Ukraine - The Scarecrow


Hello from Ukraine!
🇺🇦This year we were not able to make the video we really wanted to produce because of the quarantine. Schools in Ukraine have been closed since 12 March and students are provided distance learning. Under such circumstances it was very difficult to make a proper entry but we tried to do our best.

Ukraine is mainly an agricultural country and people have orchards🌾🌿 to grow fruit 🍎🍐and vegetables. 🥒🍆🥦Very often they can be damaged by birds so people make scarecrows to scare and chase them.

The students are singing a song about a fearless scarecrow that stays in the garden. The lyrics were written by Dina Bondar and the music by Nataliia Saukh, they both live in our native city Cherkasy.

It’s a witty song; we hope it will improve your mood!🙂🙂🙂


A Scarecrow in a Straw Hat

There is a scarecrow in the garden

He wears a nice straw hat

He is very brave, he is afraid neither of the sun

Nor the thunder, nor darkness

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

He does his job very well!

The rain washes his clothes and the wind dries them.

He is fearless!

Every morning the sparrows fly to him to say hello

And he chases them away

Hey, hey hey, hey!

He does his job very well.

  16. Hello from Warsaw! An English teacher at our currently school invited children to vote in this contest. When my daughter opened the link and started listening to the first song ... I can’t describe her reaction ... "Це моя школа!!! Це ж Перша міська гімназія!!!" Thank you for your activity and participation in different interesting projects. Thanks to this, such pleasant surprises happen. I taki mały ten świat!
