GRADE ONE
Grade One is very excited about
Halloween. Their grade 4-5
buddies helped make pumpkin
jumping jacks. They have also
made, smelled, and tasted jello.
M-m-m good. Adam Lutz showed
them a neat way to make a sheep.
GRADE 3/4
The grade 3/4 class has begun
Halloween activities. Kenny says,
“We tore pieces of paper and glued
them together to make a spooky
Halloween bulletin board.” They
are also writing Halloween
booklets.
Harmony would like to say
students have a special time when
various people in the class can read
a favourite story to the rest of the
class.

CROSS COUNTRY RUN
Blyth Public School athletes
attended the annual East Region
Elementary School Cross Country
Run at Hullett Central School on
Oct. 22. Schools from Huron
Centennial, Vanastra, Clinton,
Seaforth and Blyth participated.
The students were divided into four
age groups for both boys and girls.
Overall the school placed
extremely well. Individual, Sandy
Walsh placed first; Craig Empey,
third; Mike Ansley, first; Mike
Courtney, second; Kendra
Brigham, third and Mary Beth
Brigham, first. These students all
received medals. All students tried
their hardest and represented Blyth
Public School very well.
Also at B.P.S. on Oct. 26 the
kindergarten room became a
polling station for the 1992
referendum. The school will be
open until 8 p.m. tonight for people
to cast their Yes’s and No's.
GRADE 1/2
Grade 1/2 is busy celebrating the
Blue Jay's big win. The children
proudly wear their homemade Blue
Jay headbands and have enjoyed
sharing their favourite highlights of
the game.
As Halloween quickly approach
Pfeiffer and Kenny McCracken.
GRADE 5/6
The time each day to read and
enjoy “Where the Red Fem Grows”
has become a special time.
Everyone has written an account of
Little Ann's close call. Some
students pretended to be Old Dan,
some Little Ann herself, some
Billy, and a couple of people chose
to be secret bystanders who quietly
watched the drama unfold. Students
are continuing with mapping units.
The latest activities have been
working with scale and distances
on maps.
In math, equivalent decimals and
adding decimals to whole numbers
are proving to be a real challenge.
They are spending more time on
problem solving.
Halloween is much in evidence
in the room. Each day someone
es, the grade 1/2 classroom
becomes a little spookier every day.
The children have made several
crafts and have written scary,
haunting stories. Everyone is
looking forward to the Halloween
party on Friday.
GRADE 2/3
Mrs. Little's grade 2/3 class made
apple witches.
Everyone began with an apple
and a popsicle stick. Then they put
the popsicle stick into the apple.
They dressed the stick in a black
cape, then they put a string belt
around the middle. The students
made different articles of clothing;
some made hats and some made
cats to go with them. The head was
made by peeling the apple into
which they poked a mouth, a nose,
and eyes with a pencil. The witches
took two weeks to dry.
GRADE 8
The grade eight students have
recently completed an ecology unit.
The study included a project,
stream study and a debate on
pipelines through the tundra biome.
They now have an understanding of
ecosystems, predator-prey relation
ships, food webs and the inter
relationships of animals and plants.
Next spring they hope to work
with the Ministry of Natural
Resources on a stream rehabilita
tion near the village.
makes or brings a new decoration.
Many journal entries tell of
Halloween plans.
GRADE 6/7
Mr. Fisher was absent last week,
so the 6/7's had Mr. Proulx as a
substitute teacher.
Jarred Holmes, who came to the
school last year then moved away,
moved back again on Oct. 19.
Marc Eigenheer, the student from
Switzerland, is learning more and
more English each day. He read to
the class from his special book and
they are very impressed!
Grade 7's are doing C.A.T. tests.
Some of the tests are mathematics
and some are English. They found
the C.A.T. tests pretty easy, but
still... they can be CATastrophe!
The 6/7's took a walk into
Belgrave to make a map of the
village for Geography. They found
all the streets, homes, and main
points of Belgrave. Maybe even
yours!
GRADE EIGHT
Student council is busy preparing
many different activities for
students of all grade levels.
Many tests have been written
over the last two weeks and the
students have worked hard to get
good marks.
LIBRARY
Spooky things have started to
happen in the library. Some
primary classes have thoroughly
enjoyed a tour of “The Haunted
House” by Jan Pienkowski. Grade
two has definitely decided not to
take a hot bath in this house.
The grade three class is learning
good keyboarding skills by using
the Type Away program on the
computer.
Students in grade 4/5 are using
the SCOPE method to complete
their mini-research project about
the Thresher's Reunion.
SPECIAL NEWS
After the Fire Chief, Mr. Harley
Gaunt, came to the school to talk
about “Fire Safety”, many of the art
classes were spent working on
safety posters for the competition.
The lucky winners from school
were Kindergarten: Amy Cook,
third; Grade 1/2: Matthew Cowan,
second and Casey MacLeod, third.
The students joined the winners
from other schools to have their
pictures taken at the Fire Station.
