Brookside students learn about fables
PRIMARY NEWS
Mrs. Cameron's Kindergarten class has
been learning about some fables such as
The Little Red Hen, The Three Billy Goats
Gruff and The Elephant's Child. We have
enjoyed making puppets and acting out
these stories.
Mrs. Young's KII class has finished lear-
ning all their colours. On Thursday we had
hotdogs for lunch. Beginning November 9,
Mrs. Barb Bakker will be our teacher until
March Break.
Miss Jewitt's Grade 1 class has been
busy practising their adding facts to five.
They will be visiting Wawanosh Nature
Center to learn how animals and plants
prepare for winter.
In the Dinosaur Den we made papier
mache of things that come in a tree and
painted them. We made nests, a pear, a
raccoon, apples, a butterfly, and
treehouses!
We are learning how to write in cursive.
Wow! We are finishing up trees, and
treehouses now. I wonder what's next?
JUNIOR NEWS
In Grade 4, our •mystery person, Dr. S.,
was Mr. Farnell. He really spooked us and
brought a mystery bag that really held
tomatoes and squashed oranges. He told us
ghost stories and we had apple cider and
popcorn. It was good fun. This month
we're studying the Kwakiutl Indians of the
Pacific Coast.
Grade 5 is working on poems, stories and
posters for Remembrance Day. Four peo-
ple are sending poems to the Legion Con-
ttst - Michelle MacGillivray, Doug
E3ROOKSIDE
E3ROADCAST
Barger, Sandra Meader and Patricia
Robinson. Michelle McClinchey is entering
a story. Posters by Amanda Todd, Doug
Barger, Michelle MacGillivray and Philip
Dickson are also entered. Our class has
been playing games to learn about On-
tario. Our class and Mr. Spittal's have
been selecting the cast for our Christmas
Concert Musical.
This week the Room 6 Readers have
been looking at stories about fighting and
solving arguments. This fit right in with a
lengthy discussion on Remembrance Day
and what causes wars. We then wrote our
own recipes for peace.
SENIOR NEWS
Mrs. Tebbutt's Grade 6 class went to
visit George Smith's machine shop. In the
shop there were automatic rollers, a crane
that can lift almost a ton, and a metal cut-
ting machine etc.... When the class visited
Mr. Smith, he was making snowblower
parts. Other things that Mr. Smith makes
are grain buggy's and snowblowers.
Mrs. Allen's Grade 7 class have started a
study of the North American Indians. They
are doing research on different kinds of In-
dian groups, and when they are done they
will put the information on a mural. Mr.
Spittal made the first cuts of the girls
volleyball tryouts. They are also doing
many projects and writing tests.
Mr. Liddle's Grade 7 class is working on
rounding numbers and in art they are

girls and Miss Clynick is working with the

well underway and the junior volleyball
houseleague began this week.
COMPUTER SNARL-UP
Our pilot project has "crashed". The
new computer in the office has been
returned because the hard disk is not
operating correctly. We are afraid that
three weeks of Mr. Blake's time may have
been wasted. Those pink sheets with
statistical information may be coming
home to parents again if we are required to
start over. The co-operation and patience
of parents, teachers and Mr. Blake will be.
appreciated.
