Today at school we celebrated World Poetry Day our own way.
- In fourth grade we wrote biography poems, which we turned into posters. We also wrote our poems on leaf shaped pieces of paper in order to decorate our Poet Tree.
- Here is a sample biography poem. For obvious reasons I have removed the student's real name.
(Student's first name)

friend and brother of Chrissie
fan of Panathinaikos, Kobe Bryan
and Christiano Ronaldo,
and Christiano Ronaldo,
who feels happy, pain and hungry,
who fears killers, undertakers and spiders
who wants to see Christiano Ronaldo
resident of Koukaki, Athens

| Deciding what goes where. |
 |
| Decorating the tree. |

| Our Poet Tree in bloom! |
- 6th grade also contributed to our poetry tree with copies of poems we have written throughout the semester. You can have a look at their first poetry collection which was officially released today, in the photo gallery page. We invited all the other children to a special poetry video screening. In order to make the videos I used Power Point and then turned the presentations into wmv files. It is a time consuming process but it delivers great results.
