EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Afternoon school study for the subjects of the following day is a vital part of the learning process. This programme aims at helping students complete the preparation of their homework at school, both in Greek and in German, so that kids can return at home ready for the next day. An equally significant goal for the first classes of Primary School however, is to encourage kids to develop their own method and autonomy in their study.
Skilled educators monitor and encourage kids in these very first steps and teach them proper time management.
Pupils are placed in small groups depending on their class, and do their homework right after their lunch break at the school restaurant.
The students, who have registered for the afternoon school and stay at school to do their homework, are also given the chance to attend - on their day of preference- any of the arts or sports activities presented in this leaflet. In this case, the programme of studying is adjusted accordingly.

Programme of afternoon studying (for children of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade)

Having completed their morning program and eaten at the school restaurant, pupils can remain at school and be embodied into the Afternoon School Study Program. Educators, who supervise and assist them, intervene to their work in a discrete and supportive manner.
Children have already learnt how to study and organize their time effectively. What they need at this stage is proper guidance, so that they are able to check and correct their mistakes on their own.
Teachers provide students with the right stimuli and are well aware of how and when they need to help them in doing their afternoon tasks. The aim of this programme is to help students be autonomous in their studying of Greek, German and English, so that they can depend on their abilities and will not need their parents' assistance at home.

Afternoon German Class (for all the students)
The aim of the afternoon courses is to give children a greater chance to be exposed to the language and consolidate the structures and vocabulary learnt, placing emphasis on the communicative approach of language teaching.
Children who may face some difficulties in German or want to reinforce this language can attend these afternoon classes and be effectively helped at school.

English Language Support Courses (for the pupils of the 3rd , 4th, 5th and 6th Grade)
Afternoon classes for English Language Learning consist of small groups. Both support and consolidation classes are offered.
Support classes are suitable for pupils who are willing to devote more time to their English language learning and extend their knowledge.
Consolidation classes, on the other hand, recycle , practice and reinforce grammatical and vocabulary items already taught.

On the whole, afternoon classes highlight the communicative aspect of the foreign language. Vocabulary is effortlessly consolidated through the use of games, songs, narration, dialogues and role-playing. The lesson is enriched by modern audiovisual teaching aids in order to draw kid's attention.

IT (for children of the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th grade)

Information technology is a rapidly advancing science. These changes affect our orientation in education. One of the new aims is to train children how to learn on their own, search, select and assess information that they will then turn into knowledge.
It would not be possible to achieve this aim without the worldwide net of computers, the Internet, which is the most powerful source of information.
In the afternoon classes, children use computers, surf the net, communicate with students all around the world and gather information. They also learn to upload their own work to the net and create their own web pages, which are hosted in our server.

Furthermore, students learn how to create their own multimedia applications.

"Junior Scientists" Team (for the 5th and 6th Grade)
A very interesting team leaves its mark on our school life every year. The pupils of this team, explore, experiment and discover knowledge in a...natural way. Little scientists in action come along ready to interpret their experiments, explain the natural phenomena of our surrounding world and enrich their knowledge of Natural Sciences. The vital ingredients for this are imagination, inspiration, willingness and a yearning for knowledge.
