Robertson Roundup
Country run
is a success
BY SHANNON HILL
The cross country run was held on Oc-
tober 16. The senior boys placed first; senior
girls placed first; and the midgets, juniors
and intermediates all did very well with
each runner doing his best.
It was a fun day with everyone trying very
hard.
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. The primary choir groups sound-
ed great as did the junior choir and the
band. We have some very talented people.
There was a smashing Halloween dance
for Grades 6, 7 and 8 from Robertson and
Grade 6 from Victoria on October 30 at
Robertson School. There were games and
contests waiting to be won. Kim Linklater
and Lisa Herlufson were just two of the
lucky winners for the costume contest. Mat-
thew Price was the lucky winner for the
pumpkin face contest.
A good crowd of interested area residents attended the second of a three-part series on com-
munity volunteers on Satu%day. The seminar featured Karen Ross (seated), of the Central
Volunteer Bureau in Lotidpn, who conducted a discussion on recruiting and effective use of
Volunteers. Recreation Director Jane Netzke said the seminar was "a very positive thing,"
and a number of good ideaS were developed. (photo by Patrick faftis)
St. Joseph's Journal
Students release balloons
by Wendy Miltenburg
St. Joseph's, Kingsbridge has been busy in
the month of October. Mrs. McDonagh's
room is now studying New France in
History. Students participated in the St.
John Ambulance course which.covered ar-
tificial respiration, control of bleeding, ac-
tions at an emergency andpoisoning. On Oc-
tober 30, the school's Public Health Nurse
came to talk about her career.
Miss Devlin and her Grade 4, 5 and 6
students have been studying about the com-
munity. The whole class took part in a
mural that was painted of the Kingsbridge
community. Currently the Holy Land is be-
ing studied.
• Grades 2 and 3 and Mrs. Lalonde had a
Teddy Bear Day. 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.
