Country of the Month Celebrations: Iceland The children have had great fun this month learning about Iceland. We did start this a little early with our Christmas Eve celebration of Jolabokoflod, where the children got to share their favourite stories with the friends with some warm cocoa. The Swans have had an exciting home learning challenge to build homes for the Arctic animals and there have been some lovely creations from them. They have also learnt about puffins and narwhals too. There have been ice-making home learning challenges for the younger children who have enjoyed exploring the natural objects found in the ice when it melted. The children have explored the colours of the Iceland flag and also talked about the exciting blend of colours in the Northern Lights too. The children even got to create their own Northern Lights too by mixing together their favourite colours of paint. The younger children explored silver, white and blue through their sensory play and really enjoyed the shiny discs and foil. The Ducklings created their own ‘Blue Lagoon’ and had a lot of fun filling and pouring the blue water.
