Blyth Legion takes part in school service
By Morgan Howson
Last Friday all the students at
Hullett Central Public School
enjoyed a great Remembrance Day
service. The Blyth Legion Branch
420 started it off with an amazing
presentation of the colours, then
Barb Bosman played O’ Canada on
the piano.
Next, two students from each
class laid a wreath from their class.
We stood for the Last Post and the
Reveille and then the Grade 7/8
class presented “In Flanders Fields”
by John McCrae and Jacob and
Naomi welcomed and introduced
the guests. Then the Grade 2/3 class
rocked the floor with “What a
Soldier Means to Us” and the Grade
2 students entered again singing
“Can a Little Child Like Me?” with
the Grade 1 class. Barb Bosman
then played “God Save The Queen”
at the piano.
The Primary Choir then sang
“Take One Minute to Stand” and
then poetry readings were given by
Grade 5/6 and Grade 3. There were
a few very brave students that stood
up and sang the song “What Can I
Do” while Barb played the piano.
Three Grade 7 students read their
Remembrance Day reflections and
then the Grade 3/4 and Grade 4/5
classes presented their video, “Let
There Be Peace on Earth”. The
service ended with Barb Bosman
playing, “Let There Be Peace on
Earth” as students exited the gym.
Great job to everyone who
participated and a very big thank
you to Branch 420 for coming and
taking part in our ceremony.

This week in the Grade 3/4 class,
the students were studying other
countries and cultures and
comparing them to our own. In
science they were discovering how
animal communities work and they
are also creating their own food
chains. In math the class learned the
“Rounding Rap”. Next week there is
a math test. I hope you enjoy this
and read my article next week.
By Jenna McDonald
In the Grade 7 classroom they are
currently learning about data
management, mean, median, mode
and bar graphs. They are about to
take a test on the science unit in
environmental interactions. This
week they wrote reflections and
learned about the Highway of
Heroes. They are also continuing to
practise writing main ideas.
In art the Grade 7/8 class is
working on drawing gourds. They
are trying to draw them by looking
at the gourd and not looking at the
paper. This is called blind contour
drawing. In math they are studying
data management. In geography
they are making brochures,
highlighting political, social,
economic and physical aspects of a
number of developing nations.
In our class we have a number of
students to be proud of. Kaleb shot
his first deer this Monday, Jenna
shot her first deer this Tuesday. Also
Colton, a fellow newspaper writer,
got a number of ribbons at showing
cattle at the Royal Winter Fair.
Congratulations to all of them for
their accomplishments.
I’d also like to thank the Blyth
Legion (Branch 420) for joining us
and helping us remember all those
who fought for our freedom. As a
great person once said, “You will
never be forgotten, we pledge to you
today, a hallowed place within our
hearts, is where you’ll always stay.”
Top euchre spots go
to Ritchie, Appleby
There were 11 tables of euchre
players at the Londesborough
Community Hall on Friday, Nov. 9
hosted by the Happy Gang Seniors.
Winners were: first, Lillian Appleby
and Mae Ritchie, 89; second, Ethel
and Lorna Ellis; third, Alex
Townsend and Stu Wilson; lone

Pollard, six.
The seniors will host their next

when hopefully the weather will not
be a factor.

Kindergarten registration for Sept.
2013 happens on Monday, Nov. 19.
Children who will be three years of
age by Dec. 31, 2012 are eligible for
Kindergarten in 2013. Registration
will include an early childhood
screening, a chance to talk with staff
and an opportunity for the child to
participate in preschool activities.
The character attribute receiving
attention at Hullett Central Public
School in November is ‘courage’ –
facing the challenge. As this is the
month we remember those who had
the courage to fight for our freedom,
the pupils have some great examples
to emulate.
Hullett Central held its annual
Remembrance Day Service in the
school auditorium on Friday, Nov. 9.
The children were reminded at the
start of the service to conduct
themselves appropriately for the
occasion and they did, showing
respect and quietness.
Members of the Blyth Legion and
their colour party were guests of the
school that morning adding a touch
of reality for the children. Following
the presentation of the colours by the
Legion, two representatives from
each class laid the class wreaths
along the stage.
Members of the Grade 7/8 class
read the poem by John McCrae, “In
Flanders Fields”. Holding
silhouettes of soldiers’ heads with
helmets, the Grade 2/3 class recited
the poem, “What a Soldier Means to
Us” – a hero. Grade 1/2 children
holding large poppies told the
audience that they would remember
with new words to the familiar
hymn, “Can a Little Child Like Me”.
The primary choir conducted by
Mrs. Barnett encouraged everyone
to “Take One Minute to Stand (and
remember)”.
Remembrance Day poems were
read by pupils from the Grade 5/6
class and the Grade 3 room. The
Grade 3 children held posters they
had drawn and coloured. Seven girls,
vocal pupils of Barb Bosman, in
song, asked the question, “What Can
I (a child) Do?” The answer they
gave was, I can give love.
Reading their own Remembrance
Day reflections, three students from
Grade 7 reflected that they owe their
lives today to those who fought.
They felt everyone should take one
day every year, Nov. 11 to honour
and remember them. Pupils from
Grades 3/4 and 4/5 were featured in
a power point presentation of
pictures appropriate for the words of
the song, “Let There Be Peace on
Earth”.
At the end of the service, the
pupils filed quietly from the
auditorium pinning their poppies on
the cross as they did. It would seem
the teachers had talked with their
respective classes about the service
and its background in a manner the
class could comprehend. Hopefully
the ‘remembering’ part of Nov. 11
is recalled at other times of the year
by the pupils and throughout their
lives.
