NEO RYSIO PRIMARY SCHOOL-SMELL AND ART

Neo Rysio Primary School- Olive tree-A trip through the senses.

It is autumn,traditionally the time for collecting olives.Looking back in time , the students had the chance to enjoy a fascinating trip in the world of the senses.They smelled , touched and tasted all the products originating from the olive tree.

The olive tree was a sacred tree and a ritual symbol in Ancient Greece.It symbolized peace , prosperity , resurrection and hope.

Students visited the fields , collected crops and finally experienced the miracle of the tranformation of olives in the miraculous virgin olive oil  in a production unit.

We wish the best for a rich harvest!!!

Neo Rysio Primary School -Opera at Thessaloniki Concert Hall

E class students visited  The Concert Hall  and attended the opera “The Barber of Seville” It was a play by Caron de Beaumarchais  who became famous when the Italian composer Gioachino Rossini chose to present it as an opera.

“The Barber of Seville” is not a fairy tale.It is a project that contains all the ingredients of a recipe for a perfect musical tale.  It is an interesting plot , full of magic ,realism and humour.The idea was to transform the opera in a play for children with songs inspired by the beautiful melodies of Rossini, so the  children are acquainted with sounds of classical music. Sounds so necessary for the cultivation of the musical sensor ”

 

The project is adapted with the utmost caution, keeping the more melodic parts of opera and converts arias and vocal ensembles,  creating a beautiful musical theatrical image. All these joined together with narrative, theatrical dialogues, dancing stage equipment and colourful costumes hold the interest of the children at its peak to the last moment.

We all had a wonderfull time and had the chance to explore our senses – hearing , seeing , touching ….. we even tasted the flavor of success at the end of the performance !!!
