RUSSIAN LANGUAGE SCHOOL “SOLNYSHKO” – SCHOOL TEAM
Marina Mitchenko
My name is Marina. I graduated from St. Petersburg State Pedagogical University. A. I. Herzen, specializing in “Primary school teacher with the right to teach Russian in secondary school” and worked as a school teacher for 9 years. My students were children from 6 to 11 years old.
…
At the Solnyshko school, I teach speech development and the Russian language for children of all ages. Our lessons are interesting and dynamic. They are held in an entertaining way, using various types of activities: sensory exercises, games, dramatizations, fun physical exercises and much more.
I am glad to have the opportunity to try my hand, apply my experience and enthusiasm in the Russian school “Solnyshko” – a large and friendly family, where everyone is passionate about their work.
Olga Efremova (Ph.D. Fellow of the Higher Education Academy, member of the Royal Society of Chemistry)
I came from Novosibirsk (Russia), graduated with a red diploma and a medal from the Ministry of Education and Science for the best student scientific work at the Faculty of Natural Sciences at Novosibirsk State University with a degree in Chemistry. After graduating from university, I did scientific research in three different countries and received a Ph.D. in chemistry. For many years I worked as a lecturer in chemistry at the University of Hull (England), where, in addition to teaching, I also conducted research in the field of chemistry of materials for health care (materials for biosensors and new technologies for the treatment of cancer).
As a person in love with the natural sciences, I try to convey this love for the world that surrounds us to the students of the “Solnyshko” school – after all, childhood is the best age for this! At school, I teach science classes, where I demonstrate to students that everyday objects are, in fact, very interesting objects for research and experimentation.
Anna Ponomareva
I was born and raised in St. Petersburg. Graduated from the St. Petersburg State University. A.S. Pushkin with a diploma with honors and worked at the school for 6 years. I also worked in a summer children’s camp in the USA. In 2007 I moved to England where I live with my family. I have a daughter and I know how important it is to introduce Russian culture to children living abroad and having Russian-speaking parents, and to maintain an interest in the language.
The purpose of my lessons at the school “Solnyshko”: development and enrichment of the current level of the Russian language in children; learning to read and write; improving the grammatical use of words and expressions in colloquial speech; familiarization with classical children’s literature in Russian; instilling interest in Russian culture and Russian national traditions. Lessons are taught using a variety of methods and supporting material in a playful, fun way.
Valeria Hall
My name is Valeria, I come from the Far Eastern capital of Russia – the city of Vladivostok. I have a higher pedagogical education, which I received at the Blagoveshchensk State Pedagogical University. M.I. Kalinin. In 2022, she received her second higher education under the program “Speech therapy for the correction of sound pronunciation. Sound production technologies.”
My total teaching experience with children is 35 years of which 7 years of work with bilingual children.
I have vast experience in organizing and holding summer and winter camps for children, as well as cultural and sports events.
My philosophy is simple: a healthy mind in a healthy body! Mental and physical development complement each other, which is especially important for children of preschool and school age. I can and love working with children. I know how to create an atmosphere of celebration and joy in the classroom, through game and sports exercises aimed at the harmonious and individual development of the child.
At the school “Solnyshko” I work as a teacher-speech therapist and teach speech development. I am very glad to work in a team of like-minded people – highly qualified specialists who have extensive experience working with children and use both traditional and alternative methods to learn the Russian language.
Vera McKenna
I have been with Sunshine since its early days and have been a member of the school’s committee. I am proud of my work, we have a wonderful team and the best students! For me, working at our school is a favorite thing and a hobby.
I have a higher pedagogical education in the specialty “Russian Language and Literature”, I worked at a school for many years. In December 2020, she completed the advanced training course “Peculiarities of teaching Russian as a second language to children.” I also have a degree in librarianship and experience in public and school libraries. Winner of the “Best Librarian of the Year” contest.
At “Solnyshko” I teach Russian language, speech development and Russian as a foreign language, I am a school librarian, photographer, webmaster and web administrator of our school website and Facebook page.
