Учитель: Good morning children. We have an unusual lesson today. Our lesson will be devoted to three countries the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom, the USA.

The children's task was to get the information about the geographical position, history, literature and culture of the countries, to draw a map and to make an album. Their second task was to learn about the traditions and holidays of these countries and to dramatize one of them. Children worked hard and today we'll see the result .But at the very beginning I would like to know "Do you know the symbols of the symbols of the countries?" Your task is to find the symbols of your country and to tell us about them. The first country is the UK of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
