Well done from all of us!

England' s Entry Church Aston Infant School
Hi Everyone,
We have entered our favourite song. It is a traditional song we sing in school frequently because the children love the words, the actions and the tune. They are never squeamish about the poor old red rooster even though he gets made into a stew!It is American we think. Anyway we are singing in English.
We had several takes to get this version and had to dodge the helicopters flying over our school. Prince William and Prince Harry used to fly over last year when they were doing their helicopter training!
We are having fun watching and listening to the songs each day. Well done everyone.
All the best from Church Aston Infant School.
I will try to get a better version of our video to view ...it is on it's way to Vimeo but is taking a long time to upload.

Good luck to everybody in the contest!

Finland's entry: You Control The Climate Change
We made this song to remind people of climate change as it hasn't vanished. We all have to do our part. The music and lyrics are by teacher Mika Vanhanen and 33 singers from 4-6th grade, Otso (10 yrs) as Frank The Frog. We come from Eno Primary School.

You Control The Climate Change!
I’m Frank The Frog, take part in ENO
Our task is a big one so listen, please don’t go.
We have a global problem, it is the climate change
But we have the power to make a change.
Turn down. Switch off. Recycle. And walk.
Four small changes: We act, we don’t just talk.
Make your pledges so Earth remains
You control the climate change
The heat is melting the ice at the Poles
sea levels rising who will save our souls?
Floods and storms we don’t need them more
climate change is knocking on the door.
Turn down. Switch off. Recycle. And walk.
Four small changes: We act, we don’t just talk.
Make your pledges so Earth remains
You control the climate change
It’s not just people who make this possible
governments and industries they are responsible
We will together prevent this tragedy
So make us happy and put your pledge in me!
Plant a tree, two or three in the end of May
Tiny drops will form a sea of action every day
You are in let it burn like Frank, you’re far from zero
A step by step you will turn into a climate hero
H – E – R – O !
Turn down. Switch off. Recycle. And walk.
Four small changes: We act, we don’t just talk.
Make your pledges and make the change:
You control the climate change
We control the climate change.
36° in Germany
Even though our school's song contest started in winter, it proves the right timing for us to present the winner of our internal contest just now, while we are enjoying a summer-like atmosphere and are already dreaming of the summer holidays that aren't very far away, anymore.
So, we do hope that you may enjoy with us the summer feelings that are brought about by "36 Grad"!
------------------------------------
Thanks so much to the authors of this song and to all kids and grown-ups who have shared their skills in producing this entry.
Especially, I would like to mention and thank our school's musician Ecki, who always prefers not to be mentioned and now simply has to cope with it for a change.

Scotland's entry: Killiecrankie
Hello to everyone from us in Scotland.
In 2011, we are singing the old Scots song, Killiecrankie. It was written by famous Scots poet, Robert Burns. As it's in Scots, it might be difficult to follow, so the words are underneath for you to follow!
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad!
Whare hae ye been sae brankie O?
Whare hae ye been sae braw, lad?
Cam ye by Killiecrankie O?
An ye had been whare I hae been,
Ye wad na been sae cantie O;
An ye had seen what I hae seen,
I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O.
I faught at land, I faught at sea,
At hame I faught my Auntie, O;
But I met the Devil and Dundee
On th' braes o' Killiecrankie, O.
An ye had been whare I hae been,
Ye wad na been sae cantie O;
An ye had seen what I hae seen,
I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O.
The bauld Pitcur fell in a furr,
An' Clavers gat a clankie, O;
Or I had fed an Athole Gled
On th' braes o' Killiecrankie, O.
An ye had been whare I hae been,
Ye wad na been sae cantie O;
An ye had seen what I hae seen,
I'th' braes o' Killiecrankie O.

Hello dear friends,
Bulgaria is well known all over the world with the special musical rythms and wonderful voices. There are plenty of national songs that worth introducing but we decided to perform

Hello from Slovenia, Prebold PS
Dobrodošli na Schoolovision 2011!
Smo iz Slovenije in radi prepevamo. Vso srečo vam želimo.
Zdravo!
Hello again from Slovenia!
"Pismo" (A letter) is a song written by Svetlana Makarovič, our famous modern poet, writer and an actress. She wrote the music too.
This song is a part of our school musical and we want to share it with all of you because we are really proud of it.
The song is about a little squirrel who writes a letter to her aunt in which she thanks her for a hazelnut she sent her niece the last time. It was really delicious, but it was only one and even the thought of it now makes the little squirrel dribble!! She wants her aunt to send her kilos of hazelnuts to show her how much she loves her. Finally she sends her love to her uncle and lots of kisses to her aunt.
Enjoy watching the video and good luck to all!
May the best song win!
Introduction:
Poland - Fly with me
Fly with me from Marek Fularz on Vimeo.
Polish children's song about fun, friendship and imagination of children.
Would you like to tell you about one of the summer days
I was playing in a meadow when someone whispered to me
I have a big problem because I'm still alone
Although I know thousand games, there is nobody to have fun
Fly Fly with me highly
I'll take you with me where are the stars
Together will say hello the clouds
The king of butterflies gave me driving license
Maybe on the top of The Little Prince
Today will be a grand ball again
I'll take the smell of flowers from the meadow
On the stellar harp I will play
Wales- "Adiemus"
Bore da pawb!

Song The Netherlands
Hello everybody,
After weeks of practicing the song and shooting and editing the video we can upload our song for the contest.
Excuse us for the bad quality of the movie. We will make it better!
The song is called: Feest voor iedereen. It means: A party for everybody.
It's about the people in the world that are working a lot and earning a lot of money to buy
big houses and cars. Because of that the people don't have time to have fun anymore.
That's why we say: A party for everybody and have fun, all over the world.

