"Flatovision"

News from Iceland

When we decided to take part in Schoolovision we thought it would be a good idea to organize Flatovision to let the students show off their talent. They got a little over a month to prepare and choose a song.

Fourteen numbers were registered which included soloists, duets, and larger groups performing, two of which were created by the students. We had five externals judging the competition and it turned out so well that we‘re interested in turning this into a yearly event. Now all we have to do is to create a video and publish it on the internet in time. Thanks for this great idea Michael.

Iceland are represented by Flataskoli Gardabaer which is situated not far from the capital of the island, Reykjavík.
Flataskoli is a primary school with 320 students aged 6 to 12 years old. It was established in 1958 so we are celebrating 50 years of our school this year. We are doing a lot of activities because of the 50th years anniversary and this is a good opportunity to do something different.

In late March, we held our school elimination round, called Flatovision, where many pupils sang songs and we chose a winner. So, the song we will sing is called "Open your Heart" and we hope you all enjoy listening to it in May.
