The Lost Fairy Tale Characters at Áslandsskóli
The musical 'The Lost Fairytale Characters', in the Year 3 class production at Ásland School, was very well received at the Easter harvest festival of the school's Culture Days. This annual cultural festival truly lives up to its name. The harvest was a rich one.
A bountiful harvest at the annual cultural festival
Life, play and song characterised Áslandskóli's annual cultural festival. Year 2 pupils sang a song. A Year 6 pupil played the guitar and another the piano. Year 7 pupils performed a dance. The band Hrafnaspark performed and brightened up the day. Year 10 pupils set up their acclaimed café, Klemma Bita, as a fundraiser. The festival was held before Easter and yes – it was magnificent.
The audience applauded and held up their phones to capture the students' brilliant performance. A packed entertainment programme was on offer.
The school decorated with works of art
The school was like a work of art, and this year's theme for the cultural days at Árlandsskóli was ZOO. The pupils used the week before the cultural festival for preparations. Everywhere you looked, you could see the pupils' handiwork, with sport playing a leading role.
