Brussels students take drama class
DRAMA CLASS TODAY?
BY JASON BRECKENRIDGE
I could just imagine, ballet or
opera? It was neither. Grades 4/5
and 5/6 were learning about trees
in science this term, so they had a
guest speaker Mr. Warren Robin-
son to show them some dramatic
tree-like acting. Luckily, our class
was able to go to one of his classes
in our school auditorium. Was it
fun!
First I learned how to "glide"
which was walking as if you were
marching proud. Next we learned
the "grind" which was an evil
heavy, and more direct walk which
gave you an all-seeing feeling. We
also learned about the "float". It
looked like the astronauts walking;
then the "Thust", like a karate
move, the "slash" in which he said
for us to wave our hands like a
bullwhip; also the "dab" where
you pretend you're a chicken
pecking and finally the "flick"
where you pretend you are a floppy
puppet. Then we matched them up
with trees of different kinds. I
thought it was an interesting
introduction to dramatics.
WORKSHOPS INTEREST
STUDENTS
BY SCOTT JOHNSTON
At Brussels Public School, we
have had many interesting guests.
They have expanded our minds in
many different ways.
Mr. Webster, from the Educa-
tion Centre, had lessons about
calculators and their capabilities in
mathematics. He made us aware
that calculators can be efficient and
fun while calculating mathemati-
cal equations. Mr. Webster in
another workshop also described
what tesselations were.
The grade?/8 and 6/7 classes
were involved in the making of
tesselations with Mr. Webster. I
think that the workshops were
enjoyable and educational. If there
were more workshops during my
year in public school, I wouldn't
complain!
BY JANIS CARDIFF
As a part of the grade 4/5 science
unit on trees, Mrs. Wilson invited
Miss Dorene Cardiff from the
Ministry of Natural Resources to
come to the school and do a
presentation on trees.
Miss Cardiff showed and ex-
plained some slides about how
trees are planted and some uses for
the trees. After the students went
outside and Miss Cardiff showed
them how to plant trees. I'm sure
the students enjoyed the small
workshop and found it very
interesting.
SMOKING WORKSHOP
LORI WILLIE
GRADE 8
Cheryl Gilbert was one of our
guests who visited us with a
workshop about smoking and why
we shouldn't smoke.
She had a table set up where
there was a machine which smoked
cigarettes and had a filter for a
lung. This white filter came out
with a yellow centre to show us how
much tar our lungs would absorb
from one cigarette.
At another table there was a
"smokaliser" which enabled us to
see the percentage of smoke in our
lungs. This smoke is called second
hand smoke which we inhale from
our parents or our family members
who smoke. Side smoke can also
come from a woodstove or fire-
place. An average child with no
members of a family that smoke
would measure from 1 to 5 and a
child with one or two members of a
family that smoked would read 5 to
10. If the "smokaliser" reaches 20
it stands for danger. At this table
there also was a cancerous lung.
This lung was black in colour with
tiny white rings of cancer. Many of
our students were very frightened
by this lung, including myself.
The third and final table was a
centre at which we could see how a
person with bronchitis or asthma
would feel if they were doing hard
work for over a minute. To do this
we each put a straw in our mouths
and plugged our noses while
jogging on the spot for 60 seconds.
All in all I feel that this was a
workshop that will help us make
our decision as to whether or not to
smoke. Seeing this program made
my decision easy. I feel that if you
saw it you would either stop or
never start.
VANDALISM
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT?
BY JANICE HEISE
Vandalism is the action of
destroying or damaging other
people's property on purpose. It
may be done in anger, frustration,
for something to do, or as a joke.
One time of the year in particu-
lar, often sees much vandalism. Of
course, it's Hallowe'en. This past
Hallowe'en was a rather quiet one
for Brussels compared to some in
the past. The school suffered from
acts such as blue paint and soap on
the windows, and a broken-down
soccer post, all minor in severity.
Smashed pumpkins, soaped
windows, a few broken windows
and a couple of small fires,
(scarecrows etc.) were some of the
town's damages.
Other acts of vandalism such as
breaking into houses or other
buildings, slashing tires, and
setting fires all cost people time
and money and also may result in
injuries or even death.
I think vandalism is senseless.
Why should people suffer because
of another person's actions? My
opinion is that vandals should be
punished according to their acts.
Upon asking for other opinions, I
found that they were quite similar.
Vandalism is useless and could
be harmful. I feel strongly that it
should not be tolerated. Remem-
ber, before you do an unncessary
act, would like it done to you? Will
it hurt someone? Could it involve a
large sum of money? These three
steps could cut out much vandal-
ism and make our world a better
and safer place to live.
