Had a great day at the school today. On the way down the M77 it was threatening to rain, I was praying that it didn't.
Fortunately the dull start blossomed into a fantastic day. As I drove into the village the view of Ailsa Craig was stunning. It looks so close.
The goal was to get the cementing done. Naively I thought we would get this done by break time leaving the second part of the morning to decorate some tiles. It took from 9-12:45!! Tile decorating next week then!!
Paul the P6/7 teacher had made himself available to help until break time, thank goodness. He was the experienced cement mixer among us. He had brought cement, sand and some chips to strengthen the concrete.
4 of the P7 boys were appointed to help and boy did they love it. They worked really hard all morning without a single complaint.
Trudi was there as reliable as ever expertly shunting and smoothing the concrete!
By the end of the morning we were all experts!!
We lay the mixing board over the cement on props to give it some protection. I just hope it sets well!
