Last Wednesday the 4th,the 5th and the 6th grades
of our school visited the Panathenaic Stadium (Kallimarmaro) and the
Fokianos Sports Centre.
Firstly,we went to the Fokianos Sports Centre where we
played football,basketball and volleyball.At 10:45 we left for the
Panathenaic Stadium.
When we arrived,we were given headphones and the tour
started.We were walking around the Stadium with a tour guide and we were
listening to the history of the Kallimarmaro from the headphones.The thing
that mostly impressed me was the huge colonnade under the
seats,which led to the dressing-rooms and the museum of the Stadium.
After the tour,Kids' Athletics programme started...All
the students were divided into six teams.Every team took part in
pole-jump,long jump,vortex throwing,discus throwing and two other relay-races
with hurdles.The teachers recorded points to see which team would win in
the end.It was exciting besause we learnt a lot about athletic events and we
also had great fun!
In the end all the students took
certificates,medals and gifts for their participation to the programme.
Finally,I believe that the Panathenaic
Stadium is a very special tour destination and it is truly worth
visiting.I also believe that it was a very beautiful experience and it
was one of my favourite school trips.
