HomeMy WebLinkAboutTimes-Advocate, 1981-05-21, Page 25Plenty of activities at St. Pat's school "Catholic Education - The Spirit is Alive" was the theme for Education Week at St. Patrick School. This theme, adopted by all schools in the London and Middlesex Catholic School System, attempted to em- phasize the reasons for the existence of our school system. Our system exists to provide an educational at- mosphere which fosters a positive self-concept and directs the spiritual, in- tellectual, aesthetic, physical and social growth of students to enable them to live as responsible members of society. Visitors were free to visit classrooms throughout the week. The annual open house and science fair was held on May 6. Students from grades five to eight inclusive had prepared many attractive and creative projects which were displayed in the gymnasium. Students were available to demonstrate their scientific knowledge to parents and friends. Visitors were free to tour the school and visit the various classrooms. Guests and students were served donuts, coffee and freshie by the staff. Each student participating in the science fair received a certificate and winners were chosen from the various grades. Grade 5 - Alfie Crunican, "Electromagn- ets"; Tammy Williams, "What Happens When Things Burn"; Brian Kelly, "How to Make Clean Drinking Water"; Coby Vandenberg, "Volcanoes." Grades 5-6: Lisa VanGeel - "Home Made Teacher"; John Reymer - "Solar Heated Pool", Michelle Feddema - "Time" and Monica McCarthy - "How Yeast Makes Bread Rise." Grade 7: Margaret Mit- chell - "Nature's Colours"; Lisa Anderson - "Home Made Soap"; Rachel Rosch - "What Solutions are Elec- trolytes" and Raymond VanGeel - "Water Power". Grade 8: Lisa Kaune - "Acid Rain", Dianne Vanneste - "How the Sun Produces Water"; John Straatman - "Windmills" and Angela Morgan - "Our Solar System." A Mothers' Day celebration was prepared and presented for the en- joyment of parents and fellow students by Chris McClure's grade 2-3 class. This enjoyable event, which included songs and visual and oral presentations, honoured Mary, our spiritual mother, and mothers of the participating students. Each of the pupils presented their mother with a card, and Mothers were invited to stay for a lunch served by the class. At the close of the Mothers' Day celebration, each grade four student was presented with a religious memento from the Catholic Women's League. The grade four students have recently received the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Pupils ap- preciated this remembrance of such a special event in their spiritual lives.

Pupils in grades four and five had studied an amusing novel "Jacob Two -two Meets the Hooded Fang". For- tunately, students from Mary Maxwell's and Blair Redmond's classes were able to attend a dramatic presentation of this novel at London's Grand Theatre on Monday, May 11. By all accounts, it was an excellent play. Students from junior kindergarten to grade four attended a performance of "Peter Pan" on Tuesday, May 12 at Althouse College. This event was presented by the Maycourt Marionettes. Opportunities to attend drama presentation and participate in school celebrations recognize that creativity is encouraged through each child's par- ticipation in drama, physical education and vocal music classes. Since St. Patricks has an active library skills program, efforts were made to celebrate Canadian Book Week, May 11-15. Ian Wallace, a Canadian author and writer of several books for children, spoke to junior and intermediate students in the school library on Wed- nesday. His presentation included a dramatic reading of his favourite book "The Sandwich." Mr. Wallace spoke of the life and work of an author and used various aids to illustrate the steps in producing a book from the first draft stage to publication. After asking many questions of our guest, the students were pleasantly surprised to actually be served samples of the type of sandwich referred to in the novel. Father Joseph P. Finn, pastor of St. Patrick's Church, was honoured Thursday by school students and staff on the occasion of his 40th anniversary as a priest. The school com- munity wished to express their affection and deep appreciation to Father Finn for his support and frequent participation in school and classroom liturgies. A special school assembly was held Thursday May 14 and attended by all staff and students, Trustee Mr. Pat Crunican and P.T.A. Vice - President Mrs. Carole Damen. The special guest at this assembly was Father Finn who was presented with a Spiritual Bouquet by the following student representatives Cari Posma, Brian Maslen, Alix Clymans, Daryn Posma, Daphne Damen, Brian Jewel, Kimberley Giesen, Loretta Foran, Patrick Toohey, Marianne Damen, Derek Cockram, Glen Murphy, David Traher, Anita Crunican, Neil Rooney, Theresa Morkin, Chris VanderPloeg, Rachel Rosch, David Manders, Lisa Kaune and Stephen Toohey. A special tribute has also been paid recently to John VanderLoo, custodian at the school. Mr. VanderLoo suffered a severe accident recently which resulted in hospitalization and long absence from work. Two student representatives: Julie O'Shea and Mona Morking presented Mr. VanderLoo with a special "Get Well Card" signed by some 300 of his friends from students and staff.
