The Lucknow Sentinel, 1988-03-09, Page 14Lucknow Sentinel, Wednesday, March 9, 1988—Page 13 Olympic events not as easy as Ahey look The Kindergarten II class enjoyed our afternoon of Winter Olympics. We like the luge and snow bowling the best. We have completed our `All About Me' booklets. We did a graph of our family pets and made cats and dogs from paper plates. Miss Jewitt's Grade 1 class felt mostly proud of the Canadian Olympics. They made us proud to live in Canada. Some people felt tingles in their back when the torch was lit. The bobsled races were ex- citing. We were proud of Canada's hockey team trying their best. Brian Orser and Elizabeth Manley became heroes with their best skating ever. We were very pro- ud of the athletes who won but mostly of the athletes who tried. The Dinosaur Den Olympic Team really liked learning about the Olympics and wat- ching the real thing! We talked about how the athletes were feeling, and how skilled they were. At the "Awesome Olympics" at Brookside we tried some events too! Our luge was fun, but maybe not quite as fast as the real one! We had a torch relay, a biathlon, hockey, and speed skating too! We hope to see a tape of the closing ceremonies for the Calgary Olympics. Sandra Alton was our last "Special Me", and now it's Caley Moore. Grade 2, room 3 students made torn paper picture of the olympic events they entered in the school Olympics. They cut Olympic pictures out of the paper and wrote a story about what they thought was going on. Their stories are going to be made into a big book. Mrs. Ottewell's Gr. 3 made Olympics posters and Olympic booklets. We especially liked the math sheets with Heidi and Howdy on them. We have a new Heidi on our bulletin board and we're starting to learn more about Canada. Happy March Birthday to Keith MacKenzie, Lieasabeth Hartman, Angelique Delbergue and Kelly McNee. Grade 4, room 10 students wish a happy belated birthday to Tanya Maize. A special thanks to Mr. Delbergue for coming to show us his carvings. Today is the ping- pong tournament. Grade 4 predicts that March is going to go out like a lion. This week the P.A. system didn't work for 2 days. Last week three people got into the Fac- tor Facts club from Grade 4. portable 2. BROOKSIDE BROADCAST They were Tammy Upthegrove, Melissa Daer, and Erin Schultz. The school has had an Olympic day. Mr. Culp cut a goalie out of plywood. The whole class painted him for our Olympic day. You had to take a hockey stick and shoot a tennis ball by the goalie into the net. You scored points if you could get it passed the goalie. He is nicknamed the Sieve, and if he gets better in his hockey years we will change his name to the Puckstopper. Grade 5 Portable One worked on Olym- pic Math problems. They also had an Olympic Scavenger Hunt using the Newspaper winners. Tied for the gold medal were Canada's team of Michelle MacGillivary, Craig McNay, Trevor Hoyes, and Robbie Ohm and the U.S.S.R. team of Doug Barger, Patricia Robinson, Heather Alton and Eric Andrew. Two people in our class (Grade 7A) plac- ed second for the ping-pong tournament. They were Terry Livingston and Heather, Jefferson. Our class made it to Wawanosh for the Snow Shoe Shuffle. We had great weather, but we didn't have enough for hot chocolate. Our family studies class has started to sew our initial pill9,ws. The shop class has had mostly demonstrations but hope to start their first project "shortly"! In gym we have started basketball. Room 6 Readers The Olympics -Brookside Style! The funniest moment was the snowshoe race because I tripped with my snowshoes. - Dennis Black. The hardest event was skiing because we could barely lift the long skis off the ground. - Cris Curran. The event I enjoyed the most was the toboggan racing. It was exciting having Shane McDougall pull me around. - Nathan Durnin. The hardest event as the biathalon because you had to run and throw a bean- bag in a bucket at the same time. - Luke Sproul.
