England is the largest and the richest country of Great Britain. The capital of England is London but there are other large industrial cities, such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester and other famous and interesting cities such as York, Chester, Oxford and Cambridge. Stonehenge is one of the most famous prehistoric places in the world. This ancient circle of stones stands in Southwest England. It measures 80 meters across and made with massive blocks of stone up to four meters high. Why it was built is a mystery.

Not far from Stonehenge stands Salisbury Cathedral. It is a splendid example of an English Gothic Cathedral; inside there is one of four copies of Magna Charta and the oldest clock in England. Chester is very important town in the north-west of England. In the past it was used to be a Roman fort; its name comes from the Latin word castra, meaning "fortified camp". In Chester there is a famous museum which contains over 5000 ancient and modern toys.

Oxford is the home of the oldest university of England. The most famous college is Christ Church. It has a great hall which was built during the reign of Henry VIII and its chapel has become the Cathedral of Oxford. Cambridge is the home of Britain's second oldest university. York was the capital of Northern England. It is one of the best preserved medieval cities of Europe. It was built by Romans, conquered by Anglo-Saxons and ruled by the Vikings. Birmingham is often called the "City of 1,500 trades" because of the great variety of its industries.

PROGRESS OF THE CLASS

I. Introductory part

Children look at pictures with images of clouds (“sad”, “cheerful”, etc.).

Teacher. Guys, look at the clouds that greet us today. What is the mood of the first cloud?

Children. Sad.

Teacher. Use your facial expressions to show the same expression.

Children complete the task.

The teacher asks to name the mood, emotion of all the clouds in the drawings and show these expressions with facial expressions. Children complete the task.

Now let's smile at each other. We are in a good mood and we can hit the road. It was not by chance that we met the clouds!

Listen to the poem.

Tearing shreds of fog,

He emerges from the sea...

Without noticing the gray centuries,

Foggy Albion rises.

That's what England is sometimes called
For the stern, unapproachable appearance.
Its misty beauty

She attracts guests to her...

The English Queen's authority,

Big Ben's important chime.

And London, reflected in the Thames,

Dissolved in a transparent haze...

Guardsmen fur hats,

And the mighty lion on the coat of arms,

And the strength of the white and red rose -

Here are the symbols on the islands.

II. Main part

Teacher. You understand that our trip today is to England or, more precisely, to Great Britain. It is located in the British Isles, surrounded on all sides by water, and separated from the mainland by the English Channel.

The teacher shows England on the map.

This is probably why the weather there changes so often, it drizzles... Why is England called “Foggy Albion”? This is due to the famous English fogs, and also to the fact that the first thing the sailors saw when they discovered the British V a, - huge light rocks appearing from the sea waves and splashes. You could say that fog is an unofficial symbol of England. Imagine that the fog is so thick that you can hardly see anything. What was not visible?

Children. Mountains, lakes, rivers, forests, fields, meadows were no longer visible.

Educator: In the poem you heard the words “London”, “Thames”. What is this?

If the children find it difficult, the teacher reminds them that London is the capital of England, and the Thames is the river on which this city stands. Great Britain is ruled by Queen Elizabeth P.

The British love to grow garden flowers. In the British Isles, daisies, bells, buttercups, clover grow - almost all the flowers that are found in central Russia.

The teacher shows pictures of wild and garden flowers or artificial flowers.

Let's collect two bouquets: put garden flowers in one vase, and meadow (wild) flowers in the other.

Children come to a table with vases and flowers and make bouquets.

Yes, guys, we got beautiful bouquets. If fog is an unofficial symbol of England, then what are its official symbols?

Children. Flag, coat of arms, anthem.

Teacher. There is a red rose in a bouquet of garden flowers. It serves as the unofficial flower symbol of England, and not only because this flower is so beautiful. In ancient times, representatives of two noble families fought for the English throne. The symbol of one kind was a white rose, and the other - a red one. As a result, the representative of the “red rose” genus won. Having sat on the throne of England, he proclaimed the red rose as the symbol of the country. True, in order not to detract from the significance of another kind, the red rose’s center and stamens were left white, i.e. it is, in fact, not red, but red and white. The white stamens are closer to the base, symbolizing the base, and the red petals are further from the base and symbolize the victory of one of the genera.

Breathing exercise "Rose"

Teacher. Let's smell the beautiful rose.

The breathing exercise is performed while standing. First, children take a deep breath through their noses, without raising their shoulders, as if smelling a rose, trying to draw in all its aroma, then exhale as much as possible through their mouths.

