THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 19, 1996 Grey Central Echo Students contribute to township celebration As the year comes to an end the students at Grey Central are working hard to complete all the end of the year tasks. Besides finishing the usual school work and projects for the Brussels Fall Fair, they are also working on activities for the Grey Township 140th Birthday Celebrations. Grade 8 students have spent many hours preparing material for the school yearbook. Several classes are planning class trips which are integral parts of units that they have been studying in school. There are many upcoming events in the next two. weeks. A two-pitch tournament will be held on Thursday, June 20. An awards assembly will be held for the junior and senior classes at 10:40 on that day as well. Grade 8s will be attending a graduation banquet on Monday, June 24. Former principal, Mr. Wayne Tessier, will be the guest speaker. GRADE 1 AND 2 NEWS Grades 1 and 2 at Grey Central School are looking forward to the celebration of learning that is scheduled to take place on Tues- day, June 25 at 9:40 a.m. in the auditorium. The students will share with parents, grandparents, and friends, the things they remember most about their year of learning. Parents and grandparents are invited to attend this celebration which should take approximately 40 minutes. The Grades 1 and 2 classes recently attended the Huron County Literacy Festival in Clinton, along with other classes in the primary division. This was a perfect way to round out the year's focus on literature which began with•the Let's Do Munsch experience in the fall. Throughout the year the students have worked hard to improve their skills in many areas and the focus on children's literature was enhanced by both of these experiences. Miss Doig and Mrs. Richmond wish all the Grade 1 and 2 students a safe and happy summer. HURON HAPPY HOPPERS By Lynne Henry .

The team consisted of 10 very faithful girls from Grades 5 to 8: Amanda Stratton, Missy McLellan, Rachel Newman, Jenny Young, Christina Befurt, Christa Cochrane, Jenny Wildman, Michelle DeWit, Jelma Gorter and Jaclyn Stafford. Our first demonstration was at Huronlea at Christmas. In February and April we participated in events at our own school. Also in February, we were invited to take part in Heartburn Day in Stratford. This spring we did demonstrations at Clinton, Turnberry, Wallace and Stratford. I hope it was a good experience for the girls. I know it was a good experience for me. A very big "Thank you" to the girls for all their hard work. GRADE EIGHT GOES TO TORONTO By Amanda Stratton On Tuesday, June 11, the entire Grade 8 class left at 9 a.m. for Toronto for our two-day trip. Once we arrived in Toronto, the first place we visited was the Parliament Buildings. We walked around and saw many interesting things throughout the building including displays about Ontario's agriculture and history. After lunch we went to the Royal Ontario Museum. We learned about Natural and Human history and about a variety of animals. We viewed their dinosaur exhibits and were told. that humans have lived on the Earth for only a small fraction of the time that dinosaurs did. There was also an interesting exhibit of a boy who died 3,200 years ago and was found by archaeologists. We got to experience what it is like to be in a bat cave by walking through their very realistic simulation of one. Our next stop was Old For York, an army base that became a museum in the 1930s. We saw the .barracks where soldiers would have roomed and compared them to the much more private and spacious living quarters of an officer. We also had the chance to hear some music played throughout the day at the base. They used instruments like the drums, fife, and bugle. One volunteer got to try playing some songs on the drums, too. We also got to see where food was cooked and were able to try one of the things they ate, Queen's Cake. We also learned how to load and fire a musket. Following our tour of Old Fork York, we headed to Toronto Harbour for an outing on a schooner. The first thing we did was separate into three groups. Then we helped raise the sails. We also learned about navigation, handling emergencies, how the boat was made, possible problems, and the proper terms for several things on the boat. After that we got to help steer the boat back to the harbour and lower the sails. After learning to sail, we visited the CN Tower. We took the elevator up to the Eco-Deck and glass floor levels. Some people also went to the very top of the tower. The CN Tower was our last stop before going to the high school where we would spend the night. We played a game of basketball before we went to bed. In the morning, the first place we went was to the Science Centre. We once again split up into groups and we walked around the different sections of the Science Centre learning about an abundance of interesting things. Our next stop was the SkyDome, to watch the Toronto Blue Jays play against the New York Yankees. We saw home runs and magnificent catches throughout the game and were delighted when the Blue Jays won. After the game we headed back to Grey, tired from our two days of fun. We all enjoyed the trip and wished that we could have stayed longer but we had to return home. Our trip was a lot of fun and I would recommend seeing the sights in Toronto to anyone.
