Ending the School Year in Turkey

ENDING THE SCHOOL YEAR

After the tiring school year, all of the students and teachers were looking forward to  the holiday. While some of the students felt unhappy at saying goodbye to their friends and teachers, some of them were excited about their holiday or new adventures. Let’s read the students’ ideas about the ending of the school year.

SENA: I think, I did my best this year. My grades are high. I wanted to have rest all day longJ but I know that I must do my homework.

TAHİR: I am not pleased about my school report. I didn’t study regularly. I didn’t do my homework at all. So this holiday I have to study.

TUĞBA: I have some plans about my vacation. I want to go my hometown. I want to lie under the trees and watch the sky. I will read some novels. I want to keep away my mobile phone and my computer.

“Sivania” School Day

On June, 9^th all the pupils and teachers in our school celebrated School Day. It was a very special one, having as a motto: “School – the way towards our future”. Pupils in every class were involved in different activities, there were special guests invited in each classroom, persons working in different fields, who are (or were) very good in what they do (or did).  They talked about their career, where they started from, how they knew what they want to do and, more important, they answered all the pupils’ questions for an hour or more.

There was also a festival in the school yard for pupils in the 5^th, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade, where were invited very talented pupils from the other schools in town to celebrate together with us. It was another proof that children of different ethnicities ‘speak all the same language’. Beside our Romanian traditional songs and dances, and beside pop, rock and other musical genre prepared by our pupils and teachers, there were also pupils from the Hungarian School, and gipsy children dressed in traditional costumes, singing and dancing their specific songs.

Meanwhile, the youngest pupils in our school, Primary Classes, performed in a carnival, in another school yard, dancing and presenting their costumes. It was very entertaining for them to prepare for this special day and to think themselves, together with their parents, how to present their character in an original and interesting way.

The most expected moment by every child in school was the Sport Moment, when the oldest pupils, the graduates, played a match against their teachers. The girls played a handball match, and the boys played a football match. It was ‘the hottest’ moment because the school ‘was divided in two’, teachers’ supporters on the one side, and pupils’ supporters on the other side. Both pupils and teachers were the winners, of course.

All in all it was a very special day, when everybody had a lot of fun, when all the activities have finished with the regret that they weren’t longer. Now, everybody is looking forward to the next year SCHOOL DAY!

The last school day in Latvia for forms 1.-8 this year was on the 29th of May. 9th formers finished their studies on the 16th of May with the so called Last Bell party but they had to get ready for their exams in English, Maths, Latvian and History, officially they graduated the school in June.

The last school day for the pupils of Mezvidi Primary school has always been special, not only because of the coming long expected summer holidays, this is the day when teachers, pupils and their parents gather for the official gala ceremony in the Town Hall. Pupils are awarded with diplomas for their achievements in their studies, different olympiads, sport competitions. Teachers give an account by showing different presentations and movies of the main things, achievements and special events that have taken place during the whole school year.

Flowers to the teachers, farewell hugs from the classmates and the summer holidays can begin… 3 months of rest and carelessness!!!
