Collecting is a quite popular hobby in Latvia, though at the beginning of the school year our students were offered to show off their or their families’ collections to other classmates and schoolmates. Students from the first to seventh grades actively participated in the presentations of their collections during the lessons. Due to the pandemic some presentations took place online.
During the presentations students also discussed different kinds of collections, stories behind the collections, the age and the value of the collected items. It was a great way to get to know each other better, to develop students’ presentation and communication skills and to show new ways and opportunities of leisure time activities.
Mostly collections consisted of:
coins
toy race cars
toy animals
stamps
dolls
football cards
medals
