As you look at the school from the outside what materials do you see that the builders have used? Where have they needed stone, slate, glass, tin, iron, steel, wood?
Now let us think of the garden and playground. Tell about the different parts and the materials that have been used in making them.
What great numbers of workmen were needed before a school like ours could be built! Who procured the stone and the slate? Whose work was needed to obtain the iron, the steel and the tin? Who made the glass? Which workmen shall we thank for the wood?
Can you think how the bare lot looked before the school was built? Many men with shovels and pick-axes dug out the foundation, and numbers of horses and wagons were needed to carry out the earth. Then came the builders. How were so many materials brought here?

1. We will go outdoors together and look at the school building.
[p13]
2. We will stand north of the school, south, east and west of it. Notice the position of the parts, their number, shape, size and color.
3. As we stand at each side, see whether there are any parts which you never noticed before or any parts which we forgot to mention yesterday.