Since there are quite a lot of sports that originated in England, the teacher can choose the number of stories he sees fit.

Sport occupies an important place in the life of the British. England is the birthplace of many sports: boxing, football, tennis, golf, polo, badminton, rugby. A little about the history of these sports.

Football is by far the most popular sport. The British play it everywhere: in parks, on playgrounds and sports grounds. The name “football” comes from two words: “foot” - foot and “ball” - ball. In the old days in England, this game was a fight for the ball in the streets. The authorities waged a stubborn war against football. Even royal orders were issued banning the game. And later, when the rules were developed, football became an organized popular game that conquered the whole world. On what ground do they play football? What equipment is needed?

The teacher shows a picture of football field. The children answer.

Today there is also women's football. What are these athletes called?

Children. Football players.

Teacher. In England there appeared such a sport as badminton One duke returned from a trip to India to his estate, which was called Badminton, and brought rackets and a shuttlecock. It was also in India, a colony of Britain, that this game was popular. The name of the game - badminton - comes from the name of the estate. Later, the rules of the game were invented.

Another popular sport is golf. There is a legend that a shepherd was wandering through the fields, hit a round stone with a stick and accidentally rolled it into a rabbit hole. He was then joined by other shepherds who liked the new game. Later, rocks were replaced by balls, rabbit holes were replaced by holes, and clubs were used instead of sticks.

Another exciting sport - polo, who came to England in the 19th century. from India. This is a team game. Its participants ride horses with special sticks and try to score goals against the opponent's goal with the ball. Polo is considered a special sport, as it requires complex equipment, and you also need to have your own horse. Therefore, not everyone can practice this sport. On what ground do they play polo? What equipment is needed?

The teacher shows a picture of a polo game. The children answer.

Mention of the game, which is now called "tennis", found back in the Middle Ages. It was played both in the halls and in the open air with leather balls, which were stuffed with sawdust, rags, and grass. Then rubber balls appeared. What kind of balls are they made of?

Children. The balls were made of leather - leather, from rags - rag made of rubber - rubber, from grass - herbal.

Teacher. At first, the ball was hit not with rackets, but with a hand on which a mitten was put on. The people of England were the first to think of using a racket. It was they who called the sport “tennis”. Let's remember what the tennis court is called, what equipment is needed, what form the players wear, what the name of the sportsman and sportswoman playing tennis is.

The teacher shows a picture of a court, a tennis player and a tennis player.

Children. The area is called a court, you need a net, rackets, balls. Uniform for men - shorts and a T-shirt, for women - a skirt and T-shirt. Athlete - tennis player, athlete - tennis player

Teacher. Table tennis - ping pong - is a purely English invention, and not Chinese, as many people think. This game just became very popular in China. In the old days, the English nobility played tennis under canopies on tables.

England is also the homeland boxing a. At first it was just a fist fight with elements of wrestling - a very dangerous and scary sight. They fought without gloves, with bare hands. Later, certain rules were introduced and modern boxing emerged. Let’s remember what the athletes are called, what venue they perform on, what equipment and uniforms are needed.

The teacher shows pictures of a ring and a boxer. Children complete the task.

Another unusual look sport that arose in the Middle Ages in England - cricket. Its name goes back to the word “stick”. Cricket is believed to have evolved from the ancient games of stick and ball, bat and ball, and catch and ball. This is a sports team game (each team has 11 people) with a ball and bats on an oval-shaped grass field. The game originated in the pastures:

For sheep, where there was low grass, on which it was convenient to roll the ball. It was made from wool or old rags. They defended the gate with a shepherd's stick. The goal of the game is to destroy the opponent's goal with the ball. Cricket is a summer sport, but competitions are now held in winter, with players wearing white suits in any weather.

IN English city Rugby originated the sport of the same name - rugby . This is a team sport. Two teams compete, each of which is represented by fifteen players.

The teacher shows pictures depicting a game of rugby.

The game is played on a rectangular grass field. The game and rugby ball has an oval shape. It is sewn together from four plates; the player's sports uniform includes a rugby T-shirt, shorts, socks and studded boots to prevent the athlete's foot from slipping. Athletes can use additional equipment: a helmet to protect the head, elastic shoulder pads, and leg guards to prevent injuries.

Compiling a story using reference diagrams

Educator: Now tell us about any sport that arose in England according to the scheme.

Children compose a descriptive story about sports using supporting diagrams.

