Akulliit Illugiaq 2012 - Day Three(ish)


We are still building our illugiaq.


Tupaarnaq cuts out a large square of snow.


Vittus and Kaaleeraq shape the building blocks.


The square Tupaarnaq cut needed four students to carry it.


Miilaaraq finds a smaller block.


Vittus and Kaaleeraq need to work together.


Sometimes the blocks of snow fall to pieces.


But we can use nearly everything we cut out of the snow.


The walls are getting higher and higher.


Pipaluk looks a little scary with the saw.


More blocks are cut out of the ground.


Kaaleeraq and Mario take a quick break for the camera.


Frederikke shapes the walls ready for another block of snow.


Pipaluk brings just the right piece.


Vittus finds a piece that just fits in the hand!


We need to cut a door soon.


But we are still not finished!

Akulliit Illugiaq 2012 - Day Three


Day three! Today we started with a cocoa break. We made it in the kitchen before coming down to the ice. Somebody added way too much sugar!


Then we did a little work.


Just in time for more hot chocolate.


A bit more work - the boys joined us too.


More hot chocolate!


We are getting a bit worried about our walls.


But the view is great!

Akulliit Illugiaq 2012 - Day Two


It was overcast today when we were building the illugiaq. Zella from 4th grade came to lend a hand.


The illugiaq is starting to take shape. We can even lie down out of the wind.


Nicoline waves to the camera while a hunter gets his dog team ready.

Akulliit Illugiaq 2012 - dag et


Så har vi flere billeder fra vores Illugiaq Projekt!


Frederikke har styr på værktøjerne!


Det har resten af holdet også! Drengene synes det var for koldt i dag og vil ikke med!

 
 Tupaarnaq og Pipaluk arbejde med sne ved siden af stranden.


Birgithe og Miillaaraq krydse klinger! 


Akisooq er parat til hårdt arbejde.


Der er lidt diskussion i "huset".


Holdet er samlet til en gruppe billeder men Mîdtlâraq arbejde endnu!

Akulliit Illugiaq 2012 - Day One


Day 1 of Akulliit's "Illuigaq 2012" project. We went down to the ice to find a spot for our illugiaq.


Tupaarnaq and Pipaluk started to cut large blocks of snow.


Nicoline carried them down to the ice.


Birgithe and Simigaq put them in place - we need to make them a bit thicker!


Miillaaraq brought some more blocks of snow.


Tupaarnaq dug out her working area - it was -25 C.


Birgithe keeps an eye on the project.


Simigaq enjoys the sun!

Illuigaq 2012


Vi har et nyt projekt! I denne uge begynder 6. og 7. klasse at bygge en iglo. Vi har plan om at sove i vores færdig byggede "illuigaq" i næste uge!

Når vi har billeder oploade vi dem her.

We have a new project! During this week the 6th and 7th graders are going to build an igloo. We plan to sleep in the finished "illuigaq" next week.

When we have photos we will upload them here.

 

Angajulliit har været i gang med deres illuigaq et par dage (billedet er fra i dag den 15. marts).

Angajulliit has been building their illugiaq for a few days now (this picture is from the 15th March.)