Aida Sedgley
I was born and raised in Russia, graduated from Kazan State University and received additional musical education. For many years, living in Russia, I worked with children: as a counselor in children’s camps, taught children piano lessons and worked as a tutor in various subjects.
I understand very well how important it is to introduce Russian culture to children living in another country, but having Russian-speaking parents, to maintain interest in the Russian language and help prepare for the GCSE exam.
I love my job, I really like working with children of any age, developing them, teaching them to read in Russian, writing, improve their speaking, this allows me to show my knowledge, experience and creativity.
Olga Davies
I was born and raised in St. Petersburg and now live in Liverpool. In 2021, she completed her Master’s degree at the University of Manchester at the Faculty of Arts, Language and Culture with a degree in Translation and Interpretation with honors. After graduating from the university, I had the opportunity to devote more time to teaching, including as a teacher of Russian as a foreign language in general education schools in the UK.
At Solnyshko School I teach Russian for adult students and conduct classes for children aged 11-13 in preparation for the GCSE Russian exam in the general education program of British schools. Classes include the practice of speaking in game and role-playing formats, reading and listening with a test of understanding of the material, written assignments and, of course, repetition and consolidation of grammar knowledge acquired by students in the lower grades of our school.
Another subject that I taught at Sunshine School and hope to resume when we return to face-to-face teaching is Oratory (Rhetoric).
These classes help children develop the skill of speaking correctly, beautifully and confidently using the Russian language. Of course, these skills will be useful to the guys, regardless of the language in which they will need to perform in the future.
In working with students, I use my personal experience of speaking at conferences and translation forums and various methods of preparing a public speech. This subject is of particular interest to me. Having worked as an editor for the Russian-language Discovery Channel for more than five years, I strive to use my experience with actors and texts for voicing television programs to develop children’s skills in correct and competent written and oral speech, as well as speaking to an audience.
Yuliya Krein (Chairman of the Board and Founder of the Russian Language School “Solnyshko”, Ph.D. in Economics)
Having lived in England for more than 20 years, I am a witness to how much has changed in this country and how much more Russian-speaking compatriots have begun to live here and how much support is lacking in the development of the language and cultural identity of the children of these compatriots.
I taught at a British university and taught professional development trainings around the world, so when my children were born, I seriously thought about their education and development. I fanatically attended all kinds of developmental classes not only in the UK, but also in my homeland (while on maternity leave), studied a huge amount of literature and early development methods, communicated closely with teachers – and discovered a vacuum in the quality development of children in Russian in the north of England. For me, it is important not only to learn the language as such, but immersion in the language environment, giving the child the opportunity to understand that he is not the only such bilingual, developing friendly ties between children and adults. Therefore, the idea was born that since I am already working with my close friends on the development of the Russian language and culture in our children, why not create a group and involve other interested parents and children.
Thus, the early development group for parents with children “Solnyshko” was born. My children at that time were 3 and a half years old and 9months. A year later, it was decided to open a full-fledged school of additional education in alliance with talented teachers.
In 2019 I temporarily moved to Saudi Arabia and organized an early development group in Russian for my 3rd child (20 months old at the time).
The school is rapidly growing and developing, so I am mainly involved in administrative activities, organization of the teaching process and strategic development. However, I am also always pleased to replace teachers, if necessary, in teaching, as I enjoy communicating with children, how their eyes light up when comprehending the next truth / overcoming the frontier, and watching how faith in them grows in own strengths.
I believe that one of the biggest and most valuable gifts in life that parents can give their children is the gift of bilingualism and multicultural identity!
Liverpool Architecture HiSoUR – HiSoUR – Hi So You Are
Liverpool architecture has its roots in the development of the city into a major port in the British Empire.
It covers many architectural styles from the last 300 years, while almost nothing of its medieval structures remains that date back to the 13th century. Erected 1716-18, Bluecoat Chambers has to be the oldest surviving building in central Liverpool.
