Laurencekirk Primary School
20th - 23rd April 1999
Dear Familiar Faces (well Mr Taylor thinks they're familiar anyway)
It was really nice to welcome you all to Ballater Environmental Education Centre... It was a bit snowy on your arrival wasn't it? That was okay because you all brought plenty of clothes and waterproof shoes and things... didn't you? Just as well, because we always go out whatever the weather... as you can see from the photograph below.... and this was just the start of the afternoon's work!!!
All the best

Some Poems and Pictures
| Water Water is wet Water is Cool Water likes to run all over the school Don't use a lot of water a day Or you'll get a fright when it's time to pay Help our environment to keep safe So use your water at a slow pace Electricity We went to the cupboard in the hall To read the meter on the wall We looked at the numbers to see what it would say To find out the kilowatts we'd used that day 177 kilowatts we'd used that day |

This picture of Carly was taken by our roving photographer who took this picture of Carly with the camera down by his leg. |  |
Fiona's stopped for a cigarette... Nah it's a pencil she has in her mouth. | |||||||||
| Mrs Fisher is busy taking pictures and Mr Taylor is taking pictures of Mrs Fisher taking pictures of Nicola and Roger. |  |
Roger and Edward actually look as if they're working... What do you think? |  |
|||||||||
 |
Help me pick up this thin white snake please Nicola... |  |
It's not a snake Roger... it's a tape measure. | |||||||||
| Sean's really busy planning his holiday as a tornado. It's either that or he's drawing a picture of his tree. |  |
More people pretending to work... Hah! |  |
|||||||||
 |
Here's the Dalai Lama communing with Nature... Sorry... no.... it's Stuart at the tree study. |  |
As Elaine gazes at the clouds she has only one thought in her mind... What am I getting for my birthday tomorrow? | |||||||||
| Jimmi sits with an unknown friend making up poetry for next year's valentine cards... How sweet! |  |
Having conquered the elements, this intrepid band of explorers take a rest from animal spotting... and a lot they spotted too! |  |
|||||||||
 |
Excuse me. My name's Jonathan and I'm carrying out a survey of those girls who would like to go out with me. |  |
...and my name's Laura. I'm trying to ignore Mr Smith who, luckily for me, has gone to speak to Katie. | |||||||||
| Goodness me! Another band of adventurers standing at the bottom of the Capel Mounth... You seem to have lost your cattle though! |  |
Katie and Lauren... dazed by Mr Smith's contribution of appearing at meal times and proffering advice on pattern and texture. |  |
|||||||||
And
finally... I think I might refrain from putting a caption on this one
and leave it up to your own imaginations. If you think of a good one
please email it to Beecy. |

| Tuesday
was snowing With the wind blowing Wednesday was wetter But Thursday is better The wind was blowing And the river was flowing Tomorrow is the day we go away Our forecast is unpredictable all day Even there is no sun We will still have lots of fun |
||||||||||||
| ... and this next one was sung to the tune of Frere Jacques | Chorus | |||||||||||
| Use
less water Use less water Why don't you Why don't you Save a little water Save a little water We will too We will too |

| Verse | ||||||||||||
| This
week at Ballater we tried hard To use less water but we were bad Yesterday throughout the day The taps were running all the way We tried to use less but we used even more The total was 6494 Please keep thinking and use less Try your hardest and do your best Have a shorter shower Turn off the tap Put the plug in Don't be a sap When you flush the tiolet Water runs down It would make Mr Taylor frown So if it's yellow let it mellow If it's brown flush it down

Well that's just about it for the week. I do hope you had a good time here. I know that my staff have really enjoyed your company... then they always look forward to Laurencekirk coming. Why? Because you are always really well behaved and have a good sense of humour. Excellent Dudes!!! Until next time
