Основна частина.

Boy: My native village, charming land,

         With silver river, golden sand,

        And Dnieper powerful and wide

         Attract my eyes by marvelous sight.

Girl: My native village, lovely place       

With wavy fields of richful grains

With virtuous flowers, so nice

Attract my sight as eyes of doves.

Boy: this is the place I like to roam,

But all the paths lead me home,

Where kids are decent smart and bright

And people generous and kind.

 Boy: My name is Vladic. I live in the village of Babchyntsi. The nature is fantastic here. There are beautiful gardens .  My house is number 61, in Blahovisna street. You are welcome to my village and my house.

Girls( sing the song "Home on the Range”):

     Oh, give me a home,

      Where the buffalo roam,

      Where the deer and the antelope play,

      Where never is heard discouraging word

      And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Refrain: Home, home on the range,

               Where the deer and the antelope play,

               Where never is heard a discouraging word

               And the skies are not cloudy all day.

               Where the air is so pure and so free,

               And the breeze so balmy and light,

               That I would not exchange my home on the range

                For all the cities so bright.

Refrain:

                 How often at night Where are the heavens are bright

                 With the light from the glittering stars

                  Have I stood as amazed, as I asked, as I gazed

                  If their glory exceeds as of our?

Refrain:

                    Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand

                      Flows leisurely down the stream,

                      Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along,

                     Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

Boy: (Shows photos of places of interest of Babchyntsi)

I would like to tell you about interesting places in our village. When you come to the centre of the village you will see a big  building. It is our club. On both sides of the club there are buildings too. On the left side stands the church


on the right side stands the school.


Girl: The second monument, which reminds us about the historic battles against fascists is the Tomb of the Unknown soldier. People remember their heroes and often bring flower to the monuments.
Near the park you can see the Cross devoted to the victims of starvation. These historic places remind and warn humanity from horrible mistakes of the past.

Boy: People say, when you know the past, you know how to build the future. At our school museum you would see albums with the photos of war veterans, a lot of historic materials, interesting exhibits of old things, Ukrainian national clothes, embroidery, etc. They help us to learn history and traditions of our village.

Girl: Very interesting and talented people live in Bubchyntsi. Meet my mother. Her name is Larysa Victorivna. She is 35. She works as a bookkeeper in the office of Village Soviet. She is very industrious. Besides her job she does a lot of work about the house. She cooks well. I always help her to bake cakes, pies, make, delicious salads. My mother has her own hobby to play bandore and sing.

(Playing and singing an Ukrainian song "Na Kalyni mene maty kolychala”)

T: We are proud of the families which bring up three or more children. Our mothers… When they have one child they love him or her. When they have two, three, four or more kids their love is spread over all of them. Mother` s love always begins from a cradle song.

Girls: (Sing the cradle song)

            The flaming son has gone to bed.

            It was working all day long.

            The moon and stars put up the guard.

            They`ll shine until the dawn.

Refrain: They will look after you, my child,

               All night up to sunrise,

               As once they cured baby Christ

               Who was born in the holy barn.

                Let`s sleep, my baby, till the morn,

                Let`s tell your dolls "Good night!”

                 Your sleep is sweet, you grow strong.

                 You grow smart and bright.

Refrain: Be blessed, my darling, by the Lord

                And always be with Christ.

                 He loves His children best of all.

                 He gives them happy life.

Boy: We are proud by many people in Babchyntsi who have many different professions and trades. Chornopyshchuk Mykola Fedorovich  lives in our village. He has got a profession of a teacher. This profession is very important and useful. But Mykola Fedorovich  is famous not only for this very thing. He is famous for his anxious struggle for independence of Ukraine. He has got a talent from God to be a poet. As a great patriot he has written many poems which are devoted to our Motherland.

(Chornopyshchuk Mykola  is reading one of his poems.)

Girl: Musicians are always popular and very needed persons, because any concert, any wedding, any festive cannot be held without a musician. Viktor Viktorovych Svidra  is the very person for such ceremonies. He is a boyanist. He accompanies the choir in the club "Rozrada”. He can compose music himself.

He has composed melodies for some songs. Listen to one of it, please.

(Pupils sing the song "An Ideal Person”)

I love my parents and my friends.

I always want to back and help them.

My native home, my native place

Is open wide. And you are welcome!

Refrain: I`ll wait again for dear friends.

               We`ll play, we`ll sing, we`ll go dancing.

                I`ll share all the best I have

               And never will regret for something.

I stick to words what people say:

"What seed one plants, he gets the same.”

"Who does not work, he does not eat.”

Is there a man that you could meet?

Refrain: I strive for work and long for deeds.

               I try to realize my knowledge.

               I search for many useful things,

                   Which serve to all and get acknowledge.

Girl: Fishman is a very useful trade. It is a hard job .People should go to their work in frosty rainy and very often in stormy weather. Yuriy Mykolayovych Klymenko is a fishman. He is very industrious. There are many trades and professions in our village, they are: teachers, carpenters, dressmakers, shopkeepers, shop-assistants, drivers, tractor drivers, agronomists. We should respect all of them.

Teacher: We should remember and respect war veterans, veterans of labor who did everything so that young generation lived in better conditions, so that our village became more beautiful. The task of young people is to be active, to develop themselves, to become very good citizens of our Motherland.
