Robertson Roundup Country run is a success BY SHANNON HILL The cross country run was held on Oc- tober 16.

HALLOWEEN MADNESS The primary and junior grades had great fun on October 31. The school was filled with vampires, pumpkins, witches, clowns and punkers. Most classes had a party in the afternoon with games and plenty of treats. The costumes were fabulous. Thanks to all who participated in the assembly.

Everyone in the class had to bring a Teddy Bear. Each subject had Teddy Bear in it, such as, Teddy Bear Spell- ing. They have had three birthdays - Dennis Hogan, Erin Hickey and Yvonne Bowler. The class enjoys doing centres in their language arts class. Their favourite centres are the listening centre - where you listen to things and the creative centre - where dif- ferent things are created. The class couldn't wait for Halloween because they were very excited about the costume contest and their Halloween party. • Kindergarten and Grade 1 had a Hallo- ween party. Mrs. Eedy has been to a meeting in Dublin where an explanation was made about the new report card the Kindergartens will be getting. On October 17, Tony Miltenburg, a Direc- tor on the Lucknow District Co-op Board, and Colleen Adams, an employee at the Co- op, brought a helium tank and filled up balloons for each student in the school. At- tached to each balloon was the student's name, and the school's address and phone number so the finder could contact the school. The students could enter a farm safety draw also. The co-op donated a beautiful book called "The Farm" in memory of their 40th anniversary. Grades 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 released their balloons together and then Kindergartens, grades 1, 2 and 3 sent their balloons on their journey. The magazine campaign ended October I9 with Grades 4, 5 and 6 raising the most money. The last week in October the school started to practice for the Christmas con- cert. Happy Birthday to Mrs. Lalonde who celebrated her birthday on October 25. Both the girls and boys in Grades 7 and 8 are practising volleyball at recess. Coach for the girls is Mrs. Lalonde and for the boys Miss Devlin. • On October 31 the whole school par- ticipated in either the haunted house or games the student council had planned: It's tough being an animal BY STEPHANIE LEVESQUE "It was really scary!" NoAt isn't a horror show. Students from Howick Central Public School were experiencing life, life as an animal - be it rabbit, fox or deer. Not the quaint Walt Disney type of ex- perience either - but the experience of sear- ching for food and water while ever mindful of predators. It is an animal survival game with the students' role playing small animals and predators with elements (such as fire and drought) thrown in for good measure. Teacher Wayne Stewart enacted the part of man - the hunter. This survival gari'le, not to be confused with the "adult" game of a similar title is part of the learning experience offered by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority at its newly opened Wawanosh Valley Con- servation education centre. The centre operates under the leadership of MVCA's education technician, Deb Perkin. She has worked with schools on behalf of the conservation authority for a number of years. This fall marks the first official use of the education centre after a lot of effort by the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority staff. MVCA owns the 400 -acre site at Wawanosh Valley, south of Wingharn, and has been working on a tablishing an educa- •4ietteeftmfor golfodti year. • Thirty to 40 students a day ;.ver a three- week -time -period have visited the education centre this fall: Ms. Perkin said the program at the educa- tion centre is divided into two sections. There is the animal survival game and there is a nature hike where the students learn such things as tree identification. The classroom on the site is used by the students before and after they actually get outside. Located inside a barn on the proper- ty, the classroom was able to be constructed last winter through government grants. After the animal survival game, the students said they had a better understanding of life in the forest. While most said they were scared, they admitted it was fun too. The teachers said the program is beneficial and while he agreed that similar natural surroundings could be found around the school, Mr. Stewart compared the trip to the education centre to other f ieldyrips. He commented that a lot of std ents at the school live on farms and while they may be in the bush on the farm, they don't really see anything. Back in school, the class will write letters to MVCA which is part of the language arts program and there is also a reading unit on animals.
