Ход мероприятия

1. Вступительное слово учителя. T: Dear children! Today we are talking about one of the holidays in our country. It is Сosmonauts day which we celebrate on the 12^th of April. The first Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin flew into space on that day 50 years ago. We want to tell you about this simple and courageous man.

2. Биография Юрия Гагарина.

P1: Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin was born on the 9th of March, 1934. He was born in the village of Klushino in the Smolensk region. Yura was an active, brave and curious boy. His parents, Alexey Ivanovich Gagarin and Anna Timofeyevna Gagarina, were peasants, they worked on a collective farm.

Soon the Great Patriotic war began. Yuri Gagarin and his mother, father, brother and sister left their house and had to live in a dug-out. After the war Gagarins family moved to Gzhatsk.

P2: In 1951 Gagarin graduated from a vocational school in Lyubertsy near Moscow. Yuri Gagarin attended an aeroclub and began to fly when he was a student of a technical secondary school in Saratov. In 1955 he entered a school for pilots. Then he became a pilot and joined the first group of cosmonauts. In 1960 Gagarin began to prepare for the flight into space.

P3: On April 12, 1961 Yuri Gagarin flew into space and spent 108 minutes there. The rocket flew around the Earth and then came back to the orbit. It was the first time in history that the Russian spaceship Vostok -1 with the man on board was in space. Gagarin said „Up we go!" and with this words he became the first man of our planet. After his flight he visited 30 countries and saw millions of people.

P4: Gagarin became a Hero of our country. He died in 1968, but people always remember the first Russian cosmonaut.

Today the Gjatsk city where the first cosmonaut spent many years has been renamed to Gagarin. Also the crater on a backward side of the Moon and the asteroid №1772 carries his name. Lots of streets, squares and prospects were named after him. And the 12th of April – the day when the first man flew to space - is a holiday. This is the day of Cosmonautics.

6. Напутствие Гагарина.

T: 108 minutes now seems not a long time spent in space. But just think what that meant for a person who knew that he was the first one to do it. No doubt the flight was connected with tremendous risk. And Yuri Gagarin understood that clearly.

On March 27, 1968, Yuri Gagarin was killed in an air crash. He was 34. On that day we lost a man of remarkable courage and spiritual beauty.

He dreamed of the time when spaceships would undertake interplanetary flights and he would be on board of them. For the sake of this dream Yuri Gagarin worked and lived.

Yuri Alexeyevich Gagarin said “Circling the Earth in my orbital spaceship I marveled at the beauty of our planet. People of the world, let us safeguard and enhance this beauty – not destroy it”. His words are an exhortation to the people of different nationalities. The Earth is our home and we should save it and keep.
