And done.

Thanks for all the boxes folks! I think we're finished with igloo construction.

Ta da

Ok, it may look a little wobbly at the top.  And it needs a tunnel door.

But it's sturdier than you think!

Because, of course, I'll have 23 kids ramming into it ("It was an accident Miss J!!") daily.

And up....

Up she goes...

Sharing from star of the week

If it was only for one day, it was still fun

Saturday was a beauteously cold day.  I know, I know, some of you wimpy people out there :) think it was too cold.  It was marvelous.

The rink was looking bumpy and there's one corner that still isn't covered so I had the hose out.

And then I went back at night to try and remove some of those bumps.  (And got totally freaked out by a cop who came around the back to investigate the lights, but that's another story)

And yay!  We got some use out of it on Monday.  

Not all the bumps are gone, but it was a lot better.

Who needs a rink, they'll skate anywhere.

a brief recap of months gone by:

Measuring in math class:

Anti-bullying Week:  A visit from a real life police officer!!

Visiting the cenotaph

Science class: turning a solid into a liquid by making it warmer

Our newest class member.  

Christmas break: figuring out how to assemble our Kinder surprises

Happy sigh

Finally.  Cold weather! :)  It made for some happy kiddies today on our beauteous rink.  Thanks to those dads who assembled it many moons ago.  It was fun to see it finally being used!

Well this wasn't a pleasant welcome back surprise...

Poor thing.

Judging by the bird poo flung about the classroom, this fellow was quite desperate to leave.

Unfortunately he was unsuccessful.

Not the nicest thing to see coming back after a holiday!
