Madill students do well in provincial writing test
F.E. Madill Secondary School
has received excellent results for
136 Grade 12 students who took
part in a province-wide writing
skills test.
Local results contrasted sharply
with the provincial results, released
to the Toronto media last week, of
the test of 24,000 Grade 12

It has been a rather busy week in
Brussels Public School. Mrs.
Uhler's Grade 4/5 class visited
CKNX in Wingham. Students,
Lance McLellan and Lesley Pepper
said they were on air at the radio
station and that they saw the TV
station too.
Again this year BPS will be
collecting gifts for the Salvation
Army in Wingham. Unwrapped
gifts of clothing, good used or new
toys and canned goods would be
very much appreciated. Please have
them brought to the school by
Wednesday, Dec. 15.
Grades 5 to 8 are preparing a
Christmas program for parents and
friends to be held on Wednesday,
Dec. 15 at 7:30 p.m.
Last week, during parent/teacher
conferences parents were asked
their opinions concerning the
snowball policy. The response was
split almost evenly, 36-29 on the
choices of a snowball policy and a
restricted snowball area,
respectively. Several parents
expressed concerns of safety, a few
raised the very significant point
that snowballing is incongruent
with non-aggression and zero
tolerance to violence thrusts that
are current within the education
system. Thus, it was felt that snow,
like stones, sand and mud, should
stay on the ground except for
students.
Ninety-one per cent of Madill's
advanced level Grade 12's
produced pieces of writing at or
above Level 4, the minimum
acceptable of six levels set for the
test. This compares with a
provincial average of 64 per cent,
and the Toronto average of 53 per
making snow sculptures.
Many children are enjoying
sliding on the fresh snow. Snow
carpets are the safest transportation
mode. The crowded conditions
make snowboard, snow cruisers
and other heavy duty vehicles too
hazardous.
A valuable ring was found by a
Grade 2 student in a grocery bag
that was sent to the school. If it
belongs to you or someone you
know please contact the school.
Please put your child's name on
snow boots, mitts and winter
clothing. It will help to return items
to the owner and cause less
confusion with the many snow
boots that are the same.

On Dec. 7 Brussels Public
School was visited by Mrs. Sonia
Sanyo-Parlee, the lung lady. she
visited Grades 2, 4, 6 and 8 talking
about the way the lungs work, what
different parts of the lungs are
called, and about the effects of
smoking. She showed the Grade 8
class a lung of a smoker that some
of the students thought was
disgusting. Those students will
probably never smoke because of
it.
Mrs. Barnes, the area resource
teacher, is transferring to Tumberry
School to teach Kindergarten. The
new resource teacher will be Mrs.
Jill Johnson.
In science, the Grades 6, 7, and
cent.
At the general level, 90 per cent
of Madill's students wrote at or
above their minimum standard,
Level 3, compared to a provincial
average of 76 per cent.
The writing assessment was
conducted over a two week period
in the 1991-92 school year, and
8s are studying germs and bacteria.
They are collecting bacteria from
things such as door knobs and
people's hands to see if they can
grow a bacteria colony. They found
that there arc bacteria everywhere.
One of the largest colonies was
from the hands of someone who
had been handling lots of money.
The Christmas concert is on Dec.
15. Grades 5-8 are putting on the
concert called "The Choir Boy
Who Couldn't Sing." They are
going to be songs performed by the
school's concert band and school
choir.
The school is really getting in the
Christmas spirit this year by
decorating the school with lots of
Christmas art. Mr. Wanless's 6/7
class made stained glass windows;
Mrs. Perries' Grade 8 class made
Christmas pop-up books; Mrs.
Tedesco's Grade 1 class made
Santa Claus calendars, reindeer, a
Christmas tree, and a wreath. Mrs.
Clark's class also made reindeer.
From the staff and students at
Brussels Public "Season's
Greetings".
"People who want information
about road and weather conditions
should call MTO. When they call
our number, it ties up emergency
lines and makes it harder for us to
respond to calls for help." — Terry
Bace, Ontario Provincial Police.
was designed to measure students'
abilities to develop ideas, organize
thoughts, apply conventions of
language (grammar, spelling,
punctuation), and use specific
writing techniques. The evaluation
system, based on a six level scale,
was devised by a pool of 20
educators, parents, and business
and labour representatives from
across the province.
Twenty-two (22) per cent of the
advanced Madill students wrote at
the top level, Level 6, compared to
seven per cent provincially, and 40
per cent wrote at Level 5,
compared to 24 per cent
provincially.
While the results in urban
schools were affected by the large
numbers of students for whom
English is a second language, the
results locally arc encouraging for
students, parents and teachers, all
of whom play a role in valuing and
developing writing skills.
F. E. Madill Secondary School
was the only Huron County
secondary school selected for
participation in the /sample of
province-wide writing skills test for
Grade 12 students.
