LET’S CHECK IN ON JK/SK!
By Michelle Cook
Our JK/SK students are
becoming acquainted with each
other through songs, games and
play. This class has enjoyed
learning and dramatizing nursery
rhymes such as Humpty Dumpty
and Little Boy Blue.
The colours that they have been
learning are blue, red and yellow.
The class was very excited about
yellow because Mrs. Buffinga
brought in some real live baby
chicks! The colour stories that they
have read were entitled The Little
Red Hen, The Little Blue Engine
that Could, and Clifford, The Big
Red Dog.
They also have been involved in
songs, poems, games, crafts and
centres which related to colours.
The kindergarten students
certainly have been very busy since
school started in September.
GRADE 2/3 IS THE
PLACE TO BE!
By John H. Battye
Mrs. Diane Grail's class has had
lots of fun studying The Animal's
Walk story. Wow, those children
always have something to do!
They're learning more about
mathematics such as addition,
subtraction and patterns. It's like
Skate-a-thon this weekend
The Blyth and District
Community Centre is holding a
skate-a-thon on Oct. 18, sponsored
by the Blyth Minor Hockey and
Figure and Power Skating clubs.
Anyone is welcome to participate
with a pledge sheet. Pledge sheets
available at the arena, or by calling
529-7067 or 523-4815.
Registration takes place at 11:30
a.m. until 12 p.m. Skating gets
underway at noon until 4 p.m.
Children under seven skate until
2 p.m. The club is continuing the
moonlight skate with the lights
turned down and the tunes turned
up, which seemed to be a big hit
with all the skaters last year. The
event will be monitored by traffic
controllers to be sure the safety of
all participants.
There will be lots of games and
many prices to be won, including
Platers tickets, movie passes, food
vouchers, gift certificates, bowling
games, just to name a few. All
they never stop!
These students also have more on
their agenda such as publishing
books, learning new singing games
and more.
Grade 2/3 definitely sounds like
an educational and fun place to be!
THE MARATHON OF HOPE
By Heather A. Elliott
On Sept. 8, Mr. Maertens called
the entire school to the gym for a
brief assembly about Terry Fox and
his Marathon of Hope. During this
time Sallianne Patch told some
interesting facts about Terry Fox
and showed a video which
highlighted his dreams.
Many of the students had already
decided that they were going to
have their own Marathon of Hope
by participating in our school's very
own Terry Fox Walk. Our walk on
Sept. 19 raised $104. These
proceeds were sent directly to the
Cancer Society. The profits from
our first dance were also donated to
Cancer Research.
The students did not participate
in the walk just to avoid doing
school work. They did it because
they wanted to help Terry find his
dream, and I, for one person, think
they came one step closer!
JUNIOR SOCCER
By Dane Corneil
prizes have been generously
donated by various groups and
local businesses.
Breaks will be taken every hour
with refreshments and snacks being
provided to keep those skaters'
batteries charged. The booth will be
open as well.
