Times -Advocate, August 19, 1987 Page 9A Nensall playground's last hurrah As Hensall Playground wound down into its last day for the summer, the leaders reflected on the events that kept them and the children busy for the past six weeks. In keeping with the theme of creativity, playground leader Jen- nifer Thomson explained that the children were encouraged to explore their own creativity and "a lot of ac- tivities were based on using their imaginations". Among the highlights of the sum- mer was a game of survival played in the nearby woods in which the children assumed the roles of animals in their quests for food, shelter and survival. "It was a lot of work," conceded Jennifer, " but they enjoyed it." Thursday's play, held in the Com- munity Centre, was the crowning achievement of the children, all three leaders agreed. As a special treat Fri- day's schedule followed a morning movie with a hot-dog lunch. The after- noon began with a dance held in the picnic shelter followed by a water , playtime, complete with a sprinkler, tap and buckets. The leaders are looking forward to a couple of quiet weeks before they all return to school. Jennifer Thomson will travel to Waterloo to begin her first year of study in the social service work program at Conestoga College. Theresa VanWieren will attend Sir Sanford Fleming in Peterborough for her first year in the correction worker program. Christine Huston will return to South Huron District High School for grade twelve. Will they return to the playground next summer'? "We might,yes. We really enjoyed it." Softball Hensall softball teams were busy over the weekend. The Atom boys were B champs at their year end tour- nament by defeating Usborne 7-6 in a very exciting game. The Atom girls trounced Hibbert 5-0 in their final game of the season to become the A champions. Bantam boys finished as A champs at a tournament in Exeter over the weekend. • Unfortunately the Bantam girls ran into stiff competition and were eliminated early. Winner of the Minor Softball Association 50/50 draw was Denise Thompson. Denise's share was $261.
