The students of grades 3-6 participated in the Interschool Volleyball Championship of our Municipality. The matches between public and private schools were friendly, emphasising joy, fun and the value of sports, as they should always be at these tender ages.
We are proud of the morals, maturity and solidarity of our students.
“Lady Macbeth’s dinner party”
An interactive play from the English Theatre Club at Des.
English Theater Club presented a hilarious interactive “Lady Macbeth’s Dinner Party” at Des. An actress who lives alone with her butler goes back to when she took on leading parts in Shakespeare’s plays. However, unexpectedly fiction will merge into reality…
“To be wind to the kite and kite to the wind, even when there is no sky. I don’t play with words. I’m talking about the movement one discovers within the Moment when one opens it and gives it duration.”
The last Sunday of the Carnival period is Cheesefare Sunday or Tyrofagos, as only dairy products can be consumed on this day. On this weekend preceding Clean Monday, carnival celebrations around Greece culminate with parades and masquerade parties that revive local traditional customs, as carnival in Greece is directly linked to each region’s cultural heritage.
Using the music of the body (body music, clapping) and the voice (singing, chanting), students learn traditional rhythms and experience the love-responsive participatory music found in West Africa.
In narrative form, myths and stories of African musical instruments and rhythms, how they were born and called when these rhythms are played, and their significance in African culture was told.

DES sixth-graders participated in activities included in lessons specially designed for the Erasmus Programme “We are ready for a digital world”.
Year 6 students met online in the first lesson with a group of high school students from Spain. They shared presentations with information about their countries, Greece and Spain, their cities, Athens and Huelva and also about their schools.
In the second lesson, the students interacted online with a group of fourth and fifth-graders from Lithuania. They introduced themselves orally and then created their online postcards with their avatars using digital applications. They also took part in a survey about internet and digital application use.
The students enjoyed this digital experience, an essential part of which was the interaction among students from different cultural backgrounds using various digital platforms and tools. The high level of student engagement in all activities indicates the student’s interest in using digital tools and highlights technology’s many benefits in our lives and the classroom.
Boxes of books and unlimited love were transported today by the DES Library Ministers to the children’s rights network library building. The people in charge welcomed us, showed us around the area and told us about the structure and operation of the library. We were intrigued by her books in Arabic, Farsi and other languages are spoken by the population groups that visit the library! As the people in charge explained, free employment programs exist for the children who visit the site. We talked about the importance of access to knowledge and books and the network’s new venture, the mobile library. DES participated for the seventh consecutive year in International Book Giving Day! The value of the offer is always priceless! Our joy and emotion are the same yearly, making our values stable!
Walt Disney said, “There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island”. February 14th is International Book Giving Day, which aims to provide books to as many kids as possible. Reading is fundamental, as it develops your brain, increases your vocabulary, enhances concentration, creativity, and imagination, develops basic language skills, and expands your world while providing entertainment. IDGD aims to give access to books and share the enthusiasm for reading. You can join the observance by donating books to an NGO, a local library or an association, as two-thirds of children do not have the chance to own a book.
From prehistoric construction to modern skyscrapers
Architecture Project at DES: The children experimented with clay, wood and cardboard to make their three-dimensional model.
Why we implement the architecture in DES Kindergarten children:
Encourages creativity and imagination: Architecture is a creative field that allows young students to think outside the box and imagine new possibilities.
Develops problem-solving skills: Architecture involves solving complex problems and finding creative solutions.
Enhances spatial awareness: Architecture requires a strong understanding of space in terms of design and functionality.
Fosters teamwork and collaboration: Architecture is a team-oriented field, and working on projects together can help kids learn how to collaborate and work effectively in groups.
Allowing students to explore and create their designs builds confidence and self-esteem.
Enhances STEM skills: Architecture is a field that requires a strong understanding of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) skills.
