This week at Lucknow Central Public
School was another learning, fun -filled
one!
On - Wednesday, the students from
Grades One to Six heard Dr. Zed. We were
the 642nd school or library he has visited.
Each child received a momento before
they said goodbye to Dr. Zed.
The public is invited to attend the Book
Fair which will be held in the school
library on June 7th and 8th. The money
raised at this function will go towards the
sponsoring of yet another author to visit
our school.
Grade 1
Grade One are becoming very observant
bird -watchers and good artists as they
learn all about Bird Friends of Ontario.
They have learned to tell what birds eat
from the kind of beak and feet they have.
The children . are now writing "bird
stories".
Grade One enjoyed reading books to the
kindergarten children. They have all
finished their "Good Work Books" and
earned many stickers.
Grade 1/2
The Grade 1/2 class finished up their
LCPS
study on frogs by having a frog jumping
contest. Mr. F. fooled many members of
the class and won the race. The frogs were
very happy to return to their pond environ-
ment once again.
After reading their Mercer Mayor books
to their friends at Pinecrest, the Grade 1/2
children shared a piece of cake. They
made the cakes to look like the characters
in the books. Thank you to the Family
Studies classes that helped out.
Congratulations to Nicholas Mann and
Ean Moffat for receiving their Reading
Certificates for reading 15 Mercer Mayor
books.
Grade 2/3
The students of Grade 2/3 wish to thank
the Lucknow Horticultural Society for
their invitation to the tea on May 18 and for
the chance to show the people their plants
and terrariums).. The children planted
their geraniums at the Senior Citizens
Apartments.
Chris Colwell, from Grade 8, showed us
his pictures and we talked about his trip to
Australia.
We enjoyed backwards day on Friday by
wearing our clothes backwards, and also
having our, timetable backwards.
Everyone enjoyed Dr. Zed who visited us
on Wednesday.
Grade 3/4
The Grade 3/4 class enjoyed our Fitness
run on Tuesday, m which the students of
Bruce County ran enough kilometers to go
around the world once.
We all had a fun day with Dr. Zed on
Wednesday. Each of us got a momento to
remember Dr. Zed by.
Our class made new cartoon characters
and farm safety posters for the Fall Fair.

Grade 7/8
Grade 7/8 have had a week of serious
work, after one which a number of , our
students were away on the Band Trip.
In Language arts, the Grade 8's are
finishing up their novel "Shani" while
the Grade 7's started a funny new
autobiography called "Cheaper by The
Dozen" All of the Grade 7's agree that they
would not like their lives controlled by
"motion study" as were the children in the
story.
Do the words transormations, reflec-
tions, or rotational symmetry mean
anything to you? These are a few concepts
recently learned in math.
Grade 8
The Grade 8's are enjoying their unit
"That's Life" simulation game. They are
using the daily newspaper to shop for such
things as groceries, tires, cars, pets and
jobs, as well as nouns, adjectives and con-
tractions. Life isn't as easy as they thought
it was!

Crime Stoppers of Grey Bruce are seek-
ing the public's assistance in the investiga-
tion of theft over $1,000, which occurred in
the Kincardine harbour area.
The Kincardine Police Force report that
sometime between May 24th and
September 1 of 1987, a large quantity of
sailboat equipment was stolen. The equip-
ment was stolen from a sailboat which had
been left on a trailer all summer. The boat
and trailer had been for sale, and had been
parked in the Kincardine harbour area.
The stolen equipment included the
following; all of the sails, the boom, a
three head jib, the turnbuckles, the
forestay, and the blocks, etc. It is not
believed that all the equipment was stolen
at once, however stolen over a period of
time. All the equipment stolen may have
been taken by the same culprits, or dif-
ferent ones.
Total value of property stolen is in ex-
cess of $3,400.
The person(s) responsible for this theft
have not been identified.
If you feel you can help in this or any

RDS students
preparing
year book
A group of Grade 8 students of Ripley
District School have been working for the
past month, planning and preparing a year
end book for RDS. The graduating class will
be featured with photos and biographies
written by fellow students. Each class will
have a page; teams and clubs, as well as
special activities will be included.
Christine Collins, Josh Bauman, Corty
Kummer, and Sarah Zdybel are the editing
committee. Brian Campbell and Josh
Bauman have been creating cartoons to il-
lustrate a day in the life of RDS. These
students have used their time well, work
together smoothly as a group and should
produce a fine product.
The year book will contain about seventy
pages, 7" x 8", photocopied and spiral
bound. Orders are now being taken at $4 a
copy. Proceeds will go to the Student Coun-
cil to help finance class trips.
Support this venture and order your copy
today from Christine Collins, Room 101.
