Shown above, Sarah Austin shows some work to grand- mother (lean Austin. On Tuesday, May 30, the students of Exeter Public invited their "Grandpals" to come to school for the morning. After a very enjoya- ble program of music and skits in the gym, the grandpals were invited to visit their grandchild's or friend's classroom. The following are some letters which the Grade 3 students in Room 7 wrote about this day. Mrs. J. Mills Grade 3 teacher Dear Editor: Yesterday, May 30th, we had Grandpal's day. We got to show them our classroom, library and the tulips we planted outside for V.E. day. Only 3 kids in my class didn't have a grandpa!, so they shared with someone else. When we did math, we timed each other. Bud got more than I did in one minute. I hope we have another grandpal's day. Shannon Baer On Grandpal's Day I had tons of fun. First, me and my grandpal filled out a sheet where we told our favourite stuff, like school sub- jects, gym and singing. My grandma, (my grandpal) said she liked singing and math. I said I liked reading. I showed her around my room and she told me that if you were bad when she went to school, you'd get the strap. She liked the back of the room because it was covered with sea projects. She really liked my classroom. It was lots of fun! Meaghan Spence My grandpal's day was good. My grandma and grandpa didn't' have a couch and they didn't have good desks in their schools. We do num- ber facts but they didn't have number facts. When I got 26 number facts in a minute, they were proud of me. But they had to go home. But I still had fun. Derek Kelly On May 30th, E.P.S. had a grandpal's day and I found it rather inter- esting when most grandpals came. Our grandpa! or grandpals got to help us with a list of things to work on. We had 13 things to work on. It was a very busy morning. Some grandpals left before lunch time, but still some didn't leave before. We had 30 grandpals come to grandpal's day. Everyone had a great time on grandpal's day. My 3 grandpals stayed for about one hour. Matthew Johns On May 30th we had Grandpal's Day. That is when we invited Grandparents or older friends and did stuff with them, like play games, show them the school and other stuff too. My grandpal and I filled out a sheet that had questions like what was your classroom like when you were little? And what did you do that I do not do now? Be- fore we got to see them the Primary choir from Exeter Public School, Junior and Intermediate choir entertained them with songs and plays. There were about 32 grandparents in our classroom! I showed my grandpal the school library and the tulip bulbs that our class planted for Remembrance Day and V.E. Day to remember people that died in the war. My grandpal and I had lots of fun! I hope we have Grandpal's Day again next year. Diana Lam We had Grandpal's Day. I think that Grandpal's Day might be for kids who don't see their grandparents very much. Or it could be be- cause we do more things with our mother and father at school, but I think it's because we don't know how much fun we can have with them. At Grandpal's Day, I showed them my desk and then I got thegu and my teachers to meet. I read my hook to them and showed them around. Then I had to take them to Kimberly's classroom, (my older sister). But first we went and got something to eat and drink. Then we were at Kimberly's room. I went back to my classroom and that's what went on with me and my grandparents. Debra Toonk )I Page 24 Times -Advocate, June 7, 1995 "Please sir..."
