This term, year 2 have been out and about in Athens visiting places of interest. On Friday 4th May, they went to the Benaki Museum to experience its rich cultural history. 

On Tuesday May 29th, they went to the Vorres Museum where they learned about abstract art. The children talked about particular artists and how they create such pieces. They also considered how your feelings can sometimes dictate which colours you choose to use in a piece of  art.

Finally, the children got to create some art of their own using scraps, straws and different types of paper! What fun!

On Friday 18th May 2018, the junior school was treated to a visit by the raucously hilarious English Theatre Company. Their series of shows kicked off with 'The Crab and the Little Mermaid'  for Early Years, Reception & year 1, then 'The Emperor' for years 2, 3 & 4 and finally closed with 'Charlie' for years 5 & 6 in the afternoon. The theatre company had the children laughing as they watched the actors take over the cultural hall. No performance went without a good dose of audience participation and plenty of children got the chance to join the actors on stage and show off their own acting talents! 

A super set of entertaining episodes we'd all agree!

On Friday 11^th May, our school participated in the under-16 tennis tournament at St. Catherine’s school. Our girls’ teams got 2^nd and 3^rd place in doubles. Christina Sideri and Ravena Zanara achieved 2^nd place while Delfin Seygi and Raphaella Dimitrakopoulou got 3^rd. 5 international schools took part in the tournament and all of our pupils showed amazing determination.

On Thursday 17^th May, it was the turn of the under-14s with their tennis tournament taking place at ACS. Again, 5 international schools of Athens participated, and both our boys and girls took 1^st places in doubles; Elizabeth Dimitrellou with Delfin Seygi in girls doubles, and Ivan Cado with Harutaka Ominato in boys doubles.

Well done to everyone involved!

On Thursday 3rd May 2018, the pupils of year 3 took a guided tour of the wonderful Railway Museum of Athens which is located near the centre. As the children are learning about railways of past and present times, it was a particularly worthwhile trip for them to do. Their guide taught them a range of fascinating facts about locomotives in particular and they even got to sit inside some amazingly different carriages from bygone eras. The smiles on their faces showed their enjoyment of a fun day out with lots to learn.

On Thursday 3rd May 2018, both Reception classes visited the interesting and educational museum called Planet Physics for an extension to the learning that has been going on in earnest in their science lessons.

Reception pupils are currently engaged in learning about space: our solar system, its planets; the stars and the moon. Our potential atronauts of the future saw a variety of scientific instruments: a plasma ball, a tsunami tank and a free-fall experiment to prove Galileo Galilei’s theory of how fast different objects fall to the ground.

Finally, the children made the most of their trip when they participated in an interactive and well thought-out theatrical activity about planets. A super trip for our little ones! 

On Thursday 3rd May 2018, year 6 went on a trip to the Digital Museum/ Ακαδαμία Πλάτωνος in Athens. As part of the History curriculum this year, both the Greek language History class and the English language History class have studied the great thinkers of the past and learned about the culture of Ancient Athens, its philosophers and its famous people. 

The children enjoyed visiting this small, modern museum with its computer screens and video rooms as well as walking to the adjacent ruins of Plato’s gymnasium and academy. Exploring this city’s history on our doorstep is a treat not to be missed!

Years 7, 8, 9, 10.

Years 1 & 2.

Years 4,5,6, starting at 9:30

On Thursday 26th and Friday 27th April 2018, 413 pupils, staff members and parents from St Lawrence College made a fantastic contribution to the world-famous charity sporting event known as No Finish Line. The Senior School took its turn first as they ran the circuit at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center on Athens' southern coast. They were followed by the Junior School taking its turn the next day and with even more participants, they exceeded the impressive number of km run on Thursday. In total, St Lawrence College ran an astounding 2997km and in fact won the Champions' Trophy for the greatest overall distance of any of the eleven participating schools as well as 3rd place overall from all organisations who took part! The highest individual distances were the 32 km run by Mr Dimitris Karakostas and 22 km from an 11 year old pupil with a lot of energy, stamina and determination: Konstantinos Chachamopoulos! 

Congratulations to everyone who participated in putting both charity and fitness at the top of their priority lists - a winning combination I can tell you!
