A WALK TO THE BUSH
by Kristy Caldwell
On April 19 the Grade one’s
along with Grade eight students
and their teacher Mrs. Battye
went to the Blyth Creek to see two
geese, a mother and father. The
mother goose was sitting on four
eggs. It was a big nest. The nest is
beside the old railroad tracks. The
father was bigger than the mother.
It was a long, hot walk but it was
fun. They also saw a rabbit and a
snake. They would like to go again
“but take a hundred drinks’’ said
Bonnie Stewart and Sabine
Schroecker.

Space Exposed Experiment
Developed for Students. NASA
invited teachers to apply for pack
ets of tomato seeds which had been
left in space for six years. Mrs.
Little and Mrs. Hencher each
received a packet of seeds and
organized an experiment.
On Tuesday, April 25, the grades
3 and 7 paired up for the exper
iment using the tomato seeds from
outer space. They are comparing
them with regular tomato seeds.
The students planted both kinds of
seeds under the same conditions.
The grades have to measure the
amount of growth each week. The
students from grades 5 and 2 are
doing this as well. Thanks to: The
grade 7, 5, 3, and 2 teachers for
