A cross-curricular approach in the Mathematics and Philanagnosi Clubs

A cross-curricular approach in the Mathematics and Philanagnosi (Literature) Clubs
The Erasmus activities still go on to serve Goal 4: “Quality Education”, reminding us of the actions during the 1st Mobility in Ioannina, Greece, that had to do with the use of Mathematics.
The Greek Minister of Education proclaims 2018 as the "Year of Mathematics", because it includes, among other things, the commemoration of two world stables, due to Greek mathematicians of antiquity. In particular, this is the number π = 3.14159265 (Archimedes), the day of which is celebrated on March 14 (3.14), and the φ = 1,618 ... 1 ("golden ratio" - Theanos), the day of which is specially celebrated this year June 1st (1.6.18).
In this context, on Friday March 2nd, the Mathematics and Filanagnosis Groups programmed a cross-thematic action with relevant presentations (Pythagoras Cup - meaning of the measure), as well as the projection of the film "Agora" (Hypatia), referring to life of the famous mathematician and the turbulent era she lived (4th century A.D.), when the destruction of the Library of Alexandria occurred.
During the action, the pupils gained valuable knowledge and enjoyed the combined experience of the two cognitive subjects, mainly in terms of "measure" and "golden ratio" both in mathematics and art, and in their lives in general.

Teachers of the Clubs: Maria Papageorgiou - Eleni Zikou

SPORT AND HEALTHY DIET IN TEENAGERS

Students of grade 9th of Secondary have made a PERSONAL WEEKLY DIET SURVEY, following the theoretical and practical explanations of the physical education teacher.
During a whole week they have taken note of all foods they have eaten, and they've made a table classifying food according to the Food Wheel

They have calculated the intakes from their REAL DIET and from their IDEAL DIET.

They compare both, following the Food Wheel recommendations, in order to know if they have a balanced and healthy diet.

The conclusions helps each student to make the necessary changes in order to be sure that his food intake is correct and healthy.
Here's an example.

International Women's Day

The 8th March was the International Women's Day. In Spain this day there was a women's strike that was a big success.
The day before, our school did different workshops and activities to Work on Goal 5 "Gender equality and women's empowerment":
- Workshops about domestic tasks, micromachisms, distinguished women, women around the World, discern who is, superheroines, day by day. These workshops were prepared by the pupils of Grade 9th and 10 th for the Grades 8th and 9th.
-Conference by the grandmothers and the mothers of our students where they explained how they have lived/suffered the machism in their lives.
- Contest of microstories related with Goal 5.
- Exhibitions in the hall: women in maths, women in the past Greece, women and arts, women near us.
- Perfomance about objectification of the women

VISITE DE L’EXPOSITION DE MANOLO VALDÉS ET LE CENTRE DE VALENCE

La visite a été faite à la Fondation Bancaja situé dans la rue General Tovar, Valence. Ce travail social de Bancaja favorise et développe des actions visant à faciliter l'avancement et l'amélioration de la société dans un environnement d'égalité des opportunités. Dans cette visite, nous avons expliqué qui était Manolo Valdés, c'est un peintre espagnol qui a introduit en Espagne une nouvelle expression artistique qui combine l'engagement politique et social à l'humour et l'ironie. Manolo à côté de Rafael Solbes et Juan Antonio Toledo a créé Equipo Cronica. Les objectifs de cette équipe sont les suivants :
• Faire connaître le travail du Equipo Cronica.
• Réfléchir sur le rôle de l'Art en tant que la dénonciation de la réalité sociale.
• Faire connaître d’autres peintres espagnols.
• Développer la capacité d'interprétation des images plastiques.
• Développer la capacité d'argumentation.
La différence entre les œuvres de Manolo Valdés et l’Equipo Cronica sont :
Quand il était en l’Equipe Chronique ses œuvres étaient revendicatives et il dénonçait aussi la répression et le manque de liberté que les Espagnols ont souffert pendant la dictature de Franco. Actuellement il fait une simple interprétation des œuvres artistiques qui représenté, sans qu'il n’y ait pas de motivation politique
Le travail que j'ai le plus aimé est ''le Matisse comme prétexte'' parce qu'il montre ses compétences en tant qu'artiste et sculpteur.
Après nous avons fait un tour au centre de Valence et nous avons visité ‘La Plaza Redonda’ où il y a une source, le Marché central où il y a un grand dôme et le Marché de Mossen Sorrell.
La visite a été très amusante et dynamique et je pense que c’est très bien ce que fait Bancaja.

"Get where you can not": a theatrical performance

The Erasmus students of our school had the opportunity to enjoy the theatrical performance based on the work of the world-famous Greek author Nikos Kazantzakis, entitled "Get where you can not". His work is devoted to the humanitarian values of equality, freedom, justice and peace. Therefore, through the sophisticated text and the imaginative scene performance, as well as the interactive action between us and the actors, we implemented Goal 4: Quality Education and Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.

“Green” Schoolyard

The Erasmus+ students planted trees and flowers in the courtyard of our school. Considering that it is both aesthetically and functionally important for schools to have "green" yards, the students were willing to participate in this environmental action, according to Goals 4 "Quality Education" and 15 "Life on Land" of Agenda 2030. Thus, they took advantage of the outdoor schooling as a teaching tool for eco-consciousness, while taking responsibility for improving the appearance of the area that makes school more attractive to students, teachers, parents and the wider community.
