ON THE MOVE!

Today we were asked to tell each other what we already know about France and Paris. We also had to decide on some things that we would like to find out about our topic, so each group came up with a list of questions that we shared with the class.

Some of the things that we knew were:

• Paris is the capital of France.
• France is one of the biggest countries in Europe.
• The highest mountain in France is Mont Blanc.
• France has over 350 varieties of cheese!
• France won the World Cup in 1998.
• Cycling is a very popular sport in France.
• French schools are shut on Wednesday, but open on Saturday morning!
  The Eiffel Tower in Paris is a very popular tourist attraction.
• Euro Disney is 1/5 the size of Paris.
• Frog's Legs and snails are popular dishes.
  

Some of the things we want to find out are:

Why is the French flag red, white and blue?
Where do the French like to go on holiday?
How many nuts and bolts are there in the Eiffel Tower?
What hobbies do French Children have?
What do frog's legs and snails taste like?
How long is the Tour de France?
What is the traffic like in Paris?
What is it like to live in Paris compared to living in Pontyclun?
What is it like to drive on the other side of the road?
What is the population of France compared to Wales?
Will we beat France in the Six Nations next year? (If only we could find out that result six months early!)
