If you want to get to the North Pole, ask the students at North Woods Elementary School how to get there. You may want to leave yourself some extra time though, according to these guys, times of arrival may vary. Back row, from left: J.T.

(Denny Scott photo) According to the Grade One students at North Woods Elementary School near Ethel, there are some direct ways, some indirect ways, some mysteriously specific timelines and some downright magical transportation options for travelling to the North Pole. When asked how they would get to Santa's abode and how long it would take, the group of students had ideas from the run-of-the-mill jet plane taking a few minutes to a century - long quest to visit the home of the elusive Claus. "I would take a jet plane because if you didn't have a jet or a fast plane you would be slower. I've been to the North Pole before and it will take 55 days to get there" Harlen "I would drive with my mom and [brother] Jeffrey and we would take an airplane because it's fast. It would take two minutes to get to the North Pole." Emily "It would take 10 days to get to the North Pole and if I had to go there, I would ride in a North Pole plane. It's the kind of plane that can land in the water. I would probably fly it because I've been to the North Pole before." Ethan "I would use a snowmobile to go visit Santa Claus and I think it would take 50 hours to get there. I would bring a gas bottle in case I ran out of gas. My uncle used to let me ride on his snowmobile so I know how they work" Ryker "I could get to the North Pole in 13 minutes. I would go there with a plane. I would drive to the airport with my mom and dad and get on the plane and fly there with someone who knows how to fly a plane" Jesa "I would fly to the North Pole to visit Santa Claus in a helicopter. I think it would take about four minutes. I would probably have to get the helicopter from a person who has a helicopter because I don't know anyone who has a helicopter and I don't have one." Bronwyn "It would take 10 days to get to the North Pole because it's really high. It's like really, really high up there. I would get there in an airplane. I've been in a helicopter but a helicopter can't go as high as the North Pole is, so I would get a plane. A plane would go really high to get there and get to Santa. Then I would ask Santa for my own plane." Connor "I think the North Pole is a really far away place so it would take a whole day to get there. I would go in a plane, but not like the planes at the airport. I would take a North Pole plane. It's special because it flies to the North Pole. It doesn't go anywhere else." Bridget "I think it would be a 10 -hour plane trip to the North Pole. I want to go on a plane because it's fun and you can have snacks and watch Christmas movies." Claire "If you take a balloon to the North Pole it would take a very long time and you might miss it. It would take a half hour to get to the North Pole if you take an air plane. I would take an airplane so I could get there quickly." J.T. "To get to the North Pole I would think you would take a car to an airport, then hop in a plane and then hop in a boat because the North Pole is far away. We might need an alien ship to get there after that because it's on a different piece of the earth. PEACE ON EAR'I'11 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all our customers, friends & neighbours!

Caden "I've been on a plane. You get to watch movies and eat food, so you should take that to the North Pole. It would take 60 days to get there on a plane, but you could watch movies and eat food so that would be okay." Eliah "The North Pole is a long way away so I think it would take 16 hours to get there from the airport. I would go to the airport and get on an airplane. My mom and my Dad would take me to the airport and get me on the plane to get to Santa Claus at the North Pole." "I think it would take 100 years because the North Pole is very, very far away. I would take a plane, but planes can't get there. Jet planes can get there, because they are faster than a small plane and jet planes are loud and cool." Willy "The North Pole is actually up in the sky so it would take 34 hours going straight up to get there. I would take a helicopter because it flies straight up and it can move back and forward, not like a plane." Lucas "I would take a helicopter or an airplane because the North Pole is very far away and very cold and you Continued on page 27 _.0000,41: cx —'71 ei Irrayirirri ii Merry Christmas and best wishes for 2018.
