The Dinosaur Den is filled with Awesome Authors this week. Each of us is writing a story which will be published as a hardcover book. Like all writers, our first draft is a "scratch copy" which we have edited. We "edit" by reading our books to friends and helping each other fix spelling, capitals & periods. We're now hard at work on our final "good" copies. We're also hard at work on our part in the Spring Concert. "Break a leg", folks! (That's "good luck" tor us actors! 1 The Grade 4, portable 2, class is working on a light unit. We did an experiment with cereal boxes. A small wax paper screen was put on one side of the box and a small hole was poked through the opposite side. A black shape was stuck on the window. We saw the iinage of the black shape on the wax paper screen. To our surprise it was upside down. Mr. Tremeer visited us and explained why this happened. Now we know light travels in straight lines. Why don't ,you try it! ! ! The pupils in Mrs. Worsell's grade five class were delighted to have a visit from Michelle McClinchey's new baby brother, Matthew, last Thursday. Thanks to his mom for bringing him in.

Grade 6 could choose to do a science project if they wanted to. The people who did a science project presented it to the class and to Mrs. Tebbutt before setting it up for the judges in the gym.
