2nd Primary School of Vrontados: excursion to the library of Chios city

With the 3rd class of the second primary school of Vrontados we made an amazing excursion to the library of Chios city.

We started with an own bus from the school and when we arrived in the library the educators, who spent the morning with us, expected us already. In the beginning they played some games to get to know each other and to ease the visit. Then they started to listen about the stories behind the drawings of the museum.

Firstly the children just observed the pictures and said what they could see. Then they played some games and danced dances from the period the pictures date. The educators made the visit really fascinating and fun for the children and like this the pictures could get alive for the children and they got a whole new view to this kind of visit.

They also made photos of the children in the mode the drawings were, therefore portraits with a huge frame. The children were really enjoying the trip and very happy about it.

In the end they designed their own family tree, as they learned about the genealogy of the family, which was drawn. They could also write a letter to one of the portrayed persons and tell them their opinion about their lives.

After the excursion the children had a small snack and we went back to the school with the bus.

All in all this excursion was really nice and interesting for us as for the children and we were happy to be able to join them!
