in history as “William the Conqueror” became king of the whole England.
- Pupil
5 In the 14thcentury the Civil War between two branches of the royal
family took place the Yorkists and Lancastrians known as the War of the Roses.
- Pupil
6 It ended when Henry Tudor married Elizabeth of York. Two rival families
united.
- Pupil
7 From this time the Tudor rose is the traditional floral emblem of England.

На сцену выходят 8 детей в национальных
костюмах, килтах. На груди у каждого эмблема “ Clan MacNeil”.
Pupil1 Our Scottish pride we shall
not hide
Pupil 2 Our Scottish race we shall not disgrace
Pupil 3 Our Scottish blood flows hot and true
Pupil 4 Our Scottish people, we will stand by you
Pupil 5 Through thick and thin till the day we die
Pupil 6 Our Scottish flag always stands so high
Pupil 7 We shout this poem louder than the rest
Pupil 8 Cause everyone knows, we Scottish are the best.
Pupil 1 The Scottish Thistle.
The thistle is the national emblem of Scotland. It has been
the national emblem since it was adopted by King James III, in the 15th
century.
Pupil 2 There is a legend, that in the 8th century, an
army of invading Danes were creeping up at night to attack the Stirling Castle,
the ancient seat of the Scottish kings.
Pupil 3 The Danes took off their shoes so as to make the
least noise possible. But one of them stepped on a thistle and let out a yell
of pain.
Pupil 4 The noise alerted the Scots, who rushed out of
the castle and defeated the Danes in the battle that followed.
Pupil 5 Scottish Clans and Tartans
One of the first things, that people associate with Scotland
is the kilt. It is worn only by men and it is a relic of the time when the clan
system existed in the Scottish Highlands.
Pupil 6 The clan was like a very large family and
everyone had the same family name, like MacGregor (mac means “son of”.)
Pupil 7 The clan had its particular territory and was
governed by a chieftain. Each clan had its own tartan, which both men and women
wore.
Pupil 8 Modern machine-made tartans are different from
the ones, worn by clans long ago, as the secret of the old fabrics is lost.
Now WALES will tell about herself.
One by one
several characters in costumes appear on the stage. The national Welsh songs
are played.
Pupil
1. Welsh Mummy. I’m the Welsh Mummy, mother of all Wales. My image represents
a married woman who is good-natured and open-hearted, a caring mother and a
loving wife.
Pupil 2. A tree. I’m the oldest tree
in the world. I’m 5 000 years old. I saw the beginning of the country by
the Celtic tribes.
Pupil 3. The Red Dragon. I’m the red
dragon. I’m the national symbol of Wales. I’m standing for the national
interests of Wales. I have been struggling with the White Dragon of France.
Pupil 4. An American. Are you puzzled
to see me here? Yes, I’ve come from America. Long ago when America was the
British colony we wanted to be free. It was me who decided to fight for our
freedom. And the most interesting fact is that I’m Welsh by the origin.
Pupil 5. Leek. Hi, I’m a leek. Long
long ago the king ordered the Welsh to attach leek on their helmets, so that
they could find themselves on the battlefield. Later the leek became the symbol
of Wales.
Pupil 6. The Flag. I’m the Flag of
Wales. I have the picture of Red Dragon on the green field. Red dragon was the
battle standard of King Arthur. Britains didn’t put me on the Union Jack. It is
not Fair.

longest word on the British Isles and I’m proud that I’m Welsh. Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch
is a large village on
the island of Anglesey in Wales. This word consists of 58 letters.
The National Anthem of Wales is on.

IRELAND completes our contest of ACQUAINTANCE.
IRELAND
На
сцену выходят 6 учеников.
Pupil 1. Ireland is a country of many
names. It is called Eire and the Emerald Island, the Land of Saints and Inis
Fail, Hibernia and Scotia.
Pupil 2. An
old Celtic name for Ireland is Inis Fail. It means Island of Destiny (остров судьбы). First settlers of Ireland brought a mystical stone
to the island called Lia Fail|. This pillar stands on the Hill of Tara - a
sacred place for Irish kings. When a chosen king was crowned, he touched the
stone and it began to roar if the king was rightful.
Pupil 3.
Ireland was named Scotia till the 11th century. It means “dark”, “misty”. When
St.Patrick arrived in Ireland in the 5th century he called its people Scottii.
Then this name was more frequently used for their Highland cousins.
Pupil 4. Nowadays
Ireland is divided into two parts: Ulster - northern provinces. It is known as
Northern Ireland. Its Capital is Belfast; and Eire - southern provinces - the
Republic of Ireland. Its capital is Dublin.
Pupil 5.
Eire is borrowed from the name of the Irish goddess Erin. Erin is a very
popular girlish name not only in Ireland, but in the United States, Canada and
Australia as well.
Pupil 6.
Irish people speak Gaelic Irish - an old Celtic language. They call themselves
Eireannaigh.

