cause they are studying snow.

creatures such as different kinds of
dinosaurs, and different animals
suchaselephants, turtles, rabbits,
pigsand fish. A cat was made by
their teacher, Mrs. Colquhoun,
who first suggested snow sculpt

A lot of effort was put into these
sculptures, and we could tell
because they looked so good.
SKATING
BY JENNIFER BROWN AND
KATIE RO WBOTHAM
Every other Friday the whole
school enjoys skating at the
Brussels arena. The students are
taken by bus to the arena and when
they get there they participate in
many activities such as skating,
different drills, hockey skills and
snowballs.
Grey Central does this because if
the school didn’t, many children
would not get the chance to skate.
Everybody enjoys skating a lot
and would like to thank everyone
who made itpossiblefor them to
go.
