Each age group explored his \u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0447\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c, history, and cultural significance in their own engaging and meaningful way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u041f\u0442\u0430\u0448\u0430\u0442, <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The youngest Plast members began by learning about Taras Shevchenko and looking at his portrait. They then took part in a fun activity called the \u201cLucky Bag,\u201d where children randomly selected objects and guessed how they connected to Shevchenko: a pen representing his writing, a paintbrush symbolising his art, the Ukrainian flag reflecting his love for his homeland, and symbols like viburnum and the nightingale representing Ukrainian nature. A small book introduced them to the <em>Kobzar<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also learned about who a kobzar was and were introduced to the poem <em>\u201c\u0421\u043e\u043d\u0446\u0435 \u0433\u0440\u0456\u0454, \u0432\u0456\u0442\u0435\u0440 \u0432\u0456\u0454,\u201d<\/em> which they practised together using movements and visual cue cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting continued with a series of lively games, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>searching for word cards from the poem,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an active game \u201cNightingale, fly!\u201d,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>an attention game \u201cThe Artist\u2019s Colours,\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and a creative activity \u201cThe Magic Paintbrush,\u201d where children transformed into whatever the artist Taras \u201cpainted.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To finish, each child received a small gift from the \u201cLucky Bag.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u041d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Novatstvo group explored Shevchenko\u2019s life and \u0442\u0432\u043e\u0440\u0447\u0456\u0441\u0442\u044c through discussion and a memory game, where they had to recall objects associated with the poet and explain their meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They also learned the song <em>\u201cKoly vizhmu khustynu\u201d<\/em> and held a friendly competition to see whether the girls or the boys could perform it better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A special highlight of the day was spotting a kookaburra in a tree, which delighted the children. On the way to lunch, everyone sang the cheerful song <em>\u201cOnce there lived a man named Ivan.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u042e\u043d\u0430\u0446\u0442\u0432\u043e <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Yunatstvo group focused on planning upcoming activities. They discussed the requirements for achieving the \u201cPrykhyl\u2019nyk\u201d status, with those who complete them to be recognised at the next meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are also preparing for an upcoming overnight hike during the school holidays after Easter, with plans to walk part of the Bibbulmun Track, one of Western Australia\u2019s most scenic and well-known trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An important milestone was the official approval of their group name, <em>\u201cBystri Sokoly\u201d<\/em> (Swift Falcons). Administrative responsibilities were shared between two members, and the group has also been learning poetry for Shevchenko Days to deepen their connection to Ukrainian cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sincerely thank the parents who support Plast life and bring their children to meetings, nurturing their development and love for Ukrainian traditions. Special thanks also go to grandparents who take the time to be present, connect, and support our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are especially grateful to the parents who prepared delicious snacks, helping our Plast members recharge after a day full of activities and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was wonderful to see everyone together \u2014 learning, playing, and sharing time in the Plast community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We look forward to seeing you all at the next meeting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p
