European Day

How well can you identify and place all the countries and capitals in Europe? Year 5 are certainly experts! On our European Day the girls had the opportunity to read each other’s Half Term projects on two contrasting countries and answer a fun question sheet; Kristen Smithers in 5M scored the highest. Later we took the computer challenge with every girl participating on a timed test on a brilliant Europe website. Ashni Shah is Year 5 top country spotter on Level 4 with an amazing 96% accuracy. The top seven from each class then went head to head in an exciting final, finding all 46 capitals using a hand held answering device called Quizdom. 5B came out on top with many resounding 100% scores. Well done!

Emily-Anne Byrne (Year 6) entertained us with some Irish dancing before we had our countries catwalk. The girls paraded with their costumes; Kiera (Scottish), Ellie (Latvia), Yass (France), Esana (Norway), Jina (Spain), and Lehana (Turkey) were declared as the most ingenius.

The day was rounded off with a delicious feast of a huge variety of dishes and foods from across the continent.  Thank you parents for your support making this such a great day, demonstrating just how much the girls have learned this term.