Plan

1. What is the name of the sport?
2. Is it winter or summer?
3. Solo or team?
4. What kind of ground is this sport played on?
5. What equipment and sports equipment are needed?
6. What form do the athletes wear?
7. What movements do they perform?
8. Women's or men's sport? What is the name of a sportsman and a sportswoman?

Plasticetude "Athletes"

Teacher. Imagine that you are athletes.

Children agree among themselves who will pretend to be athletes and who will guess. 1-2 children show the characteristic movements of athletes, and the rest guess.

After exercising, you can also refresh yourself. Let's talk about the British food traditions. English cuisine- solid, simple and nutritious.

The British love a good breakfast. It may consist of oatmeal, scrambled eggs and bacon, fried fish, toast with jam, tea or coffee. The daily meal is called "lunch". On weekdays, meat stew, fried fish, chops, liver, sausages, and vegetables can be served. The British rarely eat rice and pasta. For dessert, apple pie or hot milk pudding is served.

Oatmeal, roast beef, muffins (but not pizza!) –

This is what English cuisine is proud of.

Meet the guests at five o'clock,

To drink your tea with the pudding.

Time to drink tea: the Five o'clock Tea tradition

The British love tea very much. From four to six o'clock in the evening it is time for traditional tea drinking - "fife-o-clock", i.e. "Five o'clock tea" We will also organize a tea party. For this you will need cups. Find the same cups in the picture.

Children find identical cups in the picture.

Guys, what can tea be like in terms of its qualities and properties? Let's choose opposite words.

Children. Tea hot- cold, transparent- opaque dark- light, bitter- sweet.

Teacher. What is the composition of tea?

Children. From herbs - herbal, from chamomile - chamomile, with bergamot - bergamot, with rose hips - rosehip, with currants - currant, with St. John's wort - St. John's wort, from jasmine - jasmine.

Teacher. Traditionally, tea is served with bread, cookies, jams, biscuits, buns, crumpets, lemon, pastries, and cakes. What do the British drink tea with?

Children. They drink tea with toast, with cake, with pastries, with jam, with jam, with lemon.

Teacher. The most interesting question in English tea drinking is: “Tea into milk or milk into tea?” According to an ancient tradition, milk is first poured into a cup, and then the brewed tea.

When talking about the culinary traditions of the British, one cannot help but think of pudding. This is a classic English delicacy: a dessert made from eggs, sugar, milk and flour, cooked in a water bath. Fruits or spices are added to the pudding. In the old days, puddings were made from leftovers from other dishes, which were combined together and covered with, for example, fat or egg. For sweet puddings, which are served for dessert, the filling is usually an egg with milk.

There are a great variety of puddings. Let's figure out what they are. Semolina pudding - semolina, from oats - oat, from rice - rice, from cottage cheese - curd, from berries - berry, with vanilla - vanilla, from eggs - egg, from coconut - coconut, from corn - corn, from milk- lactic, with lemon- whether mono , with coffee - coffee, with nuts - walnut, from carrots - carrot, from apples - apple.

So, we refreshed ourselves. It's time to go. Interesting A peculiarity of England is that traffic moves on the left.

The teacher shows pictures.

They say that this direction of movement developed in England because ancient warriors held weapons in their right hands. In case of meeting with the enemy, it was more convenient for them to be on the left side of the road.

The teacher distributes pictures to the children. You need to draw a line on them - a path in the direction in which the car will go in England and Russia.

Dynamic pause

Children take toy steering wheels and go to the center of the group. Shows how transport moves in England and Russia.

III. Final part

Teacher. Guys, our journey around England will continue. We will visit many more interesting places. On the road we will need an umbrella, because the weather in England is changeable: it often rains and there is fog, but there are no severe frosts. It is not surprising that the most popular item in this country is the umbrella: the weather changes from hour to hour.

The teacher distributes blanks - paper umbrellas, colored pencils. Children color them.

Pictures coloring - English umbrella (rain umbrella)

* * *

I. Introductory part

Teacher. Guys, today we have another journey ahead of us. And where we will go, you will understand by guessing the riddle.

The teacher shows pictures of a red rose, a red telephone booth, a panda, and a red double-decker bus. Children find an extra picture and explain why they chose it.

Children. All other items are red and are associated with England.

Teacher. That's right, but now we will go to the capital of Great Britain - London, the symbols of which are the red bus and telephone booth. So, imagine that we are sitting on a double-decker bus and starting a tour of London.

