Slogan

During their English class, students of the 4th-5th and 6th grade were taught about slogans. Each student had to select one of the 3 subjects of our project (Self Respect, Environment, Fellowship) and write a slogan about it in English. A team of teachers selected 5 slogans from each subject. An online voting poll was set for both the parents and the students to select one slogan from each category. The results were:

•    Save the planet, stay alive. (Elena Kyriacou, 6 Blue)
•    Love yourself (Mary Philippidou, 4 Blue)
•    Treat others like you want to be treated (Pantelides, 5 Green)

These 3 slogans will be printed on tshirts along with the other countries selected slogans. These tshirts will be used during activity events to spread the value of respect. All slogans will be part of Code of Respect for all 4 schools and will be posted on the school entrances.

The purpose of this activity was to help students understand the meaning of identity, self esteem and the importance of unity and respect towards other people.

Environment

·       6^th grade students studied the various dangers that the environment has to face while reading the poem “Dreamer” by Brian Moses. There was a discussion in the classroom about pollution, climate change, endangered species and deforestation. Students were asked to brainstorm ideas of how we can prevent the environmental destruction. Every classroom ended up with 3 practical suggestions that they could follow. By signing an improvised agreement all students committed to adopt and put into practice these suggestions throughout the year.
