PROLIFE WALKATHON BY SANDRA VANDERWAL About 25 students from our school participated in the Pro-life Walkathon October 4. The 16 km. run or walk was from Goderich to Clinton, or vice versa. We set out at 8 a. m. At 11:30 it began raining and the people who finished the walk in the rain deserve a lot of credit. All those who took part really believe in what they are doing to stop abortion. READ-A-THON BY TRICIA BOS Our school is very busy reading. For seven weeks, we are in a Read-a-thon to earn money for sets of World Book Encyclopedia. Seven weeks of reading, seven books and seven sponsors per book is each student’s goal. This will raise $24.50 to help pay for a classroom set. Medals can be earned for reading more! THANKSGIVING ASSEMBLY BY ARIC BURNS On October 10 a festive mood was in the school. All students brought food gifts to be given to needy families of the community. At a school assembly, we enjoyed: student singing, some drama, choral speaking and instrument playing. Scripture passages Ps. 100andCol.3: 12-17 were read. The gym was well decorated by the Gr. 8class. We closed in prayer and wished all a truly thankful weekend of praising God for His many great and good gifts to us. BUSHES WANTED Bush lotsorselected trees.

Biotic means things that are alive. They include bugs, snails, duckweed, coontail and elodea. Abiotic means things that aren’t alive. The things that aren’t alive are: rocks, water, and light. Each item in the Ecosystem acts as a host for the rest. That means that one is the food supply for another. A light is placed over the Ecosystem because the light provides energy for this creation. In an Ecosystem there are bugs, weeds, swamp, river or pond water, duckweed, coontail, snails and gravel. You do not need to provide anything for this system because as we explained they live off each other. When some of the living things die or rot, the others eat from the dead or rotted thing, then they reproduce. Three of the teachers in Blyth Public School have an Ecosystem in their class­ room. Mrs. Little, the grade 2 teacher has an Ecosystem and we talked to her and one of her students, Jill Walden, about this experiment. They told us about everything that’s in the experi­ ment. Mrs. Hulley, the grade 5 teacher, and Mrs. Battye, the grade 1 teacher, also have Ecosys­ tems in their classrooms. From their study of the Ecosystem, the students have learned a great deal about plant and animal life in water. Students study ecosystems TRIP TO THE APPLE ORCHARD BY SARAH ALLEN, CHR YST AL CUCKSE Y AND LORI BAILEY On October 6, the kindergarten children left for the Mait-Side Apple Orchard in Brussels. They learnedaboutdifferentkinds of apples such as delicious and spy. Eachofthechildrenwas given a bag and was allowed to pick apples from the ground to fill each bag. The children learned that all of the trees were sprayed to protect them from bugs and disease. When they arrived back at the school, the students used the apples they were given to make applesauce. They also tasted samples of apple butter and apple cider. They used some of the apples to make apple prints in art. Mrs. Buffinga said it was a learning experience for the class. The students enjoyed it very much. SOCCER TOURNAMENTS CANCELLED BY KELLY COOK AND DAVID HESSELS The grade 5, 6 (junior) and 7, 8 (senior) soccer tournaments, at Brucefield have been permanently cancelled this year. After being postponed several times because of bad weather, it was decided that time was running out. The students are disappointed because Mr. Yeats had been training them hard for the big games. But, they won’t have time to be disappointed for long because they are already training for the upcoming cross-country meet on October 22 at Hullett Central Public School in Londesboro.
