ДЕНЬ ПОДЯКИ

Почуття вдячності лікує... Так стверджують навіть лікарі. Культура вдячності з давніх давен була традицією у багатьох країнах світу. Кожен четвертий четвер листопада у США традиційно святкують День подяки. Це одне з найпопулярніших свят у країні. Про це свято говорили 28.11.2019р. і в нашому освітньому закладі. Учителі англійської мови та учні старших класів Піщанської гімназії підготували та провели чудовий захід "Історія походження Дня подяки". Волонтер Скотт поділився своїм досвідом, розповів про традиції святкування саме в його родині та провів цікаві ігри та конкурси.

«THANKSGIVING DAY»

Dear boys and girls! Dear guests! We are here to celebrate a wonderful holiday - Thanksgiving Day. Happy Thanksgiving Day to you!

Thanksgiving Day comes on the 4th Thursday in November. It is a legal holiday celebrated throughout the United States. People of all faiths celebrate this holiday. They give thanks for the many good things in their lives.

On Thanksgiving Day, families come together for a special dinner (feast). Turkey with stuffing is the main dish. It is served with mashed potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Apple cider is the drink of the day.

Football is the most popular game on this day. For many schools, the Thanksgiving Day game is the most important one of the year. Stores, classrooms, and homes are decorated with turkeys, pilgrims, Indians, wreaths of dried flowers and vegetables.

Charitable organizations serve dinner to needy people. They also send baskets of food to elderly and sick.

And now we are going to show you a performance about the history of Thanksgiving Day. Your task is to be very careful and support us! So……LET’S GO!!!!

Pilgrims: Thank you very much!

Father: The first winter was a terrible time. The Pilgrims were hungry, sick and cold. Many people died.

Son: Why did they die?

Mother: because it was cold December….

Daughter: And what happened next?

Father: Then the Native Americans, the Indians, helped the Pilgrims.

Pilgrim: It’s too cold. I am afraid we will not survive here.

Pilgrims: We have nothing to eat. Many people have died and many are sick. What shall we

Стук у двері.

Pilgrims: Thank you!!

The 2nd Indian: You are welcome here! We will teach you how to plant corn and hunt!

Pilgrim: Oh! Thank you very much! You saved us from the death! We’ll never forget you!

Pilgrims: Thank you, our friends!

Father: Spring came. Indians taught the Pilgrims to plant corn, to build houses, to hunt, to fish. In other words - how to survive in America.

Indian: We’ll teach you how to plant corn, build houses, hunt and fish. Our land is very rich.

Pilgrim: Thanks! We’ll pray for you! We’ll be good pupils.

Father: The crops did well, and in the fall (autumn) of 1621 the Pilgrims had a great harvest. They were very thankful and decided to celebrate with a feast. The Pilgrims invited the Indian friends to share this Thanksgiving feast.

Pilgrim: We have great harvest this year! The land here is rich and the GOD blessed us!

Pillgrim 2: We have to be thankful for Indians! They saved our lives and taught us to hunt and to plant a crop! Let’s make a feast and invite them for it!

Pillgrims: It’s a great idea!!!

Pilgrim: Dear friends, we invite you to our feast! We appreciate your help and what you did for us!

Pilgrim: We have great harvest! You taught us and saved in bad times.

Pilgrim: Come with us and let’s celebrate!

Pilgrim: Welcome to our Thanksgiving feast! We are grateful to you for many things. But the main is: you helped us when we suffered greatly.

Pilgrim: And we’ll never forget those days!

Всі сідають за святковий стіл. На столі: індичка (муляж), журавлина, фрукти, кукурудза, пиріг та ін.

The 1st Pilgrim: Thanks a lot! Now let’s have a fun! Let’s sing songs!

Родина підходить до столу і всі разом співають пісню ‘’Little pilgrim’’

Little Pilgrim clothed in gray

on that first Thanksgiving Day.

Natives also clothed in brown,

come to visit Plymouth Town.

Side by side they ate and prayed,

on that First Thanksgiving Day.

Let’s be thankful for this day,

for our friends and our play.

Let’s be thankful, let’s be glad,

for our food and the things we have.

Let’s give thanks for you and me,

and our home and family!

HALLOWEEN

24.10.2019p. відвідувачі Англійського клубу поринули у таємничу атмосферу Хелоуіна. Скотт познайомив нас із традиціями цього свята, яке дуже гучно відзначається саме у його рідній країні. Завдяки яскравій атрибутиці, яку переслали для нас батьки волонтера із США, Скотт зумів відтворити усі тонкощі американського святкування Хелоуіна. Діти переглянули фрагмент фільму "The nightmare before Christmas", одягли святкові костюми, прикрасили класну кімнату, розмалювали гарбузи, створювали мумії, брали участь у різних конкурсах. А в кінці свята, вирушаючи додому, промовляли Скотту традиційне "Пригости бо пошкодуєш" ("Trick or treat") та отримували солодощі. Результат свята - море позитивних емоцій! Дякуємо Скотту та його родині!!!
