The sculptures made by the students at both the schools in Lucknow are quite imaginative, especially the actual size luge track made by the kids over at the Lucknow Christian School. To the left, a student from the Lucknow Cen- tralized Public School shows great concen- tration as he carves a bobsled out of ice. The sculptures are part of the annual com- petition organized by the local Kinsmen. Be sure to have a look at them the next time you drive by the school.

Our Grade 5 Reading partners helped us read the directions, and do the work on the cards. On Wednesday, the South African Olym- pic team won most points for Dress -Up Day, and shared "Bean Sprout Casserole", Rice and Chow Mein Noodle" cookies with the China Team. Congratula- tions to the effort of each team. You all Looked great! Grade 1/2 This week we have developed our Olym- pic vocabulary and we are watching the Olympic standings of different countries. We have also continued working on our China centres. We appreciate the help from our volunteer mothers in our cooking centres. The fortune cookies have been tasty! It was fun dressing up on Wedesday in costumes representing our Olympic house league countries. On Friday, we all work- ed hard building snow sculptures with our house league countries. Grade 2/3 Many children participated in the Chinese New Year by proudly wearing the costumes for their Olympic Country. We had some very colourful outfits. Martyn, Matthew, Julie, Kristi, Sarah, Trevor and George took their "Gardens in a Jar" down to the Horticultural meeting. They loved showing everybody what they had done at school. On Thursday the students enjoyed help- ing to create Olympic snow sculptures out in the schoolyard. Nice work gang! Grade 3/4 Grade 3/4 returned to school Monday, still stuffed from eating their "Valentine's Day goodies". We have started Olympic game centres in Environmental Studies and are learning a lot about the athletes, winter sports, and Olympic traditions and customs. We are really enjoying the class novel, "The Big Friendly Giant", inwhich a giant kidnaps a little girl and whisks her away to Giantland to have many adven- tures. We are finished writing all the let- ters of the alphabet. Grade 4 We have dressed for our country, divid- ed numbers, and studied legends this week. We have hurdled down mountains, jumped from awesome heights, fired pucks and spin around in continuous circles. All this and we still had time and energy left to produce amazing works of art! Grade 6/7 The Grade 6/7 class are quite active with the Olympic events. They built snow LCPS SNSIDER sculptures, and answer the Olympic quiz each morning. In art class they are sket- ching faces of people from many countries. Grade 7/8 We have adapted some of our programs this week to accommodate the Olympics. Some of our activities have included Greek mythology, Olympic trivia and even the Great L.C.P.S. Slalom race. Other varied Olympic experiences will continue next week. We, are also hoping to have a Mini Winter Games next Thursday if the weather co-operates. Grade 8 The Olympics have been the dominant theme for our English program this week in Grade 8. We have had a chance to view and learn about the ancient Olympic which originated in Olympia Greece. Our class is divided into Olympic team colours and are competing m such areas as Olympic trivia, and general knowledge of the Games. We are cheering Canada on and wat- ching the games and anticipating their first medal.
