Each year auditions are held at the school to choose 100 students who have shown ability and extra inter- est in singing. Being chosen for the choir is a source of great satis- faction and pride for the children, ac- cording to EPS music teacher Joan Perrie. She hates to disappoint any- one, but confesses that 100 song- sters are all she can handle. This is the fifth time the young Exeter singers have been asked to tr part of the Blyth concert. The music is especially chosen to combine adult and children's voices. In one selection, the children will sing "Away in a Manger" while the adults hum the accompaniment. In another, the children's choir will be divided into four, each singing a dif- ferent tune to a lullaby, "Christmas Long Ago". "We are still working on that one", Mrs. Perrie said with a smile. There will be two concerts, at 3:00 and 8:00 p.m. Tickets are available at the school. The cost is $5 for adults, and 1.50 for children under 12.

Samantha Edwards Room 11 - Busy Times in Kindergarten We have had a very busy Fall in our. Kindergarten Classroom. We have teamed many routines and are grating to learn our way around the school. We especially enjoyed using the ICON computers to help us learn numbers. It was also fun to learn the colours by having "colour" days when we all wore the same co- lour. On blue day, we wore blue, we brought blue things and we glued blue pictures on our colour chart.
