Landmark Games 2013 Introductions

Do you know this Landmark?

Hello Players from around the world! Please use this Forum space to share information about your part of the world. Include photos of your school or countryside or anything you think might be interesting to the other players in the games.

This year we have an even larger group of players - two categories for Primary in A and B, and a large group in Challenge. At last count, we have 85 teams. I am waiting for final confirmation from a few teams.

It is my distinct pleasure to coordinate this global learning experience! I know from your emails that it is a challenge to organize in your classrooms, and at the same time, it is a significant learning opportunity in both geography, culture, and language for your students.

Best to all!

Introduction-Gymnasium 14 (Team Maslova) Krasnoyarsk, Russia

We are happy to greet all the participants!

Our team is from Siberian city Krasnoyarsk. Krasnoyarsk is a capital city of Krasnoyarsk Region which is the geographical centre of Russia.

We are a mixed group of students of several 8^th forms. All together there are 25 of us. We take part in such kind of project for the first time and hope that we’ll be able to make a good team. This game will help us to make friends within our team and with students from other teams.

Our gymnasium 14 is rather old. This year we celebrated its 40^th anniversary. Different forms helped in the organization. Some invited former teachers and school graduates, others decorated the classrooms, corridors and the assembly hall. In the gymnasium there are some creative teams which gave a concert for guests and active teaching staff.

All the participants in our team are active students. We are always engaged in different class and after-class (extra-curricular) activities. Just a week ago we presented our projects in English “An effective advertisement” and this week we are going to make crosswords and puzzles “Science and technology”, also in English.

You can visit our gymnasium web http://www.gimnaziy14.ru/ and ask your questions our team coordinator Irina Maslova ir_maslova@mail.ru. We would like to make friends with other teams and have contact with them even after the game Landmarks.

Team Maslova
