"Harvesting" Comenius in Digranesskóli

On Tuesday, 3 June, the pupils of Digranesskóli invited their parents and family members to see the results of the Comenius activities of the spring term. In the school auditorium we showed samples of videos and PP presentations and the pupils sang the well-known children's song Head and shoulders in Finnish, Italian and Portuguese. At the end all the audience joined in singing and playing the song in Icelandic. On the "Comenius wall" in the school entrance we showed drawings from our three partner school and photos from the Lissabon meeting. Cds and other smaller items were in show-cases. The largest newspaper of Iceland, the Morgunblaðið, showed its interest by sending a journalist and a photographer. Everyone was very pleased, both the visitors and we here in the school.

Uppskeruhátíð Comeniusar var í Digranesskóla 3. júní og heppnaðist hún vel. Í sal skólans voru sýnd brot úr verkefnum vormisserisins, vídeómyndir og Power Point sýningar. Auk þess sungu börnin á tungumáli vinaskólanna. Hátíðinni lauk með því að allur salurinn söng Höfuð herðar hné og tær.

Here you can see some photos.

All the small - and bigger - animals

One of the compulsory tasks this school-year was a story about animals.

Finland, Italy and Iceland have alsready finished their task and are eagerly waiting for the Portugues story. - Actually the tale about the wonderful fife also had an animal - a donkey - in it.

Finland presents us a story about a mouse and her worries about her clothing - she was grey as a mouse and wanted more colours! Italy presented the story about the wolf and the fox, and as usually, the fox was clevered than the wolf. Iceland had two stories: The story about the sea-cows from Höfdi and the well-known tale about Búkolla, the milk-cow that disappeared - and was found again, as it should be in all godd stories. Here you can study drawings from the Finnish and the Italian tale. The Icelandic drawings about the sea-cows have aldready been published in a previous post.

Now that the end of the school-year is near I wish you all a very good summer holiday and thank you, both pupils, teachers and other staff members for a fine year. You are all great and have done a very good job. See you fresh next autumn.

All the best from Iceland
