By Courtney Bachert Everyone is honouring Remembrance Day this week entering posters and learning about the importance of Remembrance Day. The Grade 2 students begun talking about the tradition and meaning of Remembrance Day. They are making special posters for the Legion competition and are beginning to practise a special song to present at Memorial Hall on Remembrance Day. The Junior Kindergartens were very excited to come to school on Halloween – although they celebrated it by having “Sharing Day”. Each student brought a snack to share with another student and a game or object to share during Self Directed time. They had great fun halving snacks while sipping from milkshakes that they shared with their buddies. They matched up items into pairs and concentrated on the number two. They talked about strategies for making friends and how to treat other classmates fairly. The senior kindergarten students finished up their huge ColourFall unit this week. They had Pink Day and ate strawberry waffle cookies, pink popcorn and even got to chew pink bubble gum. They made text- to-text connections between the book Piggie Pie and many fairytales they have read. They have been reviewing the numbers between zero and five and ended up classifying 2- D shapes into number of sides categories. They concluded their week by celebrating Rainbow Day – where they learned the correct colour order of a rainbow, painted rainbows, mixed all the colours of the colour wheel, painted beautiful pictures using all six colours on the class art easels, read books about rainbows and sang all their colour songs. They have now begun to dissect the number six. The Grade 1/2 class has been enjoying read alouds that relate to pumpkins. One of their goals is to develop robust thinking and focus on the big idea of the story. In the story, “The Best Halloween Ever” by Don Freeman, they thought about the story and used their “schema”, made connections and used inference to find out the big idea and understand the message that the author was giving them. The students then made text-to-self connections to show how they could be like Corduroy. By Hunter Dale The Grade 3s are working on patterning in math class. They have learned the word “attribute” and looked for changing attributes in shape patterns. In reading, the Grade 3 students are developing their comprehension by using four key strategies: predicting, questioning, clarifying and summarizing. All of the Grade 7 and 8 boys went to Central Huron Secondary School for a volleyball tournament with Mr. Gagne. They were divided into two teams: Team A and Team B. In the games Team A lost their first game 29-27 to Clinton. Then Team B got to play against Clinton and lost 25- 19. After that game Team A had to play against Clinton again and lost 25-15. Then Team B lost to Clinton 25-10. They were both good games. Then Team A got to play against Central Huron Secondary School junior boys team and lost to them 25-15. Then Team B had to play them they did better only losing 25- 21. Both the teams did a good job and had lots of fun. Vodden silenced over school Students celebrate Halloween Continued from page 1 like council to send to have them answered on behalf of our ratepayers,” Vodden said. The questions included: • Why was Blyth Public School slated for closure? • Why did the board not perform an economic impact study when determining the valuation of the school? • How many Blyth children will be attending Maitland River Elementary School in Wingham and how many will be attending Hullett Central Public School? • Will or when will closing ceremonies be held for the public school and who will speak? Vodden found little support among his fellow councillors, however councillor James Campbell was able to answer some of the questions. He claims that the split of students will be right in half with approximately 50 per cent of Blyth Public School students heading to Wingham for school and the remaining heading to Hullett. He also stated that the closing ceremonies have been set and that they will be public knowledge. The strife began when questions were raised by councillor Bernie Bailey as to whether these were legitimate questions or some kind of vendetta being carried on by Vodden. “I feel this is a personal matter between you and the school board,” Bailey said to Vodden, ignoring rules stating that inter-councillor discussions need to go through the chair of a meeting. “This council held a majority vote stating we support the new school, I don’t feel we should waste any more time or money asking the school board these questions. “I see this as a conflict of interest for you Brock,” he continued. “Let it go.” Vodden responded that these questions were not his, but brought forward by ratepayers and that they had nothing to do with the new school but about the circumstances and realities regarding the closing of Blyth Public School. At this point Vincent stated the conversation was being finished. “We have no control over this,” he said. “The AMDSB operates in the areas they are granted by the province and no matter how we feel personally, professionally or as a township, it is past the time for these comments.” He went on to say that the council’s job was to do its best work to represent the people of the area to make Blyth a place people want to live and to try and attract business there. “The Accommodation Review Committee (ARC), unfortunately or fortunately, made their decision,” Vincent said. “It’s probably going to be 20 years before we know the results. For now we have to make the decision about where we go positively so we can move forward.” This prompted Vodden’s remarks about not being allowed to represent the concerns of Blyth.
