Jason Hoggart, Jason Veenstra and Benjamin Bolinger were just hamming it up for the
camera at Hullett Central Public School's Halloween costume parade Friday.
New student at E. Wawanosh
KINDERGARTEN
The class has been working on a
Halloween unit. They made a
Halloween picture and word list to
help them with their books. They
made patterned macaroni necklaces
and orange lanterns with Hallo
ween pictures on them, and heard a
story about two ghosts and a witch.
They made a picture to show what
happened in the story. The class is
planning a Halloween party.
GRADE TWO
written by grade 2
We have a new girl in our class.
Her name is Jenni. Kyle and Trever
learned hand language at the Blyth
Theatre. They won the tickets in
the poster draw after our trip to the
Blyth Public Library. We've been
making cats, bats, witches and
spooky pictures for Halloween. We
carved jack-o-lanterns with our
grade seven buddies. Halloween is
fun!
GRADE THREE
With Halloween quickly
approaching, Miss Mather's grade
three children are getting excited.
We are reading Halloween stories
and rotating through seven centres.
Our classroom is decorated and
ready for our party on Friday, Oct.
30. In Math, we have learned to
compare and order numbers to 999
and to round numbers to the nearest
ten and hundred. We are constantly
practising our adding and
subtracting facts to 20. Celebrating
October birthdays was Liz Goll,
Matthew Bromley and Garrett
Knight.
GRADE FOUR/FIVE
Students are happy to welcome a
new pupil to their classroom. His
name is Kevin Hopf. Kevin comes
from Downie Central School in
Perth County. Many students wrote
letters of welcome to Kevin.
They worked again in tom paper
and did murals based on the book
“Dear Rat”. This was an important
lesson in co-operation. It was fun
working with the grade one buddies
on pumpkin-carving.
SPECIAL EVENTS
On Thursday, Oct. 29 the school
was filled with strange screams and
weird shrieks. Student Council
used creative imaginations to set up
one of the scariest Haunted Houses
ever for the students in grades one
to four to wander or creep through.
Most of the junior studies were
brave enough to try it, but a few
decided to wait until next year
when it might be even scarier.
On Friday, Oct. 30, the students
from grades five to eight had lots of
fun doing the Monster Mash and
other weird contortions at the
Student Council's Halloween
Dance. Those students who decided
not to attend watched a video in
Mr. Kerr's room.
