Zvezdochki Travel Across Russia

Today, Zvezdochki embarked on an exciting journey across Russia, discovering the landmarks of various cities and the country’s most magical places. We dived into the crystal-clear waters of Lake Baikal, learning about its incredible diversity of aquatic life. We wandered through landscapes dotted with peculiar volcanoes, marvelled at steaming geysers, and were tempted to take a relaxing dip in the hot thermal springs.

But our adventure didn’t stop there! We explored Kazan with its magnificent architecture, admired the white-stone grandeur of Veliky Novgorod, wandered through the golden splendour of Peterhof, took in the wooden wonders of Kizhi, and stood in awe before Red Moscow. We also “strolled” along the walls of the Smolensk Kremlin, climbed Mamayev Kurgan in Volgograd, visited a mosque in Kazan, and finally returned to the capital to take in more of its fascinating sights.

What a whirlwind of impressions and discoveries!

Kapelki and Their Learning Adventures

Meanwhile, Kapelki shared a valuable story about a boy named Tyoma, built words from syllables, compared numbers, and searched for their numerical neighbours. Then, we set off on a journey to meet sea creatures, playing hide-and-seek and memory games with them. The number and object games were such a hit — we’ll definitely keep practising to sharpen our memory even more!

A Sweet Surprise!

And then, we all got creative together! Since yesterday was International Women’s Day, we decided to surprise our mums, grandmothers, and sisters with a delightful treat. Our little confectioners put their hearts into making fantastic handmade sweets, each uniquely decorated to their own design. The result? A delicious and beautiful masterpiece!

But that wasn’t all — after all, a sweet creation needs the perfect way to be presented! This is where imagination ran wild again, as we transformed simple little baskets into charming, decorative gift holders. It was heartwarming to hear the children carefully choosing the colours their mums would love — what a touching moment!

And oh, the joy on their faces as they proudly presented their edible masterpieces to their mums — you had to see it to believe it!

Wishing all our wonderful mums, grandmothers, and little girls a life that is as sweet, fragrant, and full of blossoms as this special day! 🌸💖
