They learned about Monkeys. The boys and girls played singing games, talked to the puppets called “Curious George” and “Wrink­ les”, made crafts and had cookies and juice for snack. They listened to stories about monkeys that like spaghetti, monkeys that jump on beds and the monkey called Curi­ ous George. We hope the preschoolers will enjoy coming to Kindergarten our school in September. AUTHOR’S VISIT by Sabrena Black On Thursday, May 4 Frank Etherington the author of “Those Words,” “Spaghetti Word Race”, “The General” and “What I Grow Up Bigger Than Five” visited our school. He was really interesting and we enjoyed talking to him. Some of the things he told us were that we can never rewrite or improve a story enough times and that sometimes publishers ask authors to change parts of their story. He told us that many authors don’t make enough money to live on by writing but that they need a second job also. Frank is assistant-editor for the Kitchener Waterloo Record and writes articles for that newspaper. He has three children Jainin, Jacob and Jeopy and he writes about them in his books. When Mrs. Gross asked boys and girls what they liked about his visit she got these responses: Jimmy McCracken liked the funny parts in “Those Words.” Tim Robinson enjoyed catching the spaghetti that Mr. Etherington threw at them. Kyle Anderson liked the part in “Those Words” when the lady sat on the dog. Lauren Walker liked how he read to them. Adam Garniss liked the way that he told them to keep improving their stories. Kendra Folkard liked how he wrote about his children. Some of the classes have been doing follow-up activities. Mr. Kerr’s Grade 4 glass has published a book called “Frank Etherington Visits Gr. 4.” Blyth students raise money for trip to Ottawa FUNDRAISERS by Sarah Allan As most of you may already know, a hamburger day, bake sale and car wash was held on May 26, 27 to raise money for the Grade 8 bus trip to Ottawa.
