FRIDAY FUN by Karen Bromley On Friday, November 30 we had a hot dog day at B.P.S. The grade sixes hosted it. It was a lot of fun. And after the hot dog day was all over, the grades from 4 to 8 had a really fun dance but at 1:15 the fun was all over. BOOKS BOOKS BOOKS by Jody Button On Wednesday, Nov. 28 parents and teachers had interviews and discussed the progress of the students over the first term. While visiting the school, many parents and children visited the Book Fair which Mrs. Karen Webster had set up in the Library. As a result of the interest of everyone, Mrs. Webster is pleased to report that $1,043.61 worth of books were sold. Fifty per cent of that amount will be returned to the school to purchase books for the library. A total of $573.70 worth of new books will soon be on the shelves. Thanks to everyone who pur­ chased books and supported this program. HOW TO GET OFF THE BUST FAST! by Jerry Mason Constable John Marshall is the Public Relations Officer of the O.P.P. and on Wednesday, Novem­ ber 21 he came to B.P.S. and demonstrated a bus evacuation with the grade 7’s. Murphy Bus Lines let us use a bus and Constable Marshall told us how to go out the emergency windows and the back door. Then he showed us how to do it. It didn’t look like fun but it was fun. Just in case something happens on the bus, the grade 7’s on the bus can help the little kids get off safely and quickly. MAP MAKING by Brad Montgomery This week the Grade 7’s have been working on maps of parts of Blyth and surrounding area. The steps are drawing a sketch map of a few blocks of Blyth. Then we put it on a computer called an Icon. We used a program called “Map Manoeuvre’’. Then we wrote a written report of the history of those blocks. On the map we had to convert paces to metric units to measure how far houses, laneways, sheds, barns, etc. are apart. When all the information was on the sketch map, we commanded the Icon to print it out and then we pasted it on a sheet and handed it in. Some of the details we had to put on it were a legend, direction arrows, scale, border labels and a title. DISCOVERY TRAIL Grade six Science Expedition by Kim Lee, Tara Wilson and Margy Stewart On Thursday, Nov. 29 the grade six class and their teacher, Mr. Livermore, went on a science discovery trail. We started at the school and we went west and then north down Gypsy Lane. We got to the old railway tracks and followed the rail bed west. We found many interesting biological things: flowers, trees, stones and many coal pieces and a groundhog along the way. He had a bad smell and very sharp teeth. We saw many cocoons and spider nests. It was a cold day but the grade six class enjoyed themselves. ■*£ A / PRE-MIX SAVINGS 1 BAG FREE WITH EVERY 10 BAGS PURCHASED SORRY OFFER EXPIRES DEC. 31,1990.
