Pa mwnafeni:「What were giving their round of applause to everybody listening? Finlay, I'd like to wish all of our finalists the very best of luck and of course good luck if you are attempting the quiz in your classroom or indeed in the public galleries. I've tried at a failed, I hope you have a very enjoyable day—so, thank you very much. Now what I'm going to do pięt of all of all is go round the various schools and if the one person in the school is hoping that you've picked somebody, go put both I know where Shetland is now to identify. First of all, Albin school Aberdeen city, where are you? You've had a terrible journey haven't you? All but coming down on a horse, you've had to come down in taxes and everything, well done to arriving. Allaway primary, where are you? There's Allaway, Bonnyrig, Kearney hill, Cymru bank, where's Cymru bank? Oh, I can't see your hands up, you need to put them up. Cymru bank? You're very shy, there you are. Crown primary, where's Crown primary? Oh yes, good for you. Fortale primary, Dundee, where are you? There you go. Hermitage primary, Lensie, Loretto, Lowport, Melrose. Ah, there's my Melrose people, I'll wave back. Miliforist, Miliforist? One lovely name, Miliforist. Nether Robertland, Nether Robertland, Newington, Our Lady in St Francis, Skeens. Where are you? Oh, there you are, there, you're way over there. Oh now, I've got to get this right. Tell me if I've got it wrong. Scall and Rua, is that right? Close, thank you. Springhill and Hawkingback, there we are, St Catherine's, St Dennis, St Dominic's, St Leonard's, all the saints together, St Mary's. Oh, way at the back, St Sylvester's, Strathblain, Strath Devon, Tingwell. Ah, yes, with the Shetland pony, yes. West Kilbride, Windhill and Whitehill's. Well goodness me, I think that's super. We've got from all over Scotland. Now, I've got a wee message to read to you from the Deputy First Minister, who also is the Cabinet Secretary for Education, who unfortunately can't be here today, so here's what he has to say. Scotland believes in internationalism and we want Scotland to be as well connected as possible to the rest of Europe and the world so that we can work well with other nations and contribute to the success of our global community. EuroQuiz is a fantastic opportunity for you to learn more about and celebrate the wonderfully rich and diverse cultures, history, geography, current affairs and languages of our fellow Europeans. Language learning is exciting and can support learning about others and the development of active global citizens. That's why we're so committed to ensuring that language learning throughout school is normal for all our young people. Congratulations to everyone who has participated in this year's EuroQuiz and, in particular, to those of you who have reached the national final here at the Scottish Parliament. Good luck to all the finalists. It's now my great pleasure to invite Graham Blyth, head of the Office of the European Commission in Scotland, to give an overview, an explanation of how the quiz will run. Now, I'm going to pay attention and you pay attention and together we might get this right. Thank you. Good afternoon. You're all being very, very good, so I'll say good afternoon and you have to say good afternoon back. Remember, I'm getting old, so you're going to have to say it very loud. Good afternoon. Do you think that you can do better than that? Just give me a big cheer, because we're privileged to be here in the Scottish Parliament, in the chamber of the Scottish Parliament, and children are watching you across Scotland, so let's give it a big good afternoon. Very good. I should actually say that it is indeed a fantastic privilege that we are here in the Scottish Parliament and we're most grateful to the Parliament and most grateful indeed, of course, to the deputy presiding officer, Christine Graham, who's taken on the role of our quiz master for the Euro quiz. So I think that before we begin any further, we should do another round of applause for Christine Graham, the deputy presiding officer. I should also say that the production of the Euro quiz is something of an iceberg. You really only see the tiny bit at the top. You don't see all that goes on below, and I know that it's a tremendous work to bring this whole business together. There's a number of unsung heroes, and I want to identify at least two of them, one that I can't find at the moment, but one that's sitting very quietly over here is Jane. I can't see Madeline wherever Madeline is, but Madeline's hiding at the back. I