It's becoming a Cedars tradition that Leo makes us rice crispy cakes for our residential trips. Last night we managed to polish off the whole box at supper time! One of the families staying at the centre joined us when they saw what we were eating!!

Glenshee ski trip day 1:

We're back for our second visit to Compass Christian Ski Centre, a great, welcoming activity centre based at the foot of the Glenshee slopes. Last year we arrived to heavy snowfall. This year the slopes are covered but thankfully the roads are clear!

We arrived in time for a quick lunch and then left with all our gear for the slopes, which are a five minute drive away. The pupils divided into skiing and boarding groups depending on ability- and all their hard work at Bellahouston during last terms broader curriculum has paid off!

They have had a fantastic afternoon, and are now unpacking and warming up. Tea time soon!

Keep an eye on this blog through the week for updates and photos...

Assembly

In Primary, our Wednesday assemblies have focussed on race and so far we have heard about Martin Luther King and Steve Biko. These were two men who fought for freedom for black people. It has been very interesting to find out about them.
