Introduction:

The song:”Jesus Christ the Apple Tree “

1.                 Today we are going to get acquainted with one of the new traditions  of  England -Apple  Day, which  is celebrated on the 21^st of  October or at one of the nearest weekends of the month. In some places it is marked in spring. We are to find out why the English began praising this tree and started a new holiday.

2.                 The holiday is an annual activity which is dedicated   to tasty fruit, orchards and local sights. It has been celebrated since1990. People consider the holiday to be the demonstration of

variety  and riches of our nature. Moreover, they think that it is another way of trying to make people remember that we ourselves are responsible for the health of our planet, that we are capable of making influence on the events that are taking place around us. The main idea of the day is that the apple is a symbol of physical cultural and genetic diversity and we are to remember it.

If you happen to be in London on the Apple Day, you will have a chance to see and taste a lot of different species of apples many of which are sold in the shops. Farmers offer some rare sorts of apple trees and you can try to grow them in your own garden. An apple doctor will help you with his advice in solving any problem of your garden. On this day people plant a lot of trees thus helping to improve the state of environment.

3.                 The apple tree has the most ancient history. It was the apple that caused troubles of Adam and Eve. The apple was the reason for the Trojan war to begin. And it was the apple that helped  Newton to discover the law of  gravity. Juicy apples contain almost all elements of Mendeleyev Table which are necessary for good work of the human organism. Thanks to apples Archimedes discovered the law of hydrostatics.

4.                 In ancient myths the apple is the symbol of knowledge, wisdom and warmth of the Sun. The apple tree is considered to be a sacred tree of God of the Sun-Apollo whose name has the same root with the word apple. Ancient Irish and Scots had the custom of defining of a future husband or a bride by throwing the peel of an apple over his /her shoulder. The shape of a letter the peel took was the first letter of the name of the person who would be a promised wife/husband.

Many people know the ancient legend “The Apple of Discord”. Tsar Pelei and Nereida Phetida did not invite Erida, the goddess of quarrels and arguments, to their wedding. The goddess got furious and, to take revenge, she put a golden apple to the guests stealthily. The apple had an inscription: “To the most beautiful”. Aphrodite, Athena and Gera began to fight for the right to possess the magic fruit. Each wanted to obtain the honor to be called the most beautiful. Aphrodite used cunning. She promised Paris, the Trojan Tsar and the judge in the three goddesses argument, to help him marry the girl he chose. Paris agreed and so Aphrodite won. Later she helped Paris to steal the Spartan Beauty Helen and take her to Troja. Thus it led to the Trojan war.

  A lot of myths are connected with apples and apple trees. According to European   symbolic the apple is a symbol of life. In the folklore of a lot of peoples there are legends connected with fruit of this tree: Greek” Golden Apples”, Celt “Island of Apples” and, of course, the Slav” Molodilnye  Apples”.

5.                 Now we shall listen to some rhymes and poems about the magic fruit and the beautiful music devoted to it.

A little red apple

Hung high in a tree,

I looked up at it

And it looked down at me.

“Come down, please” I called.

And what do you suppose?

That little red apple

Dropped right on  my nose.

Song:

Six little apples are on the tree,

Andy goes up the tree,

Down come three.

Apples, apples, one, two, three,

Apples for you, apples for me.

Apples for big, apples for small,

Apple trees tiny, apple trees tall.

Apples sour, apples sweet,

Apples, apples are nice to eat.

Poem with action:

This is the tree with leaves so green (fingers stretched),

Here are the apples that hang in between ( fists ),

When the wind blows (students blow),

The apples will fall ( motions  made  with hands).

Here is the basket to gather them all.

Song:

Picking apples, picking apples,

One by one, one by one,

Put them in the basket, put them in the basket!

Oh! What fun!  Oh! What fun!

Apples in the attic, apples in the hall,

Apples in the summer, apples in the fall,

Apples make you healthy, apples make you tall.

I will eat some apples. I will eat then all!

Take an apple round and red.

Don’t slice down, slice though instead.

Right inside it you will see

A star  as  pretty as can be.

Take an apple round and red.

 Don’t slice it down, slice through instead.

Look inside and you will see

A  special star for you and me.

Song:

Here we go round the apple tree,

The apple tree, the apple tree .

Here we go round the apple tree

So early in the  morning.

This is the way we plant our seeds,

Plant our seeds, plant our seeds

This is the way we plant our seeds

So early in the morning.
