Hello everyone.I'm Ioanna, a primary school teacher and I'm working in the same school about 2 decades. It's not my first etwinning project but I accidentaly started with a christmans subject to cope with etwinning 5 years ago.

My school is situated in a coastal town near international airport Venizelos.I Artemida is named by the godess Artemis or Diana,who was adorshipped in the area the ancient years.

The most exciting about the situation is that sea is a few metres from our school.

It's rather small school with 130 studens and 7 teachers.The last 15 years we share accomodation with the 5th primary school with 6 teachers and a little bit fewer students.

We are multicultural schools and our aim is to respect diversity and to fight bullying as well.

So happy to meet you all!

Maria / Burgos / Spain

2023-11-12 18:43:45 UTC

The school is located in the city centre. We only have one group per grade. Something peculiar about it is that we do not have a huge playground as other schools have. Our playground is in the basement. Half of it is open to fresh air but the other half is covered. Bearing in mind that Burgos is a really cold city, students can freely play even in winter.

Maria / Burgos / Spain

2023-11-12 18:47:41 UTC

We are going to join the project since the 1st grade to the 6th grade, being around 100 students in total. I will ask them to look for information about all the cities and countries taking part in this project and even the smallest ones will write Christmas wishes in English.
