Journey to the Land of Fire and Ice

During the October half term, 56 pupils across Year 10-13 took part in a Geography trip to Iceland as part of our broad LCA+ curriculum that advances our mission of Learning with Character.  Miss McCartney reports on their adventure:

We visited glaciers, geothermal springs, waterfalls and walked between the Eurasian and North American plate. Pupils developed a deeper understanding of the geological forces that shape our planet with a trip to the lava museum and they certainly enjoyed themselves swimming in the healing waters of the Blue Lagoon. Once of the most exciting parts of the trip, was trekking up to the top of Vatnajokull glacier only to travel far beneath the glacier to look at the internal mechanisms of this giant ice cap.

Thank you to all staff and pupils for making this trip one to remember.
