Then, an exhibition of children's works was organized, through which children's imagination, creativity and creative ability could be seen. As part of the sports day, the children competed in games of speed and dexterity, and on that occasion, medals and prizes were awarded to the most successful competitors. As a special activity, a masquerade ball stood out, where children showed their creative abilities and imagination, and with music, dance and socializing, they had the opportunity to present their costumes.
