Teacher: Good afternoon, dear friends! We are glad to see you! Today our lesson is devoted to Easter- the most important Christian holiday in spring. Spring has come, it`s brought a lot of changes. Do you like spring season?
Pupils:Yes, we adore and enjoy spring!
Teacher: Now let`s listen to some pupils who will tell us several poems about spring. Please,(name the pupils) you are welcome!
Pupil 1: Spring, spring, spring!
The trees are green,
Blue skies are seen,
All the birds sing!
Pupil 2: Flowers are in the gardens,
Butterflies are there
Flying round the blossoms
Spring is everywhere!
Pupil 3: Sing a song of May time
Sing a song of spring
Flowers are on their beauty
Birds are on the wing!
Pupil 4: Spring is here, spring is here!
That`s what people say
The birds are flying north again
To wake us every day!
Pupil 5: Spring is here, spring is here!
That`s what people say
We can run and jump again
We put our sleds away!
Pupil 6:Flowers are up,
Mushrooms are up,
The sun dances,
The birds sing!
Pupil 7: What a happy Easter day!
Let`s smile and play,
Eat and drink and have some fun
Under yellow Easter sun!
All pupils together: Welcome to merry Easter!
Teacher:Nice poems! Thank you very much!Now let`s meet spring!
Spring, you are welcome!(На сцене появляется Весна под звуки природы и с венком из весенних цветов на голове).
Spring: Good morning! I am spring! Easter is my holiday. Easter is a symbol of new life and the end of winter.
I`ll make a pretty Easter hat,
To wear it at Easter time.
I`ll put some flowers on it,
And a bow will make it fine.
We`ll fasten on some ribbons
And pretty pink and blue.
Then we`ll take a picture
And I will give it to you!
Teacher: Thank you our wonderful miss Spring! We love your warm weather, the shining sun, marvelous bird singing, and beautiful flowers. Most of all we enjoy celebrating the greatest Christian holiday -Easter Sunday, - The Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Children, can you name the main symbolsand traditions of Easter?
Pupils name Easter symbols and traditions in Russia. Spring adds information about celebrating Easter in Russia and invites everyone to dance in a ring. ( Приложение1).
Teacher:How well-informed you are! Now let us tell you about Easter symbols and traditions in Great Britain.(Выступленияучащихсясопровождаютсяпросмотромпрезентации «Easter symbols and traditions in Great Britain»).Приложение 2.
(Дети ищут спрятанные по классу разноцветные яйца).
Bunny 1: Eggs are an important part of Easter sport. The most popular game is « Egg Rolling».
Bunny 2: We need two teams of 5 pupils. Please, you are welcome!
Bunny 1: Your task is to bring all the eggs to the finish without falling. For one you are to bring only one egg. Take a spoon!
(Дети выходят, становятся в 2 ряда , перед ними 2 ложки и 2 тарелки с яйцами. По команде дети начинают соревноваться под веселую музыку).
Teacher: Thank you! Another symbol of Easter in Great Britain is baking Hot Cross Buns! They are special Easter cakes with a cross on it. The Cross is a symbol of Christ`s victory over death.
Bunny 2: Hot Cross Buns, hot cross buns.
One a penny, two a penny.
Hot Cross Buns.
Give them to your daughters
Give them to your sons
One a penny, two a penny.
Hot Cross Buns. (Shows the picture of Hot Cross Buns).
Teacher : Thank you , dear Bunnies! Now I invite you to make colourful Easter postcards. It is one of Easter traditions.
Teacher : What nice cards you have made, children! You can congratulate your friends and relatives. Please, take your seats.
In Russia we say «Христос Воскрес!» and respond «Воистину Воскрес!». And in Britain they say « Christ is Risen!» and respond
« Indeed, He is Risen!». Let`s congratulate each other in Russian first, and then in English.
