Blyth students read together
READING BUDDIES
by Jody Button
On Friday mornings at 10 a.m.
the grade seven and the grade one
classes get together to read. When
the grade ones read to the grade
sevens they improve their reading
skills. After they have read a few
books the grade sevens help them
finish some of their classroom
work and practise saying some
words. When the grade ones get
older they will thank their reading
buddies.

DO-SI-DO YOUR PRETTY
CORNER LADIES
by Zoey Onn and
Jennifer Brigham
Over the last few weeks the
grade seven class has really gotten
into the pioneer spirit. They've
been practising square dancing,
making baked beans, playing
pioneer games, listening to several
speakers and an author telling us of
the “good old days”.
They've also been organizing
pizza days for the entire school as a
fundraiser for their class trip. These
past two weeks have been very
exciting days. The costumes worn
on Pioneer Day on Tuesday were
“fantastique”. It gave students a
real pioneer point of view.
ON WITH THE SHOW
by Kristy Caldwell
On May 6 at 1 p.m., there was a
full house at B.P.S. for the fourth
annual Grandparents and Senior
Citizens' Day. Invitations were sent
out to the senior citizens of the
village and as well to the
grandparents of all the B.P.S.
students. Each year the students
provide an afternoon of singing,
then reading or chatting with their
guests, to acknowledge the seniors
of Blyth and grandparents. This is
also an opportunity to give
something back to the community.
This year the grade ones and
twos both sang a few musical
numbers for the visitors. The grade
threes recited a few poems as well
as sang a song. Then came the
grade fours singing a musical tune.
Each student from grade one to
four then mingled with the crowd
of over 100 people to chat or to
read a story. Next was the senior
choir with students from grade five,
six, seven and eight under the
direction of Karen Webster. The
theme this year was “100 years of
Love Songs”.
Students sang a song or two from
each decade, starting with “School
Days” and “My Wild Irish Rose”
from 1890 and finishing with
“Canada Blues” from 1990. The
finale was a rendition of “Happy
Birthday” to Canada, Huron county
and B.P.S. Afterwards the guests
visited as the grade eights served
lunch.
All the students wish to thank
their grandparents and their
neighbours for attending the
presentation. It was great to see
such a huge and appreciative
audience.
