They had some animal visitors, including tadpoles, moles, birds, a frog, a newt, a big bug and a turtle. They are now talking about plants and sequence. They also have begun basic addition and subtraction of facts. The Kindergarten, `B' class got to go with the Grade 8s to the high school for the "Kindergarten Konnection” program. For the month of May, the Grade i class has been talking about frogs, the hospital and the circus. They enjoyed their trip to the hospital. In June they are going on two trips — first they are going to African Lion Safari for part of their zoo theme and then they are going to the Vdawanosh Conservation Area for a 4r• stream study. I hope they have fun! The Grade 2s have been studying woodland animals. The students have done research projects on different woodland animals. They even constructed a beaver pond and made dioramas. — Shannon McBurney JUNIORS Students in Grade 3 have been visited by lots of creatures recently. Children have brought in such creatures as moles, snakes, newts, a rat, tadpoles and 'a water scorpion. MI were very helpful for their animal classification. Grade 4-5 has a very exciting trip planned. They areheading to the Metropolitan Toronto Zoo. They have also been to the Benmiller Falls Reserve. In Math, they are finishing up fractions and decimals. The class has had very high marks on their tests during the past little while. This class also is completing its published books, which are very impressive. Also, the two previous trips mentioned apply to the Grade 5-6 class as well. As with many classes in the school, animals of all shapes, sizes and colors have dominated the science classes for the past few weeks. The whole of Turnberry Central thanks those who carne to the play "Going West" and gave their sup- port through funds. The play was a huge success as was the dress rehearsal earlier that day attended by a few parents. —Gordon Welch INTERMEDIATES The Grade 6-7 class is almost finished its unit on Anne of Green Gables. They divided into groups and each group wrote a play to present in front of the class. In Grade 7 mathematics, group one wrote its test on integers and began perimeter, area and volume. Group two is halfway through its unit on integers. The Grade 6s are "rounding off" numbers. Four Grade 7 students -- Shane Pegg, Tom Hawkins, Todd Machan and Cherie Wormington — and six Grade 8s — Shirley Versteeg, Don Hawkins, Bryce and Simon Taylor, Greg deVos and Rob Thompson — were chosen to write a test in a math competition. Good luck to them! In French, the Grade 6s are making collagen for their theme "Le Transport". They will be entered in the fall fair. The Grade 7s are making shopping malls and the Grade 8s are -making books for the primary children. The basketball team went to the Wingham Public School last Friday for a game. They played very well. The camping trip to Camp A+lenesetung near Goderich was a success. Everyone had a lot of fun and little sleep.

I didn't' want to eat it, but I did taste some that looked good. Some other people had to rush to the fountain. There was octopus, shrimp, squid, crab meat, mussels, dulce or seaweed, lump fish roe (fish eggs) and smoked herring. Some people almost threw up after tasting some of these. The seaweed didn't have a taste, but it had an after-taste. We had to chart how we liked each out of 10. A lot of it was marked 1. If I was going toput out the food. next time, I would put out grasshoppers, snails, snakes, fish- eye soup and monkey brains for dessert. — Cory Roth, Grade 6 Gifts dedicated at Fordwich FORDWICH—During the Sunday service on May 29 at Trinity Anglican Church several dedi- cations were made by Rev.
