Celebrating International Thank You Day at the 1st Primary School of Gargaliani

By -

This year, our school celebrated International Thank You Day by exploring the power of gratitude. Students learned different ways to express thanks in English and shared what they are grateful for. We brought our ideas to life by decorating a gratitude tree in the school yard with colorful post-it notes, creating a beautiful display of appreciation and positivity. 

In a simple yet meaningful activity, students created their own gratitude jars and filled them with notes of appreciation, joy, and positive moments from their daily lives. Each jar became a personal collection of things they are thankful for,family, friends, achievements and even small moments that made them smile.

As students wrote and shared their thoughts, the activity encouraged reflection and mindfulness. It reminded them that gratitude doesn’t have to come from big events.

By the end of the activity, the colourful jars stood as a symbol of positivity and self-awareness.

  The Lithuanian team joyfully took part in the celebration of International Dot Day. To begin, the students watched the inspiring short film “The Dot” by Peter H. Reynolds, which encouraged them to believe in their creativity and to express themselves without fear. After the video, they shared their thoughts and impressions about the message of the story and discussed why this day is celebrated around the world. To mark the occasion, the students created their own colorful dots and brought them to life using the augmented reality app Quiver. The moment when the drawings transformed into 3D animated creations was truly exciting and filled the classroom with surprise and joy. It was a wonderful experience that combined creativity, art, and modern technology, leaving students inspired to keep exploring their talents.
