Erupting Volcanoes in P1-4 Classroom!
A part of their Disaster Zone topic the pupils of P1-4 have been making volcanoes which can erupt. As you can tell by some of their faces they really enjoyed the activity. I think two of the pupils probably used too much food colouring in the experiment!
Dalry Small School Sports 2012
Kells Primary participated in the annual Dalry Small School Sports event. Great fun was had by all the pupils even though the weather was not very good.

Well done to all the pupils involved from Kells for your effort, enthusiasm and also the sporting manner in which you played!

Giants in the Forest (October 2012)

The pupils enjoyed listening to the Storyteller, Anne Errington, as well as creating sculptures to display in the forest. The pupils also got the opportunity to see the Giant Head they created back in April this year hanging from a tree. Here are some photographs of the morning at the Otter’s Pool –
