Well, what a trip they had! We are really pleased to report all school groups on our study trips to Iceland during the latest volcanic eruptions are now home in the UK. Some groups saw more of Iceland than planned with a trip round Iceland going all the way round on Route 1 to get back to Reykjavik. Although one group did travel through the night! A big thank you to all our teachers who were in Iceland - welcome home!
And if you thought the students were having a good time - yes they did - we organised additional activities like whale watching, and horse riding. But don't worry, if you thought the students were having too much of a good time some even went to school for their lessons in an Icelandic secondary school.
If you want to learn how to pronounce Eyjafjallajökull, the volcano that caused the ash cloud, we have been practising quite a bit. So here goes Aaya-fiatla-yurkult! Easy!
To witness how practised and organised the Icelandic people are when it comes to keeping people safe during a volcanic eruption being there really did bring the text book to life. To find out more on the volcanos visit our guide to volcanos.
If you would like to take your students to Iceland to really see the Living Planet at work - not in a text book we would be delighted to help. To see how other schools feel about their educational visit with Discover the World please see our testimonial page.
Once again, welcome back to all our schools. Lorraine
