Children Will Forget

Children imitate the sound of a siren and play "air raid". At the suggestion of playing "New Year's Day", one child shouts "no, we won't celebrate, we're at war in Ukraine."
Before falling asleep kids listen to a fairy tale about a mouse kid forced to leave her forest home with her mother. Her father stays behind to protect the forest. Two girls play as a reunion between father and daughter on the playground, embracing and repeating the reunion cry "Daddy".
Children build houses under the various objects: under a swing, under a bench, under a map of another country, in which their parents now live temporarily. The teacher becomes emotional after finishing a story about the mouse, whose friends promise to help rebuild the forest "when it all will end”,and the children comfort her with hugs.
