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.

playing. Scripture passages Ps.

In an Ecosystem there are Biotic
and Abiotic items.
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.

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.
