Mrs. Uhler’s Grade 1 class at North Woods Elementary School have put some long, hard thought into how they would get to the North Pole if they had to. “I would drive to the ocean and then get a boat, but then I would walk and swim most of the way because I don’t know how to steer a boat. Then I would ask Santa for a special boat to take me home that steers itself.” Hudson M. from Listowel. “I would call Santa and ask him to send his sleigh with just Rudolph, since I’m smaller than Santa. Then I would have Rudolph take me to the North Pole and have him bring me back home too.” Blake A. from Brussels. “I would drive an airplane that I would get from the airport to the North Pole. I don’t know how to drive a plane, but I’ve been in one before. If I couldn’t drive it, my dad would, because he can do everything.” Austin L. from Ethel. “I would order a plane from Brussels then I would get my dad to drive it or something. I would call Santa and ask him to put presents out near his house so we would know where to land when we get to the North Pole.” Caitlyn J. from Brussels. “I would take a bus that’s special because it can go up on top of the water like a boat and ride it all the way to the North Pole without having to get cold or wet.” McKenna C. from Ethel. “I would use an airplane from the place that they keep airplanes to get to the North Pole. I would just press some buttons and drive. I think that’s how airplanes work. I’m not sure, I haven’t been on one before because I’m scared of heights. Amelia M. from Brussels. “To get to the North Pole I would take Santa’s sleigh by staying up late on Christmas Eve to ask Santa if I could borrow it. I would bring it back after though, so Santa could use it to finish giving out Christmas presents.” Alyssa M. from Brussels. “I would get Rudolph from Santa and a smaller sleigh and he would take me to the North Pole. When I got there I would go see Santa and give Rudolph back and Santa could give me a ride home and lots of presents too!” Stein B. from Atwood. “I would take a jet from the airplane port if I needed to get to the North Pole. I would get the person who works there to fly it and I would jump out and use the airbags you put on your back to land at the North Pole. They sort of look like parachutes.” Lorenzo H. from Brussels. “I would take an airplane to the North Pole, but I don’t know anyone who knows how to fly it so I would have to learn how to fly first and then go there and back on the airplane.” Ariana C. from Brussels. “I don’t really know how to get to the North Pole, but I think I would take a sled with dogs, not reindeer, since they know how to swim and there is water up there.” Sunny B. from Brussels. “I’d take a snowmobile if I had to get to the North Pole. They can go over water if it’s frozen. My dad would come with me and drive it because he knows how. If there wasn’t snow, I wouldn’t be able togo I don’t think.”Matthew Y. from Brussels. “I would take the Polar Express to get to the North Pole. It’s a train that takes you right there. My Mom says there is one in North Bay and that I could get on the train there.” James A. from Molesworth. “I would take a car to get to the North Pole and my dad would drive I think. Then he would drive a boat and we would drive the rest of theway in the boat. Then we couldcome back the same way.” Nick A. from Brussels. “I would walk and swim until I got there.” Tyler V. from Brussels. “I would get there in a snow sleigh that would be pulled by dogs because they can walk a long way before they get tired. Taylor R. from Brussels.
