Primary grade bases play on Christmas story
CHRISTMAS PREPARATIONS
AT GREY
By Krista Hunter and
Marion Haller
Once again, Grey Central is
having their annual Christmas
concert Dec. 16.
Kindergarten to grade three have
a remarkable play based on the
story, “The Bear Who Slept
Through Christmas”. It involves
singing, dancing, and lots of acting
for the audience to enjoy.
Grades three, four, and some of
grade five are not participating in a
play but will be singing two French
songs. This is a new but neat
experience for those students.
Grades five and six are busy
practising their play about Santa
and his reindeer going on strike.
Everybody is taking part in this
amusing play filled with lots of
songs sung by the students.
The grade eight and grade seven
classes will be participating in a
play called, “A Song for Christ
mas”.

SPORTS
By Matthew Warner
Through the past few weeks the
grade seven students have been
going curling at the Brussels arena
every Tuesday morning. They had
lots of fun and embarrassing
moments. The sliding and sweep
ing kept them warm in the big cold
arena. The rocks are about 40 to 45
pounds each. The ice is very pebbly
rather than smooth like hockey ice.
At the end of the lessons they all
thanked the instructors for the
chance to experience something
new.
GRADE SEVEN ART
In history we have been studying
a unit on the Canadian native
Indians. We have had a lot of fun
making Indian masks out of paper
mach£ in art classes.

For approximately the past
month, Miss Rose has been
offering a skipping program to
students in the senior hall. This
program gives participants the
opportunity to learn the rudiments
of skipping, hone their skills and
improve their cardiovascular health
through a rigorous lunch-hour
class.
On Tuesdays at noon an “open”
class is held, where anyone who
wishes to can participate.
On Wednesdays a practice for the
demonstration team is held. These
people learn more advanced moves
and work on routines. This group
of skippers will be going to other
schools to perform these routines
some time in the new year.
On Friday, Nov. 13 a team of
skippers from F.E. Madill put on a
workshop for the demonstration
team. This program runs for the
duration of the school year and will
be offered for students in years to
come.

Students play games
By Jeremy Clark
Students went to the United
Church to play Christmas carols.
First, however, they ate a big
supper of meatballs, potatoes,
salads, pies, cookies and drinks.
The meal was of excellent quality
cooked by the church ladies. After
the meal the band played Jolly Old
Saint Nicholas, Jingle Bells and
Hymn Tune.
Led by Mrs. Perrie, the musicians
were Adam Carr, Dan Wolsten-
holme, Janice Jacklin, Lesley
Elliot, Andrew Exel, Sonya Albert,
Amy Crawford, Malinda Exel,
Becky McLaughlin, Sherry Therrian,
and Tanya Mawhinney.

On Friday, Dec. 4 Mr. Jon Oran
came to an acting workshop with
the grade sevens and eights. Mr.
Oran is from England and is here
directing a play at the Blyth
Festival.
We played a game called Zip,
Zap, Bong. The game was both fun
and funny. We also played Murder
in the Dark, Murder by Winking
and a few other interesting games.
On Saturday, Dec. 5 the annual
Brussels Santa Claus Parade was
held. Brussels Public School
contributed by entering a float,
featuring the school band. Janice
Jacklin, Robbie Burkholder, and
Sherry Therrien played the
saxophone, Dan Wolstenholme
played the baritone and Holly Park
played the flute. Tyler Seeds and
Jason Crawford played their
trumpets, and Susie Black, Jenny
Gowing, and myself played
clarinet.
There were also three teachers on
the float. Mrs. Perrie played the
trumpet, Mr. Kemp had some bells
and Mr. Parsons came all the way
from Gowanstown to play the
saxophone.
We found that when exposed to
close weather for a long period of
■time our instruments do not work
very well. Our lips froze to the
mouthpieces. Next year we hope
for lots of snow, but slightly
warmer temperatures. Maybe we'll
even sing.
