They saw a video on all the steps of building a house. They were very interested in the houses of the future. It's amazing what recycled plastics will be used for in homes, such as fire resistant roofing. Already there are windows that cloud over on their own to protect from the cold. The students can't wait to be the future engineers and designers of these products. GRADE 8 This week is very busy, with all the classes practising for the Christmas concert. Also this week the Grade 8 class is having a court dance. The president of the students' council will pull a ballot out of a box, choosing a Queen and King from Grade 8, a Prince and Princess from Grade 7, and a Duke and Duchess from Grade 6. These three couples will skate around the rink together when students go skating Friday. They had guidance counsellors from the local high schools speak to the Grade 8 class about the Transition Years and about experiences in Grade 9. Former students Ronnie Abel-Rinn and Shawna Walker shared personal experiences of Grade 9 with those planning on attending CHSS. FRENCH AND ART All French classes in the junior grades have been practising a French Canadian Christmas medley called "Ziguedon" for the concert. Cappy Onn is playing her violin as well. The Grade 2 classes are completing a unit on "les dinosaurs". They've also learned some food words and can tell time by the hour in French. Grade 1 has started a Christmas unit. They will be learning the names of some toys and of Santa's clothing. Grades 3 and 4 have also begun a unit on winter activities. In Art, the Grade 8's have worked very hard at painting decorations and backdrops for the concert next week. Their oversized paper dolls add a colourful, international touch to the gymnasium. GRADE 4/5 The class is very excited about a class trip to Goderich on Dec. 17. They're experiencing a Victorian Christmas. They'll celebrate Christmas as a group in a heritage setting, then later go bowling at Little Bowl in Goderich. They're learning to score during class and we'll use computerized scoring the day they bowl. They can't wait! O U 00 p c, 0 0 • O O * .
