The children of Class 3 are engaged in a variety of activities related to the countries of the European Union. They learn about the geography, history and culture including language using different media.

This could include art projects, music, cooking, discussions and research. This year we have learnt about bread making, studied European coins and explored European castles. We have also “visited” several countries in our lessons including Germany, France, Spain and Italy.

The classes are interactive and usually taught in 2 languages to enable all of the children to understand and access the topic.

The European Games are part of the European Hours. During these lessons the children are able to try out the different European games and get to know them. A wide variety of activities is offered, such as table tennis, badminton, handball, and basketball, athletics and gymnastics. Of course football is also part of the offer. Children can develop different techniques with practicing with a lot of fun.
