In Poland, an extra chair is set at the Christmas table in case a stranger or the Holy Spirit arrives. In Russia, St. Nicholas was transformed into Grandfather Frost during communist rule.

1. The document describes a Halloween competition with 4 stages: a hangman game, Halloween trivia quiz, a mystery reading comprehension, and acting out a Friends Halloween scene.
2. In stage 3, teams read a mystery passage about 4 teenagers exploring an abandoned house where one is murdered, and must decide if the police have enough evidence to arrest the prime suspect.
3. The final stage has teams watch a Friends Halloween clip and prepare a similar dialogue to perform for judges. The team that wins the most rounds or is chosen by teachers wins the overall competition.
The document discusses several topics related to technology, education, the environment, sciences, space, work, school, entertainment, medicine, government, individuals, tourism, crime, human progress, and the future. It also mentions types of criminals and punishment, cloning, stem cell research, space exploration, computer chips, genetically modified crops, an aging population, artificial insemination, tolerance, population issues, causes of prejudice and discrimination, lifestyle choices, life changes, the media, and traditions versus globalization.
International Monument Day today was celebrated accordingly, since our older students created short presentations about all important Minoan exhibits of the Archaeological Museum in our town. We marvelled at how determining the Minoan civilisation has been, constituting the very first one in Europe and how multifaceted it was, concerning art, religion and societal structure. At the end of all presentations, students divided into groups in order to answer questions about the exhibits, as part of our final memory game. The fastest team to get most questions right as well as the most lively presenter were awarded with (eatable!) prizes and the fondest of memories. We all parted wishing to organise another such educational trip the soonest possible. Museum Mission: Accomplished! Well done to our wonderful teenage explorers.
All students must be quick to produce arguments regarding the topic on the screen in order to help their team win points. The topics vary from human cloning to fossil fuel combustion, which will result in a truly heated debate!
A reading competition was held where teams read and answered questions about Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Empty House. The Secret Agents from Greece and The Saint Expendables from Thierville scored the highest with 52/53 points. The Chicken Nuggets from Buvignier, Verdun scored 49 points, while The Crazy Artists from Ancemont scored 40 points.

Scrooge changed for the better after his ghostly encounters on Christmas Eve, becoming a generous friend and employer who cared deeply for Tiny Tim, who did not die as expected. Scrooge ignored those who laughed at his transformation and focused on the joy in his own heart from his change, brought on by the Christmas spirit. At the Cratchit family's Christmas dinner, Tiny Tim concluded their story by wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and God's blessing.

The giving tree loved a little boy and would let him play in her branches. As the boy grew older, he would ask the tree for things to help him in life like money to buy things, wood to build a house, and her trunk to build a boat. Though the tree had less and less to give each time, she was always happy to give what she could to help the boy. In the end, when the boy was old and tired, all the tree had left was an old stump, but she offered even that for the boy to rest on, still finding happiness in giving to him.

21. ΠΑΙΔΙ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΤΥΟ: ΚΙΝΔΥΝΟΙ 08/02/2010 Ιδιωτικότητα: Τα παιδιά μπορεί να εμπιστευτούν προσωπικές πληροφορίες Έκθεση σε ιούς και hackers Έκθεση σε ανάρμοστο υλικό: βία, πορνογραφία, εχθρότητα, διαφημίσεις Θύματα απάτης από απατεώνες Εθισμός στο διαδίκτυο: μειωμένη κοινωνικότητα Εμπλοκή σε παράνομες ενέργειες Κλοπή ταυτότητας 21
22. ΤΡΟΠΟΙ ΠΡOΣΤΑΣΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΑΙΔΙΟΥ 08/02/2010 Περάστε χρόνο με τα παιδιά σας online επισκεπτόμενοι αξιόλογες παιδαγωγικές σελίδες. Βοηθήστε στην αναζήτηση πληροφοριών. Ορίστε κανόνες σχετικά με τις σελίδες που επιτρέπεται η πλοήγηση (προσοχή στα chat rooms) Τοποθετήστε τον υπολογιστή σε πολυσύχναστο σημείο του σπιτιού. Μιλήστε στα παιδιά για τις δικές σας καλές και κακές εμπειρίες ΄σερφαρίσματος’. 22
23. ΤΡΟΠΟΙ ΠΡOΣΤΑΣΙΑΣ ΤΟΥ ΠΑΙΔΙΟΥ 08/02/2010 Εκπαιδεύστε τα να κλείνουν μια σελίδα μόλις γίνονται ανάρμοστες ερωτήσεις και να αντιμετωπίζουν προβλήματα. Πείτε ότι οι online πληροφορίες δεν είναι πάντα αξιόπιστες. Να συμπεριφέρονται όπως στο πραγματικό κόσμο αναμένοντας πιθανούς κινδύνους. Να αποφεύγουν ανεπιθύμητη αλληλογραφία. Οριοθετήστε οδηγίες και κανόνες. 23
24. ΓΟΝΕΙΣ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΤΥΟ 08/02/2010 Μάθετε να χειρίζεστε τον υπολογιστή, ακόμα και ως κοινή δραστηριότητα με το παιδί για πρόληψη και προστασία από κινδύνους. Μη ‘φορτώνετε’ τη χρήση του υπολογιστή με απαγορεύσεις. Επιτρέψτε την εξοικείωση και το παιχνίδι. Να θέτετε χρονικά όρια για πρόληψη προβλημάτων υγείας: οι ειδικοί συνιστούν 1 ώρα ημερησίως για παιδιά άνω των 8 ετών. 24
25. ΠΑΙΔΙ ΚΑΙ FACEBOOK Συχνά η κακή χρήση του Facebook ενισχύει την ωραιοπάθεια και τον ναρκισσισμό ενός παιδιού, ιδίως των εφήβων, παρόλο που ο σκοπός του διαδικτυακού αυτού του χώρου είναι η επικοινωνία. Ακόμη, τίθενται σε κίνδυνο προσωπικές πληροφορίες και φωτογραφίες. Αν αφήσετε το παιδί σας να είναι χρήστης του Facebook, πρέπει να είστε και οι ίδιοι χρήστες έτσι ώστε να ελέγχετε έμμεσα και διακριτικά. Το παιδί πρέπει να γνωρίζει εκ των προτέρων ότι υπάρχουν κάποια όρια στο τρόπο και χρόνο χρήσης του FB. Αν παρεκτραπεί θα πρέπει να διαγράφεται το προφίλ του από τους γονείς. 08/02/2010 25 Κέντρο Ξένων Γλωσσών Μαρία Μαρκάκη

27. Τελικά, το Διαδίκτυο είναι μια ευλογία στη ζωή μας.Εξελίσσει, μορφώνει και ενημερώνει μικρούς και μεγάλους. Η κακή του, όμως, χρήση το μετατρέπει σε εξαιρετικό κίνδυνο για όλους μας: για τα παιδιά που διαμορφώνουν το χαρακτήρα τους μέχρι τους ενήλικους και τη προσωπική τους ζωή. Επομένως, ας πούμε ΝΑΙ στη σωστή, ασφαλή χρήση του Διαδικτύου. Λέμε ΟΧΙ στις υπερβολές και την επιπολαιότητα. ΠΑΙΔΙ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΑΔΙΚΤΥΟ 08/02/2010 27 Κέντρο Ξένων Γλωσσών Μαρία Μαρκάκη
