On 14 March, the last day of the Spring Term, 40 girls and 4 members of staff headed to Iceland for a week in the snow, ice and sunshine. The Icelandic winter had provided more snow than usual. Here are a few diary extracts;

"After breakfast we set off to the glacier Solheimajokull…"

"When we arrived at the beautiful glacier we took many pictures and stood amazed before it. David explained how it had been formed and after we all had fun sliding in the snow…"

"We then walked the 4km back to the coach, seeing a sleigh pulled by husky dogs on the way. We made our was to the beautiful Skogarfoss waterfall, where legend has it treasure is buried…"

"In my opinion the waterfall was one of the most beautiful and breathtaking sights in the world. The smells, sounds and cold wind all added to the experience. The rainbow stretching across the waterfall was particularly impressive…"

"The snow was smooth, the hill was steep and the girls were daring…Everyone had a go at sliding down the slope…"

"I had a fantastic and enjoyable time. I cannot believe how much I saw and did!
