On the international music day there was a school concert by young musicians from a renown Estonian accordion band named Lõõtsavägilased. 

Thirteen youngsters from our school together with their peers from Sillamäe Vanalinna Shool took part in project where they revived old traditional games and folk dances from Virumaa region. The students played old games once played by their mothers and grandmothers. The best activity, according to the excitement level, was hopscotch. This game was also played in the English as well as in the Russian version. The kids also enjoyed doing button whirligigs. It was especially gratifying when the whirligig started spinning on its own and when it span longer than the whirligigs of others.

For the first time our Home Daughters from Alutaguse regional unit took part in a summer city camp in Tallinn. There were around 80 girls from all around Estonia and their intention was to learn more about the Estonian government buildings and also to spend time and communicate with each other while also independently wandering in our capital city. The girls visited the Parliament, the Stenbock House, main building of the Estonian Defence League, Kadriorg castle and park, and the Presidential Palace.

For the elementary students (years 1 to 4) the school year ended with a treasure hunt. It was a fun day outside, children could play modern day games as well as games from the past and they also had a picnic. What a nice way to spend time and the last school day with schoolmates and teachers!

During the visit students learned what is Levira, how does live broadcasting work, who invented the television and where does the name television even come from.  There was also  a TV tower tour. After the visit students headed to T1 ferris wheel to enjoy great views on our capital.
