Pupils of the second group drew the characters of this tale on paper and told them orally. Pupils of the third group told about the heroes of the fairy tale, verbally showing drawings about the heroes made from the applications, who they are and what heroes they are. The guests were pleased with the work of the educator and noted that the experience of the educator was worth taking. Friendship, harmony, and peace were praised in this tale. Children reflected in the tale that success would be there where there were peace and harmony. At the end of the tale, the children took each other’s hands, wished peace and harmony to our land.

The guests were satisfied with the work of the educator, who taught children artistic creativity, the children showed their skills. Here also special attention is paid to needlework. Educators teach little girls to work with needle, to embroider, make dolls, small different national souvenirs. An exhibition of things made by hands of girls and educators was organized. And guests even bought some of them. In addition, the children sang songs and dances for the guests. Guests from Osh who came to take the experience of the maternal schools were satisfied by the work of every school. They were satisfied by work of educators and openly expressed their desire to use their experience in their own work. - Of course, such events will cause the development of parent schools. If there are shortcomings in your work, you learn from others and try to correct them, if you have success in yourself, you will be glad that others are learning from you. Basically, there is a need to hold more events for the exchange of experiences, -said Khaidarova Safia ayim, the head of the ‘Nazik’ maternal school.
