Books Are Fun By John Ramirez On October 20, the Grade 2 students of Mrs. Little's class and Mrs. Webster, Blyth's teacher -librarian, went to the public library in Blyth. There, they met Pat Brigham, the supervisor of the library. She explained the services available, and also showed types of books and where they are. She encouraged students to get Huron County Public Library cards which are free and can be used in any Huron County branch. The Blyth Branch is open Tuesdays, Thursday and Saturdays. Because this is Ontario Library Week, she gave the students puzzles to do and homemade cookies to eat. The children were very enthusiastic about the trip. Thalen's Hobby Farm By Erica Clark and Kim Ferguson The Grade 1 and 2s went on a long walk to Thalen's bird and animal farm near the Blyth Creek on October 21. Mr. and Mrs. Thalen showed the students around. Their favourite birds and animals were wild - turkeys, miniature goats, ducks that fly, swans, budgies, parrots, double -yellow headed Amazons that talk, love birds, rab- bits, guinea pigs and Blackie the dog. Their two most favorite animals were the honey bear and the monkeys. The students would like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Thalen for the fun time they had. Outdoor Education By Heidi Scrimgeour and Sarah Allan On October 23 a Professional Develop- ment Day was held for the elementary teachers of Huron County. It took place in Blyth and surrounding natural resource and conservation sites. The keynote address was given by Bill An- drews, Professor of Science at the Universi- ty of Toronto, and a former resident of this area. The workshops included Project Wild, a full day program at the Hullett Conserva- tion Area; Wawanosh Smorgasbord, a half day session at the Wawanosh Nature Cen- tre, and orientation for orienteering, a half day session at the Blyth Public School. There were several other interesting op- tions for the teachers involved. The day was a change from the usual P.D. format — and the weather stayed dry. A Touch of Class By Debbie Logue and Laurie Wharton On October 23, 12 dedicated students for Blyth gave up their P.D. holiday to visit the Stratford Shakespearian Festival. A similar number of students from Hullett Central, Vanastra, Clinton, Seaforth and Huron Centennial Schools were present for the bus trip to Stratford. Four students, from Blyth, Jason Elliott, Karli Yanchus, Lisa Bromley and Debbie Logue, were given a special backstage tour. They saw the underworld where the ac- tors wait to go on stage. The wardrobe and props departments were also visited. They had the unique opportunity of standing on the Festival Stage which was already set for the afternoon performance of Much Ado About Nothing. The morning was capped by a visit to the warehouse where all the costumes from all the performances are stored. Costumes from this warehouse are rented by theatres all over Canada. In the afternoon, the group watched the performance of Much Ado About Nothing. Prior to this, the students had studied parts of the play, costuming and set design during their English classes. Because of their knowledge about the play, most of the students followed the story line quite well. The students especially enjoyed the costumes, the unique way in which the sets were changed and the size of the theatre itself.
