Banksy paints Brexit!

Who is Banksy?

He is a British street artist whose works appear in different locations around the world. His identity is a secret, so he must work quickly to avoid being discovered.

He uses stencils (plantillas) to create his art, which often has a message.  Here are a few of his most famous works:









On Monday, 8th of May, this Banksy mural appeared in Dover, near the ferry that connects the UK with France:

It shows a worker removing one of the stars from the EU flag, now that the United Kingdom has voted to leave the European Union.

If you want to see more artwork by Banksy, here is his official website.

The Euro!

Our currency in the European Union is called the euro. 

One side of the coin is the same for all countries, but the other side is different for each.

Have you seen coins from other countries? Can you identify which country these coins are from?

If you have a euro coin from another country, bring it to class. I will take a picture of it and we can make a virtual collection!

This website will help you discover which country your coin is from!

Map games to practice:

European Relief (What is it called?)
European Relief 2 (Where is it?)
Coasts of Europe 1 (What is it called?)
Coasts of Europe 2 (Where is it?)

The maps about the coasts have a lot of information that you don't need to memorise, but you can use the  "Mirar" feature (instead of "Jugar") to practice!

After Semana Santa we will start to learn the countries of Europe (political map!)

Here is a presentation about Physical Geography of Europe. It includes rivers and climate (which we will learn about later!)
