The Health Day

On September 12, all lyceum students took part in the event called Health Day, and IB classes were not an exception. Here we have some impressions and thoughts of IB2 students about this day.



"The weather was cold but sunny. We warmed near the fire. Then we made tasty barbecue. We enjoyed time spent together."


"Wind, friends and BBQ,
forest, fire, it was true!
Contests, classmates, no hot tea.
But we had an IB team!"


"I think health day is a great way to bond the students of the lyceum and create mood for the upcoming year of hard-work."


"We were chilled to the bones. All IB students enjoyed delicious meat. Grade 10 and 11 Lyceum students took part in different interesting contests."

"During the Health Day i felt that our class is actually a part of the lyceum, when we spent time all together. Also I've found a nice hat there, so i didn't get cold and felt stylish."


"I think that such event as health day is very useful for students. Firstly, because students spend a lot of time sitting in the classrooms and they don't move a lot. So it's good for our health. Secondly, it's good for students as we learn how to work in a team and become much closer to each other."


"It was an enjoyable day with my lovely class. We got interesting experience cooking barbecue together. Since it was the last health day we had, we tried to spend it in the best possible way." 


"It was an amazing opportunity to take part in the organization of the Health Day. We were very pleased to see all the teams working in collaboration while completing different tasks and quizzes."

One more IB class

On September 4, there was an initiation ceremony for the new IB1 students.

 

To maintain an old tradition, IB2 students held an Initiation Ceremony, to make the new IB class familiar with the IB Learner Profile and to demonstrate how important it is to be one team. IB2 students tried to present all the necessary qualities and skills, every IB student should keep in mind and use in life. The main goal was to welcome them to our IB family. They had to solve 10 challenges to become true IB students. The challenges consisted of some tasks and instructions, which they had to follow, for example, to solve a word quiz, to eat a cucumber, etc.

 

 

 

The most unexpected contest for the rookies was to perform a ‘trust’ exercise with the senior students. Some of the new IB students were quite skeptical about it at first but in the end, everything turned out pretty well. 

 

Finally, IB2 prepared some kind of a “tea party”. In addition, everyone participated in a game where students, one by one, gave each other compliments while passing the clew and holding a part of its thread. This game probably helped everyone to become closer to each other.

 

“We were really happy to meet our new IB friends and share fantastic moments with them. We are ready to help them with any questions because our aim is to make new IB generations better than the previous ones”, said IB2 students.
