Дети поют песню “ A balladof Stonehenge”(слайд 6, 7).
Three thousand years before Christ was a child,
England was beautiful, young and wild.
There were people, forests and rivers there,
And the magic stones hung in the air.
The people who brought them were strong and brave,
And under these stones they found their graves.
Where did they come from? Where did they go?
Who were these people? Well never know.
Was it a temple? An ancient gods house?
Was it a compass for friends from the stars?
They built it five thousand years ago,
But why did they do it? Well never know.
Now these days are gone and the people are gone,
But the midsummer sunrise still shines on the stone.
And the midwinter sunset still comes with the rain,
And Stonehenge greets them on Salisbury Plain.

The national symbols of Scotland are flags, iconsor cultural expressions that are emblematic, representative or otherwisecharacteristic of Scotland or Scottish culture.As a rule, these national symbols are cultural icons that have emerged out of Scottishfolklore and tradition, meaning few have any official status. However, most ifnot all maintain recognition at a national or international level, and some,such as the Royal Arms of Scotland,have been codified in heraldry,and are established, official and recognised symbols of Scotland.
The national flag of Scotland, the Saltire or St. AndrewsCross, dates (at least in legend) from the 9th century, and is thus the oldestnational flag still in use. The Saltire now also forms partof the design of the Union Flag.
The Royal Standard of Scotland,a banner showing the Royal Arms of Scotland,is also frequently to be seen, particularly at sporting events involving aScottish team. Often called the Lion Rampant (after its chief heraldicdevice), it is technically the property of the monarch and its use by anybodyelse is illegal, although this is almost universally ignored, and neverenforced.
The thistle, the floral emblem of Scotland, also features inScottish & British heraldry through symbols, logos, coat of arms and onBritish currency.
The Flag of Wales incorporates the red dragon, now a popular Welsh symbol, along withthe Tudor colours of greenand white. It was used by Henry VII atthe battle of Bosworthin 1485 after which it was carried in state to St. Pauls Cathedral.The red dragon was then included in the Tudor royal arms to signify their Welshdescent. It was officially recognised as the Welsh national flag in 1959. TheBritish Union Flag incorporatesthe flags of Scotland, Ireland and England but does not have any Welshrepresentation. Technically, however, it is represented by the flag of Englanddue to the Laws in Wales act of 1535 which annexed Wales following the 13thcentury conquest.
The Flag of Saint Davidis sometimes used as an alternative to the national flag (and used in part of Crusaderscrest), and is flown on St Davids Day.
The daffodilis the national flower ofWales, and is worn on St Davids Day each 1 March. (In Welsh, thedaffodil is known as Peters Leek, cenhinen Bedr/Cenin pedr.)

The national flag of England, known as St. Georges Cross, has been Englands national flag since the 13th century. Originally the flag was used by the maritime state the Republic of Genoa. The English monarch paid a tribute to the Doge of Genoa from 1190 onwards, so that English ships could fly the flag as a means of protection when entering the Mediterranean. A red cross acted as a symbol for many Crusaders in the 12th and 13th centuries. It became associated with Saint George, along with countries and cities, which claimed him as their patron saint and used his cross as a banner.[1] Since 1606 the St Georges Cross has formed part of the design of the Union Flag, a Pan-British flag designed by King James |

The Royal Banner of England[3] (also known as the Banner of the Royal Arms,[4] the Banner of the King of England,[5][6] or by the misnomer of the Royal Standard of England.[4]) is the English banner of arms, that features the Royal Arms of England. This Royal Banner differs from Englands national flag, St Georges Cross, in that it does not represent any particular area or land, but rather symbolises the sovereignty vested in the rulers thereof.[7] |

The Tudor rose, which takes its name from the Tudor dynasty, was adopted as a national emblem of England around the time of the Wars of the Roses as a symbol of peace.[13] It is a syncretic symbol in that it merged the white rose of the Yorkists and the red rose of the Lancastrians—cadet branches of the Plantagenets who went to war over control of the royal house. It is also known as the Rose of England.[14] |

The oak is the national tree of England,[15] representing strength and endurance. The Royal Oak and Oak Apple Day commemorate the escape of King Charles II from the grasps of the parliamentarians after his fathers execution; he hid in an oak tree to avoid detection before making it safely into exile. The Major Oak is an 800–1000 year old oak in Sherwood Forest, famed as the alleged principal hideout of Robin Hood. |

Tea is symbolic of England.[15] In 2006, a government sponsored survey confirmed that a cup of tea constituted a national symbol of England |
Union Flag
The flag of the United Kingdom, the Union Jack, is the only official flag, and isroutinely used on central governmentbuildings in Northern Ireland.[1] It is made from an amalgamation of thecrosses of St George(representing England), St Andrew (representing Scotland) and St Patrick(representing Ireland).
The Union Flag is often flown by Unionistsand Loyalists but isdisliked by Nationalists and Republicans. On 3 December 2012, Belfast CityCouncil, which had hitherto flown the Union Flag every day from City Hall,voted to fly it only on designated days, sparking several weeks of loyalist street proteststhroughout Northern Ireland which are ongoing to date. The protests wereorganised and led by Willie Frazer, former director of Families Actingfor Innocent Relatives (FAIR) and Jamie Bryson, a youngloyalist man from Donaghadee.
St Andrews Saltire
St Andrews Crossis the flag of Scotland,and is one of the flags which makes up the Union Flag. It is used by some Loyalistsin Northern Ireland to highlight their Scottish ancestry. St Andrew was one of the Apostles of Jesus Christ and the flag is said to have beeninspired by a white cross of cloud appearing on a blue sky to a Scottish Kingpreparing for battle.
