# To celebrate! #

Whoo-hoo!

Aha! Did I frighten you?

Aw I'm sorry if I did. I'm\na knight - Sir Thomas of Ticker!

I found this old suit of armour\nunderneath some bits and bobs

and decided to try it on.

Now I can't get out!

It's very difficult\nto move around in.

CLANK! CLANK!

How did knights drink tea?

My friends Sam and Matthew love\nknights and one in particular -

St George\nthe patron saint of England.

They're about to get ready for a\nvery special day - St George's Day.

I think they're very excited.\nLet's find out shall we?

- Hi I'm Sam. - Hi I'm Matthew.\n - BOTH: We're twins!

We're celebrating\nSt George's Day...

BOTH: ..and being English!

Yeah!

We love being English.

And here are some things people\nthink of when they think of England.

Fish and chips.

BOTH: Rain!

Cricket.

Red post boxes.

Morris dancing.

BELLS JANGLE

And dragons.

OK then not dragons exactly.

- The man who fought one -\nSt George. - Oh-h!

St George is the patron saint\nof England.

People think\nhe was a brave strong man.

He stood up for what he believed in.

Come on Matthew! Let's go.

'At school today'

'our friends are doing\none of our favourite dances -

'maypole dancing.

'They dance around the pole

'with all the different\ncoloured ribbons.

'Tomorrow we're going\nto a big St George's Day event.

'So we've come to a craft workshop\nto make things for our costumes.'

- Hiya. Are you all right? - Yeah.

Right so you're going to be\nSt George so on your shield

- what would you like to draw?\nShall we draw...? - A cross?

The red cross yep good idea.

You're going to make a dragon's\nhelmet. Would you like to try it on?

See what it fits like. Wow!

Go on then Sam.\nYou do that line for me. Lovely!

Does it look like a dragon's mouth?

You're doing a great job with that.

The red cross\nis the symbol of St George.

The cross is looking good\non the shield.

OK scaly yes!

Real scaly.

Good.

Don't leave any white pieces\nwill you?

That's it Sam.

Nice! Keep going.

Beautiful!

Big tap...

on the table that's it.

- Beautiful. Let's have a look.\nShow everyone else. - That's nice.

Really nice Sam.\nYour name looks really good.

Wow!

Let's hear the noise.

HE ROARS

I think you're going to look a bit\nscary tomorrow. Thank you very much.

- Bye! - Thank you very much.\n - ROARING

'Now we've got our costumes there's\none more thing we need to prepare.'

BOTH: Picnic food! Yummy!

- So Sam what do we need first? - Food. - And...

BOTH: MU-UM!

Come on then boys.\nLet's wash our hands.

First we're making sandwiches.

I'm making cucumber sandwiches.

And I'm making ham sandwiches.

I'm using bread butter\nand cucumber.

I'm using bread butter and ham.

Well done.

Put the sandwich on the plate.

Sam and Matthew are making a picnic\nfor their friends Aidan and Ewan.

Also for our picnic\nwe've got some English pork pies.

And we've got some scones.

Best of all\nwe've got strawberries and cream.

We can't wait to celebrate tomorrow.

Ah! That English picnic\nlooked delicious.

I hope their friends enjoy it.

I've got a sandwich of my own...

except that every time\nI try to take a bite...

- CLUNK! - ..my helmet slams shut!

St George is the patron saint\nof England.

But no part of England\nis quite like another.

There are cities and there's\ncountryside and beaches...

Well I tell you what.

I know a poem that will show you\nhow many different places there are.

# Celebrate! #

Nelson on his column

Tells the lions crouched below

About lighthouses and rocky shores

No-one knows this land like me

On Liverpool's skyline\ntwo birds sing

Of the Mersey River\nracing to the sea

No-one knows this land like me

The Angel of the North

Holds his arms outspread

Showing the width of Tyne and Wear

No-one knows this land like me

An owl hunting on Bodmin Moor

Sees the moon hide behind\neach granite tor

And windblown tree

No-one knows this land like me

On the Berkshire Downs

A hare counts 40 hops between

The chalky horse's mane and tail

No-one knows this land like me

The wind ruffles Lake Windermere

Spins the windmills of Norfolk

And blows steam\nfrom a builder's mug of tea

No-one knows this land like me

A Birmingham fox

In the shadow of tower blocks

Smells salty chips

Watches sparks from trains\non the Western line

No-one knows this land like me

In Wiltshire

Wheat grows and acorns fall

Stonehenge remembers\nthe feel of hands

And songs in many mother tongues

No-one knows this land like me.

# It's great to celebrate! #

- HE SNIFFS - I think I can smell something.

I think it's sausages!

'Loads of people have turned up

'to celebrate St George's Day

'and there is so much to do here!

'Look! There's our friends.'
