During the spring term we explored the continent of Europe - comparing the United Kingdom and Iceland. We discovered that while both nations are located in Europe, they boast vastly different landscapes, cultures, and climates.

In contrast, Great Britain's lush green countryside, historic landmarks, and bustling cities offer a vibrant tapestry of experiences.
