Also in gym, the class has been

fascinating stories on the

DreamWriters are little computers
with a real keyboard (just like a
computer keyboard).
The eager-for-Christmas class is
hurrying to write letters to Santa.
They have also been reading
Christmas and snow stories.
BOOKS, BOOKS, BOOKS!
By Heather A. Elliott
Hurray! The Book Fair is
coming!
On Dec. 8-18, the Scholastic
Book Fair is coming here to Blyth's
very own School Library! At this
special fair, the students can choose
from a variety of books, posters
and bookmarks. Students are
allowed to purchase books in a
scheduled time period or at lunch.
From 4 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Dec.
11, adults and their children will be
able to attend the fair and purchase
books during interviews. They will
also be allowed to come in during
the lunch hour on other days to
purchase books.
The Scholastic Books are a great
idea for Christmas gifts, so don't
you miss it!
A MUSICAL CHRISTMAS
By Dane Corneil
This year BPS is putting on a
show entitled "Christmas is
Music". Every class will sing many
famous Christmas arrangements.
The students are busily practising
and creating decorations for the
performance. They would also like
to thank the producers of Brad and
Gail's Marvelous Wedding
Adventures for allowing them to
use some of their props.
The production will be held at
Memorial Hall on Dec. 17 at 7:30
p.m. and the dress rehearsal will
take place on the morning of Dec.
16.
Please come to see it because
they have been working very hard!
THE COLOURS OF
KINDERGARTEN
By Katelyn Linner
The JK/SK students continue to
learn about the colours green,
brown and purple. For the colour
green, the kindergartens read Green
Eggs and Ham and Those Green
Things. As an art activity for green,
they fingerpainted a picture with
green paint.
Brown was the next colour on the
curriculum for JK/SK so they read
Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do
You See? They published a really
neat book called: "Kindergarten,
What Do You See?"
Since it is so close to Christmas
and the colour is brown, they
decided to read The Reindeer
Christmas. They cut and pasted
reindeer heads using their traced
hands for antlers. Another activity
for brown and Christmas was
reading and acting out the Ginger
Bread Man.
Purple is the last colour for this
month so they learned The Purple
Cow, read several Barney books
and made purple jello jigglers.
They have also started to learn
some songs and poems for the
school's Christmas concert.

NEW REPORT CARDS ARE
COMING HOME!
By Scott McLellan
The Ministry of Education has
written a new curriculum and
created report cards which go along
with the curriculum. The purpose
of these new report cards is to aim
for more clarity for parents and
guardians.
Grades kindergarten through to
Grade 6 will receive levels and
letter gradings. The Grades 7 and 8
will receive assigned percentage
marks.
There are four levels:
Level 1 falls much below the
provincial standard, a D-, D and
D+,
Level 2 approaches the provincial
standard, a C-, C and C+,
Level 3 meets the provincial
standard, B and B+,
Level 4 is above and beyond the
provincial standard, an A-, A and
A+.
So far the government has only
created a language and math
curriculum but the rest are
supposed to be coming in the near
future. On Dec. 9 parents caught a
glimpse of these new report cards
when their sons and daughters
brought them home.
ELECTRICITY MAN
By John Battye
On Nov. 13 the students
attending Blyth Public School were
amazed when Bill and Joan
Coakley from Fergus came and did
an outstanding presentation to
make students aware of the dangers
of electricity. They were sponsored
by the PUC. They also displayed
some of their own inventions, like a
model that shows the many ways
people are hurt by electricity when
safety rules are not obeyed.
It is my opinion that all the
students were astonished when he
lit up the room with a dill pickle!
Now I think most of the students
are going to be more careful around
electricity.
