Учащимся предлагают присесть. Школьник из России интересуется Красным маком, прикрепленным к одежде школьника из Великобритании.

Russian pupil: What does this flower symbolize?

Школьники из Великобритании представляют историю Красного мака:

Pupil1:We will tell you about our symbol of memory!

If you find yourself in England in November, you will certainly pay attention to the fact that many Britons wear red paper poppies on their chests.

Pupil 2: On this day veterans with all residents of Britain as well as guests of the country lay flowers and wreaths on the steps of the Cenotaph. At 11 am people stop talking for 2 minutes.

Pupil 3: Even well known figures and serious politicians appear in public with paper flowers on lapels. At this time, poppies are distributed on the streets as a symbol of memory of the dead soldiers in the First World War. You ask: Why red poppies?

Pupil 4: At the end of 1914, the territories of northern France and Flanders were trampled, while the First World War was already raging in the heart of Europe. Everything was destroyed. And only persistent poppy flowers made their way through the trampled soil. The true value to the poppy flowers as a symbol of memory of the fallen soldiers was given by Canadian surgeon John McCray, who has written the poem «In Flanders fields». Let`s listen to it!

Pupil 5:

In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Russian pupil: We have such symbol in Russia too.

Школьники из России рассказывают историю Георгиевской ленты (одевают костюмы):

1: There are many legends about it, we will tell you one of them.
2: This happened a long time ago. The legend is called "Saint George and The Dragon". There was one City and just outside the City there was a large smelly pond where a dragon lived. Whenever the dragon breathed on a person or an animal, they died and he threatened to kill every citizen.

1: The people had no choice but to come to terms with the dragon. They agreed to give him one person every month, so long as he left the others alone and unharmed for the rest of the time.

3: But how were they to decide which person to sacrifice?

1: The king decreed:

King: The names of every citizen should be scratched onto pieces of pottery, and kept in a great urn. Each month, one of the names will be drawn out of the urn, and that person will be given to the dragon.

2: One day, the name of the princess was shaken out of the urn.

King: “Oh, My dear, I shall never see your wedding day.”

3: The day has arrived, she must meet her fate!

(появляетсяГеоргий)

George: Why is such a beautiful young woman looking so sad on her wedding day?

3: Because according to the law, she must this day marry the dragon who lives in that lake, and her wedding gift shall be death.”

George: Let me slay the dragon.

1: But nobody has stood a fighting chance against such as plague-breathing lizard.

2:George drew out his sword and slew the dragon. Then the people knew that from then on they could live safe and unharmed.
