The visit is part of the group's town tour, and following the visit, the mayor receives an invitation to the nursery, where the group has put on a themed exhibition about their town, its main places and landmarks. This year, in the name of the Flower Town.

The local area and the nursery garden are very dear to the group, especially the adventure playground, where they feel that the standard of cleanliness could be much improved. They are calling for more rubbish bins, signs with rules for proper conduct, and benches and tables for the parents who want to accompany them to the area and be with them. The group made a lovely request to repair the outdoor shelter and facilities in Tr\u00f6llask\u00f3gur, which is heavily used by the nursery children. There was also great excitement about getting a boat or a car for the park, in addition to the existing play equipment. All of the group's suggestions have already been passed on.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/hafnarfjordur.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/img_4318-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_4318\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 2048px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 2048\/1366;\"><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Annual yet unique graduation exhibition <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Immediately following the children's visit to the mayor, the mayor visits the children at the nursery and gets to see and experience the year's graduation show, which is always the same yet unique, as it is conceived and designed with the graduating group each time. For over 20 years, the tradition has been for the nursery's graduating class to put on a show that reflects and showcases the buildings the children themselves decide to feature each time, based on their field trips around the town.\u00a0 The children all come up with suggestions for a name for their town, and this year the most popular names were Flower Town, Cherry Town and Troll Town. A proper vote was held for the name, with 20 children on the electoral roll. The name Flower Town received the most votes. These reciprocal visits are always great fun, and the children are very enthusiastic about the project and the mayor's work.&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Helstu sta\u00f0irnir \u00ed Hafnarfir\u00f0i endurspeglast \u00ed \u00fatskriftars\u00fdningu \u2013 me\u00f0 \u00feeirra augum Til fj\u00f6lda \u00e1ra hefur \u00fatskriftarh\u00f3pur nemenda \u00ed leiksk\u00f3lanum Hl\u00ed\u00f0arenda heims\u00f3tt b\u00e6jarstj\u00f3ra \u00ed R\u00e1\u00f0h\u00fas Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar \u00ed spjall og me\u00f0 spurningar um l\u00edfi\u00f0 og tilveruna \u00ed b\u00e6num s\u00ednum.
