Russian Christmas morning - with Russian history, culture and sports (Dec'13)

Last Sunday the Russian school celebrated the end of term with a New Year show. The children performed "The election of Tsar Michael the first" to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty of Russia. The quiz on Russian history for parents and guests, traditional Russian dances and poetry recitals followed, culminating in  polonaise of Pushkin's St-Petersburg. The competitions and races inspired by the upcoming Winter Olympic Games that are due to be held in Sochi, Russia in 2014 were very popular. The atmosphere was very warm with the Samovar tea party and delicious babushka's cheese cakes "vatrushkas".  No Russian New Year event is complete without Santa, Ded Moroz( Grand-Father Frost), as he is called in Russia and Snegurochka, the Snowmaiden. These fairy-tale creatures appeared at the end of the show with a large sack full of presents.
