East Wawanosh NEWS Editors Crystal Black, Tara Newell Lola Sneyd is a famous author. She came to our school and did a workshop with the Grades 3-4 and 4-5 classes. She taught us how she writes her poems. Two of our favorite pbems are "Money Talks" and "Eaton Centre". Here they are: Money Talks I've heard it said that money talks, The very thought intrigues me, Mine never stops to have a cha t, So hastily it leaves me. Eaton Centre 1 Below, 2 Below, 3 Below Stop I press the button And zoom to the top Ride escalators I'm part of the crowd Hear multi -accents Music soft and loud Gaze past the rail Duck fountain spray Watch Canada geese Winging on their way Arching canopies Let the weather in Stores with world's products Invite the people Foods from all lands The latest fashion trends Rainbow magic everywhere A meeting place for friends. Ms. Sneyd began to talk in rhyme and tell stories before she was two years old. But even when she was older, none of her work was taken seriously and she feels strongly that children should be encouraged to be creative. She tells anyone who asks advice on how to get their work published not to let a day go by without writing something "even if it's just for a few minutes." "And always carry a pencil and paper," she advises. Her two poetry collections, The Asphalt Octopus and The Concrete Giraffe focus on fafniliar themes and urban settings, Mich as the CN Tower, Casa- Lorna, the Eaton Centre and the boardtvalk at The' Beaches, to name a few. • 91 10',,,ot3a1$21J;!*4:,t4,•44A134)-# Grade 3-4 The Grade 34 class has been doing work with string.

Grade 6-7 The Grade 6-7 class held a penny carnival recently. There even was a,, white elephant sale and bake sale. There also were various games of chance.
