We are on the coach travelling back to Hockerill after a safe flight . We will call with an ETA closer to home. If traffic clear 3 pm is likely.

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Only just boarding flight now so maybe a little delayed . Your children will call with an ETA when we are on the way back to Hockerill .

The final chapter in our fabulous trip was to say thank you and goodbye to Frodo our Norwegian Viking bus driver . He has been amazingly kind , funny and above all patient with us all and he made our trip extra special.

How to teach waterfall formation - stand underneath one .

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

As it’s our last day we thought we should ensure the students are clean before they come home - Icelandic waterfall shower anyone ?

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Scary !

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Viking burgers anyone ? These students love role play !

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Where else can you skim stones on a volcanic lake ?

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Kerid volcanic crater - don’t panic it is 6500 years old.

Cooking bread Icelandic style. Using the geothermal heat takes 24 hours for one loaf .

Mind the gap between the Eurasian and North American plates please !

[HAEC Geography @haecgeography]

Thingvellir - where we can walk in between the Eurasian and North American plates again . Lots of historical significance and amazing views .
