A huge congratulations to our P6 Euroquiz team – Ava, Florrie, Tadhg and Michael who won the Shetland Heat on Thursday. They will be representing Shetland at the final in Edinburgh in June. They worked really hard and we are all very proud of them – well done!
The Jarl and his squad came to visit everyone at the school. Primary 3/4 prepared a game full of challenges, games and questions to play with the Jarl. There was a swapping of gifts which was followed with a Boston Two Step danced by Pupils, Vikings, parents, friends and staff.
This year four pupils, Caoilinn, Bobby, Holly and Zander went to the Euro-quiz heats in Shetland and won. On 13th of May they travelled to Edinburgh to take part in the finals. All the schools that won their heats went to the final which was held in the debating chamber of the Scottish parliament on the 14th.
There were four rounds and all the teams took part in three. The rounds were geography, language and understanding Europe. The last round was for the two leading teams. There were buzzers and microphones and the team who got the most points won the Euro-quiz 2018.
Whiteness was representing Shetland for the quiz and came 16th out of 31 teams that were in the finals. 472 teams took part in their local heats.
They had a great time going inside the parliament and seeing Edinburgh and have learned a lot more about Europe on this experience.
They would like to say thank you to all the support and encouragement we have had from teachers and parents and another thank you to the Scottish parliament and all the people who made Euro quiz 2018 happen!
