Lesson 1.Short talk about the weather that day and about “Outdoor classroom Day.”
2. We walked around our school building meeting our head teacher Nicolai Lashin and some students from our school. They told us about their plans for that day to plant some lilac bushes in the school lawn. They demonstrated some tools (rakes, spades, etc.)
3. We went to a small school glade full of huge stumps and read a story from Teacher’s” Early Readers “book and discussed it. We made a conclusion:
“…Only now and then…And only really good, kind children can see the beauty around them if they open their eyes really wide and are as quiet as mice.’’
(Fairy Rose from “Are children real?”)
4. We played a game”Show the animal.”
5. Then we went around another part of our school building and enjoyed every- thing: the air was fresh, it wasn’t too hot.
