PRIMARY
The Kindergartens have just
finished a unit on animals. 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.

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.

• TASTE TEST --'a., ._ . -
It was about 10:30 a.m. a few.
weeks ago and we were about to
start the `seafood taste test. 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
