Activities keep students busy
By Brook Wheeler
It's been back to school for eight
weeks, and already Brussels
students have enjoyed some great
activities.
So far they've gone to the apple
orchard, ran cross country, held
spirit week, a door decorating
contest, a Halloween dance and
penny carnival.
Each day during Spirit Week
they did something different. First,
was pajama day, then hat day,
backwards day, and finally gum
day. The class that participated the
most in Spirit Week was the Grade
6/7 class. They won an ice cream
party for whenever they want it.
The door decorating contest was
won by the Grade 4s. Their door
was very well done. They
decorated it by drawing a pastel
picture on paper and taping it to the
door.
Thursday, Oct. 30, from after
school until 5 p.m., there was a
Halloween dance. The dance was
only for students from Grade 5 - 8.
The purpose of the dance was to
fundraise for the Grade 7/8 class
trip. The dance was organized by
Rachel Elliott, and Rachael Speers.
Friday was the penny carnival. It

Blyth Public School student Orie Falconer takes his turn
at jumping over an obstacle along the Blyth Greenway
Trail. Carol MacGregor's class makes a point of visiting
the trail each week for some physical activity, fresh air
and fun. Adam Young looks on.
Blyth students write poems
By Amanda Bearss
The Grade 6/7 class is getting
right down to work. In math they
are working with numbers in areas
such as factors, multiples, prime
and composite numbers. They are
also doing number patterning and
place value.
For creative writing they have
been publishing poems and stories
for the Legion contest.
For physical education they have
been going to the circuit training at
the Blyth Greenway every Friday.
In science they're comparing
vertebrates and invertebrates, and
rating them as higher and lower
species.
In history they have studied how
the environment of the cultural
areas affected how they lived and
how they survived.
On Oct. 21, Detective Mike Scott
visited the classroom and talked
about peer pressure, and
consequences. He shared many
worthwhile ideas. The class
appreciated that he took time from
his busy schedule to visit them.

In the Grade 2/3 classroom, the
students have been studying bugs,
reptiles and mammals. They are
going to be doing a project on these
creatures.
On Oct. 21 they went to the
Nature Centre to look for signs of
winter and for seeds.
On Oct. 30 the students went to
the Blyth Theatre to watch a play.
There are several new students in
Grade 2/3 class, Adel Dodds,

When Grade 3/4 teacher Mrs.
Hessels went to the London
recycling plant she had an idea to
recycle pop cans at the school so
we can clean the earth and make
money at the same time.
On Fridays the Grade 3/4s will
collect all kinds of pop cans. Mr.
and Mrs. Hessels will take them to
the recycling plant every two to
four months.
Because pop cans are so light we
need a lot to add up to amounts to
make money. The money will go to
school funds for school trips and
extras.
Mrs. Hessels says they might just
stick with pop cans because they
are easy to maintain.
