Term three is well on its way at

playing in a Bandorama with
Clinton PS on May 6 in Clinton.
We are going to learn some new
songs of theirs and then they will
learn some of ours and we will
improve. There will be some
veteran instrumental players to help
us improve our skills and play
together.
We (the Grade 8s) are
participating in a bordenball
tournament. The tournament is on
Friday, May 13 at East Wawanosh
Public School. We are sending 12
Grade 8 boys and 12 Grade 8 girls
to the tournament. We are being
split up into pairs to join people
from other schools on a team. This
will be a good chance for the
Brussels students to meet and co
operate with others as a team.
The BPS spring concert is
coming upon May 5 at 7:30. It is
called "Old McDonald Had a
Farm." Kindergarten to Grade 4
classes are participating in it. We

see it.
The kindergarten class just
received all kinds of new toys.
Some of them are a kitchen set,
puppet play centre, a washer and
dryer, a car and gas station, a work
