1. The Snow Queen
By S2

2. 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.

3. Snow Song Frosty weather casts a spell, On an unsuspecting world.
Now the air has filled with magic,
Snow is falling down.

4. Snow comes softly, drifting down,
On the houses, all around.
Over every street and rooftop,
Snow is falling down.

5. Not a whisper, not a sound, As snowflakes fall, and settle 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.

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.

15. Long ago, there were two best friends, Gerda and Kay
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.

21. ‘Have you seen my friend Kay. ’ She asked the 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’.

22. But instead of the Snow Queen’s palace, the crow took Gerda to see the Prince and Princess.

23. They were very sorry for Gerda
They were very sorry for Gerda. They gave her a beautiful cloak to keep warm. She would need to travel north into the snows.

24. Gerda travelled 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?

28. ‘He has to spell ETERNITY, then the spell is broken’ Gerda tried to help.

29. 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.
