Tomorrow is the 25th of March, and Greece will celebrate the Independence day (Ikost\u00ed-p\u00e9mpti Mart\u00edou) and also the Annunciation of Virgin Mary (Evangelism\u00f3s tis Theot\u00f3kou). So during this week, children from the 6th grade prepared a show about the Uprising against Turkey, which happened in 1821. They also trained for the parade of tomorrow : they walk all together at the same rhythm, which is quite difficult to do (I tried… ) !<\/p>\n
Today, they performed in the theater of the school, by saying texts and singing traditional songs, and of course, at the end, they sang the national hymn : \u038e\u03bc\u03bd\u03bf\u03c2 \u03b5\u03b9\u03c2 \u03c4\u03b7\u03bd \u0395\u03bb\u03b5\u03c5\u03b8\u03b5\u03c1\u03af\u03b1\u03bd. All the school was there to support them, as well as some parents and grand-parents.<\/p>\n
Then, most of the pupils went back home. The children from the 5th and 6th grades stayed at school for the walk in honor to the dead seamen : They brought the Greek flag to the sailor statue of Vrontados, where they laid a wreath of laurel, and, after a minute’s silence, they sang the national hymn again, with students from the other schools of Vrontados.<\/p>\n
