The Lucknow Sentinel, 1987-06-24, Page 16LCPS students welcome By Tusha Newhook and Tammie Bolte Summer is almost here and the students at LCPS are having a great time winding up the year. Kindergarten What a wonderful time the kindergarten class had on their trip with the grade one class to the London Children's Museum. They had an inside look at the life of the In- uits and had a chance to try their toys and tools. They also saw what the life of a child long ago was like. They were able to dress up, go to school and enjoy working at the general store and train station. Monday is play day so they get to come to school all day. Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. kindergarten graduation exercises will take place. Grade 1 They have been busy finishing Fall Fair work this week. They made pioneer stories from the things we learned at the museum in London. Friday they watched a movie about a wilderness family. Grade 2 Grade 2's had more interesting visitors to their classroom this week to speak to them about Community Helpers. We would like to thank Mrs. Gibbons, Mrs. Redford, Mrs. Jones, Mr. Oustin and and Mr. Passmore for sharing information with us regarding their jobs. They all did excellent presentations. Some very impor- tant points were stressed throughout their discussions. They were: liking your job is very important, being responsible on the job is necessary, each job has a service to give to a community, everyone must work together to do the best job possible. Grade 2 visited the following downtown businesses as part of a unit on community affairs: dentist, church, Montgomery's Garage, bank, florist, bakery, post office, fire hall and Super Scoop. Lucas Thacker and George Carter received news that their story and poem was printed in the book entitled "Poetry and Prose from Bruce County Schools." Lucas' story and George's poem ,was picked out of several entries from across the county. They received a copy of the book from the board of education. Grade 3 Grade 3 was delighted to have Mrs. Mowbray whose family has been living in Africa. She showed slides, answered ques- tion and brought many articles from Africa in to show us. We are happy to welcome Carolyn Schuit from Walkerton to our school. Grade 4 The grade 4 class enjoyed their trip to the Bruce County Museum in Southamp- ton. They met their penpals. The class saw four exhibits: the log schoolhouse, the general store, an industry and trade display. The log house was originally from the Kinloss area. They were able to barter, have an old-fashioned spelling bee and tried shingling, needlepoint and log sewing. They have also been busy working at measurement centres and independent bird research. Drama The drama club held their final meeting this week, assessing the year's work. They enjoyed their activities very much and finished the year with a union - management role playing activity. Mrs. Broad enjoyed working with the club im- mensely and thanks them for their cooperation. Grade 5 The grade 5 class is happy now that school is out. This week with Mr. Bennett they have been working on fall fair work and percentages. Grade 6 The grade six class is going swimming at the Lucknow pool on Tuesday and Wednesday. They are also finishing up their exams for the year. Grade 8 The grade 8 class has returned from their trip to Ottawa. Two members of the class, Jill Campbell and Cailin Clarke, were chosen to compete in the County French contest. However, since the con- test was held while the girls were away, they were unable to attend. Library Library lotto winners this week were Colleen Knoor, Jackie Murray, Kerri Skillen and Vanessa Breckles. Family studies The family studies students are finishing up the year with delicious home-cooked- LCPS f �. f h....r�lf•.•• ?ii meals.
