Eight Rotherham primary schools took part in the Rother-Vision event at Clifton Community Arts School, which has gained a European Award for Languages from the National Centre for Languages.

Each school chose a country to represent and performed a song in its language and traditional dress.

The youngsters also produced a short video in the host language.

Their efforts were then beamed back to each school, so fellow pupils could vote for what they thought were the best songs and performances.