P. Main part

The teacher shows photographs or slides of London sights. The material is intended for preschoolers, so the story is introductory, not very detailed, conveying the atmosphere of the city.

Teacher. So, we will see the Palace of Westminster, the building of the English Parliament. The Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster is London's most famous landmark. On the clock of this tower there is Big Ben - the largest bell of the palace. It is he who strikes the time every hour. The clock in the Clock Tower of the Palace of Westminster resembles the Kremlin chimes on the Spasskaya Tower in Moscow. We will see Trafalgar Square, the London National Gallery, the Tower, which was both a palace and a fortress, and a repository of royal jewels, weapons, and a prison, the Tower Bridge over the River Thames (the largest drawbridge, its two wings are raised by a special device when a ship passes along river), Buckingham Palace - the residence of British monarchs.

To get around London faster, we'll take the tube. By the way, the world's first subway line, or as it is called in England - underground, 6 km long, was built in London back in the 19th century. Few people know that the word “metro” was invented by the British.

The thing is that the company that was engaged in the construction of underground railway London was called the Metropolitan Railway. Therefore, at first, residents of Great Britain called the subway “metropolitan”, and then shortened it to “metro”. Unlike other countries, this name did not take root in England. Today Londoners prefer to call the metro “tube” (“pipe”) or “underground” (“underground”).

Pictures will travel with us on the metro train. In the first carriage are those in whose names the given sound appears at the beginning of the word, in the last - those in whose names it appears at the end, in the middle - in the names of which this sound appears in the middle of the word.

The teacher places a cardboard subway train with pockets on the board. Distributes; for children, pictures with the sound whose place in the word must be determined. The teacher decides independently what this sound will be. For example, pictures with sound [s] are offered: in the first carriage there is dog, average - scales, in the last - forest.

In London, on Baker Street, there is interesting museum. Everything that is presented in it belongs to a non-existent person - Sherlock Holmes, a brilliant detective, literary character English writer Conan Doyle. Holmes had an unusual mind and logic, which helped him unravel complex crimes. And today we will develop such qualities in ourselves.

London Zoo is one of the largest and oldest zoos in the world, allowing scientists to engage in research activities. For some time it was undergoing reconstruction, the purpose of which was to build enclosures that would recreate their natural habitat so that the animals would feel more comfortable. For example, on the site of old monkey enclosures, a giant island appeared, which became a habitat for gorillas.

Who is not here! Animals and birds of Africa, reptiles, including lizards, turtles, crocodiles, snakes, butterflies, fish.

The story is accompanied by a display of pictures or slides.

We will not only look at the inhabitants of the zoo, but also develop attention and thinking.

The teacher distributes pictures to the children depicting birds, insects and animals.

Look at the pictures: the zoo inhabitants fled. We will help scientists distribute them among the pavilions. Circle all the insects, the birds with an oval, and the animals with a square.

The teacher shows the children pictures depicting animal body parts (the head of a lion, crocodile, penguin, elephant tail, ostrich paws, etc.).

Find all the animals and birds in the picture and say whose body parts you see.

Children. Elephant tail - elephantine tail, head of a crocodile - crocodile head, penguin head - penguin head...

Teacher. So we trained and became as attentive, insightful and smart as Sherlock Holmes. But it's time to move on.

In London there is a famous Madame Tussauds wax museum. His collection includes figures of thousands of great people from all over the world: famous writers, artists, musicians, actors, athletes, politicians. All of them are made of wax and are very similar to their prototypes. These are the talented and skilled craftsmen who make them. And we'll play a game.

Game "Guess what it is"

Children stand in a circle. One child comes to its center and shows some animal or inanimate object, and the rest must guess who or what he represents.

Teacher. London is also a sports capital. There are many sports facilities and grounds here. What sports grounds do you know?

Children. Stadium, court, skating rink, rowing channel, football field.

Teacher. London is a champion for hosting the Olympic Games. They were held here three times, the last time in the summer of 2012. What summer sports do you know?

The children answer.

The athletes' reward is medals. So we will have unusual medals that we will play with.

Game "Medals"

The teacher chooses words with consonants that are already familiar to the children. Option 1

Children are awarded blue and green medals with numbers. I need to come up with a word with a sound (hard - blue or soft - green) with a certain number of syllables in accordance with the numbers on the medal and its color. For example, work is carried out with the sounds [p] and [p"]. A child who has a green medal with the number 1 calls the word “feast”, a child who has a green medal with the number 2 “pirate” calls the word “train”. Etc.

