McClures greet at Duffs
Darrell and Jennifer McClure
were greeters at Duff's United
Church on Jan. 26.
Rev. James Murray's theme was
Jonah. He read the story about
Jonah to the children during
children's time.
His sermon was entitled, "Jo-nah!
Jo-nah! Jo-nah!"
After the service people enjoyed
a potluck lunch and then attended
the annual meeting.
Although the buses to Walton
School were cancelled last
Wednesday the school remained
open and eight children braved the
storm to attend.
On Thursday the very popular
'Theme Thursday' was introduced
with the theme being, 'Healthy
Living'. There are seven groups and
each teacher will be doing some
special activity with the children.
The students named their groups
and made posters with their team
name on it and various ideas about
the theme.
Sue Hannon got the staff and
kids sweating with her aerobics and
some learned quickly what kind of
shape they were in.
The Grade Is are still working on
the passage of time and have
measured how quickly their
amaryllis has grown. They are also
working on a winter unit and are
doing experiments with snow. They
have a black bristleboard in the
freezer and will catch snowflakes
and then look at them under a
magnifying glass. They then hope
to draw their own snowflake and
make a winter scene.
The 2/3 class did a 'now you see
it now you don't experiment' where
they had two cups of water and in
one they added six teaspoons of
sugar (that is how many is in a can
of pop) and tasted it. It showed that
there are nutrients in food but you
can't always see it.
The Grade 3/4s are busy reading
winter novels and writing stories.
In keeping with this theme some of
the kids did research about
penguins. Did you know that when
the eggs are layed they are placed
on the Penguin's feet and the
stomach skin folds down over lop
to keep them warm? Il is also
important to note that both the
mom and dad lake turns at hatching
the eggs.

Frasers return
Doug and Marg Fraser are back
from the land of sunshine and
warmth, Jamaica that is. They spent
a week there and enjoyed
themselves immensely. Doug noted
that there were quite a few hotels
closed this year and not quite as
many tourists. One person told me
that every time Doug and Marg
leave for Jamaica, it storms here in
good ole Walton and area. Well
they proved it to be true again this
year.
