The Brussels Post, 1975-05-21, Page 6reached the huge city of Toronto
at about 10:00.
We toured the magnificent
Science Centre and found many
wonderful, scientific machines.
After our nourishing lunch,
which wasn't as cold as when we
left home, we went to a paper-
making demonstration and we
were taught how to make paper in
our own homes.
After we absorbed all we
possibly could in the few hours we
had at the Science Centre we
started off to Black Creek Pioneer
Village.
Actually the Village didn't look
very interesting from the outside
but it was a different situation
when we reached the gate at the
edge of the Village... We started
off at a brisk walk to explore how
people lived many years ago.
It wasn't long till an elderly
man of sixty-five or seventy came
along with two beautiful black
horses hitched up to a wagon. He
asked us if we would like a ride
and we graciously accepted the
offer.
He let us off at the Half-Way
House which was a place where
travellers stayed.
We found many interesting
pieces of furniture which had
been used in the early pioneer
years. Elderly ladies explained
many things of which we saw.
We decided we had better keep
going in order to see the many
other places there were yet to see.
We visited the miller's home
and were given a piece of spice
cake that had been made that day
in an oven over the fire.
The printing press also added a
great deal to my knowledge of
newspapers in those days.
Going to the barn in those days
I'm sure wasn't a very big thrill.
You would have to flail the wheat
to- get grain and then grind the
grain to get flour for bread or any
kind of baking. The man in the
barn showed us how to, flail the
wheat and how to grind the grain.
These were just a few of the
places we visited and there were
many other places I didn't see.
I wished-we could have stayed
longer since the people were so
friendly and willing to answer our
questions.
We then left the land of pioneer
living and started for home.
We stopped at McDonalds for
supper and everyone had ham.

1 Today was an exciting outing
for grade 7 of Brussels Public
I School.
We had been planning an
excursion for quite some time
At 10:30 we got on the bus to go
to the circus.We took our lunch.
We were happy and excited. Mr.
Scott and Mr. Mann drove the
buses. We had to eat our lunch on
' the bus. When we got off the bus
we lined up and Mr. Scott led us
to our seats. Mrs. V,alder and
Miss Mitchell watched that no
one got lost. There were a lot of
children. There was a lot of noise.
We saw funny clowns throwing
pies. One clown was fired out of
the cannon. We saw men walking
the tight rope. We saw elephants
doing tricks. The dogs did tricks.
One clown lost his pants. The
tigers and lions were inside a big
cage. They jumped from stool to
stool, jumped through a fiery
hoop and stood up on their hind
feet.We saw some people
jumping on and off horses.
There was a man rode a
motorcycle on a tight rope. We
saw acrobats and jugglers. We
saw a man swallow fire.
• We had a treat of popsycles and
ice cream. We got on the bus.
One of the Grade 3 boys
wandered but Mr. Scott got him.
Some people sang on the bus.
Some people blew horns. Some
tired children slept.It was a happy
Inside Howick Central
Constable Wray's Visit
Constable Wray, from the
Goderich Detachment of the
O.P.P., visited us on May 12, 13
and 14. He showed us pictures of
the bicycle safety and we had to
guess the safety rule. After, his
presentation, questions were
asked. I am sure everyone
enjoyed Constable Wray's visit.

Grade Two Goes to the Circus
Monday, May 5th, was a big
day for Mrs. Huether's Grade 2
class. Soon after the children
arrived at school they boarded the
bus and were soon on their way to
the Gardens in. London to see the
"Garden Brothers Three-Ring
Circus". Upon arrival, the excited
children found their seats and
were ready for the show to
start.They saw lions, tigers,
elephants,' and horses perform.
They saw dogs dressed up
playing basketball with balloons.
They saw several tight rope acts
including a motorcycle ride. They
also saw a man eat fire and jump
through swords that were on fire.
I think most of the children liked
the clowns the best. One clown
was in a cannon and when it went
off his clothes came out and he
stayed' in. Later he came out and
took after another clown with a
bat as he was blaming him for all
his problems. There were many
other-clown acts that were lots of
laughs. It was a very exciting day
and the children thoroughly
enjoyed the show. After the show,
the children boarded the bus and
arrived in Brussels tired but
happy.

and will be returning Thursday.
We are all looking forward to it,
and I am sure it will be quite
enjoyable.
