Kaunatas High School 2022./2023. m.g. In the 2 nd Semester, it was decided to use funds for the visit of museum pedagogical activities and a special visit to Latvia for the visit of historical and cultural historical sites. During the semester, we visited 4 museums: the Latgale cultural history museum in Rezekne, the Ludza Municipality Research Museum, the Naujenes Municipality Research Museum and the Museum Riga “Jews in Latvia”. The pupils participated in various museum pedagogical activities - “mysteries of subterranean depths” (Clause 1-2), “ancient games and toys” (Clause 4), both familiar with the peculiarities of the Jewish culture (Clauses 7-12) and search for their family roots (Clauses 4-6) and survived in the Boņuk Day lesson “human child” (Clauses 5-6). Out-of-school environments and informal time allowed students to otherwise see the familiar but new familiarity, then integrate them into the learning process. Museum pedagogical programs allow students to operate in a different environment and to learn more about the authenticity of history, the diversity of nature, such as the Ludza Museum in the “animal country”. The museums also have the opportunity to operate in various workshops – the Naujen Museum in the 6 th and 8 th grade pupils painted glass; many previously had no idea that they had such patience and fantasy, which resulted in a souvenir for his or her mother. In Latgale Museum of Cultural History, students of class 4 learned a number of ancient toy and dance steps that can later be used at some time to improve the integrity of the class.
Secondary school classes went a little further to Bauska, Rundal and Līgatne. In the hours of visual art, the baroque pearl - Rundāle Palace, of course, left the most brightest impression and gave a 18.gs in the architecture and its time of time, traditions, but the renewed garden of the castle demonstrated how much it was possible to do if there was patience and knowledge. The visit of the Motormuseum branch in Bauska enabled comparisons of how far the technique had evolved. The survey of the Bauska Old City and the Palace provided a more complete picture of the historical scene in Latvia's history when there was a struggle for power and freedom in Zemgale. In contrast, the opportunity offered by the Rehabilitation Centre “Līgatne” to look at the “Līgatne secret bunker” in Classes 10 and 11 was an encounter with a relatively recent stage of history, which is certainly remembered by their grandparents. As a result, it was interesting to feel the guides in the story, to see the various details forming the cultural historical scene in the 20 th century. On side 2. There was, of course, a lot of questions for young people why it could not be done otherwise because the values in the 21 st century have already changed – it is also important, to understand the causes and consequences of the action, as the identity and the system of values will be strengthened in the old age of young people.
Every time you leave and discover a corner of Latvia for yourself, both the understanding of the history of your country and its beauty are expanded, and there is an understanding of the public holidays, as well as an expanding idea of how what is being taught in the school works in life as animals seen in the book, a castle that history is about. Returning from travel in time and space, the student's personality gains new opportunities for growth.
