Lovely the Care -Cat came to visit with us. We hope he will stay with us even after February. We are looking forward to many love crafts and stories. There are four birthdays this month: Ashton, Steven, Melanind Michael. The Grade 1 class is listening to many fairy tales and acting them 'out. We are ready to begin Fairy Tales centres. We have found out in our weather unit how clouds are made, and we discovered the tem- perature under snow is warmer than. on top of snow. On the computer we are using the program "What is Weather?" Justin is "Special Me" this week, and we are all trying to help others this "Heart" month. Happy Birthday' to Ashley, our second seven year old. The Grade 2/3 class had a won- derful day at the Wawanosh Nature Centre on January 25. We learned many things about birds and every- one enjoyed snowshoeing in the afternoon. We are just about done .our winter bird unit Many students have'completed a'number of winter bird activities. The Grade 3/4 class finally fin- ished their Australia centres that they .have been working hard at. Their surprise guest speaker turned out to be Mr. Stanley, who told them all about his trip to Australia and showed slides. The Grade 4/5 class went to the Bruce Nuclear Power Development. Ls INSIDER We went on a bus tour around the • plant and saw a few deer. We also played some electronic games that had to do' with• electricity at the Information centre. The birthdays this month are: Thora Cooper, Ellen Husk, Danielle Stanley and Laura Sande. Happy Birthday everyone. Speeches, novel studies and tam- : ily treasures have kept Mrs. Black's Grade 5/6 class ..busy for the past few weeks. After all this hard work it was decided we should experi- ence a fad for each Friday in Febru- ary. These fads are as follows: Bubble Gum Day, Hat Day, Back- wards Day, and Wear Black Day (their favorite colour, naturally). We think this will keep the February blahs away. Congratulations to Paula Kwan ' for being . elected as class representative for the Student Council. The Grade 7/8 classes are both preparing for tests; geography (7) on Friday, February 12, and history the next week. Andrea Hiller and George Carter have been selected by their classmates to be their rep- resentatives on the Student Council. We look forward to their reports on upcoming student activities. The Grade 8 has for some time now been involved with an ambi- tious English project, that of becoming an expert about a chosen creature. To become so informed, there is a need to become a good researcher. With the help of our number one resource teacher, Mrs. Maclntyre, we are learning this worthwhile skill. Our voyage into the past continues. Currently, we are docked in Canada during the 1860's. People then, as today, were concerned about government and the policies they were attempting to promote. Do we never learn from our experience's? Regional Volleyball Tournament The girls' and boys' school vol- leyball . teams participated in a regional tournament in Kincardine on February 3. Both teams were very competitive and narrowly missed bringing home the winning pennants. Members of the girls' team include: Andrea Hiller, Kim Harper, Shelley Johnston, Kristi Cranston, Corrie Lynn Kranenburg, Lisa MacLean, Lisa Kwan and Jessica Redford. Boys' team members were: Daryl Aitchison, Jonathan Austin, Shawn. Tilbury, Lucas Thacker, Taylor Mali, Sean Lougheed, Jonathan MacKinnon, George Carter, Richard Waike, Gavin Colwell and Ean Moffat.
