GRADE THREE
The grade threes are learning
how to multiply two digit numbers
with regrouping. They are also
working on perfecting their
multiplication and division facts.
GRADE THREE/FOUR
The grade three/four class has
been getting ready to present their
plays. They have had a great time
preparing their props and choosing
their costumes. Other classes in the
school can expect a visit from the
performers very soon.
The class will soon be starting
school fair work.
GRADE FOUR/FIVE
The grade four/fives have learned
many things by experimenting with
new stitches during creative
stitchery lessons. Some have
invented their own stitches. They
have learned that D.M.S.B. rule for
division really does work.
Once again they have written to
Julia Cunningham, a favourite
author living in California.
The rehearsal time spent on
Joseph and the Amazing
Technicolour Dreamcoat paid
many dividends. Students learned
much about the discipline
necessary to put on an excellent
production. They enjoyed the many
positive comments about our
production.
The class was very proud to help
finish off the Learners in Action
program with the last few activities.
GRADE FIVE/SIX
The class has been busy finishing
up the major units of study —
especially Environmental Science
Units and creative writing books.
Students had final lessons in
Science on Flight and Simple
Machines and in Social Studies on
Canada and Europe, now must
begin the process of reviewing for
tests and getting in tip top shape.
Everyone really enjoyed the
English centre on Queen Victoria!
They now know why Canadians
celebrate Victoria Day. The last
English centre, "Our Fatherland"
deals with ancestry. It should prove
interesting as students search into
the backgrounds and those of their
country.
They've finished reading Lucy
Maud Montgomery's Anne of
Green Gables and really hope the
teacher will treat them to Kevin
Sullivan's movie version before the
year is through. (Hint! Hint!)
Everyone is anxious about how
much work still needs to be done
before this year is done. The class
calendar for June is full of projects,
special assignments, and tests ...
plus a field trip.
LIBRARY
Preschool storytime sessions
have been very well attended this
year. Approximately, 20
preschoolers have enjoyed the
stories, films, crafts and snacks.
During the last three weeks, the
Computer Corner has been used a
great deal by grade seven and eight
to improve their keyboarding skills
through the Almena program, and
by grade six/seven and five/six for
publishing their books.

The Optimist Club, of Blyth and
District held a Bike Rodeo on May
19, at the Blyth Community Centre.
Blyth Public School students from
kindergarten to grade six
participated in the program.
The rodeo consisted of a video
entitled "Gearing Up", a bike safety
quiz, and a booklet entitled "Cycle
Safe". A bike inspection by the
Ministry of Transportation was
'given before the students
participated in a series of activities
designed to test their skill and
knowledge of the rules of the road.
The 95 students who completed
the program, received an informa-
tion package which contained
handbooks, comics, bike stickers,
balloons, McDonald's "Free Fries"
vouchers and participation ribbons.
Constable John Marshall, who is
the Community Safety Officer,
helped to co-ordinate this program.
