The princesses used hand puppets, held here by students (left to right) Katie Van Camp, Kimberly Frieburger, Jeremy Leishman and Adam McBurney, to teach the children about the different breeds of cattle which make up the dairy industry. CUSTOM HI BOY SPRAYING • Roundup • Grain • Pre plant • Pre emerge • Post emerge 60 ft. Boom Foam Markers is practising for track and field. They are almost finished their pet centres. They really enjoyed the Dairy Princess's visit and making milkshakes. Vicky Black said the milkshake “tasted a lot like peaches”. Jason Fear said “It was goooood!” Andra Dettweiler said it was great!” On Thursday, May 28, the grade threes are going to Walton Public School to visit their penpals. They can hardly wait. GRADE FOUR Mr. Fisher's grade four class's farms are really beginning to take shape. They have finished the Canada Fitness program and will be receiving badges soon. N*ne people will receive ‘Excellent’ badges. Mr. Fisher found some tadpoles at his brother-in-law's farm and brought them to class. In Physical Education class, the fours have been divided into two teams for Two-Pitch, the first game score was 2 - 2, and the second game score was 4-4. The competition is tough. GRADE FIVE Mr. Kerr's grade five class is ' studying about cereal. They brought in different samples of cereal to try. David Piluke and Jason Howatt are sharing the books that they made with the class. The grade fives wanted to say “Happy Birthday” to Matthew Beck, Jason Howatt, Peter Irwin and Brian Sinclair. This week, Jeremy Sallows is the “All About Me” person on display. GRADE FIVE/SIX The class spent the week finishing off their Social Studies unit on Early Settlers and beginning their Disabled Novel Study groups, Flight Activities and two new Social Studies units on Mexico (grade six) and Canada/Ontario (grade five). In Science, they began studying the Solar System. There were two special visitors to the class this week: Constable John Marshall of the Goderich O.P.P. who spoke on the dangers of drugs and showed his kit of “pretend” drugs, and Miss Morgan Murray, Huron County's 1991-92 Dairy Princess, who made a Hawaiian punch milkshake and taught the difference between the various breeds of cows. But, the highlight of the week really had to be playing in the schoolyard without most of the grade sevens and eights. It was nice almost being the oldest. GRADE SEVEN AND EIGHT Most of Mrs. Gross's grade seven class and Mr. Bartlett's grade eight class were away this past week visiting Quebec City. Those who stayed behind had a visit from the Dairy Princess, worked on projects and wrote elaborate stories on the computers. They enjoyed the smaller teacher-student ratio and all the attention they received.
