TOWNSHIP OF NORTH HURON
Students study love languageBy Morgan HowsonLast week at Hullett CentralPublic School students enjoyed aanother snow day!
In Kindergarten A and B the
classes spent the week preparing and
celebrating Valentine’s Day. In math
they estimated how many
conversational hearts would fit
inside a heart frame. They also
graphed the colours of a handful of
conversational hearts and counted
the number of hearts they would
need to cover the space when they
spread their arms out as far as they
could.
In language students continued
their unit on feelings and made up a
Valentine’s web explaining the
various ways people can show their
love to someone. They also wrote a
book called Love Monster, Love
Monster, Crunch, Crunch, Crunch
where they explained what love
monsters eat for lunch. They also
drew pictures of things they loved
and listened to stories about
friendship. They reviewed their
colour words and painted hearts as
specified in various colours.
In Grade 1 last week, students
enjoyed pancakes on Shrove
Tuesday which they made with
chocolate chips and syrup. The
students also wrote directions and
learned how to follow a recipe. They
measured the ingredients, cracked
the eggs and stirred in the milk. No
excuse now, not to make pancakes
for their families at home – with
supervision of course.
On Tuesday and Wednesday, thestudents in Grade 1 displayedcourage and perseverance as theystood up in front of their classmates
to present their poems and stories.
They all did an amazing job. They
have been using their acting skills in
other ways by taking the part of a
character from The Three Little Pigs.
This tied in nicely with science, as
the students have been examining
different building materials and are
busy building structures.
By Colton Rodger
In Grade 3/4 students have been
enjoying snowmobiling, broomball
tournaments, hockey and other
physical activities on weekends and
snow days.
In science students made straw
instruments to help them understand
the fact that sound is vibration. They
learned that when they cut the straws
shorter, the sound got higher. In
addition they used a slinky to see the
movement of sound waves and they
played with metal coat hangers and
string to listen to sound as it travels
through matter. Finally, they heard
sound through their sound boxes and
watched turning forks make rice and
water ‘dance’!
In math, they are learning about
using different strategies for
multiplication and division. They are
using arrays, doubling, repeated
addition and skip counting. They are
beginning to understand that
knowing the multiplication facts will
help them when they atre dividing
numbers. They have also started
learning about measurement. Students made up charts withthings they measure, how theymeasure them and what units they
use to measure with. They came up
with things like: houses are
measured with tape measures using
metres and centimetres, desks can be
measured with metre sticks using
centimetres, pencils can be
measured with rulers using
centimetres and millimetres, time
can be measured with a clock or
calendar using seconds, minutes,
hours, days, weeks, months, years,
decades and centuries and a garbage
can can be measured using a ruler or
by using a measuring cup to fill it
with water to find out the amount of
water it will hold. Measuring can
involve the height, width, length,
perimeter, circumference, area and
volume of things.
In physical education students are
practising ball control by playing
basketball tag. The people who are it
are dribbling volleyballs while
chasing around the rest of the class
who must dribble their basketballs as
they run around the gym.
It has been an exciting week at
Hullett Central. Romance is alive
and well as students purchased
approximately 150 carnations for
friends and family. Student Council
also organized a valentine’s dance
which was held on Friday, Feb. 15.
The Grade 7/8 class had its final
math graphing test. Most students
enjoyed this unit although sharp
pencils and careful attention to detail
were required to ensure that shapes
were translated, rotated and reflected
correctly. Things were particularly
tricky when questions required both
compasses and protractors. Those
who wished to be considered for the John Newton’s tombstone
In his old age, when he could no loner see to read, John Newton, the author of
“Amazing Grace”heard someone recite this verse, “By the grace of God--I am
what I am.”1 Corinthians 15:10. He remained silent a short time, and then said:
I am not what I ought to be. Ah! how imperfect and deficient. I am not what I
might be, considering my privileges and opportunities. I am not what I wish to
be, God, who knows my heart--knows I wish to be like Him. I am not what I hope
to be. Before long, I will drop this clay tabernacle, to be like Him and see Him as
He is! Yet, I am not what I once was--a child of sin, and slave of the devil! Though
not all these--not what I ought to be, not what I might be, not what I wish or hope
to be, and not what I once was--I think I can truly say with the apostle, “By the
grace of God--I am what I am!”
At the age of 82, Newton said, “My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two
things: that I am a great sinner--and that Christ is a great Saviour!”
John Newton’s tombstone reads: “John Newton, once an infidel and libertine, a
servant of slaves in Africa, was, by the rich mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ, preserved, restored, pardoned, and appointed to preach the faith he has
long labored to destroy!”
“By the grace of God I am what I am!”1 Corinthians 15:10

window. Those who own
snowmobiles will be happy as there
is getting to be lots of snow for
travelling in the area.

Anderson seeks
more in-depth
fire report
One Central Huron councillor is
hoping to see a North Huron Fire
Service report with more beef.
Councillor Marg Anderson noted
her disappointment with the North
Huron Fire Service report, created at
the behest of Central Huron
Council, during Central Huron’s
Feb. 12 Committee-of-the-Whole
session.
“There is nothing there,” says
Anderson, who believes more
information should be forthcoming
given Central Huron recently signed
a new agreement.
Central Huron CAO Peggy Van
Mierlo-West says North Huron has
agreed to make monthly phone calls
and submit quarterly reports.
The Municipalities of North
Huron and Central Huron have
sometimes been at loggerheads
about the agreement as Central
Huron has consistently asked for
more details to explain what it
perceives be to a relatively high cost
for service.
