my stress away. Thanks to his help, I passed the test with an excellent mark.

This experience showed me that Lucas is not just a classmate to hang out with during recess. He is a caring and reliable friend who always supports me when I am in trouble.
