history of the holiday

In fact, in different countries the school year begins at different times; in many countries this date is variable. In Russia, for example, under Peter I, classes in schools and gymnasiums began at different times - from late August to mid-October, and rural schools traditionally began classes on December 1, when all field work was completed.

Even in the USSR, until the mid-30s, there was no single day for the beginning of the school year; it was only stipulated that children begin school in the fall. And only on September 3, 1935, a resolution was adopted on the introduction of a single day for the start of classes in all schools of the USSR from September 1.

A separate part of the Universe; planet. 3. Friendly relations between someone, absence of disagreements, enmity; agreement. 4. Silence, peace, tranquility. “And in our class today there is silence, and therefore peace.” Children recite by heart V. Orlov’s poem “The House with a Blue Roof.” (Annex 1). — You will learn the proverbs that the people have written by working in groups. Each group has one task: you need to collect a proverb from phrases that you come across. Each group has its own proverb. The phrases are as follows: 1) War destroys. The world is building. 2) Happy children. Peace on the planet. (The result should be the following proverbs: 1) Peace builds, war destroys. 2) Peace on the planet – happy children.). - Look at the illustrations about peace and war. — What colors did the artist use to convey the horror and suffering that people experience during the war? (Gloomy, dark). — And for depicting peaceful life? (Light, bright, juicy). - Why? (Light and bright colors express good feelings, good mood. After all, without peace in a large-scale sense, there is no peace in the soul. Dark colors evoke bad thoughts and feelings). — Paints are not always used to convey feelings and mood. Sometimes a color symbolizes something, e.g. is a symbol of something. What is a "symbol"? (A symbol is a conventional sign, designation). — Name the symbols of our state.

No. 1. Poem by V. Orlov “A house under a blue roof.” A house with a blue roof, like a roof over the earth, blue skies. And under the blue roof there are rivers, mountains and forests.

The house revolves near the sun, So that we can be warm, So that every window can be illuminated. So that we can live in the world, Without swearing, without threatening, Like good neighbors or good friends. No. 2. Information about the traditions of celebrating the beginning of the school year in different countries. On September 1, all schoolchildren, students, and teachers in our country celebrate Knowledge Day. The date September 1st, as Knowledge Day, was officially included in the holiday calendar of the USSR back in 1984 by decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR No. 373-11 of June 15, 1984 “On declaring September 1st a national holiday - Knowledge Day.” Dedicated to the beginning of the school year, the holiday immediately received national status and is still celebrated to this day in many post-Soviet republics, including Ukraine, Belarus, Armenia, Kazakhstan, Moldova and Turkmenistan. The history of September 1st as a special day goes back to ancient times, namely to the 4th century AD. In 325, Constantine the Great, the Roman emperor who made Christianity the dominant religion, convened the first Ecumenical Council, which, among other things, decided to start the new year on September 1. In Rus', the New Year was celebrated in March-April, and this lasted for quite a long time. Only at the end of the 15th century did Orthodox Rus' begin to celebrate the beginning of the new year on September 1st. The first year that began in Rus' on September 1 was 1492. And this happened by decree of John III. Why does the school year begin on September 1st? All the first schools were attached to churches, so education in them began with the church new year - on September 1. Here's a simple explanation. The September “New Year” in Rus' did not last long: already in 1699, Peter the Great issued a decree moving the New Year to January 1, so as not to differ from Europe. It so happened that the year 1699 lasted only 4 months - from September 1 to January 1, when the new year 1700 began. But school has already begun in September - you can’t force students to study without a break for more than a year. In general, the tradition of starting the school year the old fashioned way on September 1 was left intact. That is why children go to school on September 1 - because previously this day was the first day of not only the school year, but also the calendar year! Although September 1 as Knowledge Day is considered an international holiday, the tradition of starting the school year on this day does not exist in all countries. In Japan, children start school in April. In Japan, the first bell rings in April and the last bell rings in March of the following year. In India, as in Japan, children start school in April. In the United States, there is generally no clearly established date for the first day of the new school year. The date is determined by each educational district: it turns out that American children from different states go to school on different days - some at the end of July, some in August, and some in September. In Australia, the school year begins in February, and in Germany - in mid-October. Spanish girls and boys begin their studies depending on the end of the harvest in different provinces, but no later than October 1. New Zealand students start school in February. South African students start school in January. French schoolchildren have more holidays than school days. In Israel, children start the school year, like us, on September 1st. But they have one very interesting tradition: every year on the line you can watch the flight of balls in the sky. Children write their wishes on balloons and release them into the sky. No. 3. Information about the tragic date 01 - 03 September 2004. 03 September - “Day of Solidarity in the Fight against Terrorism”. The appearance of this date is associated with the tragedy that happened in 2004 in the city of Beslan, when, during the assembly, on Knowledge Day, armed and aggressive terrorists broke into the school. The militants held students, their relatives and teachers captive for three days, the total number of whom was 1,128 people. As a result, over 560 people were injured and 394 died. Among the victims were military personnel, women and children. The main tragedy of this day was that most of the dead were minors. During the liberation operation, 31 terrorists were killed and one was arrested. The number of deaths that day was 1% of the city's residents. The events in Beslan became a tragedy for the entire population of Russia, as well as other countries. Every year in Beslan, on September 3, a memorial event takes place, starting at the same time when the first bomb planted in the gym detonated. Candles are lit in front of the school building, burning until the morning; near the memorial complex, white balls are launched into the sky, equal to the number of those killed. On this day, commemorative events are held in every city that was touched by the terrible hand of terror. Residents of Beslan, Volgograd, Volgodonsk, Buynaksky, Pervomaisk, Budyonnovsk, Vladikavkaz, Moscow, where there were those killed at the hands of terrorists, and other cities that are not indifferent to these losses, on September 3 pay tribute to all victims of terrorist attacks, as well as those injured during rescue operations military. On this day, funeral processions take place through the city streets, flowers are laid at memorials, and candles are lit. In memory of the dead, balloons and sky lanterns are launched, and white doves are released into the sky. In addition, various rallies are held and a minute of silence is held. Many schools host thematic lessons that highlight the problems of terrorism and methods of combating it. No. 4. Poem by O. Vysotskaya. "Under the banner of peace." We are children of a free and peaceful country. Our great people do not want war. Both our mothers and our fathers are fighters for peace, for freedom, for happiness. We study at school, grow poplars, We love hiking in forests and fields. Any path in life is open to us. We want to grow under a calm sky.
