The Snow Queen
By S2
Good afternoon everyone.
Welcome to our assembly which is part of
our topic on Ice and Fire.
We are going to start with a song about
snow
We will be singing the first two verses and
the chorus.
Snow Song
Frosty weather casts a spell,
On an unsuspecting world.
Now the air has filled with magic,
Snow is falling down.
Snow comes softly, drifting down,
On the houses, all around.
Over every street and rooftop,
Snow is falling down.
(Chorus)
Not a whisper, not a sound,
As snowflakes fall, and settle down.
There’s a hush, across the town,
As snow comes falling down.
We’re going to tell you the story of The
Snow Queen which we have been reading in
class.
Here are the people and animals in the
story.
Here is Gerda and Kay
This is The
Snow Queen
Here is the demon with his mirror
Here is the
crow
Here are the Prince and Princess
Here are the robbers
Here is a
reindeer
Our story starts with a demon who made a
magic mirror.
The mirror made everything look twisted and
ugly.
One day, the mirror got smashed and broke
into a million pieces.
All the pieces of mirror flew round the world,
and went into people’s eyes and hearts.
If a splinter went into you, it made you nasty
and horrible.
Long ago, there were two best friends,
Gerda and Kay.
They lived next door to each other.
They loved to play in a beautiful rose garden
between their houses.
Winter came and it
began to snow.
Kay went out and
saw a snowflake. It
grew bigger and
bigger ……
…. until it turned
into a woman
dressed in a
sparkling silver
cloak.
The woman suddenly disappeared!
Then Kay felt something sharp in his eye.
Ow!
From that moment everything changed.
Kay became a nasty horrible boy who made
fun of everyone.
Gerda was very
upset.
Kay wouldn’t play
with her anymore.
Then, on the
coldest day of
winter, the Snow
Queen came
back.
She told Kay to go
with her.
He followed her to
her Ice Palace.
Gerda was so
worried when Kai
disappeared.
She looked for
him everywhere.
One day, she saw
a crow.
‘Have you seen my friend Kay?’
She asked the crow.
‘The Snow Queen took him’
‘Come to the palace’ croaked the crow.
‘I’ll show you’.
But instead of the Snow Queen’s palace, the
crow took Gerda to see the Prince and
Princess.
They were very
sorry for Gerda.
They gave her a
beautiful cloak to
keep warm.
She would need to
travel north into the
snows.
Gerda travelled north
into the snows.
Suddenly she was
attacked by robbers.
‘Give me that cloak’
said the robber girl.
Gerda told them
about Kay.
‘Do you know where
the Snow Queen is?
The robber girl felt
sorry for Gerda.
She gave her back
the cloak.
She gave her a
reindeer to help
her.
The reindeer knew
where the Snow
Queen lived.
Gerda and the
reindeer
travelled
through the
deep snow to
the Ice Palace.
There was Kay in
the palace!
Gerda rushed to
Kay but he was
as cold as ice.
The Snow Queen
cackled.
‘You can’t have
him unless he
solves the puzzle!
‘He has to spell ETERNITY, then the spell is
broken’
Gerda tried to help.
Gerda and the reindeer managed to spell
the word.
The spell was broken!
The Snow Queen disappeared.
Gerda and Kay went home.
The reindeer went back to the robbers.
What happened to the Snow Queen?
The broken spell meant she could go back
to her true self …
… a fairy
And they all lived happily ever after……
Our prayer
Thank you for our friends and people who
help us.
Help us to be kind and thoughtful to each
other.
Amen.