Pupil 1. Christianity
first came to Ireland between the 3d and the 5th centuries. While much of
Europe was plunging in the Dark Ages, Ireland served a beacon of light, the
land of art, literature and culture.
Pupil 2.
Ireland’s most prominent patron saint, St.Patrick, was brought as a slave to
Ireland from Wales in the 5th century. He converted pagans to Christianity,
performed magic and miracles. He banished (прогнал) all snakes from Ireland.
Pupil 3.
St.Patrick explained the Holy Trinity with a shamrock. The God is one as a
stem, and he is three persons as a three-leaf plant - Godfather, God-Son and
the Holy Spirit. That’s why the symbol of Ireland is the Shamrock.
Pupil 4.
St.Patrick’s Day is a national holiday. It is observed on the 17th of March.
Everything is green on that day: faces, clothes, food, drinks and even
ice-cream.
Pupil 5. The
annual parade begins with the march of different unusual creatures. Irish
people have inhabited their country with giants, elfs, fairies, dwarfs and
leprechauns.
Pupil 6. I’m
Finn McCool - an Irish Giant. I live near the town of Antrim. I have built the
Giant’s Causeway|, a road, to reach my girlfriend Jenny in Scotland. I enjoy
fighting with Scottish giants. One day I made Lough Neagh by scooping up a
clod of earth. I threw it at the Scottish giant but missed. The clod landed in
the Irish Sea where it made the Isle of Man.
Pupil 7. My
name is Artemis Fawl. I’m a leprechaun, a tiny elf. I usually make and mend
shoes for fairies and look after underground treasures - gold, diamonds,
rubies and emeralds.

Pupil 1 William Wallace was one of
the greatest patriots in the history of Scotland. We know very little about
his life, only a brief period of his rebellion, victory, defeat and execution.
Pupil 2 He was one of Scotland’s national heroes, leader
of the Scottish resistance forces from English rule. In 1297 Wallace and a band
of some 30 men burned Lanark and killed its English sheriff.
Pupil 3 Wallace then organized an army of commoners and
small landowners and attacked the English garrisons between the rivers Forth
and Tay.
Pupil 4 He captured the Stirling Castle and Scotland was
free of occupying forces.
Pupil 5 Scotland is proud of its outstanding
personalities, as they glorified their homeland and contributed greatly to the
development and prosperity of their country.

Sir Walter Scott was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on August

the folk tales and the legends of his native Scotland.

«Quentin Durward», «Count Robert of Paris». In 1829-1830 he published the two
volumes of the «History of Scotland». He is considered to be one of the most
influential Scots In the history of the country.
Pupil 9 Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) is one of the
most popular Scotland writers. He is famous for his novel about the adventures
of Sherlock Holmes and Dr.Watson.
Pupil 10 Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh. The
talent of story-telling Arthur inherited from his mother and it helped him as a
writer. In 1887 he published his first detective story ”A Study in Scarlet”.
The main characters were Sherloсk Holmes and Dr.Watson. They became he most
popular characters of a great many of Conan Doyle`s stories.
Pupil 11 Nowadays tourists coming to London always go to
visit Baker street to see the house where Sherloсk Holmes lived.
Pupil 12 Robert Louis Stevenson was a famous Scottish
writer. He was born in Edinburgh in the nineteenth century. He was an
author more than forty books. Some of them are: “The Black Arrow”, “Kidnapped”
and “Treasure Island”. And he also wrote a lot of poems. I would like to
recite my favourite one.
An English Breeze
Up with the sun the
breeze arose,
Across the talking
corn she goes,
And smooth she
rustles far and wide
Through all the
talking country side.
Through all the land
her tail she tells;
She spins, she
tosses, she compels
The kites, the
clouds, the windmill sails
And all the trees in
all the dales.
