Year 3 and 4 took a trip round Europe calling in at Spain, Greece, Iceland and Sweden. The focus of the day was to learn more about each country and to know where they are on a map of Europe.
Each country (classroom) had its own activities; dancing, art and in the case of Sweden, they had a go at designing their own ‘Flat-pack’ furniture using just card , tape and glue. Some of the creations were truly wonderful and well thought out.
In Iceland, we focused on the beauty of the physical landscape, created some beautiful northern light chalk pictures as well mixing baking soda and vinegar to create a volcano eruption!
The whole day was creative, explorative and engaging – the kids loved it.
