AZBUKA Saturday School trip to the woods – an amazing learning and exploring experience, with special surprise!

On the 1st of July AZBUKA Saturday School travelled to the Surrey Hills where the children had lessons amongst the nature and woodlands of Newlands Corner.

The fresh air and natural surroundings provided a healthy and inspirational educational experience. Children learnt to navigate the terrain, search for and identify rare plants and unusual insects, became acquainted with literary works on this nature topic and played games.

Our students also had a special surprise, rarely found in the woods. Emerging from the woods came a wonderful entertainer, the clown and mime-artist Igor Lamba. Lucky kids!

Наши классы Ласточки и Вишенки познакомились с интересными животными в зоопарке Battersea.

Живут ли сурикаты на Северном полюсе? Наши классы Ласточки и Вишенки познакомились с интересными животными в зоопарке Battersea.

This week Reception class and Year 1 visited Battersea Park Children’s Zoo as apart of their ‘Amazing Animals’ topic.

We would all like to thank our fabulous guides Fiona and Louise for introducing us to a variety of fascinating animals and telling us how they live in their natural habitats.

We particularly loved seeing the otters and meerkats enjoying their breakfast, and the talking parrot was a great surprise at the end of our day.

Школа АЗБУКА в Лондоне от всей души поздравляет всех с Днём Победы!

Гордимся, помним и не забудем никогда!

Два года тому назад мы создали этот проект и теперь пересматриваем, вспоминая ветеранов…

«Живые истории» ветеранов войны надолго останутся в памяти наших родителей и учителей. Эти воспоминания, которые передавались нам в рассказах наших бабушек и дедушек, уходят все дальше в прошлое и остаются лишь в книгах, письмах, фильмах, фотографиях, НО забыть об этом великом историческом событии для любого человека, у которого есть русские корни или связь с Россией – невозможно.“

Как много интересных мест в Лондоне! Вот где наш 1 класс уже побывал.

During the Spring term Swallow Class (Year 1) enjoyed educational visits to the V&A Museum of Childhood, the National Gallery, Canada House, the Science Museum and Kew Gardens.
Each trip was carefully paired with topics from ‘The World Around Us’, including; living history, famous artists, space exploration, plants and seasons. The excursions captured our imaginations, enhanced our understanding and enriched our learning.
We look forward to another exciting term of exploring new ideas both in class and around the wonderful city we live in!

Family Fair “Russian Carousel -№2”

More than 250 people from across London attended the Fundraising Family Fair “Russian Carousel -№2” organised by AZBUKA Foundation on Sunday 19th March 2017, when our Russian language, culture and bilingual education centre opened its doors to the wider community.

The aim was to have fun, bring together different groups who share our values, and spread awareness of our school and bilingual education, resource and cultural centre.

We generated £1,600 towards IT equipment, library and educational resources which will help to support our full time school.

Thank you for being with us!

“Azbuka’s spring fair took place in its premises, the spacious, airy hall of a former church on Vernon Road. It was a colourful, bustling affair, with a profusion of Russian artefacts and home-made foods, performances, and various children’s activities. Stylish hand-painted cushion-covers, quirky prints and illustrations jostled with rows of children’s books and of pots of Lithuanian honey set out in graded tones of amber; there were lavish displays of golden loaves of bread, and piles of pirozhki and vatrushki. Russian scarves in vibrant colours and patterns lent a picturesque look to the event.Children ran around excitedly, switching effortlessly between Russian and English, as if it were the most natural thing in the world.” – Ann Brown
