Holidays and Celebrations in the UK in June.

13^th – The Queen’s Official Birthday. Although the Queen’s real birthday is on the 21^st of April, it has been a tradition since 1748 to celebrate the king or queen’s birthday in June. A military parade known as Trooping the Colour is held in London, attended by the Royal Family. (Click here to see footage of the procession!)

21^st – Father’s Day. Father’s Day is a day to show appreciation to fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers and fathers-in-law. Many people in the UK give their father a card or gift, have a meal together or go out for drinks.

21^st – Summer solstice. The ancient monument of Stonehenge in Wiltshire has its true moment in the sun as people celebrate the longest day and shortest night of the year. Stand inside the monument facing northeast, toward a stone outside the circle called the Heel Stone, and you'll see the sun rise like a blazing fire – a sight that brings in pagans and sun-lovers of all beliefs! 

29^th–July 12^th – Wimbledon Tennis Championships. Wimbledon, the world’s oldest tennis tournament, is a summer highlight for sports fans. Held at the All England Club in London since 1877, Wimbledon is known for the tennis players’ white dress code and the tradition for spectators to eat strawberries and cream.

Holidays and Celebrations in the UK in May.

1^st – Beltane. Beltane (or Beltain) is the Celtic festival of fire, which celebrates fertility and marks the start of summer. With its roots in ancient Scotland, Ireland and the Isle of Man, modern versions of the event are becoming more popular – some of the largest are in Edinburgh, Thornborough in Yorkshire andButser Ancient Farm in Hampshire, where the traditional 30-foot Wicker Man is burned at sunset.

4^th and 25^th – Bank holidays. There are two Mondays in May when people have the day off work or school and (if we’re lucky!) spend some time outdoors enjoying the spring sunshine.

Конкурс 'My Estonia'

                                                                            13 марта в Малевской основной школе состоялся     городской конкурс под названием 'My Estonia'.

Цель данного мероприятия - показать многообразие и красоту природы Эстонии, научить ценить и беречь природные ресурсы нашей страны, воспитывать чувство патриотизма и любовь к родине. 

В конкурсе принимали участие ученики 7-9 классов из девяти школ города. Нашу школу достойно представили ученики 8К класса: Косинов Станислав, Перевалов Даниил, Римаст Андрей, Мурашин Илья и Спичиков Максим. 

Была проведена большая подготовительная работа - презентация уезда и изготовление коллажа, а так же сувениров, которые символизировали бы уезд. Наши ученики представили уезд Тартумаа, рассказали о географии уезда, городах и реках, о главных достопримечательностях, отвечали на вопросы викторины, составляли сиквел на тему дня, принимали участие в играх. В завершение состоялось награждение участников викторины. 

Каждая команда получила грамоту и сувениры в подарок. Мероприятие получилось интересным, насыщенным и познавательным. Думаю, ребята не только обогатили свои знания в области географии, истории, английского языка, но и получили опыт общения со своими сверстниками. 

Хочется выразить благодарность ученикам 8К класса за активное участие в конкурсе, а так же учителям нашей школы Марине Мянд и Сергею Соболеву за оказанную помощь в подготовке мероприятия.

Festivals and Celebrations in April in Britain

1^st – April Fools’ Day. For one day of the year, it is acceptable – even encouraged! – to play tricks, pranks and practical jokes. Even newspapers, TV and radio shows often feature fake stories on April 1. It’s customary to reveal the joke by saying ‘April fool!’ (the person who falls for the joke is the ‘fool’), and to stop playing tricks at midday.

3^rd–6^th – Easter weekend. Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is always on a Sunday in March or April (called Easter Sunday), and the previous Friday (Good Friday) and following Monday (Easter Monday) are bank holidays. People celebrate Easter in different ways, but many give each other chocolate eggs and eat ‘hot cross buns’ (sweet buns with a cross design), while children decorate eggs or take part in Easter egg hunts.

23^rd – St George’s Day (England). The legend is that St George was a Roman soldier who killed a dragon to rescue a princess. He is now the patron saint of England, and this is England’s national day. You might still see St George’s Cross (a red cross on a white background, England’s national flag) or events with morris dancing (an English folk dance), but it is not a bank holiday and most people don’t hold special celebrations.

April 23 is also known as William Shakespeare’s birthday, when events take place to honour the playwright. The best place to experience Shakespeare Day is in his hometown, Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, where a week-long festival programme is expected for 2015.
