IB unit “How we express ourselves“. Various forms of expression in different cultures
2022 April 4th Early School

February 16 is a special day for Lithuania. The day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania is important to all Lithuanians who know and preserve history.

Early years students love Lithuania very much; therefore, they paid a lot of attention in order to prepare for the celebration of the day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania. They were very excited and wore clothes with cultural symbols. During the week of preparation, school‘s environment was decorated with national and cultural symbols too.

Together with students we talked about our national flag, its colours and meaning. In order to use their knowledge of national symbolism, students drew a map and made other attributes such as necklaces from pasta in Lithuania‘s flag colours.

What is more, students enjoyed various Lithuanian folk legends about our capital Vilnius and Gediminas castle.

This activities during this unit of inquiry encouraged students to be proud of their country and to express their patriotism in different ways.
