If anyone is alive this year
in French, it's Grade 5. They
have been listening to tapes
all along, have learned one
song, talked about "les
animaux", their adjectives
and reviewd their colors.
Even with all this, they have
time for games of "Simon
dit" and French hockey. So
far in hockey, the score is 3-2
for the girls and it is the third
period. Let's hope they can
keep going at this rate.

This week has been very
busy in the school office.
They are busy with the
annual government report
and school newsletter. They
also are busy planning
school field trips and a new
school bell system has been
installed with the master
clock in Mr. Robertson's
office. Mr. McCall, who is
the superintendent of
operations, visited Mr.
Robertson last week.
Here is a reminder: if you
have an odd job you can't do,
hire a student from our
school. We will rake leaves,
shovel snow, clean windows
or anything. Call the school
office at 357-3270 to arrange
for your helper. The
proceeds will go toward our
class trip to the Olympics in
Calgary in 1988.

Mr. Lisle's Grade 7 class
just has finished its short

five new novels and will be
answering questions about
them ad'cording to Bloom's
Taxonomy. In part of
physical education, they are
going to the golf course to

This should be a very ex-
citing event.
