Greece - day 1

  On the first day, our guests visited our school, to meet the Headmaster and our fellow-teachers and students. There, students took part in a workshop ,completing a questionnaire on healthy diet and exercise focusing on every-day habits. Then we had a short walk to the Town Hall, getting information about the history of the town and the main sights. At the Town Hall, we all met the Mayor, had a reception there with traditional dances, performed by our 6th grade students, guests were given gifts concerning the history of the district and then we made a presentation of the participants’s chools. Finally, we had a workshop on healthy food pyramid, along with a contest for the quickest team.
