Actually, (left to right) 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. 0 THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4,1992. PAGE 21. ROBERT M.
