A brisk winter's walk
by John Ramirez and
Stephanie Lentz
On Wednesday, January 11,
Mrs. Battye’s Grade 1 class trotted
down to Graham and Ken Jack
son’s farm at the edge of Blyth.
They discovered animals and their
tracks.
Some of the children told us,
“We saw deer, furry goats, a
llama, birds rabbits and both white
and Canada geese.”
They' enjoyed their trip and
would like to thank the Jackson’s.

The Blyth students from grades
1-8 have started Electives on
Thursdays from 2:45 to 3:30. Here
are some of the reponses after
completing the first session.
Joe Fraser thought the Ukulele
Club, led by Mr. Black, was very
interesting. The time was spent
learning different chords on the
ukulele.
Erin Bolger reported the cooking
elective was neat. Mrs. Buffinga
(filling in for Mrs. Cronin) and
Mrs. Walsh supervised our snack -
“Ants on a Log.’’ The ‘log’ was
celery stuffed with either Cheez

‘ants’ were chocolate chips or
raisins.
Mrs. Hulley was in charge of
drama. Jerry Mason thought that it
was fun. They mimed nursery
rhymes.

The game they played was called
Quick Frozen Critters which deals
with predator/prey relationships.
“It was exciting!” exclaimed Jef
frey Ferguson and Shawn Clark.

Hooftman. Terra MacDonald
thought that learning French words
was fun.
Mrs. Bev Walker supervised the
art elective, Courtney Sauve had a
great time. They made paint prints.
Nikki Snell and Charlene Tisseur
thought their elective was interest
ing. Mrs. Kolkman and Mrs.
Webster are showing them how to
crochet. The first session was spent
making a chain. Mrs. Roberts
demonstrated printing in the Calli
graphy elective. Chris Mason
thought it was lots of fun. Mrs.
Charter led a games elective, the
word was they had a lot of fun.

Renzulli is a program that you
can learn more about something
that you would like to know more
about.
When Mr. Nao came to Grey
Central in November a lot of pupils
wanted to know more about
“Japan” that Mr. Nao had not
talked about.
A girl from grade 5 named Sandy
Zanhd did a renzulli project on
Japan. Sandy learned symbols, and
words: mountain, Japan, tree,
winter, summer. Sandy got her
information from encyclopedias
and books from home. Sandy
started this project in November
and ended it in December. Sandy
really enjoyed this experience
learning about Japan.
Rachel van Veen and Heather
Thompson also did a renzulli
project on Japan. Rachel and
Heather were able to “compact”
their English Class. These two girls
are from Grade 7. This project took
them from November 10 to Decem
ber 8.
In their project they made ora-
gami figures and studied calli
graphy. Rachel made a card that
said “Summer Life” and Heather
made a card that said “Fall”. The
cards they made were very detail
ed.
Heather and Rachel went to two
classrooms with their performan
ces. Their homeroom Grade 7 and
Grade 4. In the classroom they
made a blow-up frog (oragami).
Heather and Rachel said they liked

CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY
by R. van Veen and R. Veitch
From December 16 to January 2
we had our Christmas Holiday. We
played in the snow and had a great
time.
We interviewed two students on
how they spent their time.
Heather Thompson: She saw a
deer in her front yard. Relatives
came to her house on Christmas
day.
Kara Kerr: She spent her time
snowmobiling and playing in the _
snow. She went to visit her
relatives.
Overall most people had a great
time on our Christmas holiday.
SKATING
by J. Vanass and C. Earl
On Jan. 6, Grey Central School
students went skating at Brussels,
Morris and Grey Arena. Each
group got to skate for about an
hour. Tommy Pearson from grade
2-3 said he didn’t enjoy it. Justin
Ruttan from Grade 2 really enjoyed
it. We will be skating every other
Friday until March 2. When we
were there we played various
games like: foot hockey, tag and
crack the whip. We hope everyone
enjoyed it.

Late goal brings loss
Continued from page 13
lead after playing a scoreless first
frame.
Tim Cowan and Jonathan Collins
sent Ryan Chamney down the left
wing boards for Blyth’s first goal as
Ryan slipped one in on the short
side. Scott Arthur whipped in a
backhand shot for goal number two
after Brian McNichol found him
standing alone in the slot.
Blyth tied the game early in the
third as Ryan Chamney dented the
twine thanks to some persistent
forechecking by linemates Chris
topher Howson and Henry Bos.
After Goderich once again took
the lead, this line again came back
to tie the game. Ryan Chamney fed
Henry Bos, whose long drive was
tipped in front by Christopher
Howson. The game looked like it
was going to end in a tie but
Goderich notched the winner with
only 36 seconds left in the game.
Blyth pulled their goalie in a last
ditch effort to tie the game but the
home team scored an empty net
goal to salt away a 6-4 win.
The teams played well but it was
the referees’ turn to have an off
game. Blyth had two goals dis
allowed simply because the refs
were out of position and couldn’t
make the call. Looking on the
bright side, the refs should really
improve for the next game, es
pecially if they can absorb at least
half of the advice that was offered
to them throughout the game.
Looking ahead the team has a
league game against Brussels and
the Seaforth Atom Tournament to
contend with this week as the
play-offs loom ahead.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK: New
York Islanders coach Al Arbour,
when the NHL was considering a
franchise in Saskatoon: “Harold
Ballard claims the only way to get
to Saskatoon is by dogsled. His real
worry is finding two dogs willing to
take him.”
Don’t forget to mark down
January 28 on your calendar as
Blyth Minor Hockey and Ringette
presents their annual Family Dance
at the arena auditorium. Dancing is
from 8 to 12 in what should be an
entertaining evening of family en
joyment.
