PAGE 2. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MAY 1, 1996
By Amy Ross and Cassie Bootzin
On Thursday, April 11 our
school had a hat day. Almost every
class participated including teachers.
After announcements Mr. Kemp
(our school's awesome principal)
took pictures of the students who
wore hats. Thank you to anyone
who made that day pleasant.
On Monday, April 9, the Grade
3/4 class went to the Slice of
Huron. The Slice of Huron show
cases farming in Huron County.
Each group got to see two cases out
of the six, which Mrs. Uhler picked
for them. Those six were: red meat,
dairy, fruits and vegetables, grains,
poultry and rainbow.
In dairy, Candice Ross said that
they watched a movie about a calf
being born and how they tied ropes
around their feet to pull them out.
Rachel Elliott said that a cow has
four stomachs and the food goes
through all four. Tyler Jutzi learned
that when a calf is three months old
it weighs 350 pounds, and its
mother weighs 1400 to 1500
pounds.
Rachel Speers told us that there
is a kind of oil inside lambs wool
called lanolin.
Ashley Keffer said that if yon
plant your favourite apple tree and
won't get that kind of apples,
because bees go from tree to tree
and pollinate the flowers to form
different apples. Emily Cardiff said
there are over 500 kinds of apples
We asked Morgan Bishop what
Brussels
People
Brussels Agricultural Society had
its first meeting to start things
rolling for the Brussels Fall Fair.
This year on May 26 they are

The Society is always looking for
new members to help them keep
the fair going. The theme this year
is Country and Western. Ambassa-
dor of the Fair will be Sept. 14 with
a fashion show, barbecue, and
dance. Fair dates are Sept. 17 and

he learned and he said that an elk's
horns fall off every year.
Philip Wedow explained that
brown turkeys lay brown eggs and
white turkeys lay white eggs.
Kelly White told us they catch
chicken in the dark.
In the primary classes, students
are talking about the Planets: Earth,
Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter,
Saturn, Pluto, Neptune. They found
out that the Sun is a star.
It ties into the Grade 6, 7 and 8
Science lesson about the
Atmosphere, Stratosphere, Tropo-
sphere, Mesosphere, Thermo-
sphere, Exosphere and the Ozone
layer. Far out!
Grade 8 students are now
thinking about the big "G" —
Graduation. They are talking about
all the different awards they are
eligible for. All of the students are
looking forward to this special
occasion to be held on June 24.
Matt Cameron is sick in London
Children's Hospital. We wish him a
speedy recovery.
It is skipping season again and
students are bringing their skipping
ropes. This year we hope to have a
Jump Rope For Heart. We
encourage all parents to send a rope
with children, or children to bring
their ropes and join in the fun.
Do you have a camera tripod that
you aren't using? Brussels Public
will soon have a new video camera
that would like to stand on its own
three feet. Call the school at (887-
9361) if you could donate a tripod.

4-Hers meet
By Laura Shilling
We opened our meeting with the
4-H Pledge. We held our meeting
at our leader's home. Her name is
Kathy Bridge. There were four
member ,present. We each took
turns reading through the home
alone section out loud.
When we got to the babysitting
section, we made a list of items we
would bring in our bag of tricks
and then compared notes.
Then Megan Bragg, one of the
members, taught us how to make
magic mud. You do this by mixing
cornstarch with water. You pick up
some of the mixture and squeeze it
in your hand. The mixture will turn
solid. But when you open your
hand it turns to liquid again. We all
took turns putting our hands into
the magic mud.
Kathy then gave us some
refreshments and assigned some
homework. We also discussed our
meeting for next week. Then we-
said our motto "Learn to do by
doing" and closed the meeting.