Austria - "The Wild Boar Song"
Untitled from VS Wildbach on Vimeo.
The Austrian children decided to sing just this song because
they really like the music and the text :
This song tells us about the life of the boar:
The wild boar is a pig with bristles, hair and tusks.
It always has to look for food by himself and doesn't have
the possibility to get the food in a pot from the farmer as the pig.
It lives in the wood and not in the stable with the farmer.
The wild boar likes to take a bath in swamps and pools.
If it is ready it walks away with black stockings.
If wild boars have babies, they are very dangerous.
Then I would not like to meet them alone!
We like the wild boar even if it is not very popular with most people!!!
All the best wishes to our friends in Europe!
The Maltese Song - "A Song for Maltese Children"
Schoolovision2011 from videos on Vimeo.

Dear children around the world, join us in singing our song…
“We don’t want any worries…We don’t want any wars.
Around us peace and friendship…And nothing we want more.
Let’s tour around the whole world…Announcing joy and peace
Telling everybody that we are all Maltese.”

The Norwegian song - Stop! Don't bully!
Ref:
Stop! Do not bully!
This here is my friend.
Do not find any nonsense.
My friend is good as gold.
Now I'll just say so.
One for all - All for one.
So now I want to affirm black on white:
Here are a bully-free!
Everyone has once been outside.
Known for a lump inside.
So I will be the one
that is a true friend,
and dare to speak up
when things are not good.
So I say: Stop! Do not bully…
Nobody likes to stand outside.
We all need a friend.
To show empathy
can be difficult.
But I will be the one
which is the small difference.
And dare speak out: Stop! Do not bully…
Bridge:
This here is my friend.
Do not find any nonsense.
My friend is good as gold.

Romania's entry: HOW BEAUTIFUL IS A FLOWER...
How beautiful a flower
How beautiful is a flower
How sweet is its perfume
In our temporary world
And all that means my age.
Chorus:
It seems that i hear symphonies that bring me joy
When I receive or I give someone a flower
A light pastel colours wake me up in the morning
And calls me to get more flowers.
II. And every day is holiday
And every moment is a dream
‘Cause in human’s life, a flower
Opens various roads to paradise.
And when the desire appears
And allows us be better peoples
Then you can receive thousands of flowers
And wishing to be really human beings

Welcome- to Schoolovision 2011!
2011 Eurovision Song Contest- DÜSSELDORF, Germany, 14 May 2011
“Schoolovision 2011”- May 2011
Following a similar format to the Eurovision Song Contest, Schoolovision 2011 will once again allow one primary school from all eTwinning countries wishing to participate, to record and upload a song of their choice, to be viewed by all other participants in the project.
In addition, all countries will be asked to evaluate and vote for their favourite songs after they have listened to all the others- and of course, voting for yourself will not be allowed!
You and your class will have until Friday 6th May to decide upon your song, practise it, video it, and get it uploaded onto the project blog website, using either the video upload section within www.blogger.com, or by using YouTube, or both. You may also wish to use uploading sites such as http://www.vimeo.com/ Once all songs are uploaded, you will need to get your class to watch all the other countries' entries and decide who will receive your votes. This should be done in the week from Friday 7th May until Thursday 12th May.
On Friday 13th May 2011, you have two choices. You can either join the team for a group webcam conference, starting at 9.00am UK time, where we will announce our votes to each other and total the votes up, so we can establish the winner. Or, if this is not possible, you will need to email your votes to Michael Purves, the project co-ordinator BEFORE the live webcam voting takes place. This way, we will be able to successfully total all the votes from all the countries and announce who are Schoolovision champions for 2011. The winning school will be sent a specially commissioned trophy!
RULES
1. Only one school from each country will be allowed to enter.
2. Schoolovision is for primary schools only.
3. Once you have agreed to enter and submitted your request to the project coordinator, Michael Purves you will receive an invitation to become a partner in the project, via the eTwinning portal, www.etwinning.net
4. The song you choose to sing should be be one of your choice, hopefully chosen in collaboration with your pupils, and can be sung in any language. It cannot be a well-known song, as we wish to make sure that all participants have an equal chance of success. This will also ensure no possible problems with copyright issues. If you need to get ideas, please look back at the 2010 entries from either Croatia or Finland- both used songs that were about the environment- these are good ideas, but you could also consider folk songs, again that have no copyright issues.
5. Musical accompaniment is permitted- but only in the following way. Members of your class (your pupils) who wish to play musical instruments can do so, and your song can have adult help who could for example, play a piano or a keyboard to lead the tune of the song. Alternatively, you can use a CD for the tune (but without the original singer's voice) - but your children MUST do the singing!
6. All entries should be completed by Friday 6th May. When your song is ready, you upload the video of your song to the blog, via www.blogger.com using either the “upload video” section of the site, or by uploading your video to YouTube, then copying and pasting the embed code into your blog post. All files MUST be uploaded by Friday 6th May, as each country will then need to watch all the entries and judge them during the following week- Monday 9th- Thursday 12th May.
7. Once you and your pupils have watched each entry and chosen your favourites, either email your choices to Michael Purves, before Friday 13th May, or you can give your votes, live, via webcam conference on Friday 13th May. YOU MUST NOT VOTE FOR YOUR OWN ENTRY!
GOOD LUCK to all countries, and enjoy making your entry, and listening to all the other entries!
