In this issue we decided to publish all our work that

has to do with ART as a means of expression. So, you
will read about the films we watched, the songs we
sang, the paintings we produced, the stories and the
poems we wrote and generally what made us have fun
and express our artistic feelings in English.

Once more, I would like to congratulate on and thank

all of my students for their enthusiasm, their ideas and
all the great moments we spent together.

Have a wonderful summer!!!!

FILMS
I think the story was beautiful
but sad. Many people were
crying during the film. I would
like to have a dog like Hachi.
Hachi was loyal to his owner and
he was the star of the movie. He
was an Akita. Mr Parker found
him in a train station. The story
happened in 1923. What
impressed me most was that the
film was based on a true story.

PHILIP , 6TH GRADE

Yesterday we saw a film. Its

title was Hachiko. In the
beginning Parker Wilson
finds a puppy and he takes it
home. When Parker goes to
the train station to leave for
work, Hachi escorts him.
When the train is back, the

The film was great and so

interesting. The dog starring in
the film was an Akita. When it
was a puppy it was very sweet.
I cried at the end when Parker
and Hachi met again after
Hachis death. I would love to
have a dog like that.

dog is waiting for his

master. That happens every
day. But one day, Parker
didnt come back. Hachi was
waiting for him for 9 years.
I liked the dog and his
cleverness. Gere is a good
actor. I suggest this film to
everybody.
FABIO, 6TH GRADE

ASIMINA , 6TH GRADE

I liked the film very much. It was

funny when Parker played with the
dog and his wife didnt want to keep
him. It was a very good film.
ALEXIA, 6TH GRADE

Yesterday we watched a
movie with my English
teacher, Ms Vasso. The title
was Hachiko. It was perfect
and I was very moved.
Hachiko is an Akita and I
would like to have a dog like
that. I was very sad when

The movie was very touching.

The most touching moment
was when Parker died and
Hachi returned to the train
station every day. Hachi was a
very beautiful dog. The movie
was nice and I would like to
see a second movie like that.
EVAGGELIA, 6TH GRADE

Mr Parker died. Hachiko is

my favourite hero and when
I get a dog I want him to be
like Hachi.
CHRYSSI, 6TH GRADE

The film was great. What

impressed me most was the dog
starring. If I had a dog, I would
like it to be like Hachi. The film
was so moving and I want to
watch it again.
SYLVANA, 6TH GRADE

Yesterday we watched a movie

about a dog with Ms Vasso. It
was a very touching film. I liked
the movie not for the touching
moments but mostly for the dogs
loyalty and the kindness of this
man.

DONT LAUGH AT ME (MARK WILLIS)

I'm a little with glasses
The one they call a geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I have braces on my

I'm that kid on playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Trying to overcome my past
You don't have to be my
But is it too much to ask?
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

The words you will need:

I'm the beggar on the corner

You've passed me on the
And I wouldn't be out here begging
If I had enough to
And don't think I don't notice
That our eyes never meet
Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me (https://youtube/sJo366t1Du4)

SCHOOL IS FUN!

OUR SHORT STORY

LUCKY TO FIND EACH OTHER

Once upon a time there was a boy called Nathan.
Nathans family had financial problems and they
decided to move to their village to have a better life.
At first, Nathan didnt like it. He missed his friends
and everything was wrong. Little by little, he thought
that he should make an effort to change and discover
the beauties of the village. So, he decided to go for
walks to explore the nature nearby.
One evening, while he was walking in the forest, he saw
something under some leaves. It was a little dog. It
was dirty but it looked so cute. It seemed hungry and
in need of help. When the little dog saw Nathan, it
tried to stand up but it fell immediately. Nathan
understood that there was a problem. The little dogs
leg was broken and it really hurt. That moment Nathan
realized that this dog would be his friend forever.
A few years ago, while Nathan was riding his bike, a car
came very fast and hit the little boy. The accident was
very serious and Nathan was in great danger. He went
to the hospital and the doctors decided that either his
leg should be cut off or Nathan would die. His parents
didnt want to lose their son so there was no option.
The boys leg was cut off. Nathan had a lot of difficult

moments but he finally got better with a new

prosthetic leg.
Seeing the wounded dog, Nathan thought of his own
adventure and he was touched. He almost burst into
tears. He immediately knew that he had to save the
little dog. He carried it all the way back home and
when he got to his parents, they drove to the nearest
veterinary clinic. The dogs leg could not be healed.
The bones were smashed and it needed an operation.
The family didnt have enough money, though. They
couldnt afford it after spending so much money on
Nathans health. Something had to be done.
The little boy could not find peace. He could not leave
his new friend without help. And then he came up with
an idea. He posted a letter on his blog explaining the
situation and the miracle happened. A lot of people
read the post and decided to give enough money for
the little dogs operation and treatment.
After a few months, with the love of Nathan and his
family, the dog managed to be well and healthy and
could walk around without serious problems. Nathan
thought that the most suitable name for his dog was
Lucky as it was lucky to be found and saved.
Nathan and Lucky lived happily together for many
years and they became best friends forever.

A family of mice were surprised by a big cat. Father

Mouse jumped and and said, "Bow-wow!" The cat ran
away. "What was that, Father?" asked Baby Mouse.
"Well, son, that's why it's important to learn a second
language."

Patient: Doctor! You've got to help me! Nobody ever

listens to me. No one ever pays any attention to what I
have to say.
Doctor: Next please!
