Two groups would compete at each

teams would advance in different

Grade 8
On June 15 the Grade 8 pupils
took part in a three-pitch tournament
at Clinton Public School. Students
from each of the five participating
schools were divided among the six
teams.
A game of three pitch resembles a
game of baseball except that each
batter gets only three pitches. The
advantage is that the batter is pitched
to by a member of his/her own team.
Each team played five games.
No particular school won the
event but it was a fun day for all the
students. Miss Uhler went with our
class from Hullett Central School
and we shared busing with the Grade -
8 class from Blyth Public School:-

On June 18 a team from Western
University brought a blue whale
presentation to Hullett Public. I
stopped by the school that day to
pick up student reporfs and got the
chance to play Jonah! It was a "cool" •
experience to enter the tail of this
mammal to peek out its tiny eye-
holes, to flip its small by comparison
Clippers and stare up through its
blowholes. Eighty-four feet or 27
metres of whale stretched from the
east hallway, through the doors,
across the gym and nosed up to the
stage.
The pupils were educated about
the blue whale during the day and
will long remember the experience
of going inside the whale.
