European Day of Languages: Traveling Across Europe Together!

Vlad — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 12:44:51 +0000

Every year on September 26, we celebrate the European Day of Languages—an occasion that reminds us of the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe. On this day, our school’s students embarked on an exciting linguistic journey across European countries to learn, play, communicate, and discover new languages! Second-grade students explored the flags of European nations, learned how to say “Hello” in various languages, and practiced these greetings while working on themed colouring sheets. Classes 3-A and 3-B took part in the “European Language Quest.” Using flags, emojis, and teamwork, the children identified European countries and learned about their traditions and cultural symbols. Students from class 8-I tested their knowledge during the “Connaissez-vous la France?” quiz. Engaging interactive tasks helped them recall French vocabulary while immersing themselves in the world of French history, architecture, and art. Class 5-I participated in the “Guess the Language” event, where students identified European languages by sound, recalled greetings in different languages, recognized national flags, and competed in a quiz. All these activities were united by a shared idea: language is the key to understanding people, cultures, and traditions. By learning foreign languages, we discover new countries, make friends, broaden our horizons, and draw closer to the European community.
Learning languages is interesting! Discovering Europe is exciting! To communicate is to open up the world!
We thank the students and teachers for their enthusiasm, creativity, and wonderful spirit!

Peace Day: Let Peace Begin with Each of Us

Vlad — Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:30:36 +0000

On September 21, Ukraine and the world observe the International Day of Peace—a day that reminds us of humanity’s most cherished aspiration: to live without war, violence, or fear.
The history of this day is linked to the United Nations. The UN established the Day of Peace in 1981; initially, it had no fixed date and coincided with the opening of the annual General Assembly session. In 2001, September 21 was designated as the official date of observance, and nations were called upon to cease fire and violence on this day.
Ukraine has officially observed the Day of Peace since 2002.
One of the symbols of this day is the Peace Bell, located near the UN headquarters in New York. It was crafted from coins and medals sent by people from over 60 countries. The bell was presented to the UN by the United Nations Association of Japan in 1954.
Traditionally, our school hosted a series of thematic events to mark the occasion. An educational video was shown in the foyer, while classrooms held informational and educational sessions where students discussed the importance of peace, friendship, mutual respect, and mutual assistance.
Students from class 2-V participated in an educational session dedicated to the Day of Peace. The children watched an informative presentation, discussed real-life situations involving friendship and mutual assistance, and enjoyed colouring thematic pictures. The schoolchildren reached an important conclusion: peace begins with the kindness, respect, and sincerity of each one of us.
Students from classes 1-V and 1-I discussed peace during thematic educational events titled “Peace Begins with Us.” The first-graders reflected on kindness, friendship, mutual respect, and helping others, realizing that everyone can contribute to creating a kind and peaceful world.
Students in class 4-A held a discussion on peace and assembled a thematic puzzle titled “What Can We Do for Peace?”, identifying the good deeds and actions that make the world a better place.
Class 1-H held an educational event titled “What Colour Is Peace?” The children reflected on how they envision peace and shared their thoughts and dreams.
Meanwhile, students in class 3-V embarked on a symbolic “Journey to the Planet of Peace,” where engaging tasks, reflections, and discoveries awaited them.
Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is the opportunity to learn, make friends, dream, hug our loved ones, and build the future.
May every kind deed, sincere word, and helping hand we offer serve as a small step toward lasting peace.
Let us cherish peace. Let us nurture kindness. Let us believe in Ukraine!

A packed itinerary awaited the students, featuring engaging activities and quest challenges. The schoolchildren had the opportunity not only to learn a great deal but also to demonstrate their ingenuity, powers of observation, and team spirit.
Highlights included discovering the work of folk artisans, traditional Ukrainian tableware, elements of folk decor, and the authentic atmosphere of a Ukrainian village. The children happily took photos, socialized, and explored new facets of their region’s cultural heritage.
The trip provided the fifth-graders with a wealth of positive emotions and vivid memories, offering yet another chance to appreciate the rich and fascinating history of the Cherkasy region.
