Klara Larsson, 5B, gives a speech about Alfred NobelOn the morning of Friday 9th December, IES Junior School held their annual Nobelfika ceremony. Students and teachers came into school in their party clothes, eager to see who had won the prestigious Literature and Peace prizes. All classes gathered in the small lunch room that was specially decorated for the occasion.

Next came the prizegiving with two awards for each class - a Literature Prize and a Peace Prize.

For the Peace Prize, all classes voted for the student that they thought was consistently a good friend and a good classmate.
