Today I visited Vergina in Macedonia, Greece! I saw the magnificent Royal Tombs where the ancient Greek Kings were buried.

The tombs were hidden inside a very big hill called a Tumulus, which looked like a giant mound of earth. Inside this hill-museum, I found a real treasure: the Golden Larnax! It is a beautiful gold chest decorated with the Star of Vergina, the symbol of King Philip and his son, Alexander the Great.

Everything was so shiny and full of history. Macedonia is a very special part of Greece, and I felt like a true explorer discovering the treasures of the Greeks!

Paddington arrived in Spain on a small train that travelled along the coast to Cádiz. When he got off the train, he smelled the salty sea air and heard seagulls flying above the harbour.

“What a cheerful place!” he said. He walked through the narrow white streets of the old town, where colourful flowerpots decorated the balconies.

A kind woman invited Paddington to taste some churros with hot chocolate. The little bear smiled happily because they reminded him a little of his favourite marmalade. 

Later, he visited La Caleta beach. There, he built a sandcastle and watched an orange and golden sunset over the Atlantic Ocean.

Paddington waved goodbye with his paw, and continued his adventure to a new country.

13 Kindergarten of Serres, Zoi Mikropoulou 

  Today I visited the city of Serres, and guess what... the temperature has already risen so much!! That’s why my little friends from the 13th Kindergarten of Serres suggested we go for a walk in the city’s valley! What a wonderful idea! Trees all around, a river flowing, calm, nature, and of course... coolness!!! 

During our walk, my little friends told me that the Valley of Agioi Anargyroi, also known as the “jewel” of Serres, is a lush green oasis just 3 km from the city center, offering a combination of natural beauty, sports facilities, and recreation. It features streams, plane trees, a central artificial lake, and picturesque trails, making it an ideal destination for hiking, relaxation, and fun. The area also features sports facilities such as an indoor gym, outdoor basketball and tennis courts, as well as a bike path. Finally, there are scattered picnic shelters, playgrounds, as well as cafes and restaurants at the entrance to the valley. 

Access is easy on foot or by car. The area is ideal for families, athletes, and visitors seeking coolness and tranquility. 

The beauty of the landscape and the fresh air gave me the energy I needed to continue my journey... to the next destination! Goodbye, my friends!

I would like to share a wonderful adventure from my visit to Thessaloniki, Greece!

Together with the children and teachers of the 6th Kindergarten, we explored the beautiful Thessaloniki Metro. The children were very excited as we traveled underground, discovering a modern way to move around the city while also learning about its rich history.

Our favorite stop was Venizelou Station. We spent a long time there because it is a very special place where history meets modern life. The children admired the ancient ruins and archaeological findings that were discovered during the construction of the metro. We talked aboutlife in ancient Thessaloniki, the old streets, markets, and monuments that people used many centuries ago.

We all had a fantastic time together!.

Today I visited a very special place in Türkiye: Cappadocia!
Early in the morning, I looked up at the sky and saw colorful hot air balloons. They looked like they were dancing among the clouds. I waved at them excitedly. The sky was blue, and the balloons were pink, purple, green, and blue. I felt like I was inside a fairy tale.

While walking around Cappadocia, I saw very interesting rock formations. My Turkish friends told me they are called “fairy chimneys.” Wind and rain shaped these rocks over many years. Some looked like hats, and some looked like mushrooms. People even built homes inside these rocks long ago!

Then I saw small caves and stone rooms. I learned that people in Cappadocia used to live there in the past. They built kitchens, rooms, and even churches inside the rocks. I was very surprised because it was the first time I had ever seen a house inside a rock.

My favorite part was the hot air balloons. As the balloons rose into the sky, I could see the beauty of Cappadocia from above. The valleys, rocks, and little houses looked like toys. At that moment, I waved my red hat and shouted, “Hello, Cappadocia!”

My Turkish friends told me that Cappadocia is one of the most special places in the world. I think they are right because nature, history, and fairy tales all come together here.

Today, I made wonderful memories in Cappadocia. I will continue my journey with a suitcase full of happiness and a little bit of Cappadocia’s magical spirit.

Kindergarten nr 12, Bistrita, Romania. Moldovan Alina

Today Paddington visited Bistrița, Romania, and had a wonderful adventure with the kindergarten children!

First, Paddington went to the kindergarten, where the children welcomed him with big smiles, hugs, and beautiful butterfly drawings. Everyone was very excited to meet the friendly little bear in his blue coat and red hat.

Then, together, they traveled around the city by bus. Paddington loved looking out the window and discovering the streets, buildings, and special places of Bistrița. The children happily showed him their city and felt like little tour guides.  After exploring the city, the group stopped at a cozy confectionery. There, Paddington and the children enjoyed delicious cake and sweet treats together. The little bear was especially happy because he loves tasty desserts almost as much as marmalade sandwiches! It was a joyful day full of laughter, friendship, and adventure. 

Paddington will always remember his beautiful visit to Bistrița and the wonderful time spent with the children!

Kindergarten nr 12, Bistrita, Romania, Middle Group ,preschool teacher Oana Lungu

        The children of the middle group from Grădinița cu Program Prelungit Nr. 12 in Bistrita had a special day with Paddington.

        Durring their visit to Peles Castle in Sinaia, the little ones learned interesting things about the castle and about life in the past. They walked through the beautiful halls, listened to stories and enjoyed this adventure together.   

         Paddington was very happy to accompany them and take pictures with all the children. It was a trip full of smiles, curiosity and good cheer!

Today we visited Dino Park. 

Preschoolers have always been curious about what life-size dinosaurs look like.

A Visit to the Park of Birds of Prey and Nocturnal Birds

Hello! I am Paddington Bear.I visited the Park of Birds of Prey and Nocturnal Birds with the 2nd Grade, primary school of Mavrothalassa.

We saw eagles, falcons, and owls. The children and I learned many interesting things about these amazing birds. We discovered that eagles have excellent eyesight and that owls are active at night.

It was a fun and educational trip, and we all had a wonderful time together!

I took photos with the children, we walked around the park, and we talked about our favorite birds.

 At the end of the visit, we all agreed that it was a special experience full of knowledge, joy, and beautiful memories.
