PAGE 22. THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1998.
The East Wawanosh School
Advisory Council, along with the
Belgrave Kinsmen and Optimists,
is sponsoring an auction on Friday,
April 24 to raise funds for projects
such as the new playground
equipment. Response to the auction
has been wonderful and, as a result,
it has been moved to the Belgrave
Arena. The preview time starts at 2
p.m. and the auction is at 7 p.m.
with Tony Chaffe as the auctioneer.
There will be a lunch booth on
premises.
The selection for sale includes
sports memorabilia and hundreds,
yes hundreds of new items donated
by the people of the surrounding
community.

The kindergarten class is learning
about shapes. So far they have
learned squares, circles, rectangles,
triangles, diamonds, hearts and
stars.
They have also learned the
colours yellow, red, blue, orange,
green, purple, white, black, pink
and grey. They have learned
addition and can count to 100.

When they are inside, they like to
make crafts, especially rabbit

be rezoned residential industrial,
said Weber.
Owner of the lots, Brian Kelling-
ton said the lots are too wet, would
not take a lot of housing and are
now just being wasted. Parking his
truck would not spoil the neigh-
bourhood. He is in the process of
cleaning up the land.
Several in attendance were con-
cerned about the possibility of a
rezoning, saying it is not wanted by
neighbours, other lots will not sell
and it will result in a lack of control
over future uses.
Kellington said he bought the lot
March 27 because no one wanted
trucks on the street.
Council agreed to keep the origi-
nal wording of the bylaw and add
that the use must be accessory to
the permitted use.
The amended wording was pre-
sented at the April 14 meeting
along with a draft copy regarding
heads, playing -in the doll house,
playing in their house where they
get to dress up and make fake food,
playing in the store, working at the
computer, playing at the sand table
and playing with the playdough.
When they are outside, they like
to make sand castles, playing
"Duck, Duck, Goose", and playing
on the jungle gym and the slide.
Matthew Cottrill says, "I like the
whirly bird because it goes so fast".

BOOK FAIR

29. Students will be receiving a

Tuesday.
parking on road allowances. After
review by petitioners, the amend-
ment will be considered at the April
21 meeting.
In other zoning matters, Cameron
Yuill was on hand to object to the
regulations regarding exotic ani-
mals in urban areas.
Council informed him that he
would not be affected by the bylaw
because exotic animals were
already kept on his property.
The owners of Lot 3, Plan 161,
sought council's permission for a
craft shop in their residence.
Council said this would be
allowed as long as the floor space
for the shop did not exceed 25 per
cent of the building.
A bylaw was passed to rezone a
portion of Lot 7-10, Conc. 1 and
parts of Lots 5, 6, and 11, Conc. 1
to village industrial-special provi-
sions and restricted agriculture.
A 20-day appeal period begins

This month the Grade 2/3s will
be springing into spring with many
spring activities. First on their busy
schedule is swimming lessons until
the end of May at the Vanastra
Community Centre, and on the
days when swimming isn't a
priority, they can always stay trim
and fit by playing soccer or
baseball for gym.
These two activities take up quite
a lot of time, but those incredible
2/3s still manage to study skin care
plus safe and healthy foods in
environmental studies, to enjoy
songs and art, and to read the class
novel called 'Henry and the Paper
Route."
On another note they have just
finished their first reader and are
starting a new one.

JK/SK has some new students!
Michael Nelson from Wingham has
moved into Class A, while
Montana Riley from Hullett has
joined Class B.
While out walking, Mrs.
Buffinga's class used their keen
senses to detect signs of spring.
They saw daffodils, tulips, robins
and green grass. They felt the warm
breeze and the hot sunshine, and
heard birds singing and people
cutting their lawns. They also had
fun watching a video and
discussing many other signs of
spring.
arranged them into pictures. A
main highlight in their week was
getting a new classroom game
called Alphabug Soup.
Jessica Machan brought her pet
rabbits in on Friday to show the
class.
Grade 3 did egg observations.
They learned that there are six parts
of an egg. In math, they are
learning to divide cookies. The
class is going to Huronlea to recite
a poem that they have memorized.
Grade 4 is doing a unit on
Canada. They did a scavenger hunt
and had to find pictures that relate
to Canada in magazines. They had
to write five sentences that they
knew about Canada, and had to
write a story.
In art class, Grade 5 had a messy
but fun time, finger painting
pictures of their choice.
Grade 6/7 is learning how to use
the new program called
"Hyperstudio." They are using it to
create a family tree, and to write
about their family's history.
In Grade 7/8 math they have
done fractions, probability and
statistics. Their new unit has been
about newspapers.
The Grade 8s are very excited
about graduation. Mrs. Regier has
been preparing everyone for the
upcoming spring concert entitled
"Celebrate You and Me".
The winners of last week's math
contest were: Garret Backhaus with
the lowest number, Michael
Sommerville- Barlow with the
average number, Jill Johnson was
the winner from Grade 4, Cory
Chapman was the runner-up from
Grade 4 and Jessica Spink was the
winner from Grade 6.
