Hullett Happenings
Kindergartens see movie
By Lindsay Gibson
and Jillian Anderson
In Kindergarten Hullett students
like to play at the puzzle centre, the
colouring centre and the house
centre. They are learning about the
letter H. They watched the movie
The Teddy Bear's Picnic.
They are learning to tell time in
Grade l and about different kinds
of clocks. In math they are learning
numbers to I00, and adding and
subtracting.
For the unit on fairy tales. Grade
2 has just finished mattresses for
the princess in The Princess and
the Pea. In science they are
learning about liquids and doing an
exciting unit on dinosaurs in
French.
On Thursday morning Grade 3
did soil experiments for science in
the kindergarten room. They made
a pile of compost, a pile of sand, a
pile of clay and a pile of soil. Then
they dumped a bucket of water on
each. They concluded that if you
were going to put earth on your
garden, compost would be the best
to use and sand would not be good
to use.
In Grade 5/6 they had a quiz on
ancient Rome. They have just
started studying human organs in
science and ants in French.
They are working on graphing in
Grade 6/7 while finishing projects
on Huron County. In science they
are studying gravity and how air
rises and falls, like how airplanes
fly. The French unit is about
criminals and their clothing.
All classes have been busy with
music. Grade 2 is working on hand
signs for doh, re, mi, fa, soh, lah, ti,
doh. Kindergarten likes to sing If
You 're Happy and You Know It and
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star.
Grade 5/6 is learning Christmas
songs. Grade 6/7 wrote a report on
a concert they pretended to have
and made an advertising poster for
it.
The first Hullett Central craft sale
was a success according to the
organizers. They want to say thank
you to the 24 vendors who
participated; to the over 200
shoppers and to everyone who
donated the door prizes, silent
auction items and the pin cushions.
Approximately 150 lbs. of food
were donated to the food bank.
Funds raised by Grade 8 through
the sale of refreshments will be
used for their class trip.

readiness for Christmas.
The sermon was Get Ready!
Much preparation, attention and
activity in 1999 has been focused
on the arrival of the new
millennium. Yet no one really
knows what to expect on Jan. 1. On
the other hand they do know what
will happen on Dec. 25, the
celebration of the birth of the Christ
child.
Knowing folks prepare for
Christmas in a variety of traditional
ways, Rev. Ross advised all to
prepare in some novel non-
traditional ways. His suggestions
included leaving no grudges
unsettled, leaving no sins
unforgiven, learning to say “I love

Sunday afternoon for food, fun and
fellowship. Under the guidance of
Ruth Mercer-Ross each family
made an Advent wreath for their
homes. Every wreath was a unique
work of art.
A bounteous potluck supper was
enjoyed and familiar carols were
sung with Rev. Ross at the piano.
A candlelight service and
communion conducted by Paul and
Ruth concluded the event.
