Mary Poppins: Good afternoon, dear children! Good afternoon, dear guests! Glad to see you at our New Year Party. Let me introduce myself. My name is Mary Poppins. I have got two friends. They are: Jane and Michael. Do you like to travel?
The pupils: Yes, we do.
Mary Poppins: I have a magic umbrella. Here it is. But it has no colours. Will you help me? The pupils: Yes.
Mary Poppins: You must name the colours and recite poems about colours. Then my friends will colour the umbrella and it will become magic. What colours do you know?
The pupils: Green, red, blue, white, orange, grey, yellow, brown, purple, pink.
Pupil 1:

Grass is green,
So long and clean.

Asks little Fred.
The ball is red,
Says his brother Ted.

Can you say?
Yes I can.
The mouse is grey.
What is white?

Milk is white
And so is snow.

And my little brother.

Run, mouse, run.

Mary Poppins:
Children, let’s sing the song “Jingle, Bells”.
Jingle, Bells, jingle, bells,
Jingle all the way,
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Dashing through the snow
In a one-horse open sleigh,
O’er the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tail ring
Making spirits bright
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Jingle, Bells, jingle, bells,
Jingle all the way.
Oh, what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.
Mary Poppins: Thank you, dear children. Our journey is over. We must return. Children, go to sleep. One, two, three. Fly, umbrella, with the children and me. Good bye! See you next year.
