MONTGOMERY MOTORS
LUCKNOW VARIETY & DRY GOODS
McDONAGH INSURANCE
LOPS holds own Winter Olympics
By Bill Cooper
and Bonnie Hallam •
Grade One
Grade One has been working on hearing
vowel sounds. Some of us have our work
pages on Mr. Pike's "Good Work" bulletin
board. We are trying hard to do our best
reading and looking forward to our report
cards on Tuesday.
Everyone had a super time at our
"Olympics" on Thursday. Every team
tried their best.
Grade 1/2
The Grade 1/2 class certainly had fun at
the "Lucknow Winter Games" on Thurs-
day. It was a perfect day for the games.
We are sorry that Darryl McCallum will
be leaving us and moving away. We wish
him the best of luck in his new school.
This week we did some Olympic art
work and continued to talk about the sports
included in the Olympic games.
Grade 2/3
Olympic Sports are TERRIFIC - Grade
2-3 enjoyed all events held in the yard even
though it was cold. What good sports!
We have been busy learning the value of
money. Now we can write it and even add
and subtract using money.
Grade 3/4
The Grade 3/4 class has learned a lot
about the Winter Olympics in Calgary dur-
ing the Environmental Studies classes. We
went through 9 Olympic centres which
dealt with the Olympic events, mascots,
logos and athletes, etc. The class also had
a fun and tiring afternoon during our
"School Winter Olympics" in which the
students competed against other
countries.
Grade 4/5
During the past week we have been stu-
dying sounds and making our own musical
instruments in Environmental Studies.
We completed our Olympic Activities by
competing in different Olympics Events
with other countries. Awards were
presented at theclosing ceremonies.
Grade 6/7
We have been reading Diamantha's
Secret Room in literature. Alesha Moffat
got 1st in public speaking in the
auditorium. Now this Friday she'll be
speaking at the Legion. Good luck Alesha!
Winter Olympics - I like Curling even
though T wasn't any good at it. Mr.
Blurkhart was in charge of this event.
There were 2 chairs set up back to back
and the object of this event was to take a
jug and drag it along the snow and then
release it. If the jug went under the chairs
you would get a point. If you missed you
didn't get a point, simple as that.
Another favorite event was the obstacle
course hosted by Mrs. Campbell. When
Mr. McKeon blew the whistle we would
take turns going zig zags through pylons
and then came to a stop. You picked up a
hockey stick and shot a ball around a
chair, to finish you put back the stick and
ball and sprinted back to the start.

INSIDER
In Mr. Dennis' game, you pulled a sled in
a long oval. Whoever had the most laps at
the .end won.
Grade 5
This week in Grade 5 m,^th we are in-
volved with measurements :.'id we are do-
ing quite well.
In Environmental Studies we are learn-
ing about Birds of Prey. We planted bulbs
too. Tarrin Collwell's bulb is taking the
lead, followed by Jon Hallam's. Every
Wednesday we read to the Grade 1's, it is
great fun! This week our superstar is
"Jason Smith".
Grade 7/8
Our class continued a variety of Olympic
activates during this last week of the Olym-
pics. The one activity that was particular-
ly well done was the writing of myths. The
class learned that myths were used by
various culture. to help explain those
events or happen in s .that they could not
uncle tand. Using this as a starting point,
all L pass members wrote their own version
of a myth to explain a number of
phenomenon such as "Why we have green
grass' and "Why elephants have tusks".
Grade 8
Grade 8 students have been following the
Olympics closely this week, cheering on
the Canadian Athletes. We are involved in
an indepth research project of the sports,
looking at such things as history, records
and training.
The Olympic flame may be extinguished in Calgary now but its spirit was certainly
alive at area schools recently as each took a day to stage their own mini -Olympics.
These young students from Brookside School are shown trying their hand at, believe it
or not, snow curling. Nice shot kids (Pat Livingston photo)
Sure the National Ski Team is good...they don't have to share a ski like these
Brookside School students did recently during their mini -Olympics. The eight man
and woman team needed fine-tuned coordination to complete the run, and even if they
didn't, it didn't really matter for it was all in fun. (Pat Livingston photo)
RDS public speaking
Mrs. Joyce MacPherson, Mrs. Bob Harris
and Rev. Hugh Nugent kindly gave up their
morning on Thursday, Feb. 25 to come and

ners in the Jr. section were Brooke Funston,
Melanie O'Brien, and Rachel Van Rooyen.

sent the school. These six students spoke at
