Passport to Europe!

Year 4

2

To introduce our topic, we immersed our-selves in a WOW! Day, tasting food from

France, Spain, Ireland and Italy. We looked at famous landmarks in these coun-tries, and listened to some traditional mu-

sic!

All four countries we fo-cused on are currently mem-bers of the European Union. This is a group of countries whose governments chose to work together. In 2016, the UK held a referendum and

voted to leave the EU.

We even learnt how to speak some of the

languages! What greetings can you re-

member?!

We used Jasper Johns ’Three Flags’ as inspiration for our flags. We used

scaling to measure our flags, and created three different versions of

the same flag.

We used experimented with differ-ent mediums, including oil pastels,

poster paint and water colours.

To celebrate the end of our topic, we created presentations on different European countries and created 3D structures of various Europe-

an flags.

We researched dif-ferent European

countries, such as the Netherlands, Norway and Czech Republic, and pre-

sented our findings to the rest of our

classes.

We had a go at making some traditional food. 4W made traditional Irish soda

bread, called ‘biadh à Èirinn’

We also welcomed Olivia to Parkfield for the day. She is a dance teacher who lives in London, and she came to teach us tra-ditional dances from Spain, Ireland, Ger-

many and Greece.
