Grade Two
By Lindsay Gibson
Grade 2 was a happening place
this week as they entertained each
other during their storytelling
competition. It's very scary to
speak in front of an audience for
the first time, but they did a
wonderful job. Three speakers will
be chosen for the contest on Feb.
11.
The class did a project on
Canadian animals. They have to
find out the appearance, habitat,
enemies and habits. They also have
to draw pictures to help them
explain the animal's lifestyle.
Grade five-six reading buddies and
Mrs. Meurer helped them find their
information.
There's lots to celebrate with
three birthdays going on. They get
to make cupcakes and then at the
end of the day they get to eat them
all up. A special birthday wish to
Matthew Merner on Jan. 30, Emma
Wilts on Feb. 3 and Derek Brandon
on Feb. 4.

In math they are building shapes.
It's a lot of fun. Some are building
farms, towns, cap sites and much
more. mThere are seven different
shapes they can use, cylinder, cube,

tetrahedron, triangular-based
pyramid and cone.

Happenings at Hullett PS
It was a successful weekend for
the speed skating Hunts from Ethel
when they took to the rink in
Kingston.
As in past weekends, the event
was all-points, which can result in a
skater being placed at the bottom of
a fast group or the top of a slower
group. However, this time the
Hunts fared well.
Bantam competitor, Brett, skated
really well, said his mother, Kathy,
capturing fifth in a pack which was
very close in ability.
The pack skated in a tight bunch
throughout the race, making it more
fun, she added.
Brett had to place well in his

final race of the day, a 777-metre
race to retain his fifth-place finish.
By shaving six seconds off his per-
sonal best time, he placed fourth of
six and held his spot.
Though Cayli, a PeeWee class
skater, was placed at the bottom of
a faster pack, Kathy said she did
very well and was a crowd pleaser
with her inside passing to move
ahead of skaters one to three years
older than herself.
She skated a personal best in the
500 metre, earning a time of
1.21.03.
