Between lessons we have special breaks, where students improve their health instead of

waiting for the next lesson.

You can dance, do gymnastics, or take part in small sport contests.

That’s good for our digestion, as we mainly

eat cold fast food.

Nauryz Party at school-lyceum # 35

We celebrate Nauryz at school every year as it is a public holiday and a New Year according to the ancient Oriental calender.

The system of celebration is very easy: a special council of representatives from each class choose the class which will prepair the holiday at school.

The chosen class gives orders to other classes to prepare a drawing on a big size of paper showing Nauryz in imagination of each class. We call it ’shkolnaya gazeta’ which means ‘school newspaper’.

After that pictures are hung on a special stand and there is such a picture gallery made by all the students

Kazakh Traditional Ornament

Naurys Holiday in City

It isn’t a religious, political, civil holiday. It is a national holiday, that’s why it is so cheerful and kind. People prepare for Nauryz beforehand: clean their homes, buy new clothes, clean out their yards. Streets are decorated with flags; national yurts are put in places of celebration. Children in kindergartens have fun mornings, pupils at schools - concerts, people in businesses and government organizations - banquets. People are wearing national costumes and customs of the ancestors are remembered. At a makeshift, ornamented scene people dance and sing. Various horseback competitions are very popular on this day.

Kazakh Holiday - Nauryz

Kazakhs determined spring by the sun, as soon as the warm rays of the sun penetrated the yurt through its upper opening. According to the old chronology, this day usually coincides with the March 21 - the day of vernal equinox. That’s why Kazakhs named the month of March – Nauryz. People believe that renewal in nature, the first spring thunder, the swelling buds on the trees, germination of greenery happen on this day. It is also a day of forgiveness and mercy. That’s’ why people expect the best changes in their lives.

Nauryz Activities

Baiga: racing for a long distance. Kyz kuu (catch up a girl): a brave (“dzhigit”) galloping has to catch up and kiss a young rider. If he fails, on the way back a girl punishes him with strikes of a lash.

Kok-pairs: a kind of equestrian football, in which instead of a ball people use beheaded carcass of a goat.

Kumis Alu – a jump with elements of the art of riding: a rider at full gallop has to pick up a coin; its location is marked with light sand or sawdust. The winners receive prizes.

On “Nauryz” holiday people participate in atheletic competitions both girls and boys. A girl invites a young man -“dzhigit ” to compete and if he wins, he will have a right on her hand and heart, but if she wins, so he must obey her and realize any her wishes. Girls like dancing!

Nauryz - Kozhe

After street festivals people come to visit or receive visitors at home. Nauryz, as well as other holidays is a great opportunity to meet the relatives and friends around a big dastarkhan (a holiday table). Nauryz-kozhe is the main dish. It is a kind of soup, made of 7 components: water, meat (horsemeat, mutton), fat, flour, salt, cereals (rice, wheat or corn) and dairy products (kurt or irimshik). They symbolize happiness, luck, wisdom, health, wealth, rapid growth and divine protection.
