European Union Projects

In 5th Class we have been busy learning about the European Union and the countries involved. We decided that we would like to find out a little more about each of the 27 countries in the European Union. We decided that each child would take a different country to research and complete their individual project on. Then each child gave a presentation on the information that they found out so we all learned a little about each country. Some children made models to accompany their projects and some children also brought in some food from the country they had studied. We had great fun from eating pizza and Cornetto’s from Italy to pickled onions from Estonia!

We really love the poem 'The Highwayman' by Alfred Noyes, (1880-1958).
'The wind was a torrent of darkness upon the gusty trees,
The moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas,
The road was a ribbon of moonlight looping the purple moor,
And the highwayman came riding--
Riding--riding--
The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn door.
'

After studying the poem, we wrote about our reactions to it, and
were inspired to paint the highwayman.
by C.D. by M.deC., who has seen and enjoyed the works and style of the Irish expressionist painter Jack Yeats.