There are over 2,500 listed buildings in Liverpool, of which 27 are Grade I and 85 Grade II*. It has been described by English Heritage as the finest Victorian town in England. However, due to neglect, some of the best listed properties in Liverpool are on the Heritage at Risk register.
In keeping with Liverpool’s role as a trading port, many of its finest buildings have been erected as the headquarters of shipping companies and insurance companies. The resulting wealth thus led to the construction of large civic buildings designed to enable local administrators to “rule the city with pride”.
The historical significance and value of Liverpool’s architecture and port location were recognized when large parts of the city were declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2004.
Known as the ‘Liverpool Maritime Trade City’, the nomination documents highlight the city’s role in the development of international trade and docking technology, summarized in this way in Selection Criteria iv: ‘Liverpool is an outstanding example of a world port city representing the early development of global trade and cultural ties throughout the British Empire”.
Chronology and styles
Medieval
Liverpool’s origins date back to the 11th century, although nothing remains of the city’s medieval architecture today. Probably the earliest monument in Liverpool would have been Liverpool Castle which was built between 1232 and 1235 by William de Ferrer. The oldest surviving building in the city is likely to be the Stanlave Grange at Aygburt, a 13th century Collegiate Monastery. Frequent changes throughout its history mean that little remains of the original building, although parts of it are believed to date from 1291. Despite the absence of many physical remnants of this period, the city’s medieval history is still evident in the street patterns around Liverpool City Hall, where all seven of the original city streets have remained roughly in the same position today.
Tudor and Elizabeth
Like medieval architecture, few remains of Tudor and Elizabethan architecture remain in Liverpool. Speke Hall, which is located in the south of the city, is a Tudor estate that dates back to the 16th century. It was completed in 1598, although most of the building dates from much earlier in this century. It is one of the few remaining wooden Tudor houses in the north of England and is notable for its Victorian interiors.
Another large manor house from this period is Croxteth Hall, the ancestral home of the Molyneux family. Dating back to 1575, only one wing of the building dates from this period, with most of the house completed during the 18th and 19th centuries. Thus, the building combines various architectural styles, including Elizabethan, Queen Anne and Georgian.
Stuart
Several buildings from the Stuart era are found in Liverpool today, the oldest of which is the Tubruk house dating from 1615. The ancient chapel of Toxteth also belongs to this period and probably began around 1618.
The building today is Grade I and still serves its original purpose as a Unitarian chapel.
One of the most notable remaining buildings is Woolton Hall, a Grade I homestead located in the south of the city. The hall, built for the Molyneux family, is intended to be a Palladio villa and built from red sandstone from a local quarry at Woolton.
Mainly built in 1716-17, but with additions almost immediately needed, Bluecoat Chambers is the oldest surviving building in Liverpool city centre. Designed in the Queen Anne style, following the tradition of Christopher Wren, it houses the Liverpool Blue Coat School. After the school moved to new premises in 1906, Bluecoat’s cell faced the possibility of being demolished several times. After war damage in 1941, the reconstructed building was listed at 1952 year.
Georgian
The city’s expansion into an international seaport from the 17th century and subsequent transatlantic trade, especially slaves, brought wealth to Liverpool.
Over time, this wealth manifested itself in several elegant town houses, many of which still survive.
Liverpool Town Hall was built between 1749 and 1754 to the design of John Wood, an elder, who replaced the earlier town hall. It was greatly expanded and modified by James Wyatt from 1785. Its sumptuous interiors are highly valued examples of late Georgian architecture. The stock exchange and the city’s financial district are set up just behind this building, demonstrating the close ties between local government and commerce.
Our Lady and St Nicholas Anglican Church is the parish church of Liverpool. This colossal “sailor’s church” fame has existed along the coastline since 1257. The present building, designed by Thomas Harrison, was begun in 1811 after the catastrophic destruction of the old tower. Although Harrison’s tower is still original, the main body of the church has been restored after World War II damage.
