Let's Get Quizzical

Quiz: How well do you remember the things you learned at primary school?

Primary schools opened up across the country this week for a new school year.

CHILDREN ACROSS THE country returned to their classrooms this week for a fresh school year. 

From Irish to Maths, Geography to History, children will expand their minds with new facts and figures throughout the year. 

But will everything they learn stick with them through the years? Just how much do you remember from what you learned in primary school? 

Let’s test your knowledge.
