Intellectual Week Festival / Week of Foreign Languages
One of the most important tasks of the modern school is to bring up a person who is able to replenish own knowledge, to quickly adapt to the changing demands of life, to think critically and to generate creative ideas. This represents high level of intellectual culture.
On February the 16th the Intelligent Week Festival began with the oral magazine "SkandyMania" for students of the 4th forms. This event was the result of fruitful research of teachers and students. The students learnt interesting facts about the Scandinavian countries, their traditions, customs and daily habits, etc. while watching the presentations, and listening to students’ reports.
On February the 18th the students of the 3rd- 4th grades had the intellectual quiz "Let there be peace, success, and Internet unites us all." The children had the opportunity to show their understanding of the information technology, demonstrate their ability to write algorithms, to work in text and graphic editors. We can say that our winners are future programmers who will bring fame to our school in various competitions and contests.
The ability to play chess allows us to develop self-control, self-regulation, and self-organization. On February the 18th a chess tournament took place at Scandinavian Gymnasium during the festival.
