Conference of the Estonian language

It took place on 18th of March. On this day, students from 9th – 12th class had no usual lessons. It was dedicated to our mother tongue and we had many activities during the day. In the beginning, we had to be in the hall at quarter to nine. School had invited two famous people Erni Kask ( an actor in Rakvere Theatre) and Loone Ots (PhD, lecturer in Tallinn and Tartu University) to talk about different things related to Estonian. During these speeches, students had to take notes. I think this part of the day was very interesting and educative. After that, we were all invited to Kadrina church to watch a play written by Loone Ots.



This was about one religious man Reiner Brocmann, who worked in Kadrina church centuries ago and who is also famous for passing along the Estonian language. So, it was really meaningful for us.




When this play was over, we went back to the school hall. We all were aware of this day coming and every class had to prepare one play. These plays had to be taken from famous writers’ books. So it was our time to perform. The best play got an award. It was performed by form 12b and based on " Names in Marble"
















The jury also chose the best female and male actor. This was worth an effort. In conclusion, this day wasn’t just about getting a day off, it was about learning new things and appreciating our mother tongue.
