British International School unites Christmas traditions in Kyiv
First graders from the British International School, many of whom just turned 5 years old, celebrated their first ever school Christmas. The children prepared a Christmas play in Ukrainian and English for guests of the school and got presents from Father Frost and Snow Maiden.
The "Christmas Variety Concert" and "We are happy to be near the Christmas tree" are just two of the plays guests of the school have seen between 13th and 16th of December. During this period of time, students from the first to the sixth grade celebrated Christmas and New Year in the European and Ukrainian style.
"In our school there are children not only from Ukraine, but also from other countries. Some pupils are from the USA or Europe where it is traditional to prepare Christmas plays with biblical themes. Ukrainians are more used to Father Frost and Snow Maiden who give presents and invite children to dance in a ring around the Christmas tree. We also have students from Arabic countries - for them Christmas celebration is really something special. That is why we tried to unite the Christmas traditions, so that our students could feel the Christmas spirit and learn something new", commented Phil Billing, Executive Director of the British International School.
"In the British International School we care about creating a versatile developmental environment for our students. Starting from the first grade children develop their creativity in music and art lessons. Our professional teachers are always ready to give a helping hand to a student in developing his talents. We also consider it very important that our students know how to perform in front of the public; how to demonstrate their talents without constraint. We are sure, that when our students become adults, they will easily express their viewpoint to anybody and work towards consensus, thereby delivering positive results", says Olga Zastavnaya, General Director of the British International School
