READING BUDDIES
by Jody Button
Every other Friday the grade
fives and the Kindergartens read
books together. They call it “Read
ing Buddies”. They change partners
every week that they read. The
grade fives keep a journal of
whether or not the kindergartens
liked the books. The books they
read are the books from the chil
dren’s section in the library.
MOO-VE OVER
FOR MORGAN
by Becky Morrison and
Shawna Walker
On Thursday, April 30 our
school was visited by the Huron
County Dairy Princess. The dairy
princess goes to Seaforth High
School. She is in grade 11 and her
name is Morgan Murray.
Morgan visited all the classes
from Kindergarten up to grade
eight. In the grade seven room she
talked about what goes on on a
dairy farm and how it works. Stu
dents watched a video with her as
the star. She talked about what the
dairy cattle eat, from the time they
are a calf until they are grown up.
Of course she talked about how you
milk a cow. Later in her lesson she
demonstrated how to make butter.
Everybody got to help. Then stu
dents got to taste it on a cracker -
mmmmm.
She told them how to get to be a
dairy princess and described some
of the competitions that dairy
princesses go through.
GOOD-BYE MISS HOWE
by Rhonda Gibbons
The grade two class is ending
their time that they have had with
Miss Howe. Miss Howe was filling
in for Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson
while she was on her maternity
leave. The grade twos planned a
party for Tuesday, April 28. At
2:45 the party started with chips,
cheesies and games. The food was
supplied by the parents. There were
green streamers, banners and other
decorations. There were flowers, a
pencil holder and a jewellery box
for Miss Howe. They had painted a
picture for Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson
and they also finger painted
posters. The whole school thanks
Miss Howe for her help and wel
comes Mrs. Armstrong-Gibson
back.
