Winter Holidays! Everybody knows that it is not a secret

that winter is the most favourite season of

pupils as they have their winter holidays

and can rest from school.

Winter is the time of wonders!

Firstly, we decorate our houses and New

Year’s trees and we feel exciting atmos-

phere around us as all the stores and cafes

outside start hanging festive decorations

on doors and windows. It elevates our

mood and makes us really happy.

Secondly, we celebrate the New year’s

Eve and Christmas. We are waiting for

our Father Frost with lots of presents and

miracles.

Thirdly, we like the moment on the 31st

of December when the clocks strike 12

am and all the family gathers together

around the dining table. Then we share

delicious meal and drinks. There is also

some time for winter activities as we like

them very much!

My name is Kate. I am

in the 4th form. I like

winter and winter holi-

days best of all. On my

holidays I did a lot of

things. I went to the New

Year performance and got

a nice present.

I went to visit my granny.

She is very hospitable and

she is a good cook. When I

come to her she always

cooks a lot of delicious dish-

es. My granny, my brother

and I went to the skating

rink. We had a great time

My Long-waiting Holidays! My name is Daniil. I

study in the 4th form. I

want to say that winter is

one of my favourite sea-

sons. When I can do what I

want. I usually spend win-

ter holidays with my fami-

ly: my mother, my father

and my elder brother.

On my winter holidays I

went to the circus with

my family. I saw a lot of

different animals, clowns,

jugglers, acrobats. I lis-

tened to nice music and

took many pictures. I had

really fun as all my family

gathered together!

Sklyar D., 4th form We know that pupils of

our primary school are

very active especially dur-

ing winter holidays. They

are very curious as they

want to know everything.

The pupils of the 1b

form went to the Darwin

Museum with their teach-

er.

They saw big collections

of exhibits and learnt about

the history of the theory of

evolution. All pupils were

impressed but very tired as

the territory of the museum

is large enough. They liked

the excursion very much. It

was a good beginning of

winter holidays!

there. Also we went skiing,

to the cinema and shopping.

In the evening I helped my

granny. In general I want to

say that I spent my holidays

unforgettable. I liked them!!!

My name is Ekaterina and I can call

my holidays - “Cinema Holidays” as I

read a lot , learned History, watched

different films with my mother. I want

to say that we have seen a lot of good

films.

My holidays started with a Christ-

mas episode of Sherlock which was

called “The abominable bride”. It was

fantastic as usual. Then we watch films

with James Bond, some episodes from

“Star Wars”. Of course, we went to the

cinema and watch “Mafia– the game of

survival” . The trailer of the film was

excellent but the plot of the film had

nothing to do. It’s a pity as the worst

film I have ever seen in my life. There

was neither acting nor plot, nothing!

In general I liked my winter holi-

days! Belikova E., 10th form

Don’t be indifferent!

We decided to help

homeless animals as they

live in the shelter. We

know that they need our

care, love and attention.

The pupils of our school

brought what they wanted.

Some of them brought old

clothes, the others forage

for animals, bowls and

even toys. Everyone

wanted to make a contri-

bution to the common

cause. The purpose of

this action was to show

compassion to the prob-

lem and do a good deed

for the shelter. If animals

can talk they would say

“Thank you”!

Lugansk - our new friends!

We had a great event at our school as

we were twinned with school № 60 from

Lugansk. We were looking forward to

this meeting as we didn’t know anything

about them but we were eager to be ac-

quainted with them. They turned out to

be very sociable, friendly and attentive.

We started our meeting in the Assembly

hall where we introduced our school. Our

guests listened to us very attentively.

Our new friends came to us with a real sur-

prise. Two girls performed an acrobatic dance

and we watched with pleasure.

Our school community and the representa-

tives of gymnasium №60 decided to develop

our relations in the following directions:

exchanging school newspapers, radio re-

leases and etc.

building relationships between the school

museums;

participation in the webinars;

the establishment of doing our joint

projects.

Unfortunately, the time was not enough

to communicate with our new comrades.

But they showed us their video about their

school, peaceful Lugansk and, of course,

about the war which claimed the lives of

hundreds of people. After that we signed the

contract and this moment was very official.

We continued our meeting in our school

patriotic museum. Our friends were im-

pressed by our museum. They presented us

with the book of poems of their pupils and

we gave them the symbol of our school - an

owl made by Maria Khokhlova. They invited

us to their school. We hope for our fruitful

cooperation! Belikova E., 10th form
