"Storm
day booklets" help students despite
By Becky McNall
The week ended on a stormy note at
LCPS. Last Friday, weather conditions
caused the cancellation of buses and the
closure of the school. The students were
very glad that the teachers worked hard
last month to prepare "storm 'day.
booklets". As a result, the students were
able to work on activities to help their
skills even though they were not in school.
Kindergarten
The kindergarten children have enjoyed
playing out in the 'snow this past week.
Sledding down the hill is great fun! !
They have been busy learning to count to
100 and many of them are already in the
100 counting club. They also made a big
book together and they each made a
Winter Word Book and shared them with
other grades.
Grade 1
January has been a busy time with snow
experiements and activities. Grade 1 is
planning a snow party for next week and
the class is writing invitations to
Kindergarten, Grade 2 and Grade 3. The
"Special Me" for January were Tomrny
Symes, Christina Kuntz, Ean Moffat and
Jeff Rumble.
Grade 2
The Grade 2 studednts have finished off
their Mercer Mayor unit with a sharing
day. They read their books that they made
to each other, made Critter Cookies and in-
troduced their Paper Critters to their
classmates. A BIG thank -you to Mrs.
Macintyre for all her help.
The Grade 2 sandbox is in full operation
and everyone is having fun with their sand
activities.
Grade 3
Grade 3 has been studying the provinces
and capitals of Canada. They, viewed two
great films called Helicopter Canada and
Here is Canada.
They are very enthusiastic about their
public speeches-. Many have chosen a topic
and have started to collect information to
write their speech. They are also thinking
up some great topics to do for their Science
Projects. the Science Fair is scheduled for.
April 2.
Grade 4
The Grade 4 pupils - were very disap-
pointed " that their snowshoeing trip to
Mali's farm was cancelled on Friday, but
they went snowshoeing on Monday around
the school instead and had just as much
fun. They also wrote letters to England
pretending they were pioneers.
Grade 5
Math class finds the Grade 5's involved
in short division. Some problems persist,
but they are working them out. In En-
vironmental Studies, they are just about
ready to wrap up their study of the road
mAla.
so, Grade 5 students are absorbed' in
both speech writing and science fair pro-
jects. Their Thursday snowshoeing event
was lots of fun. They saw different animal
tracks and signs of animals. By the time
they got back to school they were tired out
but had really enjoyed their outing.
The following are stories written by
Grade 6 students:
Snowshoeing
By Tanya Sutherland
. Before we went into the woods, we had to
spend a couple of lessons on knowing how
to use a compass.
When Mr. Richard got to the bus he
showed us how to harness up a snowshoe.
then, we weht of the front of the school for
a practise run. When we got into the
school, Mr. Burkhart had our groups
ready. '
Then we went to Mali's. We each go our
own little routes to go with our groups. I
thought it was really fun and I'd like to go
back again.
The First Live Concert
By Tammie Bolte
"Lesson One Number One" were the
first and last words I wanted to hear. I was
excited but nervous. In a way, I wanted to
sneak out of there before anybody could
see me, but I wasn't about to become a
chicken. I knew almost everybody was
nervous, so I began to feel better.
But, then it happened.
The gym was filling up with students!
My nervous feeling came back. All I could
think of was, what if I goofed up? My
brother Bruce didn't help -any by chuckling
at me when his class came in to listen.
First, the Lucknow Brass ° played 0
Canada. Then, a few other people played.
Then it was our turn.
We played great! I never even goofed up
once. I never played Hymn Tune better. I
never wanted to stop playing. but
everything has to come to an end. I'm pro-
ud of myself and everybody else that
played. Coneratulations on a job well done.
Mr. Cayley did a great job teaching us. I
know he's proud, too.
Playing for a Live Audience
By Joel Sutton
On Tuesday, January at 9 a.m. the
Grade 6 class at LCPS played seven short
songs in front of an audience including
Yankee Doodle, The Rocking Chair, Merry
Go Round, Hymn Tune and three others.
They were GREAT! !
That same afternoon they travelled to
Mali's farm for a snowshoeing trip through
the bush. They split up in six groups of
four, and each group carried a sack with a
couple of compasses, measuring tape, an
activity board, a map, and a set of degree
directions and clip board.
We all met half -way through the
journey, had a snack, then headed back to
the bus. On their way back, Joel Sutton and
Steve Porter got lost, but they eventually
made it.
That's all from nie, folks.
Grade 7
This week the 'Grade 7 class enjoyed a
cold but nice day snowshoeing at Mali's
farm. They found That snowshoeing, as the
pioneers did, was not an easy job. They all
returned exhausted.
Next week, the Family Studies neonle

will be taking Family Studies. They are all
preparing for speeches which are coming
up fast!
Grade 8
The Grade.8 students found a presenta-
tion dealing with education very infor-
mative. Mr. Marshall, principal of the
Wlakerton and District Secondary School,
emphasized the importance of education
as well as the effect that careful planning
can have on a person's future.
"Time Management" is a skill that the
class is having an opportunity to develop
this term. Speeches, Science Fair projects
and tests are all strategically scheduled to
be completed in the next four weeks.
Students are finding that "if" they use
class time wisely most work can be com-
pleted, but if not, a lot of homework and
late projects result. Good luck, y'all! !