think that Jane can represent Madeline here, but Jane is from Seat. Along with the trustees of the Scottish European Educational Trust, she has travelled all over Scotland to produce the Euro quiz, so I think that we should also give a round of applause to Jane and Madeline and the trustees. I should also say that we are in distinguished company here as the deputy presiding officer mentioned. It is indeed a great honour to have joining us here Sir David Edward, who is the distinguished former judge at the European Court of Justice. Sir David is sitting here. Talking about the iceberg, I know that to get here, as the deputy presiding officer said, has been a lot of hard work, and it's great to see you all here, the finalists, but we know that also to get you here, there's mums and dads and aunts and uncles and grannies and grandpas that have made this possible too, and of course especially your teachers who have made this possible, so I think we should give them a round of applause too. And for teachers and parents sitting in the gallery, there are answer sheets in the programme, so you can see how well you're doing in the quiz as well. I should also remind you again that we are being broadcast live and we would once again would like to welcome all schools and supporters who are watching us remotely. Okay, the quiz. How is it going to be run? I will run through it and probably have to run through it again at a later point, but anyway, so this is the important point. Today's Euro quiz is made up of three rounds in which you will participate or participate. We will start very soon with round one which has 20 questions. These will be answered in pairs within your teams and the points will be added up to give the team score. We then will move to round two, the language round. This involves 15 questions for teams and during this round you may discuss your answers. The first 10 questions are spoken questions in German, Spanish, Italian and French, followed by five general knowledge language questions. Those questions have been developed thanks to the partnership that we enjoy with Education Scotland and SILT, Scotland's National Centre for Languages. All the questions have been recorded by native speakers from students from Heriot-Watt University here in Edinburgh. This will then be followed by round three which focuses on history, culture and the European Union. This round has 20 questions and at this stage you will again be asked to work in pairs with a person sitting next to you. Points will be added up to give the team score. After each round I will take you through the correct answers while the papers are being marked. I'm the lucky one, I've got the answers to the question, I've got the easy part, you've got the difficult part. The two teams in the lead at the end of round three will go forward to the final round. Round four has 10 questions for teams followed by the all-important buzzer questions to decide the overall winning team of EuroQuiz 2017. I hasten to add, instructions will be repeated again before we start each round, so do not worry. It's now my privilege to hand you back to our quiz master, the Deputy Presiding Officer of the Scottish Parliament, Christine Graham, so that we can make a start. That was a lot to remember, so I'll just very quickly go over the first round again. You've got 20 questions in round one for you to answer in pairs, so work with the person next to you, listen of course to the question, you can discuss your answer and one of you should write the answer on the answer sheet. Remember, you're not allowed to confer with the other pair in your team. If that happens, there's an ejector button here and I press it and you'll shoot right up through the roof, just a wee warning. You should have two green answer sheets in front of you, just check one sheet per pair, make sure you've got the name of your school at the top and listen carefully to the questions which will also, as I understand it, by the magic of technology appear behind me. Please try to spell as well as you can, but if you get the spelling wrong, it won't count as long as we can understand what you've written down. That makes sense. I'll read the questions and I'll ask the question twice, but they'll not be repeated after this and I'll give you quite a wee bit of time as we begin this to get, but we might speed up with getting your answer so we go on. Here we go. Pens at the ready, brains locked in, turn your back on your neighbours, don't let them see what you're writing. Nicosia is the capital of which European country.

