Good morning, everybody.

My best wishes for you, children. I know that you will do all your best at the meeting of our Club.

Dear guests, we highly appreciate you to join us today.

We start a journey of discovery. We are going to travel through the time and space with the help of famous museums of London. It’s there that we should go if we want to learn more about who we civilized people are.

2. Фонетическаязарядка

Surrounding world is full of Beauty and we should learn to notice it.

Listen to the poem by William Blake who tells us about the wonderful world around us and recite it

From “Auguries of Innocence”.

To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a wild flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an hour.

3. Речеваяразминка

Let’s start our journey. I’ll give you a map to choose your route.

As I come from London I should say the capital itself is a living museum. There are more than 100 as far as I remember. All museums are different.

What types of museums do you know? (Fine Arts, History, Natural history, Specialty)

What can you see in the fine art museums? (Paintings, sculptures, graphic art)

What can we learn about in the history museums? (How people lived many years ago, about wars, different historical events, to see clothes, furniture, jewels, arms.)

What do the natural history museums display? (Collections of plants, minerals, animals)

What collections do the specialty museums contain? (Children’s toys, waxworks.)

We are going to visit 4 famous museums. They are…

4. Защитапроекта “The National Gallery”

Let’s start with Trafalgar Square. (I show it on the map)

Have a look at the photos which were made by the pupils who have visited London this year.

“If you stand with your back to Nelsons Column, you will see a wide horizontal front in a classical style. It’s the National Gallery It has been in this building since 1838 and housed the collection of Old Masters Paintings. They were offered to the nation by an English private collector Sir George Beamount. And there were only 38 painting in the National Gallery. Today the picture galleries have over 2000 works of all schools of painting from 13-th till 19-th centuries” [1]

The most famous works among them are the paintings by Botticelli, Velazquez, Rembrandt, Goya, Rubens, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Renuar, and Gainsborough.

(Учитель рисования комментирует репродукции картин.)

After visiting the National Gallery we were really impressed by paintings.

But the most surprising thing was the fact that people needn’t pay money for the exhibition. It’s free.

Let’s imagine that you work here. What will you answer if somebody asks you about regulations in the gallery?

1. – Is it all right if I take photographs?
   Sorry (Yes, please), taking photographs… ( topermit ).

2. – Can I do some drawing if I want?

The Tower include not one but 20 towers. Many tragic stories of British history came from here. In the so-called Bloody Tower 2 sons of king Edward 4 were murdered and buried beneath steps in the White Tower.

Traitors Gate (Воротапредателeй) is in the St Thomas Tower and has steps leading down to the River Thames. Prisoners were brought to the Tower by barge.

A lot of them went through this gate but few came out. Among the famous prisoners executed at the Tower were Thomas More, Ann Boleyn and Catherine Howard.

The White Tower is the oldest part. It dates back to the 11-th century and the time of William the Conqueror.
