The month of history and law at the Russian International School is now over. Throughout the month, interesting activities were held for our pupils, aimed at stimulating their interest in the history, historical events, the development of international law, an introduction to politics and, of course, to deepen their knowledge and broaden their horizons.

In addition, most of the activities, apart from their academic aspect, were aimed at fostering self-discipline, responsibility and independent thinking in the children. All project activities of the thematic month are aimed at developing the students' analytical skills, teaching them to make their own decisions, to prove their point of view and to apply their knowledge in real life.

Traditionally, let us summarise the results and tell you about the most interesting events of the month:

Interactive quiz on the myths of Ancient Greece

And this themed month at RIS started with the history of Ancient Greece. Students took part in an intellectual quiz game "Your game. Myths of Ancient Greece". During the quiz children were divided into 3 teams and chose categories of questions. Together with the teachers they recalled the characters of Ancient Greek mythology, attributes of the gods, winged expressions and other interesting facts from the history of Ancient Greece.
