East Wawanosh P.S. news Students in cross country Steering ’round the Bull Brussels Minor Hockey player Nolan Krotz takes direction from Brussels Bulls Jason Baier during last week's hockey school. Baier was one of many players, who along with directors of the Junior "C" team's executive gave their time to steer the young players on the course to a successful season. Tell us how your team is doing Hockey season is gearing up and The Citizen would love to hear how your team is doing. With so many leagues in our area it would be impossible for us to cover each and every team so we ask for the help of the coaches or parents in reporting on the local Brussels PS. news Students go on owl prowl by Patti Harrison MR. MCCALL Mr. McCall visited the school to speak to students about book sponsors to raise money to get more books for the school library. Students have seven weeks to read as many books as possible, but first they have to ask friends and family to sponsor them. World Book is helping achieve goals by contribut ing $1.00 for every $2.00 raised. OWL PROWL On Thursday, Oct. 1 at 12:00 p.m. the grade 4/5 class went on an owl prowl at East Wawanosh. I interviewed Tricia Teeft and Mike Brewer to see what they did there. They left about 12:00 p.m. and headed on their way. When they got there they met Esther and Jayne who talked about owls and games. Forms are available at both Citi zen offices. Once filled out they can be returned to either office by deadline. No special writing skills are needed; just a list of goals scored and by whom. identified feathers. They also looked at all different owls. After they got acquainted with everything, they went outside and played a game called owl prowl. Then they returned to talk about what they learned, before heading home. FROM MR. KEMP Practice is an important part of learning basic skills at all grade levels. At school, teachers provide practice opportunities for as many skill areas as possible - printing, reading, mathematic facts, correct word usage, and written composition to name a few. Students are encouraged to practise these skills in meaningful situations at home as well to help develop childrens' confidence in these important areas. GRADE ONE Grade one has been talking about Thanksgiving. They have been learning songs, verses, and have made some colourful turkeys. They are thankful for toys, carrots, Mom and Dad, trees, cats, and lots more things. GRADE THREE Students have started the “TypeAway” program on the ICON computers and are anxious to move on to Lesson No. 3. Through this program the students will learn keyboarding and proper hand positioning. Jimmy Wray is the “Special Me” this week. GRADE 3/4 They have been very busy with their “Tree” activities. On Friday they went out to the school yard to take bark rubbings of different trees. They decided they learned sofne interesting things not only about the trees but also about group co-operation. GRADE 6/7 Reporters: Kendra Folkard and Kim Johnston The grade 6/7 class are inventors! For Science class, they made an invention to help the environment; for instance: a non-polluting bus, a car garbage can to help prevent litter in ditches and a tire-recycling machine. The 6/7's are also busy doing book reports in English. They have to read a book then do some activities on the book. The 6/7's are happy to welcome Marc Eigenheer from Switzerland to their class. Marc is in grade 7 and only knows a handful of English words. While he is learning English, the class is learning German. Auf Wiedersehen! (Good bye!) GRADE EIGHT Well, grade eight is off and running. By the time this article appears, two major math tests will have been written.

A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL One of the goals this year is to promote environmental awareness through various activities and projects. We now have a composter situated near the school, which students use to recycle lunch scraps into nutrient-rich soil. We are also investigating vermicomposting, which is simply composting with worms. A wildlife habitat will soon be started east of the school, which eventually will provide an area for outdoor studies. HEAT TIP #2 No Global Warming When fuels burn they release car bon dioxide, the greenhouse gas re sponsible for global warming. Burning fossil fuels such as oil and natural gas is like pumping carbon dioxide from the centre of the earth into the atmos phere — a one-way trip. Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. When wood burns, the carbon dioxide is released, only to be ab sorbed again by young trees. Because trees recycle carbon dioxide, wood- burning just warms you, not the globe. on the purchase of any Woodstove (one coupon per purchase)
