In October we celebrate English traditions at the Russian International School. One of the most important events of the month was the visit of our students to the British Embassy in Moscow to meet the consul.

The students had an opportunity to discuss the topics of diplomacy, international relations, and cooperation between Russia and the UK. Students asked questions about Brexit and Boris Johnson's appointment as the new prime minister. Students also discussed ecology issues and man's influence on the global ecosystem. At the end of meeting, the consul, Colin Wells talked about diplomats' everyday work and their different roles. 

Many of our students aim to continue their studies at international universities, possibly in the UK, and some of them aim at building a career in the politics in Russia and intend to enter MGIMO. Therefore, the opportunity to get first-hand information was an extremely important and valuable experience for our students.

This month the school was delighted to host a special guest from France, Philippe Jalaber, professor and teacher of plastic arts at the International Lyceum of Saint-Jarmin-en-Lin. He made a presentation entitled "Learning French through art" which was followed up with an open question forum, The author's approach was aimed at active vocabulary growth and understanding of grammatical and phonetic language forms through acquaintance with modern French art.

In October at RIS we learn about English Culture and Tradition, so some of our pupils attended the English interactive performance "The Secret Kingdom". Interactive English performances help to improve language skills, extend vocabulary and reduce the barrier to language acquisition.
Furthermore, such interactive performances help to develop the social and communicative abilities of children.
