We'll remember her beautiful smile everywhere. Her laughter and happiness and all of her cheer. That we'll remember Oh so dear. We will remember her forever, and never forget. We really do owe her parents a debt, For bringing to us a wonderful friend. We're all so sorry it came to an end. So we'll never forget KRISTEN OWEN "Our friend". - By Tracy Ward and Jill Campbell Kindergarten Spring is here and we are all happy. We have been talking about all the things we see and do in Spring. We have also made many Spring crafts. On Friday, we made kites and had great fun flying them outside. Our Orientation Night for next year's Kindergartens will be held May 5, 7 p.m. Early Assessment and Registration Day will be held on May 14, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Grade 1 Everyone was glad to be back to school after their holidays, and we got right to work planting seeds for our Science Fair Experiments. Our science problem is "Do seeds grow best in water or soil plantings". Mrs. Bell was sick for two days, so Grade 1 would like to thank Mrs. Mowbray for doing such a good job teaching them, tialong with Mrs. Maclntyre. Taylor Mali was "Special Me" this week and he told us , many interesting things about himself with maybe a trip to Alaska corning in July. We are working on a Unit about Clifford, the Big Red Dog with Mrs. Bell and Mrs. Maclntyre. Most of our Gingerbread Men are in the "Harder" word club now. Grade 2 We are doing reading activities about "Man's Best Friend". Thank -you to the families who have sent in pictures of their pets and books on the subject of dogs. The trip to the Sugar Bush was great fun. We put our thoughts together and wrote a poem about what we saw. Sap comes from maple trees maple trees maple trees Sap comes from maple trees And we think this is neat. Sap is.so sticky so sticky so sticky Sap is so sticky It tastes so sweet. Sap is boiling is boiling is boiling Sap is boiling It takes a lot of heat. Maple syrup is amber brown amber brown amber brown Maple syrup is amber brown It was quite a treat. Grade 3 • Everyone in Grade 3 had a wonderful holiday and is eager to do their best in the Spring term. They started into a new unit called Maple Syrup and on Wednesday they visited the Saugeen Bluffs in Paisley to help make maple syrup. Students -par- ticipated in drilling the holes, haminering in spikes, hanging pails, carrying buckets of sap on a yoke, heating hot stones, plac- ing hot stones in the sap to evaporate the water and tasting the maple syrup. Everyone had a great time and the weather was perfect. Grade 4 Grade 4 came back refreshed from their holiday and ready to tackle division. Ju- jube math was enjoyed by the class and demonstrated the concept of sharing equally. They created travel folders about Bruce County with drawings of important places, even including the Lucknow Community Centre. Their favorite activity of the week was making warm fuzzy coupons to give and receive. Everyone left wearing a smile. to friend Grade 5 The Grade 5 class has started a new unit in Environmental Studies called Provin- cial Parks. They have been chatting to find out the answers to the nutrition quiz on the P.A. each morning in March. They are finishing up their science projects and are looking forward to the Science Fair. Grade 6 A very busy group of students is working seriously on the Science fair projects and creating poems and stories for the LCPS Insider Newspaper which will be coming out shortly. On Monday they enjoyed one extra hour of Industrial Arts and Home Economics as their reward for being class of the month. Again this is the month for one computer to be left in the Grade 6 classroom. Plans are beginning for their part in the Easter assembly. Grade 7 The Grade 7's were pleased to hear that they are going to the outdoor Education Centre in late April. Grade 8 Earlier this year the Grade 8 students studied lists of occupations and chose one to find further information on. Their choices were sent to Student GuidandP In- Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, April 1, 1987—Page 7 and classmate formation Services on computer forms and this week they received detailed computer print outs with information regarding educational requirements, types of jobs related to that occupation and what per- sonality types best suit that field. They en- joyed reading the computer printouts and sharing their findings with friends. Home Economics The nutritious snacks are selling very well. The Grade 8 class used the computer to figure out how much nutrient intake they get with their lunch. Most lunches lacked iron which is common in the Cana- dian diets. Band News On Tuesday night 10 Irish band members played at an Irish tea sponsored by the Young Women of Lucknow United Church. They were Peter Reavie, Erin Johnstone, Marita MacDougall, Justin Murray, Cailin Clarke, Angela Breckles, Denise Hiller, 'Jill Campbell, Megan Johnstone and Jeff Murray.
