Hi! In the beginning of our project "Music - a language that unifies" our project wall looked quite empty. There were six countries on the map and the subtitle. Now, at the end of the project the wall is full of memories. The work goes on with lots of new friends and with lots of lovely things to remember.

The project meeting in Portugal 6.-10.5.2015

Dear Comenius friends!

It is soon time for our last visit, the last project meeting. It will be held in a sunny and lovely Cascais, hosted by our Portuguese friend school.

We are all very excited to visit Portugal and meet our friends again!

It will be the last visit for this co-operation, but I hope it won't be end to a long lasting friendship. "Friends forever" -  as our common project song is called!

Yours,

Laura from Rusko

Songtekst

Twee emmertjes water halen Twee emmertjes pompen

De meisjes op de klompen

De jongens op de houten been

Rijd maar door mijn straatje heen

Van je ras ras ras

Rijdt de koning door de plas

Van je voort voort voort

Rijdt de koning door de poort

Van je erk erk erk

Rijdt de koning naar de kerk

Van je één, twee, drie!

How to dance baile de la carrasquilla

The dance of the Carrasquilla (Castile) Spain

Video of the dancing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3CbHaMAcSo8

Lyrics

Este baile de la carrasquilla; 
es un baile muy disimulado, ' 
que en poniendo la rodilla en tierra 
todo el mundo se queda parado. 

A la vuelta, la vuelta Madrid, 
que este baile no se baila así; 
que se baila de espaldas, de espaldas, 
pues menea, menea esa falda. 

Pues menea, menea esos pies 
y a la vuelta se da un puntapié. 
En mi pueblo no se estila eso, 
que se estila un abrazo y un beso.

Hello friends,

http://youtu.be/o7INA1tS13E

This is a film of our entire school De Twirre. All children are playing their self made instruments.
At first you can hear the youngest children playing a Sinterklaas song.
After this all children play and sing a different Sinterklaas song.
Sinterklaas is a traditional celebration in the Netherlands. It's a little bit like Santa Claus. At the 5th of december a lot of children will receive some presents.
