Students begin countdown
GRADE THREE/FOUR
Students are busy preparing for
their parts in the Christmas concert.
Christmas countdown has begun
and the days are going by very
quickly, at least for some.
Everyone has begun writing
Christmas stories and also have
enjoyed making sun-catchers using
candy cane, star and bell patterns.
In math, the grade threes are
learning about picto and bar graphs,
while the grade fours are working
with lines, line segments and
angles.
The skeleton study is just about
completed. Did you know that you
have three different kinds of joints
in your body and did you know that
the knobby parts of your ankle are
not ankle bones but are the lower
ends of your leg bones?
LIBRARY
The students in grade one have
been busy publishing their books,
listening to stories about bears, and
creating bear puppets. They can
hardly wait until their Teddy Bear
Picnic, which will be held on Dec.
7.
The Icons are never idle, as
grades three, three/four, and
four/five use the Type Away
program to develop their
keyboarding skills.
Each week the kindergarten class
has been choosing an animal to
research on the C-D Rom. They
have become quite interested in
hearing the different animal
sounds.
SPECIAL EVENTS
Last week, the school received
the information to start a “Learners
in Action” program. Whenever a
classroom completes an environ
mental project, a sheet is filled out
describing the Environmental
Action Project, signed by the
students involved, turned into the
office for Mr. Scott to record the
number of the project, and place in
the Log Book in the library.
Munsch-mania
returns to
The Grand
A CHRISTMAS BEGINNING
AT BRUSSELS PUBLIC
SCHOOL
Last week the grade seven/eight
students from Mr. Wanless’s class
helped Mr. Teall's grade three/four
write a letter to Santa Claus. They
wrote letters on things that would
change the world like not burning
down the rain forest. They also
wished that nobody would starve
again.
GIFTS FOR SALVATION
ARMY
Again this year students will be
collecting gifts for the Salvation
Army in Wingham. Unwrapped
buttons, egg cartons, yam, felt, and
material turning them into
wonderful works of art; grade one
cleaned all the litter from the
playground to help keep it looking
belter.
All the classes are involved in
writing the newspaper articles on
the computer to save paper and to
inform parents and the community
of their concern for the
environment.
They are hoping that before the
end of the year they will receive
their green banner to display in the
school showing they have
completed 100 different projects to
Reduce, Recycle, Reuse and
Refuse.
