GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE

Zooming through Time • Buckle up! Today, we’re heading off on a journey through two thrilling parts of European history: the fast-paced world of Grand Prix racing, and the magical wonderland known as Europa-Park in Germany. These two exciting attractions may seem very different, but they share one thing in common – they’ve both captured the hearts of millions across the world.

Meet the mascots of Europa-Park! • Europa-Park wouldn’t be the same without its cheerful cast of mascots who bring smiles, shows and stories to life!

Life in the Trees • Trees are not just beautiful and important for the air we breathe – they’re also home to many creatures! Some animals build nests in the branches, others find food in the bark, and some even spend their whole lives high up in the leafy canopy.

King of the Savannah • Lions are one of the most famous animals on the planet – and for good reason! With their powerful bodies, loud roars and impressive manes, lions rule the African plains. But did you know that they’re also part of something special called THE BIG FIVE? Let’s take a closer look at what makes lions so legendary.

Giraffes: Nature’s Gentle Giants • Giraffes are some of the most extraordinary animals in the animal kingdom! With their long necks, spotty coats and peaceful nature, they quietly roam the African grasslands, munching on leaves and peeking over treetops. But there’s more to giraffes than just their height – these gentle giants have some fascinating secrets to share!

The Samurai of Feudal Japan • From around 1100 to 1800 CE, Japan was home to some of the most skilled and disciplined warriors in history – the Samurai! These fearless fighters weren’t just known for their legendary sword skills, but also for the strict honour code they followed called Bushido, which means “The Way of the Warrior.”

Lizards: Scaly Survivors • Lizards are one of the most widespread and diverse groups in the reptile family. Found on every continent except Antarctica, they come in all shapes, sizes and colours – from the speedy desert-dwelling whiptail to the mighty monitor lizard.

Have FUN with FUNGI • Fungi (the plural of fungus) both cure and cause disease. They determine what plants grow in your yard and in forests, and keep us from being buried in waste. Some fungi taste great – others taste and smell terrible. Some can kill you and others can heal you.

Make a spore print! • Mushrooms and toadstools are the reproductive (fruiting) bodies of fungi. These fruiting bodies produce masses of tiny specks, called spores. The spores fall from the mushroom or toadstool and develop into new fungi. Each fruiting body has its own spore pattern. You can see the pattern by making a spore print.

Weird and Wonderful Fungi • Think fungi are just boring brown mushrooms? Think again! From glowing lights in dark forests to fungi that take over insect bodies, nature is full of funky fungi that will amaze you.
