Spanish theme work in 4th-6th grade

4th, 5th and 6th grate, in Barnaskólinn á Eyrarbakka og Stokkseyri (Iceland), focused on three things, Montearagón castle, city of Jaca and Vikings in Iceland.

The students were divided in to three mixed groups from all the classes. One group took Montearagón, another took the city of Jaca and the third Vikings. We got a scholar to come and talk to the kids about Aragon and the Vikings. They made a poster of the subject there group had. There were six teachers and three support personnel with 32 students. It was a lot of fun and the kids enjoyed it.

Spanish theme day in Iceland

In the middle of Febuary our students in the 7th-10th grade in our school in Stokkseyri put on a school project where they paid tribute to Aragon, the North Spanish community and their cultural heritage. 

Students decorated the school, put on some interesting shows and lectures about wildlife, geography, history and culture, learned the Paleo stick dance and manufactured a wonderful Tapas fiesta.

The making of our Erasmus+ wall

We had our pupils in the 5th and 6th grade design the Erasmus+ wall or corner in our school in Stokkseyri (for 1st-6th grade). This is a work in progress and is starting to look amazing in our opinion. Now we are hanging up the projects from our pupils and also putting information about Spain. As the project grows we will also fill it with information about Germany, Greece and Iceland. 

Trying to arange the best look.

The kids had fun working on this project.

Very focused at work.

Always time to smile.

 This is the outcome of our Erasmus´+ wall. We are very proud of our work and are looking forward to see it evolve when we start working on the other participant projects.

The school in Eyrarbakki (12-15 year old pupils)

Our school is based in two towns Stokkseyri and Eyrarbakki. The youngest devision and middle devision are based in Stokkseyri and the oldest are based in Eyrarbakki. We use a school bus to commute the pupils from both towns.