Some of Liverpool’s landmarks are mostly known for their weirdness, such as the Williamson Tunnels, which are architecturally unique as the world’s largest underground folly.
Neoclassical
Liverpool has a rich tradition of neoclassical architecture running through Georgian law until the end of the Victorian period. Some of the first early examples are Thomas Harrison’s Lyceum (1802), Edmund Aikin’s Wellington Rooms (1815-16, a Grade II building now at risk in “very bad condition”) and John Foster’s Oratory (1829) ). It is also impressive that I have listed the Bank of England building built by Charles Robert Cockeller between 1845-1848.
A unique ensemble of high Victorian neoclassical buildings around William Brown Street has been named the city’s “Cultural Quarter”. It houses the William Brown Library and Museum (opened 1860, now housing the Liverpool World Museum and Liverpool Central Library), the Picton Cornelius Sherlock Library (1879) and the Walker Art Gallery by Sherlock and H. H. Wahl (1877). Not strictly neoclassical in design and much closer to Beaux-Arts architecture, County Sessions House (1884) next to Walker fits into its more playful classical vocabulary.
Dominating the area, the magnificent George’s Hall was built 1841-54 to designs by Harvey Lonsdale Elmes and completed by CR Cockerell. It served various civic functions, including the concert hall and the city’s courts. Linked to the ancient Roman SPQR, its doors are inscribed with the letters SPQL (the initials for the Latin phrase Senatus PopulusQue Liverpudliensis – “the Senate and people from Liverpool”). Together with its majestic architecture in the mid 19century proclaims the municipal pride and ambition of the city. Also nearby are Wellington’s Column and Statle Fountain.
Victorian
Docks are central to Liverpool’s history, with Albert Dock being the most famous. Designed by Jesse Hartley and constructed from cast iron, brick and stone, it provides the world’s first enclosed, non-combustible warehouse storage system. Restored in the 1980s, Albert Dock has the largest collection of Grade I listed buildings in the UK. Part of the old dock complex is now home to the Merseyside Maritime Museum (ERIH Anchor Point, European Industrial Heritage Route), the International Slavery Museum and Tate Liverpool.
Other dock system relics include the Stanley Dock Tobacco Warehouse, which at the time of its construction at 1901 was the largest building in the world by area and is still the world’s largest brick hall.
Peter Ellis was an obscure architect and civil engineer who nonetheless designed the groundbreaking Oriel Chambers (1864) on Water Street as “one of the first office buildings clad in glazed curtains” in the backyard. In anticipation of its time, the building was heavily criticized in The Builder of 16 June 1866 as “a large agglomeration of protruding lamellar vesicles”, “an enormous abortion” without any aesthetic qualities. In all likelihood, however, it was studied by the young John Welborn Root, who spent some time in Liverpool to avoid the American Civil War when the Ellis building was completed. Root took some of Ellis’s ideas back to America, where he later became an important architect for the Chicago School of Architecture. Therefore, Oriel Chambers played an important role in the development of the skyscraper.
Ellis’s only other notable building, 16 Cook Street, Liverpool, dates from 1866 and also has a backyard curtain.
Born in Eigburg, Liverpool, architect Alfred Waterhouse set up a practice in Manchester and later in London. He achieved national fame for a large number of mostly institutional, commercial and educational buildings throughout England. He also designed several structures for his hometown including the Liverpool Victoria Building at the University of Liverpool completed in 1892. Waterhome’s use of striking red brick and tiles as building materials for its exterior inspired Edgar Allison Pierce, a Spanish professor at Liverpool, and then apply it jointly to six newly established institutions of higher learning in some of England’s major industrial cities. Another important Waterhouse complex is the Liverpool Royal Infirmary (1886-92).
Victorian Liverpool is home to famous places of worship: St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church (built in neo-Byzantine style of architecture), Gustavus Adolphus Church (Swedish sailors’ church, reminiscent of Scandinavian styles) and the Welsh Presbyterian Church.
