Dear all,
Firstly, our warmest seasonal greetings with very best wishes from myself, Vakula and all the BC staff!

Secondly, it is nice to see your blogs being updated (well done, Smila, Brody, Artek, and Skadovsk!). This is a short review on the schools' activities based on the info obtained from Olga Pavlovna and from your blog posts. Teachers report:

- Marianna Nesteruk from Brody, Lviv region reports about successful SAW presentation for English teachers of Brody District: "The district seminar was held on 14 December in our school. The teachers were informed about SAW project and blogs. They were suggested to collect information about their schools and get ready with some ideas for SAW projects. The next time the district seminar will be held we plan to 'hire' a computer lab in our school and to try to get some hand-on experience in both projects."

- Kerime Seutova from Sudak, Autonomous Republic of Crimea sent to the BC two articles she had published in Sudak City Council newspaper ‘Sudakskiye Vesti’ (“News from Sudak”). Kerime tells about their school work on the topic Drinking Water and participation in the Travelling Computer project of the British Council Ukraine.

- The school from Lapaivka, Lviv region sent us photo report about their school and students (see picture to the right). They are interested in work on SAW topics.

- Two Natalies from Skadovsk participate in Christmas cards exchange project with a school from Greece and successfully prepared a group of students for Cambridge Young Learner examination. This week they have a Certificate Award Ceremony for pupils, their parents and teachers.