Option 2 (outdoor game)

Children are randomly divided into two teams - “blue” and “green”, and put blue and green elastic bands on their hands. The teams form a line. At the teacher’s signal, participants begin to run to tables on which there are pictures with soft or hard sounds, for example: [р], [р"], [л], [л"], etc. Each child chooses a picture with exactly the sound (soft or hard) that corresponds to his command, and quickly returns back.

The team that completes the task faster wins. Teams present their pictures, the rest check the correctness of the tasks. Each team member counts the syllables in the word-name of the picture, and the teacher “awards” the participants with a suitable medal. For example, if a child has a picture with the image of a rocket (we are talking about the sounds [r] and [r"]), then he is awarded a blue medal with the number “1”, and if with a picture of a turnip - a green medal with the number “2”, etc. d.

Teacher. You can also visit the Natural History Museum, where the evolution of living beings is presented, starting with dinosaurs, and go to the Royal Botanical Garden.

Skyscraper with the unusual name St. Mary Aix, 30 has an unusual mesh design. Decorated with green glass and having an oblong shape, the building was named “Cucumber”. The height of the building is 180 m. The skyscraper is considered one of the most environmentally friendly buildings of its kind in the world. Due to its unique shape, the building casts less shadow and allows more sunlight to reach the lower floors. To remember the unique shape of this structure, we will trace the picture dot by dot.

The teacher distributes to the children pictures with a dotted image of the “Cucumber” tower and pencils. Children trace the drawing.

So, we have seen almost all the sights of London, and now we will not deny ourselves the pleasure of looking at the city from above and will visit “ London Eye" - the tallest Ferris wheel in Europe. Let's make binoculars from our palms, look around and tell you what we see and what we admire.

Children make “binoculars” and list the sights of London, forming the accusative and instrumental cases.

Children. I see the zoo, I admire the zoo. I see a museum, I admire a museum...

III. Final part

P a g o g It is traditional to bring souvenirs from each trip - as a keepsake, as a gift to friends or relatives. We will make magnets with symbols of London.

Children stick magnets onto blank cardboard phone booths and red buses.

Great Britain is a country about which you can write and dream endlessly. “Foggy Albion” washed by the Atlantic, the stronghold of the once most powerful and powerful empire, which to this day sets the tone in many ways. Great Britain today is a dizzying combination of the ancient walls of the Tower, the late medieval architecture of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the achievements of modern architecture - the Millennium Dome exhibition center and the colossal Ferris wheel - and British rock, and the country’s flag itself has become almost the flag of the generation that grew up in countless indie rock and Britpop bands.

Great Britain or, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland- the largest state in Europe (77th place in the world, 243,809 sq. km.), located on islands in the Northern Hemisphere and washed by Atlantic Ocean on the one hand and North Sea on the other side. Great Britain is the heir to the largest state in human history - the British Empire - and one of the world's nuclear powers. The capital of the state, London, is the financial capital of all of Europe, even though Great Britain is not a member of the European Union. Accordingly, the UK has its own currency - the pound sterling

Literally all eras of the history of this island state are shrouded in an aura of mystery and romanticism. British Isles were inhabited about 30,000 years ago. In 43 AD The Roman Empire began the conquest of this distant state and extended its power far in time - for as many as 4 centuries. In the 10th century, disparate tribes in the south of the island united into the Kingdom of England, and in the north into the Kingdom of Scotland. During the times described in the legends of King Arthur and Beowulf, the Normans invaded the kingdom, exporting a bit of feudalism to the country. The Middle Ages became a time of exorbitant growth in the ambitions of rulers, which resulted in constant campaigns for new territories - confrontation with Scotland and France; the war with the latter, by the way, became one of the longest in the history of mankind, for which it was called the Hundred Years. In the late Middle Ages, England confidently explored new continents, the ships of its fleet plied almost all the seas and oceans, discovering hitherto unexplored corners and planting a blue flag with a red cross in a white border on them. At the peak of its power, at the beginning of the 20th century, the British Empire occupied almost half the world, but, despite the victory over Hitler in World War II, which Great Britain won as part of the Allied forces, there was no chance left to save the empire - here and there they raised heads of the leaders of the independence movements. Great Britain decided to leave its colonies without bloodshed. The scope of decolonization can be assessed by the following figures: before 1949, the number of subjects of the empire outside the metropolis was 700 million people, after 1949 - 5 million.
