Our stories in their initial paper and pencil form

The naughty dolphins

C1 class

2nd Primary School of Trilofos

It is summer time and in the Aegean a family of dolphins is swimming happily in the clear ,blue sea.Mum dolphin ,Dad dolphin and two little dolphins,Charlie and Marilyn.

Hey, little dolphins! Stay with us! Don't go away. You are too young to swim far from us.

In the sea there are many dangers.

We have to swim together .There are many people ,fishing boats and ships

Hey !Look what a nice cruise ship!Let's follow it.Come quickly.

We can hear music coming from the ship.Let's dance with them.People are waving at us .They love us.

Charlie,can you hear something strange?

I can hear the engines from the fishing boats,Marilyn.

No,I think it's a jet ski.Come on.Let's follow it.

Yes!Let's swim after it.We can overtake it.We have a great time together.Super!

But...it's time to go back.

Yes.But where are the others?Where are we ?Where is Mum and Dad?

I think we are lost !I don't know where we are.I can hear people's voices.They are too close.

Charlie I'm scared.I can't breath and I can't swim.What are we going to do?

We can call for help.Start calling loudly.Someone might hear us.

The little dolphins started calling out loudly. They were somewhere near a beach but they were unable to move back into deep water. They could hear people talking and laughing

Meanwhile,somewhere in the Atlantic, Coralie was at the headquarters of the Fantastic Blue. She was checking the seas all over the world. Suddenly,she heard the dolphins calling for help. She checked the radars and she saw them near a coast in Crete.

She dived into the sea and she transformed into a beautiful mermaid. She swam towards Crete.

At the same time Braiden was on holidays in Crete. When he got the message from Corallie, he took the Fantastic Blue's vehicle and drove to the beach to save the dolphins.

As soon as he got there ,he saw a lot of people trying to save the dolphins.They didn't know what to do. Braiden told them to catch the dolphins gently and pour water over them.

They pushed the dolphins back into the sea safely with the help of the people.

Don't be afraid.We will help you.Stay calm!

As Corallie was swimming towards Crete she found Misty and Ydor, Maximo and Jennifer,Bubbledrop and Shelly, Droper, SpongeBob, Aqualight and Aquaknight. Together they reached the beach to pull the dolphins back into the sea and help them swim again

Our heroes pulled the little dolphins into the sea and they helped them swim again.

Do you remember where is your family?

Yes!They are following a cruise ship.

I think I have seen it. It's not very far. Come quickly.

The dolphins found their family not far from Crete. They were all very worried. They thanked the Fantastic Blue and they continued to follow the cruise ship racing alongside and leaping into the air!

Few things in nature are more tragic than the sight of a pod of whales lying helpless and dying on the beach. Mass whale strandings occur in many parts of the world but we don't know why. Scientists are searching for the answer that will unlock the mystery. There are many theories about why whales and dolphins sometimes swim into shallow waters and end up stranding themselves on beaches all over the world. One of them is that something disrupts the whales' navigation system,causing them to lose their bearings,stray into shallow water and end up on the beach.

SAVING BABY SEA TURTLES

C2 Class

2nd Primary School of Τrilofos

It was a very hot and dry afternoon in Zakynthos. Braiden with his friends were going for a walk at the beach.

Braiden, look.Some tourists are at the beach down there1

What are they doing there?

They are opening their umbrellas and they are sunbathing.

Little children are making sand castles.They are playing beach volley,too.

But they can't swim on that beach. Turtles have laid their eggs there. Everybody knows it.

Quickly! Let's go there.

Braiden and his friends hurried to the beach.

We must help little turtles. We must take action and tell those people to leave from the beach.

But what can we do?

Let's call Corallie.Braiden, press the button on your magic watch.

Braiden went closer to the people at the beach.

What are you doing here? Don't you know that turtles lay their eggs here?

No,we didn't know that.We are very sorry. What can we do now?

Tourists left from the beach quickly and quietly.

Take everything from the sand. But be very careful.

O.K.We will pack our things. We will go to another beach.

Be quiet! I hear something strange.

Oh! No! The little turtles are breaking the shells of the eggs.

Hurry!Let's go to the nearest bar and tell them to turn off the music and the lights.We shouldn't scare the turtles .They have to find their way to the sea safely.

The baby turtles were breaking the shells. As soon as they were out of the eggs hundreds of turtles started running to the sea.. High above the sky seagulls were flying ready to catch them. Many of the babies lost their way and went back to the land.

Corallie and Shelly were already in the sea. They were shouting to the baby turtles.

Come quickly!Get into the sea and swim.

Corallie and Shelly helped all the turtles get into the sea and swim along with other fish. They took them into a place to grow up safely.

You are safe here!Be careful of the big fish,the crabs and the fishermen.Sometimes people throw plastic in the sea Don't eat it.We will meet again soon

They were all very happy. People promised to help not only the turtles but all the animals that live in the sea.They also promised not to throw plastic into the sea and try to keep it clean.

The Caretta caretta sea turtle is a type of a turtle that lives in the sea.The loggerhead sea turtle is found in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, as well as the Mediterranean Sea.Most of the beaches where they lay eggs are found on the coasts of Greece. Baby turtles come out of the eggs at night, so that other animals like crabs or seagulls do not eat them. They follow the morning light to the sea. They swim to parts of the sea that have sea weed to hide from other animals while they grow.

The water through children's eyes

A LAKE IN DANGER

6TH GRADE

PRIMARY SCHOOL OF GALATISTA

There is a small beautiful village in Halkidiki.Not far from the village there is a lake.In this lake live trouts,ducks and many others creatures.All around the lake you can see tall trees that form a small forest.In this forest big and small animals have their nests and find food and water.

But during the last months the lake is in great danger.It hasn't rained for a long time and the water isn't enough for the animals and for the people who use it because farmers around the lake use the water to irrigate their corps.

Because of the drought the villagers informed the local media and told everyone that the lake is in danger.

There is still life in the lake.

Help us.

Our lake is in danger!

Our two friends Maximo and Jennifer are on a Greek island. They both love environment and as soon as they heard the news from the lake they decided to help with their super magic powers.

Maximo there is a problem somewhere in Greece. Look at my necklace. It is red!

You are right. It is in Halkidiki!

Let's ride our boards and activate our capes. Hurry!let's go!

They came to the village very quickly. The villagers were at the square discussing their problem when they saw Jennifer and Maximo.

Good morning! What exactly is happening here?

Tell us what is going on. We want to help you.

People use the water for irrigation, too.

It's true that we use a lot of water for our farms. Now the lake is smaller. What are we going to do?

As you can see there is no water in the lake. The lake is getting drier. Fish and animals are in danger!

We will help you. Don't worry!

We will think of something.Go back to your houses.

We are desperate. The lake is everything for us! Moreover tourists are coming to visit the lake and they pollute the environment, too. They throw rubbish all around.