And the last question, number 20 in this round. In which country would you find the Laerdal tunnel, the longest road tunnel in Europe? In which country would you find the Laerdal tunnel, the longest road tunnel in Europe? There we are. I have a quick check over your answers. Make sure that they're legible. Now can I ask the teachers who are doing the marking to collect in the answer papers please? Can I just check that all the papers have been collected in, have they? Right. Now crunch time. Can I ask Grave Blythe to come to lect and take us through all the answers? We'll see how we did. Thank you. That's pretty tough, I thought, and I've got the answer sheet. I think you're going to have to give me a wee bit of a hand with this as well, because you've got the answers better than me. Let's do a mixture of you and also the answers for me. So let's go to the very first question. Can anyone tell me from any of the schools? Oh my gosh. We'll just pick one at random and I'm testing my eyesight here. So let's go for the hermitage.

White hill, sorry, I can't read it. Sorry. No way. Excellent. Well done. Really well done. Many congratulations to you all. I think that you all deserve to give yourselves a big round of applause. Well done. My goodness, you should all be in master mind. That was absolutely extraordinary or either that. I'll go back to primary 6 and start again. We now move on to round 2. This involves 15 questions for teams and you may discuss your answers. You should have one blue answer sheet per team in front of you. Please write the name of your school at the top of the sheet. I understand that it's all four of you this time. The first 10 questions are spoken language questions in German, Spanish, Italian and French, followed by five general knowledge language questions in English. For the first five questions, you'll be asked five questions in English, then you'll hear a short phrase or question spoken in the different European languages and I'll repeat. German, Spanish, Italian and French. You will hear each recording twice. After the second time, you'll be given a few moments to discuss the answer with your team. Write down your answer in English on your sheet. You may make notes at any time, but it's extremely important. I know that you'll understand this, that you remain silent while you're listening to the voices and obviously when you're discussing the answer, I do it in a little whisper just so nobody else hears what you think the answer is. We start. Number one, what does this mean in English? Now, quite late because we're going to repeat it. Right. Second question. What does this person want to know? Repeat it again, please. Third question. What does this mean in English? And I'll have that repeated again, please. Discussion going on with that one. What is this person asking for? Repeat it, please.

You'll hear the answer spoken in German, Spanish, Italian and French. Please write down the answer to the question in English on your sheet. You don't need to translate the whole phrase, just listen for the piece of information you're asked for. The questions are written on your answer sheets to remind you. You may make notes at any time, but again, it's very important that you're silent while you're listening to the voices. I know it's tempting to whisper, but if you just wait and then you write it down, then you can speak once you've had it. So number six, what type of soup do they order? I'll repeat that.

I'll now ask teachers to collect the papers for marking and talk amongst yourselves. I think all the papers have been collected in so to put you out of your misery and put me out of my misery and put me out of my misery. I think all the papers have been collected in, so to put you out of your misery and put me out of my misery, I'll ask Graeme Blyth to elect him to take us through the answers. I thought that was pretty tough. You can certainly tell why you're finalist. I agree with the deputy presiding officer that that was particularly tough, I must say, but anyway, I think we're going to try and do this again. I think we're going to need your help even though I've got the answers on this, so let's start again and see where we can help each other.

Not Flemish, so it has been third choice. Who? So shall we go? It's a tricky one. It was a pretty tricky question, must be said. And here we are. There you are. See you get it. Sintlennas, you got it right then. Brazilian. Friesian. Well done. We had a picture of the flag earlier in the competition. Can anyone help me out? In which European country is the national language called Havatski? So shall we go to Newington? Croatia, well done. And we're on the penultimate question. There are actually five possible answers.

Back to the West Niles. I think it might be Fidizion. Friesian? No, it's not Friesian. It's quite hard. Shall I give you a clue? OK, we've got a very keen St Sylvester's at the back here.

Let's go back to Crown Primary School. Danish, well done. Excellent, excellent, yeah. And I must say, if I thought this was pretty hard, the penultimate question, but I must say that the last question was, I thought, very, very hard. So congratulations to whoever got this. Lasher Dines means good morning in the language of what people who live in many parts of Europe fill in the blank. The slight clue to a very, very difficult question, there were four spaces, but that was it, which was a pretty hard question. So where should we go? Should we go to... We've got a very keen Saint Dominic primary here. From Perth and King Ross. Roma. The Roma, well done, excellent. So I think again, I think you all deserve a huge, great, big round of applause for doing extremely well. Congratulations. I think what interests me was watching you. Can you put your hands up, those who understood the questions in German, in Spanish, in Italian, in French? I thought so, I thought so. Now we move on to our third and final round. And after round three, we'll know who our finalists are. This round will be 20 questions for you to answer and we're back to being in pairs. You work with the person next to you, listen to the question, you can then discuss your answer and one of you should write the answer on the answer sheet.

If you want a drink of water, if you move to the back of the room, you can get some water. If you want to go out to toilet, you can go through the door at the back of the chamber. I'd like an air hostess over at that door over there and someone will show you the direction. Can I ask you please, in any event, to be back here at 2.55. That's a 15-minute break but certainly get up and move around. You've been sitting still a long time. We'll see you at 2.55.
