27 January was a remarkable day for SCIT. The school children from St. Petersburg’s secondary school  №574 came to visit the School .  The children were accompanied by their class master Grigoriy Gavrilov, teacher of Russian and Literature.  Director Irina Alexeeva held a master-class in interpretation for them. She focused on the memory training exercises and speech cohesion exercisers, and used for them the materials connected with the date of 27 January – Memorial  Day of Leningrad Siege Break,  International Holocaust Remembrance Day, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s birthday. The crowning exercises tested the children’s erudition and knowledge of Russian.
