The procedure

1. Preliminaries

1. Greetings
2. A talk on the subject of the lesson
3. A conversation about the weather:

• What are the seasons of a year?
• What season is it now?
• What are the spring months?
• What is the weather like today?
• What was the weather like yesterday?
• Why do you like spring weather?

2. Main part (acting)

1. The pupils “invite” the spring, singing a song (“Spring has come again”) and imitating the awakening of nature in spring.

(Dancing slowly, the Spring is coming in. she is wearing a beautiful green dress decorated with spring flowers)

2. SPRING: I am Spring. People call me the season of hope and happiness. When I come, flowers begin to grow and bloom, green leaves appear on the trees. Birds come back from the South and begin to build their nests. Then they feed their little chicks. Children help their parents in the garden. The sky is blue. First spring rains wash the Earth and everything looks so bright!

(the Spring is dancing to music again, leaving artificial flowers on the floor)

SPRING:  So, winter is over, March comes.

April and May are also spring months.

(The Spring Months are coming in. They are dancing together with the Spring)

MARCH:  March brings sunny days and winds.

So we know that spring begins.

APRIL:   April brings the warm and the weather sweet.

We see daisies at our feet.

MAY:   May brings flowers, joy and grass

And much interesting for us!

(The Spring and the Months are dancing together and going away)

(The pupils sing a song “Spring cleaning”)

3. BIRD 1:  Deep in the woods a song I hear.

A robin is singing: “Spring is here!”

Then, at my feet, a violet blue

Is quietly saying: “I’m blooming for you!”

BIRD 2: Do you know the names of spring flowers? Look at the “Word Search Table” and try to find them there. Look cross and down, upwards and backwards.

Key: snowdrop, violet, dandelion, tulip, daffodil, daisy, anemone.

(The Flowers are dancing and the Fairy comes in )

FAIRY: I am the Fairy from the Magic Valley. There are lots of beautiful flowers with heavenly odor. The birds are singing pleasant songs. Little bright humming birds are dancing above the flowers. They are playing with butterflies flying around. Let’s go together to my Magic Valley!

(The Fairy and the Flowers are dancing and coming to the table “Magic Valley”)

4. FAIRY: Do you like these beautiful butterflies? They are unusual. They carry questions and tasks on their wings. Try to catch a butterfly and answer the question or do the task written there.

(The pupils are “catching” the “butterflies” with tasks)

PUPIL 1: Spring is rich on holidays and one of them is the Women’s Day. We celebrate it on the 8^th of March. On this day we congratulate our beloved moms, grannies, aunties, sisters, teachers and all women over the world. We wish them good health, much happiness and love. Today we are glad to see them at our party and greet on the occasion of the coming holiday.

PUPIL 2: The dearest of all women are our Moms.

M – is for million things she gave me.

O – means that she is growing old.

T – is for tears she shed to save me.
