The primary grades have been doing a Fairy Tale theme for December. The grades involved are 1 and 2 in rooms one and five. They did a musical play about the Little Red Hen, who was looking for someone to help her with the grain she found. They made bread which they gave to visiting parents, and they are making puppets for plays. They also made a mural, booklets, and they are making their own fairy tales. The Grade 2s are creating an original Christmas fairy tale in the Library. HO HO HO! The Brookside Parent Advisory. Council held a loonie toy and book sale. It was a big hit, and made $131 which was donated to the school. The ideabehind the toy and book exchange was for each student to bring a (good) used book or toy and get a ticket. If you had a ticket and a loonie ($1.00) you could choose one of the gifts. This was a good way to do your Christmas shopping and to help our school! • Thank you to the Parent Council and especially to the Drennan • family for the idea and the world The Pollution Solution Club made Christmas .crafts using recycled materials on Dec. 6. Miss Anguish and her committee planned a great meeting where parents, students, and teachers created Christmas gifts and decorations, followed by hot chocolate and treats. The Compost Committee, with Miss Wise, has been busy too. They presented a skit at morning as- sembly encouraging classes to use our new composter, and an announ- cement was made by the committee for Our senior students also. Buck- • ets have been provided for each class. The seeds committee performed a play in the gym to tell us that Brookside only needs 30 more projects to win our green banner and make Brookside a Green school. Lee Morrison and Jennifer Robinson are making sure. that the record book (which is on display at the Library), for'4green activities" is kept up to date. David Hayes drew pictures to hang up and Mrs. Clarke is puffing- up posters around the school that say "GOLD SOON TO BE GREEN". Other activities at Brookside include a resource unit by Mr. Culp's Grade 5/6, including • research,' notes, a report, and mag- nificent collages, river research and reports by half of the Grade 7 students, followed by the famous "Flour River" (more information later!), and a mining unit in Mr. Lobb's 4/5 class. litwitvta:veNtic.-ww-ftwirtk Travel for 4-H members Wishing for an interesting oppor- tunity to experience another part of Canada?