Having a Jewish community since the mid-18th century, Liverpool has several synagogues. The first class, which I have named the Moorish Revival-style Princes Road Synagogue, is architecturally most important. Two other Orthodox synagogues are in the Allerton and Childwall area, which has a significant Jewish community. Many of Liverpool’s suburbs have Gothic Revival churches, both Church of England and Roman Catholic. These include St. Agnes Church and St. Pancras, Toxteth Park by John Loughborough Pearson; Church of St John the Baptist by George Frederick Bodley; All Saints Church, Allerton George Enoch Grayson; St Mary’s Church, West Derby, by George Gilbert Scott; Church of St. Margaret of Antioch along George Edmund Street; Church of St Matthew and St James, Paley and Austin’s Mosley Hill, St Oswald’s Church, Augustus Pugin’s Old Swan; Church of St. Clare, Liverpool, Leonard Stokes; Church of Saint Francis Xavier by Joseph John Skoles.
Hope Street Philharmonic Dining Halls not only have a striking exterior and elaborate interior decor, but are also notable for their ornate Victorian lavatories, which have become a tourist attraction in their own right.
20th century
The sale of George’s former dock in 1902 provided the basis for the development of Pier Head. The ensemble of three administrative buildings currently built is today the best recognized landmark of Liverpool. Much later (around 2000) they were called “Three Graces” from north to south:
The Royal Cave Building (1908-11), topped by two bronze domes with a bird bird (symbol of Liverpool) on each.
Cunard Building (1914-17), former headquarters of the Cunard Shipping Company.
Port of Liverpool Building (1903-07), home of the former Mersey Docks and Harbor which governed the city’s docks.
In front of these buildings at the water’s edge are memorials to the soldiers of the merchant marine who left the port during both world wars. Memorials to the British sailors, the Norwegians, the Dutch and the thousands of Chinese sailors who manned the British ships came together. Perhaps most interesting is the Chinese memorial to the people forcibly deported from the city after World War II and the families they left behind.
Liverpool’s wealth as a port city has allowed the construction of two huge cathedrals since the 20th century. The Anglican Cathedral, which was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, and plays host to the annual Liverpool Shakespeare Festival. It has one of the longest naves, the largest organs and the heaviest and highest peaks of bells in the world. The Roman Catholic Cathedral on Mount Pleasant next to Liverpool’s Science Park was originally planned to be even larger. Of Edwin Lutyens’ gigantic original design, only the crypt was completed before it was abandoned in favor of Frederick Gibberd’s simpler design. While it is on a smaller scale than the Lutyens scheme, it still manages to include the largest stained glass panel in the world. The road between the two cathedrals is called Hope Street, a coincidence that pleases the faithful. The Metropolitan Cathedral is also called “Paddy’s Lodge” because of its shape and the huge number of Irish people who worked on its construction and live in the area.
In the south of the city, the former shopping terminal at Speke Airport, used between the 1930s and 1986, has been adapted for use as a hotel and is now the Crowne Plaza Liverpool John Lennon Airport. Speke was the first provincial airport in the UK to open in 1933, and its rebuilt terminal has been described as “still the most consistent example of the first generation of purpose-built airports left in Europe”. The terraces from which fans cheered home were saved by the Beatles.
The Adelphi Hotel on Ranelagh Street is the most famous hotel in Liverpool and was very popular in the days when luxury liners crossed the Atlantic when it was described as the great Cunard liner stuck in the middle of the city. Liverpool was Charles Dickens’ favorite city after London, and Adelphi was his favorite hotel in the world. A television documentary series “fly-on-the-wall” was made on him and his staff.
Renshaw Street has a new alternative mall, Grand Central Hall, which not only has great exterior architecture but also has a lot to offer inside, such as the metalwork and ceiling on the ground floor and the fantastic domed ceiling of Roscoe Hall.
It was built in 1905 under the leadership of the Methodist Church as a cinema with 2000 seats. The original Roscoe Hall organ still remains and is a listed item, although recent purchases of a store in the hall have somewhat overshadowed the performance.
