The meeting began with the 4-H pledge and continued on with making the crust for the ice cream pizza. Next members wrote out a recipe for ice cream that required different simpler ingredients than the recipe in their books. They mixed the ingredients for the ice cream, stirred it and put it in the freezer. They sampled sherbert, regular and premium ice cream and frozen yogurt to taste the difference in each of the types. Jen read the information about ice cream In the books. They made chocolate milkshakes next as a recipe for this meeting which were good too. The secretarial report was read. When the the pizza crust was cooled they spread the ice cream over the crust and put it in the freezer once again. They talked about the achievement. Before the meeting was over they ate the homemade ice cream and the ice cream pizza. The Merry Mooers met for the last time on Nov. 10 at the home of Darleen Vanderveen. The meeting began with the pledge, secretary's report, roll call, and achievement plans. They told their other leader about what they had planned for the achievement. It will be held at the home of Dianne Baan at 7 p.m. Friends or family members will be invited. Next they made the ice cream pizza crust for achievement. While that was in the oven they did a few pages in their books about judging. After the ice cream pizza crusts had been in the freezer they took them out and each put one-litre ice cream on them. The crusts went back in the freezer again. Someone in the group made mint chocolate ice cream that everyone tried. As well they ate leftover ice cream pizza and raspberry sherbert. The meeting was then adjourned. The Walton Early Years students studied the colour purple this week. They made a purple surprise and ate it (grape jelly perogie style sandwich).

Thanks to Ken Scott for coming over and teaching the children the ' last song. They also mixed red and blue playdough and watched as it magically turned to purple. The letter ’c’ was looked at as well and they made clown faces with purple noses. The Grade 2s used the cooked pumpkin left over from the Grade Is pumpkin muffins to make pumpkin ice cream dessert. They wanted to surprise the Grade Is. In making this dessert they had proof that freezing is very cold. They compared the seeds from a marigold seed package with the seeds that came from the flower heads of a dead marigold plant. They were amazed when the seeds popped out of the old flowers when they broke them open. They sorted and saved the seeds for their spring unit called, 'The Needs of Plants'. In Mrs. Vandendool's class the children are working on 'fall trek story writing'. They have also started reading their new novel called, 'Island of Blue Dolphin.' The children in Grades 1-4 participated in the Remembrance Day service by singing songs, reading poems and listening to Rick McDonald who came to the school as a representative for the Brussels Legion. Andrea Vanderveen, Blake Miller, Andrew VanVliet, Katie Williamson, Marcie McClure and Jennifer Eedy were the children chosen to go to the Brussels Legion Remembrance Day service where they laid wreaths on the cenotaph.

The test was given over a 10-day period last spring to all Grade 3 students across the province. Students' individual results were sent to their schools and shared with their parents at the end of June. Student performance was measured against provincial standards on a scale from level 1 to level 4. The provincial standard for Grade 3 students in Ontario was level 2 and 3. Schools will analyze their results and then develop an action plan to better address student performance. "The testing is not an end in itself - the way we use the information is critical," said Marie Parsons, assistant to the Superintendent of Schools. Schools will be involved in reviewing, analyzing the data and developing plans of action using the test results as valuable, base line information. Huron County schools, parents and students should be pleased with the results. Whereas there are definite areas of the curriculum that need to be addressed, student results on this test reflect the excellence in education that is evidenced in Huron County schools.
