Knowing the history of the country by the young generation would be one of the aspects of showing respect and honor for the nation. It helps to make a point for the future. On the pages of our history is reflected the history of our ancestors, their principles of life, their life and heritage. Knowledge of the culture and history of the country is the duty of young generation. Pursuing this goal, tutors of dormitory of NIS Semey organized an informative excursion to the homeland of the great poet Abay.
We can say that “the cognitive trip to the homeland of Great People Semey-Zhidebay”, organized within the framework of the program “Rukhani zhangyru” of the Head of State N.A. Nazarbayev, increased students’ love for the Motherland and respect for the great people of our nation.
Before the trip dormitory tutors jointly made a plan of the activity taking into consideration how to make this trip unforgettable and leave an impression in the memory of children, so that they can enjoy what they see and hear.
According to the plan students, their parents and tutors should visit several historical places. Among them, the museum-house of M. Auezov in Borily, Monument “Enlik-Kebek”, Nature Reserve “Zhidebay”, Shakarim’s ancestral palace, the sign of the Eurasian continent, the mausoleum of Ulzhan and Zere, the mausoleum of Abay-Shakarim and the amphitheater.
In general, the distance between Semipalatinsk and Zidebai is 180 km. The trip was long. So that the trip was not boring, tutors organized a quiz with questions about the life and work of Abay. They even paid much attention to the history of the Abay district. In the bus students actively took a part in the game “Know your Neighbor” and enjoyed it.
For students who were impressed by the wonderful works of the great people Abay, Shakarim, Mukhtar, the opportunity to see the place where they were born, to follow in their footsteps, to see and hold in their hand’s household items seemed to take them for a moment in the era of that time.
Student of 7th grade Madiar Baymuratov said: “We are familiar with school curriculum about Abay, Shakarim and Mukhtar. Even we often read Abay’s poems. Hearing and seeing affects a person differently. I am very glad that I had the opportunity to see the birthplace of the great poet.” Kozhakimova Aru mentioned that, the trip, aimed at the development of humanity, made it possible to look at the world with other eyes.
In the amphitheater, students together sang the songs “Kuzіmnіn Karasy”, “Zhelsiz tүnde zharyk ai”, “Aittym sәlem, Kalamkas” and attentively listened to the song of a 7th grade student Mariyama Dosmagulova “Zhelsіz tүndde zharyk ai” with musical accompaniment. Senior students Alisher Sabigaliyev and Aruzhan Sarbiyeva conducted the traditional dedication of the seventh classes and presented them badges with wisdom words of Abay, Mukhtar and Shakarim.
Thus, the one-day cognitive trip was successfully completed, students returned with a large knowledge about the history of great people.
