Easter Celebratrions at St Lukes School - England

Our School St Lukes - England

Girls from Italy

Three of our girls decided to introduce themselves and our school with a short video. We are not very good at ICT yet, but we are working on it!

Although Greek Easter is over, it’s not too late to present you the traditional Easter bread, called “tsoureki”. This delicious sweet bread is topped with almonds or sesame seeds, and usually includes a traditional red egg.
In Greece we always serve tsoureki with the Easter meal, but all the children try it with their cup of milk in breakfast. Its ingredients are: flour, yeast, butter, sugar, eggs, mahlepi (spice) or mastic, milk, sesame seeds or sliced almonds, hard boiled dyed red eggs.This bread is traditionally prepared with an essence drawn from the seeds of a Mediterranean spice, called mahlepi, which makes the kitchen smell delicious. Sometimes tsoureki is used as gifts for special occasion, for instance, it can be given as an Easter gift. Written by Teo, A3 class

Howto ... make sandwiches

Here's a sort of instruction-movie how our students have to make sandwiches.
They make these sandwiches every day and we try to let as many students as possible make them.
So, all of them have to follow the instructions on the movie.

This video is about year 1 showing me their Easter biscuits. They made some cool shortbread in the shape of an egg then decorated them with lots of different coloured icing. It was really yummy!! Year 1 work with year 2 in the afternoons doing lots of different fun activities like this one as part of the foundation phase teaching in our school.

Sometimes we come here to do art, or just look at how the flowers change. My friends Caitlin, Lauren and Fianna stared in this video. Can you see the labyrynth it's really cool.

Parents cook for us...

Last Friday I had a Parents meeting to talk about students evaluation and behaviour, since the class involve in this project is from a special education, like a vocational course for student with 15 to 17 years old.

I ask the collaboration of a mother to cook the typical Easter cake in Portugal, at the begging she was a bit surprise because we past Easter, but them she told me she will try to do it. So, this morning my student bring the cake and we eat it ;-) (it was very good) and my student make the photos and will produce the movie next Wednesday!!

I was very happy with the parents collaboration for the project! And of course we have the parent permission to publish students work!

Cyprus Easter
Koulouria and Flaounes



Flaounes are the traditional Easter cheese breads we make in Cyprus. Traditionally they are made on Good Thursday and it's not an easy job. The preparations usually start from the previous day .

These cheese breads are made with a very flavorful bread dough and filled with a cheese called "Pafitiko" made during the Easter period for flaounes. However, this can be substituted by a mixture of other Cypriot cheeses such as halloumi or kaskavalli or the Greek cheeses ladotyri Mytilinis, graviera, kefalograviera and some kefalotyri. Kefalotyri is usually very salty, so don't add too much. We usually make more dough than necessary to make some koulouria, which is a very aromatic bread. In many parts of Cyprus they prefer to make them sweet by adding sugar and raisins, which is an excellent combination of salty and sweet.

Greek Easter wishes
Happy Easter * Kaló Páscha
Happy Easter * Kalí Anastási
Christ is risen Christós Anésti
Truly he is risen Alithós Anésti
Easter Wishes Chroniá Pollá
Pascha is the period before Easter Sunday, so you wish "Kalo Pascha" then, especially when the Holy Week starts. You wish "Kali Anastasi" when Easter Sunday is very close, especially after Holy Thursday and Friday. And of course you wish "Christos Anesti" on Easter Sunday when Christ is already risen.
