Lindsay Gibson and Jillian
Anderson have agreed to keep us
informed of Hullett’s school news
on a regular basis. Following is
their first report.
On Friday, Nov. 5, was' the
second virtues assembly. The
theme was responsibility. The
students show responsibility by ‘
handing projects in on time, doing
homework, taking care of things.
By doing this they make Hullett
one of the best schools.
The Grade 1 pupils like to play at
centres. Their favourite centres are
sand and colouring.
In Grade 3 they are making shiny
rocks in the rock tumbler. They just
finished our apple unit. In choir
they are singing some neat songs.
Right now in Grade 4 they are
doing mouse book activity sheets.
In French they are doing a unit on
clowns. A little while ago, they did
book reports on mystery books.
In Grade 6/7 they are doing ,a
project on the history of Huron
County.
In Grade 5/6 they are working on
ancient civilization projects. For
their reports they are doing models,
bristolboard displays, booklets,
videos and cassettes. They had a
Native Canadian come to the
classroom. He told native myths.

there was a beautiful sunrise. In the
Western sky a few seconds before
there were only light clouds
floating. Then suddenly at the edge
of large clouds a touch of pink
appeared but one smaller one in the
due West was pink,
immediately every cloud
pink - brilliant, and
northwest the farmlands
pink.
I have never seen anything
remotely like it. It seemed like a
sunset in the morning.
Then, very quickly the pink
began to fade but some pink clouds
drifted behind the valley trees in
the south still pink - they showed
here and there through the forest. It
was something to see - I still can
scarcely believe it!

better and praying that she will
continue to improve daily.
