Hullett hosts concert, science experiment event
“Little Bit of Country and a Little
Bit of Rock and Roll” was a fun and
toe-tapping concert presented by
Grades 4 to 8 at Hullett Central
Public School on Wednesday, May
8. The premise of the concert was to
reinforce the idea of individualism.
It doesn’t matter which kind of
music one listens to, sings along
with or dances to, we are all
individuals and we’ll keep on
moving.
There were two impressive
playboards greeting family and
friends at the doorway designed and
painted by a talented teacher. And
there were colourful decorations on
the walls of the auditorium to put the
audience in the mood for music.
Teachers and emcees had scoured
closets for appropriate costuming –
cowboy hats and boots, sunglasses,
etc.
Three talented young girls in
cowboy hats, opened the concert
playing “O Canada” on flutes
accompanied on keyboard by Julie
Gilroy. For the song presentations,
classes sang along to CDs.
Mrs. Middleton’s Grade 4/5 class
sang the country number about
hunting and fishing and had lots of
props – fish nets and poles, antlers,
tackle boxes. This class came back
later in punk hair, hats and
sunglasses to give a vote for “I Want
to Rock and Roll”.
The audience was involved with
Mr. Caldwell’s Grade 4 offering.
Four groups of children each played
a familiar song on their recorders
and asked the audience to guess
what they had played.
No problem getting
the answers, for
example, “Twinkle,
Twinkle Little Star”.
Mrs. Gilroy’s class,
Grade 5/6 sang a
medley of songs of
both genres. I heard
“I Love That Old
Time Rock and Roll”
melded with “Sing a
Country Song”.
Recognizing that
we all walk to a
different drum, so to
speak, the Grade 8
class, again by small
groups, gave an
interesting drumming
demonstration to “We
Will Rock You”.
Reinforcing the
right to be one’s
own person and to
not be afraid to
stand out as an
individual, the Grade
6/7 class of Mrs.
Crete demonstrated
line-dancing to both a
country song and a rock tune. Then
they sang snippets of several songs
from both genres including “Too
Rock for Country and Too Country
for Rock”.
At the conclusion of the concert,
all the participants lined up along the
walls of the gym and sang “We’ll
Keep on Movin”. Whether one
moves to the right or the left, it is
one’s own individual rhythm that is
important.
Most of us have seen the paper
towel commercial on TV that
shows the young girl making a
volcano that spews pink lava
everywhere. It seems likely the
producers of that commercial had
graduate scientists working on it.
The amateur scientists at Hullett
Central didn’t have quite the same
luck. I visited the school last Friday
morning to see what pupils there had
chosen for science experiments.
There were several volcanoes that
got an “E” for effort but were not
true spewing volcanoes. And a
rocket launcher that basically used
the same principle.
Several pupils did comparison
experiments – which dish detergent
works best on oil? Dawn; which
objects glow in the dark and why?
which popcorn pops the best?
Orville’s; which cat treat is the
favourite? Party Mix; and store
brands versus name brands. Fun
things to try!
One aspiring farmer experimented
with the effects of PH on seed
germination. Another gardener grew
tomato plants. One young lad made
an egg float and a young lady made
blue crystals.
One exhibit questioned which
generation/age group could pass a
Grade 8 science test. I think, of the
tables I had time to visit, the project
I was most interested in was research
on the positive effects of video game
playing on pre-teens. Seems this
activity has many positive benefits
for young folk. In spite of what the
grandfather in my house may think.
Mental health is a concerning
issue these days for all ages. Mike
Masse, aka Mindful Mike will attend
at Hullett Central on May 15 and 24.
He will work with each class
teaching techniques for reducing
stress and anxiety. There will also be
an assembly to focus on various
aspects of this topic.

Sevice led by
Sandra Cable
Sandra Cable led the service at
Londesborough United Church on
Sunday, May 12, Mother’s Day.
Mother’s Day is also referred to as
Christian Family Sunday and, in
honour of that, the Kreuger Family
shared their gift of music during the
morning service. Elianne, Audrey
and Dylan did a beautiful offering
of “True Colours”. Fred and
Hedwig joined the children to sing
“Edelweiss”.
The scripture passage read by
Sandra was Acts 9: 36-43, the story
of the resurrection of Dorcas by
Peter. Dorcas, through her many
caring acts for the people of her
church/community, was deemed
“full of grace” by Sandra. She was
an example of true Christianity and
Sandra prayed we might find ways
to follow her example.
This coming Sunday, May 19 the
senior choir invites everyone to stay
following the morning service for
“Munch and Mingle”. There will be
a free-will donation.
The Londesborough UCW will
