Hungary- Tavaszi szél/ Süss fel nap

The 5th grader pupils of Károly Kós Primary and Art School could not decide between two songs, so finally they prepared two short videoclips.

1. Tavaszi szél (Spring wind) - it was also sung by Freddie Mercury in Budapest :)

Lyrics:

Tavaszi szél vizet áraszt, virágom, virágom.

Minden madár társat választ, virágom, virágom.

Hát én immár kit válasszak, virágom, virágom.

Te engemet, én tégedet, virágom, virágom.

2. Süss fel nap (Come out, Sun)

Lyrics:

Süss fel nap,
fényes nap,
kertek alatt a ludaim megfagynak.

Good luck to every participant. :)

Best wishes,

Janka, Máté, Bogi, Évi, Niki, Ádám, Zsani, Gizmó, Bence, Máté, Peti, Nelli, Rita, Barbi, Orsi

Norway- Meaning with Life

Four boys in class 7A have made both song and lyrics for this video.

They've got their inspiration from 3 doors down and heavy rock music. The song is a bit depressive, even though the title is more optimistic: Meaning with life.

We wish you all the very best luck in the competition!

Kind regards, class 7A, Bergfrid and Eva

Scotland - Until the End

We are not about to invade your country, so don't worry!
This song is about Scotland in the 8th Century.
The Fighting Men of Fib, the army, are marching to conquer their enemies!
We first performed this song in January, at a special theatre production, called King Loth.
Best wishes from Scotland to everyone- we hope you enjoy it!



Until the End

We, the fighting men of Fib,
March on distant lands,
We conquer all our enemies,
Vanquished at our hands

We the fighting men of Fib
Come to claim these lands
With sword and spear no mercy shown,
You’ll perish at our hands

We fight for Mordred, until the death
We fight for Mordred, until the end!
Hey……..Hey……………Hey

Men of Fib, fall into rank
Attention for your Lord,
Without a thought, we must obey
Lord Mordred’s every word…

We await your orders patiently
Poised to do our worst
Our weapons bear for you alone
Only blood will clench our thirst

We fight for Mordred, until the death
We fight for Mordred, until the end!
Hey……..Hey……………Hey

You boy, stand in line!
Eyes front, you filthy scoundrel, don’t disgrace this army’s name!
General, bide your time
Soon we march for battle, so prepare yourselves to DIE!

We fight for Mordred, until the death
We fight for Mordred, until the end!
We fight for Mordred, until the death
We fight for Mordred, until the end!
Hey…….Hey………Hey!

Hi And Ho - We Plant Trees! by Eno Elementary, Finland

We need to save the forest
It has to be our goal.
For many different species
It plays a major role

We want to have some action
Save life with our own way.
It gives us satisfaction
We celebrate today:

Hi and ho - we plant trees
For environment and peace!

North and South, East and West
Trees will grow: high and low.

Hi and ho - we plant trees
Want to see a lot of green!

Grow with them and learn to live
In peace and harmony.

Estonia - A song about a song (Laul laulust)

Laul laulust from Ingrid Maadvere on Vimeo.

A song doesn’t feed you or give you a drink
A song doesn’t set our table.
A song is not made for eating
It’s joy that makes you sing!

If you’re hungry, do some work
The bigger eaters must work harder!
Let the song fly across the sky
The tune will never fade away.

Beauty can never be bottled
A song can never be turned into bread
But still you can’t live without
Singing and playing!

Let the song keep you warm in the cold
Let it give you strength
The song will feed your soul
Music will warm your heart.

A word can’t be eaten
A song can’t be drunk
But still I’ll say it again:
Without joy there’s only sadness!

Without music you don’t feel well
Without joy it’s all so dull
Beauty can’t be bottled
Beauty will live forever.

Malta - "Il-Karozzin"

Our song for this year is “Il-Karozzin.”

“ Il-Karozzin” or “The Horsedrawn Carriage” was a popular means of transport in the Maltese islands in olden days. This means of transport was a common scene and one could see and hear the sound of hooves beating and clicking on the ground as the horsedrawn carriage passed through villages and towns, through the countryside and also along coast roads of the Maltese islands. The poor people depended on the horsedrawn carriage to take them on errands outside their village. The Horse Drawn Carriage was also used on special feasts and occasions such as Carnival or a wedding ceremony. Today the horsedrawn carriage is popular among tourists who would like to go round our magnificent and silent old capital city Imdina and today’s capital city Valletta.

Good Luck to all participants.

Moldova is represented by the north-eastern region of Romania and the song is about love, hope and Romania's beauties that makes our country unique and us proud of it.
Popular( folk) music is our most precious treasure enshrined and passed from generation to generation and we are pleased to share it with you this year, through this song.

My brother still read about aliens
Stars, planets and orbits
Nothing else he doesn’t want to hear
Even he write letters to the UFO
Finally, he deserved to be rewarded
And he saw a flying saucer
Because they landed in the garden today
Vehicle of the green Aliens

Chorus: Green hair, green shoes
            The whole Aliens are green

AUSTRIA - "Die lustigen Hammerschmiedgsölln" (The jolly blacksmith assistants)

Our contribution is a traditional Austrian folk-song.
Bettina, the Native-Speaker of our school helped us to translate the lyrics :
We are the jolly blacksmith assistants we can go away, we can stay,
we can do as we like.
Whether we are black(dirty) or white(clean)
doesn`t matter as long as we can wash ourselves.
So blacksmiths hammer as you please
and when we`ve hammered enough we`ll be quiet.

Our vocalists and dancers are 6 years old - the chickens of the school!
Greetings and good luck to you!!!!

The time for singing is close!

We are ready to receive this year's songs in the second edition of Schoolovision! Remember that all songs need to be uploaded to the blog by Friday 14th May, to allow all the 34 partner countries to view them and evaluate them before the big "live vote", Eurovision style, which will take place one week later. Details of this will follow shortly!

In the meantime, to create space here on the main blog for all the contest entries, I have moved all the "test videos" to the Schoolovision 2010 tests blog so that you can view them there.

Rules of the competition!

2010 Eurovision Song Contest- Oslo, Norway, 29 May 2010

“Schoolovision 2010”- May 2010

Following a similar format to the Eurovision Song Contest, Schoolovision 2010 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 14th 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. 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 14th May until Thursday 20th May.

On Friday 21st May 2010, 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 2010. 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, followed later by a separate invitation to contribute to the project's blog. You need to sign up for the blog, whereby you will be able to upload your finished song in due course.

In addition, please send Michael a brief description of your school, along with a photograph, that Michael will add to the blog, so that each country can see who is all taking part.

4. By the end of February 2010, you need to upload a short video of your school/ surrounding area, to introduce your country to all the others taking part. This also serves as a way of ensuring that all partners are able to use the blog successfully.

5. 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 can be a well known song, or an original song that perhaps no-one else will have heard of- it's up to you! When you have decided on your song, please email Michael with the name of the song. PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF THE SONG HAS BEEN COPYRIGHTED, YOU MUST GET PERMISSION BEFORE USING IT. IF YOU NEED TO GET PERMISSION (FROM THE PRODUCER) THEN YOU MUST EMAIL A COPY OF THIS PERMISSION TO MICHAEL BEFORE USING IT!!

6. 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!

7. All entries should be completed by Friday 14th 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 14th May, as each country will then need to watch all the entries and judge them during the following week- Monday 17th- Thursday 20th May.

8. Once you and your pupils have watched each entry and chosen your favourites, either email your choices to Michael Purves, before Friday 21st May, or you can give your votes, live, via webcam conference on Friday 21st 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!
