to ride our bikes safely. •

Sounds Like Music - It does sound
like music as soon as we enter the
music room at SHDHS. Boy do those
highschool kids stare at us. We look
like midgets taut with Mrs. Mdffat
leading the parade of grade fives and
sixes from all over South Huron we
feel a little more secure. It's the end
of March as we load on another bus
with highschool students to drive to
Kitchener. It's the second day and
we're off to the symphony. That day
we had a great time but it was freez-
ing. On the last day we exchanged
good-byes, taped our singing, and left
for home for the third time with our
heads full of memories.

Primary Spring Concert - Room
eight took part in the Spring Concert.
We were skipping. Some people didn't
skip really well but I think they tried
their best and so did Mrs. Skillender.
Some people did tricks, one person
showed skiing moves, one skipped
forward with crossed ropes. I skipped
backwards. It was fun. The girls told
the poem Arabella Miller. The boys
did "On the Back of a Crocodile." Our
primary choir songs were really good.
I think it was an interesting Spring
Concert. Parents, friends, grandmas
and grandpas came.
Leanne Dundas
A Visitor's Eye View of Queensland
Last week Mrs. Skillender's
daughter Elizabeth came to talk to us
.about Australia. You see she and her
grandpa went to Australia for two
weeks. While she was there she went
to Bunya park. She said she saw a
wombat taking a fit. She saw a
Kookaburra and she got to hold a
koala. She had her picture taken with
an emu but she was standing about 6
feet away from the emu to the right.
She also got to pet a wallaby. Another
day she went to the Sunshine Planta-
tion along the coast of Queensland.
I'm not too sure but I think maybehe
went inside the Big Pineapple. The
Big Pineapple is . a humungous
pineapple that was built in the Sun-
shine Plantation.

June is Senior Citizen's month. The
theme for this year is "Aging is a
lifelong affair." Every year since 1963
senior's organizations, community
groups and governments have spon-
sored events. A poster celebrating the
month produced by the office for
Senior Citizens Affairs, is published
in 23 languages this year.
A highlight of the month, according
to Ron Van Horne, Minister for Senior
Citizens, is the presentation of Ontario
Senior Achievement Awards, to be
held at Queen's Park the first week in
June.
Some events that the thousands of
seniors in Ontario will be doing are
the senior games, talent displays,
heritage activities, photography con-
test, dinners. boat cruises, building
and flying kites.
