Icelandic Day - Land of Fire & Ice

Earlier in the year, the topic of the term for years 3 & 4 was Iceland - the Land of Fire and Ice. The children all really enjoyed this, and at the end of the half term all the parents were invited to the school to hear about their findings.

They put on a fantastic afternoon for everyone, and set up the hall as if it was an Icelandic Tourism Information Centre. You could wander freely between exhibits the children had made, and they helped parents to learn Icelandic phrases, and imagine they were planning a trip to Iceland!

Everyone got to watch a volcanic eruption, enjoy Icelandic cakes, look at all the fantastic projects the children had done. There were computer coding animations they'd produced, and at the end we were treated to a traditional Icelandic dance. It was clearly a topic the children enjoyed learning about, and really captured their imagination for pretending we were all going on a trip to Iceland.
