This term we have been learning all about Europe.  We decided for our topic that we would like to participate in the Inverclyde Euro Quiz. There were some useful resources we used to help us get ready.

To help us study, we used books and the internet to gather lots of information. We have been making fact files on different countries too. Each group in our class has a different country to become experts on and we have to design our own wall display, TV challenge and think about what we will have organised for our table at the Europe Day celebrations.

Mrs Falconer has taught us about the European Union, focusing on the history, the Euro and map work. We had challenges set each week, for example; learning all the member states, recognising each of the flags and identifying all the capital cities on a map. One of the hardest was learning the dates each country joined the EU!

We have been using a really good website to learn more about Europe. It’s the Europa website which has a Kids’ corner. This website has games including an online board game you can play alone or with family and friends.  It tells you about different currencies, famous people and landmarks, flags, languages and the European Union.

It definitely helped us because we got a good place in the Euro Quiz! We came 5th out of 16 teams!
