St. Patrick's Day

   Today was a realy spesial day at our school. It was full of surprises and discoveries.

  Every my English lesson today was devoted to this special event - we had 10-15 minutes contests honored to this saint. The 9th formers have watched the short video about St. Patrick's Day facts with short discussion. In so called "Rainbow Races" both teams showed their knowladge about The Nothern Ireland and its traditions. The winner team got a special prize - Pot of Gold. 

 The students of the 4th grade could find out some interesting information about this holiday and watched the fairy-tale story "How to catch the Leprechaun".

The 5th formers could feel themselves as the best detectives and solved the mystery about Irish symbols.

The 6th grade students have watched the video about history of this holiday and discovered some new facts about the holiday. They also have taken part at St. Patrick's contest full of funny moments. Both teams have got an equal points. 

The students of the 2d and 3d grades have learnt the special St. Patrick's words and special facts, and also have watched a funny stories or songs with Leprechaun.

  Also specially for St. Patrick's Day I prepared for my students the QR-codes'  Video quest. I placed it in some places at the school so everybody could improve his or her IT skills.

 And of course the traditional contest: "Green Day" were organised too. Those who wore today something green could get a prize. Watch these photoes how it was. 

And at the end I wish you to be greeny today (not an anvious one) and, of course,

 Happy St. Patrick's Day for Everyone!

Taras Shevchenko - the Great Poet and the Soul of Nation.

This week in our school was devoted to the name of Taras Shevchenko. Some of my English lesson I also devoted to our Great Poet.

While we were studied the topic "Literature" we revised the writers of the Ukrainian literature too. So, on one of my lesson I tryed to organise the contest for the pupils of 8th grade about the life and the literary activity of our Great Poet. What has it been you can see here.

With pupils of the 6 th grade on the 10th of March we had an hour of speaking: "Kobzar in my life and the life of the country".

 Dring it we revise some facts about life of Taras Shevchenko and recite some of his well-known poems. I also used the method Infographic to present some unusual facts about the Great Poet. 

The pupils in groups learnt to use some books and internet resorses in a way to check are these facts true of false. They liked this type of work, and of course it helped them to train their skills in developing the critical thinking.
