Hullett Twp. council

Public safety was the prime fac
tor in Hullett council's denial of a
trapping request considered at the

township road allowances and cul
verts.
A bylaw to regulate the location,
erection and use of manure pits in
the township was passed by coun
cil.
After reviewing the drainage

GRADE 1 NEWS
Grade 1 has been busy planting
many things this spring. They
planted a biomat of marigolds. We
are watching beans and sunflowers
grow. We are also experimenting to
see if apple seeds, pine seeds,
peanuts and papaya seeds will
grow.
GRADE 4
Mr. Livermore's Grade 4 class
enjoyed entertaining a huge
audience on Thursday, April 24 at
the school's annual spring concert.
The room put on a series of eight
skits from some of their favourite
fairy tales. The catch to each skit
produced a sudden twist to each
ending, which caught the audience
by surprise each time.
On Saturday, April 26 the class
received some horribly upsetting
news. Luke Anderson was hit by a
truck while biking to his grandma's
house. He will be sadly missed by
our entire school. Social workers,
Mr. Barker, Mr. Livermore and
others are taking steps to help the
children deal with this loss.
The students are practicing at
recesses and noon hours to get
themselves ready for our skip-a-
thon on Tuesday, May 6 from 1 -
3 p.m.
In science, the class is working
on a plant unit. They have made
various experiments using seeds
and different soils. They will be
having lots of fun watching their
plants grow.
GRADE 8
On June 19 and 20 the Grade 8
class will be going to Niagara Falls
for their last trip. We have to raise
money to cover some of the
expenses.
To do this, eight students went to
Charles and Sharon Snell's farm to
pick stones on Saturday, May 3 and
also to Steve Flynn's farm on
Wednesday, May 7, where the
whole class will be picking stones.
On Saturday, May 17 there is a
car wash and bake sale being held.
Some of the money raised will go
toward the trip as well as
landscaping in front of the school.
Grade 2 has been busy planting
seeds and observing different
things about the seeds they've
planted. The class was given a
"Biomat” with some marigolds in
it, and it was like magic to watch
the plants grow.
We'd like to thank Mrs. Stennett
for giving it to us.
We also had a chance to try out
our school's new "Dream Writers",
a computer lab we're sharing with
Grade 1 and 3. We are really
excited about working on these
special keyboards.
Thanks to Mr. Sanders for
helping us.
Happy April birthdays to
Meghan and Josh.
