We Have been very busy in 4th class working on our European Project – The Blue Star Project. We got a chance to log onto a website which is all about the EU and we all were able to play a quiz online in pairs. We learned loads of things about history and geography while we did this quiz and it was really good fun! You could even try it at home – http://europa.eu/europago/welcome.jsp
Here are some pictures of some of the questions we had to answer
We are taking part in the Blue Star Programme. It is all about the European Union. We went on a trip yesterday to the European Parliament Office on Molesworth Street to find out more information about the EU.
We left the school at 9am and got the number 16 bus into town. We were a little too early so we had to wait in the office for Anne (a staff member in the office) to arrive. Anne arrived and she brought us into the conference room. She gave us a presentation about the EU and let us watch a DVD. After all this we had a quiz about the European Union. It was great fun and we really enjoyed it. DJFF won the quiz and they got cool colouring pencils!! We each got a mouse pad, bookmark and an information book. We learned so much!
We told you a couple of weeks ago that we were each completing a project on a country from the EU for our Blue Star project. We also told you that each of us wrote a letter to the embassy of the country we were completing our project on. We have been getting post every day for the last few days. It has been so exciting!!

We are taking part in a European project called the Blue Star Programme. At the moment we are completing the Geography strand of the project and 6th class are completing the History strand of the project. Everyone in our class got a country that is part of the European Union. Everyone got a country I Flori got Malta and Cathal got Sweden . At the moment we are writing letters to the embassies of our countries in Ireland. We found the addresses of the embassies on the internet and learned how to address envelopes, we hope to post them on Friday! We are hoping that in June we receive a Blue Star flag after we complete our projects.
