“Mission X: Train like an astronaut” | 8th Primary School of Thebes (Greece)

Students from 8th Primary School of Thebes (Greece) learn the key elements to keeping fit and staying healthy in space and on Earth with “Mission X: Train like an astronaut”, a free educational project for young people (up to 14 years old) by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the UK Space Agency (UKSA), facilitated nationally by the European Space Education Resource Offices (ESEROs) and volunteer National Organisers.

In this set of activities, students learn about the different components of plants. They learn which parts of well-known plants are edible and learn the difference between a vegetable, a fruit and a seed. The students imagine and draw the plant associated with the fruit/vegetable/seed they are observing. They also learn that different plants require different growth conditions and give different yields. Based on this they consider which plants are suitable for growing in space as a good source of nutrition for astronauts.

Schools and organisations mark the event every year with a European languages day to promote language learning and to celebrate the linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe. The European Day of Languages is celebrated annually on the 26th of September. Students from 8th Primary School of Thebes celebrated this big event. We explained the aims and history of the European Day of Languages and played fun quizzes on key information about the event, different languages, and flags. We talked about the importance of learning a foreign language. We learned about 'loanwords' which appear in different languages, and thought about ways to identify meaning. We decided to create  a lovely poster featuring the word 'talk to me!' written in a number of different European languages. We also created a video using Canva about the importance of learning foreign languages...
