The focus of the assembly was to honour Mr. David Perrie for the many contribu- tions he has made to environmental education at Grey over the years. Mr. Perrie taught at Grey for many years before retiring. He has been instrumental in establishing and maintaining Grey's beautiful envi- ronmental learning grounds. He con- tinues to contribute to environmen- tal education of Grey students and staff through frequent visits to the school. He can often be found accompa- nying a class on a learning adven- ture somewhere in the woods, wet- lands, meadows or down the beaver trail near the river. He has also been involved in providing in-service to staff. A model of a rock and tree that will be placed on the school grounds in honour of Mr. Perrie's contribu- tions to environmental education at Grey was shared with Mr. Perrie and the school. The Earth Day assembly included musical selections by the Grade 6, 7 and 8s under the direction of Mr. Rob Payne. The Grade 6s sang The Garden Song. The Grade 7/8s sang Power and Mother Nature's Song. All students from kindergarten to Grade 8 contributed a page to a very large thank you book that was pre- sented to Mr. Perrie. We would also like to thank Mr. Steve Bowers for attending our celebration and shar- ing with us the numerous environ- mental accomplishments of Mr. Perrie in the community. Following the assembly students were paired with their reading bud- dies for a nature walk and a clean up of the environmental learning grounds. Mme. Colquhoun's classes will be starting a new unit in French really soon. In Mrs. Scott's class, they learned the letter V. They made vans and a vase out of construction paper and used tissue paper for the purple vio- lets. They went with Mr. Perrie for a walk in the woods and learned about five wildflowers Mrs. Bowler's kindergarten class is learning the sounds "ee" and "or". In math, they are matching words with numbers. Miss Hill's classes are working on doing.division and addition. Mr. Park's class is making art designs instead of doing track and field. The Grade 3s are happy to have finished the EQAO testing. To cele- brate the end of testing, they had a party with cake and candy, and they watched a movie. They are studying chance in math. Mrs. Murray's Grade 4s are study- ing British Columbia in social stud- ies. In science, they are continuing their study of light. The Grade 4s showed the Grade Is the baby raccoon and mothei that they had seen during the week when they went through the woods with Mr. Perrie. On Friday, it was Pajama Day. Mrs. Elliot's outfit was completed with crocodile slippers and curlers in her hair. Friday, May 17 is Kalem Hammermueller's birthday. The Grade 6 class finished up their EQAO testing on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they celebrated the end of testing by watching a square dancing video and going on a nature walk with Mr. Perrie. Their time with Mr. Perrie was spent learning about trees and flowers in the woods. Miss Henry's class has been attempting to get ready for Track and Field, however the weather has been making that very difficult. Next week will be one of the busiest because they have Tech 21 and track and field. As for academics, the Grade 7 class has been studying Atlantic Canada and the Prairies, looking specifically at the physical landscape and resources. As well, they are finishing a sci- ence unit on resources on ecosys- tem, and the test for this unit will be May 31. Mr. Payne's Grade 7/8s are being taught history by Mr. Stretton. Mr. Stretton is the Grade 6's morning teacher.