Radio City Tower (also known as St. John’s Lighthouse) is a radio observation tower built in 1969 and opened by Queen Elizabeth II. Standing 452 feet (138 meters) high, it was the tallest free-standing structure in Liverpool for decades.
Located on Chapel Street next to St Nicholas Church and next to Pier Head, the Atlantic Tower Hotel opened in 1972 and was designed to resemble the prow of a ship to reflect Liverpool’s maritime history.
The largest of the three mosques in Liverpool is the Al Rahma Mosque in Toxteth.
The newly renovated Art Deco Engen Park Archaeological Library (1936) registered in Greenbank Park has recently closed and is now at risk in a ‘bad’ condition
21st century
Liverpool’s early 21st century architecture is dominated by the city’s ambition to become European Capital of Culture in 2008.
This ambition led to its designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2004, as well as plans to redevelop Mann Island, in the area between Albert Dock and Pier Head. Beating illustrious competitors such as Richard Rogers, Norman Foster and Edward Cullinan, in 2002 Will Alsop won the site’s so-called Fourth Grace competition and received the go-ahead for The Cloud. However, by 2004 the project was canceled and alternatives were sought.
The quay in front of the Cunard building was eventually taken over by the Pier Head ferry terminal, which won the 2009 Carbuncle Cup for “the ugliest building in the UK completed in the last 12 months”. The Liverpool Museum by Danish architects 3XN took another waterfront position next to the Port of Liverpool building and opened in 2011, while Broadway Malyan filled the Fourth Grace lot with its banal Mann Island Buildings (2008-12). Both projects were also included in the Carbuncle Cup list in 2011 and 2012 respectively. Mann Island Buildings also worried about some sheltered views of the Three Graces.
Other newly built buildings in the docking areas include the Echo Arena Liverpool and the BT Convention Center which officially opened on 12 January 2008 at Queen’s Dock, south of Albert Dock and West Tower (2005-07), northeast of Pier -Head, which at 40 floors is currently the tallest building in Liverpool but will soon dwarf the planned skyscrapers of Liverpool Waters. Situated in the northern wharves, the redevelopment of Liverpool Waters has brought Liverpool’s newly acquired ‘World Heritage’ status under scrutiny. Consequently, in 2012, “Liverpool – Maritime Mercantile City” was placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in Danger.
In recent years, a number of creative architectural practices have been responsible for a number of innovative projects aimed at revitalizing the city’s unused architectural fabric. Notable, award-winning projects include the Greenland Street Gallery for Foundation A and the Toxteth TV building. Both of these projects were designed by Liverpool Design North Union.

“In Liverpool, I saw long Chinese masonry walls, huge stones, and a row of granite windows completely closed, and many of them communicated, almost reminiscent of the wonderful American chain of lakes: Ontario, Erie, St. Clare, Huron, Michigan and Superior. The extent and strength of these structures seemed equal to what I had read about the old pyramids of Egypt… In size, value and durability, the docks of Liverpool, even today, surpass all others in the world… For many miles you can walk on this river passing the dock after the pier, like a chain of huge fortresses … “Herman Melville, Redburn – his first voyage, 1849

Buildings never completed
In the 1920s, the Catholic Archdiocese of Liverpool conceived an authentic Brobdingan Cathedral that was larger than St. Peter’s, Rome, and commissioned the architect Edwin Lutyens to make the concept a reality. This would take 200 years. The Great Depression, World War II and the subsequent economic downturn in Liverpool meant that this was never realized – only the crypt was completed, and at 19In the 60s, Frederick Gibberd created another, cheap, but innovative creation that sits on top of the Luthien crypt – the Metropolitan of Liverpool.
Abandoned Liverpool
Many of the fine buildings in Liverpool have fallen into disrepair, but have not quite abandoned the unequal struggle with Nature, or even been restored. Several authors have noted the Piranesian quality of such sites, including the Williamson Tunnels, St. Andrew’s Church, Dingle railway station, Lower Duke Street, St.
