Co-op student helps out at Blyth PS
Vandalism strikes entire community
The senseless destruction of two signs along the Blyth Greenway Trail, discovered last
Wednesday morning had village employees, volunteers and benefactors just shaking their
heads. The Greenway Entrance sign located just of Hwy. 4 and the Radford-Scrimgeour
sign for the fit trail were smashed from their posts. A vehicle had also run through the
butterfly garden planted by the Horticultural Society, pushing aside huge rocks and
flattening plants.

We welcome Leanne Haggitt
hcrc, to Blyth Public School, as a
Co-op student. Leanne lives in
Blyth and attended our school. She
selected Blyth because she wanted
to discover, for herself, what it
would be like to work at a Public
School. Currently she attends
school at F. E. Madill High School.
Leanne isn't certain what her
future career might be, but she
would like it to have a connection
with children.
As far as her hobbies go, Leanne
is the captain of the F. E. Madill
cheerleading squad. She sings in
the Blyth United Church choir as
well as The Way Band (a group of
people from her church who sing
together). She also teaches a
primary Sunday School class at the
Blyth United Church.

The kindergarten class is happy
to announce the arrival of two new
students, Cole Wilson-MacTavish
and Elijah Bailey.
They have two classes that share
the kindergarten room. One attends
Monday, Wednesday and
alternative Fridays, while the other
class is Tuesday, Thursday and
every other Friday.
The students enjoyed meeting
new friends and being with all of
their old friends again, They told
each other about their families and
they made paintings of their homes.
Kindergartens have been
involved in fall activities. They
have talked about the signs of fall,
about all of the leaves that are
changing colour, and about the
leaves and seeds that are falling.
They have been busy just like the
squirrels collecting acorns,
chestnuts and maple keys.
They studied all of the different
kinds of apples, what they look like
inside, how they grow and how the
farmer harvests all of the apples.
They have also studied the
colours red, yellow, and blue
through stories, songs, poems,
crafts, graphs and other activities.

The Grade 4/5 class has been a
really busy group. For physical
education classes, they have started
with circuit training at the
Greenway. They must have liked
the Greenway because they've set a
goal to visit the circuits once a
week until Christmas (that is if the
weather is co-operative).
These students have been
exploring the saltwater habitats and
communities, discussing and
investigating the similarities
between freshwater and saltwater
communities, as well as sharing
many saltwater treasures brought in
by the class. They're very curious
about ocean creatures and arc
looking forward to discovering
even more facts about them.
At the beginning of the week
they started animal projects.
The class wishes Alyssa Gross a
happy birthday on Oct. 8.
