This Year is coming to the end and it's time to slow down and to reflect. Of course it was a little bit hard half of a school year. There were some problems to solve and some moments to joy. And we done with all its challenges with a strong will and patience. I hope the next 2026 year will bring us hope and believing in a good future for our children and us, ukrainians.

A teacher is a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for himself.
The End of the 2025 Year.
Our December.
The most favourite holiday for all children at this time - St.Nicholas Day. We celebrated it on the 6th of December. Of course we organised a special holiday for our children - a festive all-school Quest. My students also took part in it. They did all the tasks so quickly. So I was really surprised.
On my English station they could find the main difference between Santa Claus facts and St. Nicholas life facts. They find the hiding words of the favourite song about St.Nicholas. After that they could listen this song in English. And they also decoded the secret message. After all these tasks were done succesfully the team could get some special puzzle. And finaly, they got all puzzles together and could get some sweet prizes. It was really fun for them.
At the End of December I organized aspecial New Year Quest for my students with special prizes. Everyone has done tasks at 4 stations. These were tasks about Christmas trees all around Ukraine, how do they look like in different cities of our country. They found out some funny New Year traditions all around the world. Also they solved the winter riddles and found out funny names of St. Nicholas in different countries. The most interesting for them was the last station "Lucky wheel". Everyone could get some small prizes.
Also we had a special event at the library on this day. Everyone, who have read some book, could tookpart at the funny lotery. So, a lot of children from the different classes of our school could get some funny prizes and special tickets with "bonuses" in next year. My students also got some of them.
Olympiad Autumn 25-26
During the November some of my pupils decided to take part at All-Ukrainian online Olympiad from English.
These were 4 pupils from the 5th Grade (three pupils got the diploma of the first degree, and one pupil got the Diplomas of the second degree) and two pupils from the 8th Grade (one pupil got the Diploma of the second degree).
I am so proud of you, my dears! Congratulations!
The week of English
During this week we tryed to remember some facts about favourite children`s holiday - Halloween.
So I organized some competitions, quest, show of talents in different classes.
Let's start from the 3d form. We had competition: "What is Halloween?" Two teams fight for the prize. During this competition they revised some Halloween creatures, tryed to "clean" the house from the noisy ghosts, helped Winnie with Wilbur to prepare for family coming and "cleaned" her room, and of course we decorated the witch`s house with special "decorations". Everything was ready for family meating in the best way. So, the both teams get the nice prizes from Winnie for their work.
In the 4th form we transformed into the Ghost hunters and tryed to help the city to stay safe from different creatures. We "went" around the town to find the ghosts, we got some calls from the citizents where the dangerous creatures may be. Also we visited some haunted houses and "cleaned" them from the monsters. And the last adventure waited for us in the city park - where we caught some funny ghosts. Of course the autorities of the city were grateful for our great job, and they honorably presented our teams the best rewards - "Key from the city". As both team get the equal points, they also got this prestigeous rewards. The friendship always wins.
In the 5th form we had i show of talents: "Winnie-the-Witch goes to a party". Partisipants needed to get to the witches party, and did all the tasks to show their best talants in different spheres. So we created three witches` teams. Every team prepared the best outlook for their participant, meet with scary judges, and did three tasks to show their creativity, magical powers, and the abilyty to create the most funny and also spooky stories. And every team showed their best results. So, all partisipants of this talant show got thier awards. Well done, my dear.
And the most unusual was the Quest about Ukrainian Myphycal Creatures in the 6th form: "How the Cossacks...". As the background I took one of the series of the favourite ukrainian cartoon with the same name. Of course I extended the story in my own way. So two teams needed to save the brave cossack Tur from the evil spirits of Ukrainian folklore. The both teams traveled with help of their maps. On their way they met bad and good creatures of the village and homes, midnight creatures and even the forest spirits. And also we could revise and get an extra points for the titles of those books, and names of their ukrainian authours, where these creatures were described. The team of the cossack Grai made it with better result, so they got the honorable Cossack`s Gramota from the Hetman of Zaporizhzhia Sich.
Learning
During the period of 30.09 till 04.10 I took part at courses. They were conducted by the Rivne Regional Institute of Postgraduate Pedagogical Education.
These courses were interesting and I could refresh some knowledges from disfferent topics.The most exciting and useful was the using IT in work of teacher and talk with the psychologist about work with teenagers and about burning out in our profession and some nice advices on this topic.
I hope everyone was able to take something useful from these courses.
