Students resolve conflict
By Amy Douma and Megan Bragg
On Tuesday, March 4, Matthew
Kroll, Lesley Pepper, Chrissy
Mason, Richelle Jorritsma, Kendall
Jutzi ano Brandon Dixon, attended
a Conflict Resolution workshop in
Wingham. In this event, they
started making each other
comfortable by saying two things
about themselves. Then they went
on to talk about the meaning of
being a mediator.
Next they watched a movie about
the conflict of a mother, father,
sister, brother, about the father and
mother fighting all the time about
whether or not to send the brother
to school, so the sister was a
mediator and they solved the
problem.
After they were done their lunch
break, they went inside to watch a
movie on how the people solved
conflict. Then they tired role
playing on a conflict of their own;
about Matthew Kroll in a fight.
They had two people having a
conflict and two people as
mediators.
When the day was almost over
they had the older helpers, Don and
Kelly being in a conflict, and Mr.
and Mrs. Garland as mediators.
Then it was closing time, so they
went out to catch their bus.
Our school went skating on
Friday. We want to thank the
Parents’ Association for funding us
on our skating excursion.
On Friday we had a collection for
the MacDonald's. We were
collecting food, clothes 6x and
under, cleaning supplies, and
bedding for the family. We are
having this collection because on
Wednesday afternoon their house
burned down.
The first week back to school
after March break, we will be
having pizza on Tuesday and subs
on Wednesday.
On Thursday, the Grade 7/8s had
a dance with Zurich Public School's
Grades 7/8s. The theme was
’’Revenge of the 60s". To welcome
Zurich, we invented a sheet that
asked them questions that we
would have to answer, and vice
versa. We found the Zurich people
to be very nice! The dance was
from 2:45 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. After
the dance was over, people were
exchanging e-mail addresses,
mailing addresses and phone
numbers.
The Grade 8 class has started
fundraising for our graduation. We
will be selling Avon products, such
as bubble bath, soaps, sunblock,
wrapping paper and Easter
decorations.

They started off with a celebration
of Day 100 which included making
a luncheon of 100 sandwiches and
"ants on a log". They, along with
the Grade 7s, have had many
shared activities during buddy time.
Along with reading and printing,
they made a checkerboard and
learned how to play. They enjoyed
it very much.

The Grade 3s are writing replies
to the penpal letters they just

THE BAND
On Tuesday, Feb. 18 the band
travelled to the Kitchener-Waterloo
Symphony Orchestra at Centre In
The Square to watch the perfor
mance called "Meet the Orchestra".
Before they heard the orchestra,
they had lunch at McDonald's.
During the performance there
were featured soloists and small
groups and instruments showing
off their talents. One soloist, a
percussionist, showed them talent
very well, playing at least seven
different instruments.
You can just imagine how hard
she had to work running back and
forth playing each instrument at the
right time and keeping up with the
orchestra.
All of the band enjoyed the
whole orchestra and in the future
are excited about their trip to
Canada's Wonderland.

GRADE4
Mr. Livermore's Grade 4 class is
currently working on a Huron
County Unit in Environmental
Studies. It is really interesting to
find out that many of the students
in the room didn't know Huron
County as well as they thought.
They have covered such topics as
the location, history, resources,
occupations, industries, agriculture,
culture and transportation of Huron
County. The class will be doing
projects on those different areas
after the March break.
The class enjoyed the winter
carnival during last week.
The class had two winners at the
recent public speaking competition
held in Blyth on Feb. 20.
Congratulations go out to Charlotte
Worsell who finished first and
Bryan Klasen who finished third.
Charlotte went on to the Clinton
