Time flies! And our Festival of Foreign Languages has come to an end. We hope that everyone had a wonderful time during our Festival!

Let’s look through the pages of the Festival diary.

The first day, the 20^th of February, was devoted to the Ceremony of the Festival Opening. Though it took only 20 minutes, we had a chance to learn how to greet in 7 languages, to get acquainted with the plan of the Festival, and to get to know why it is important to learn Foreign Languages.

On that day, the 20^th of February, the Spelling Bee Contest was held. We successfully demonstrated our knowledge in spelling words. We are able to think quickly and present well! There are a lot of winners of the contests! Congratulations!

This year Tuesday (the 21^st of February) was dedicated to creative writing! We were welcome to participate in The Short Story Contest “The Best Story I Can Tell”. It turned out that we have a vivid imagination and we are good at making up stories!

On Wednesday (the 22^nd of February) we were offered a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with the diverse world of the British and American literature. Every lesson on this day was like a treasure trove for our imagination, abilities and skills. Our junior pupils felt the magic atmosphere of fairy tales and limericks. And our senior pupils enjoyed the magnificent world of prose and poetry in English! Was it interesting to get to know about the history of the British and American literature, to get acquainted with the British and American writers and their works? Certainly, it was!

The Poetry Recitation Contest “The World Is Full of Poetry!” took place in the Assembly Hall! The participants did their best to achieve great results and fascinate the audience and jury! The pupils presented poems about love and friendship, about the dearest people in our life, about Homeland and hope. Congratulations to the winners of the Contest!

Thursday (the 23^rd of February) was devoted to music. We remember that singing beautiful melodies is one thing, but to deliver the text so that everyone understands it, even in a foreign language, has to be worked at very hard!  We were lucky to listen to our gymnasium best hits and take part in the contest on that day. “Rising Stars” Concert was held during the breaks. It was fantastic! We really did our best and worked hard to succeed on our Day of Music!

On Friday we discovered a lot of interesting things about our Motherland and other countries.  We learnt more about the character of different nations, their cuisines, customs and traditions.  The virtual journeys to Great Britain, America, Poland, China and France, the trips around our Belarus, certainly, helped us form a correct opinion of the national character of these countries, their people in all their conditions and all their habits. The lessons, full of curious facts, were held on the 24^th of February.

Our Festival was a success!
