The course of the event

I. Leader: Dear Friends! Ladies and Gentlemen, Teachers and Students!

You are welcome to our party, dedicated to St. Valentine’s Day, which is always held on February 14th and brings us happiness and good luck.

St. Valentine is one of the popular holidays in Europe, America and now in Russia.

It is the day, when boys and girls, sweethearts and lovers, husbands and wives, friends and neighbours, and even the office staff, exchange greetings of affection, undying love, or satirical comment.

So we wish you a Happy Valentine’s Day!

II. Let’s begin with a presentation which I’ve maid for this day. (7 min)

III. Now we are going to start our competition for The Best Valentines of 2014. We ask all the participants to take their places, (quiet music). Let me introduce our teams: SS#1, SS#2, SS#3.

E.g. :

My heart to you is given

Oh do give yours to me

We'll lock them up together

And throw away the key

Here is a valentine

I made it just for you

With paper and ribbons

And lot's of Elmer's glue

I cut it with my scissors

And designed it with my paint

If I tell you that I love you

Do you promise not to faint

Sure as grape grows on the vine,

So sure you are my Valentine –

The rose is red, the violet is blue,

Lilies are fair and so are you!

The sky is high, the sea is deep.

Thinking of you I cannot sleep.

If you love me I love you

Nothing but death will part us too.

……………..

Thank you so much. We enjoyed you reciting the poems! Our applause. Who else wants to recite or to sing? Or maybe to dance? You are welcome.

“My Bonny”. It’s about love & loyalty.

MY BONNY

My Bonny is over the ocean, 
My Bonny is over the sea,
My Bonny is over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me. 
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

Last night as I lay on my pillow,

Last night as I lay on my bed,

Last night as I lay on my pillow,

I dreamed that my Bonny was dead.

Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

Oh, winds, you blow over the ocean, 
Oh, winds, you blow over the sea,
Oh, winds, you blow over the ocean,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me, to me.
Bring back, bring back,
Oh, bring back my Bonny to me.

The winds have blown over the ocean,

The winds have blown over the sea,

The winds have blown over the ocean,

And brought back my Bonny to me.

Brought back, brought back

Brought back my Bonnie to me, to me.

Brought back, brought back

Brought back my Bonnie to me.
