The Citizen, 1997-03-05, Page 15THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 5,1997 PAGE 15. Students see and feel The Early Years students al Walton P.S. worked on the sense of sight and touch this week. They tried drawing pictures with blindfolds on and they experienced the sensory table that was filled with soya beans. The students learned that it was easier to spill beans than to sweep them up. The letter R was the letter of the week and they painted rabbit shapes by using rolling marbles and paint. Monday marks the day for the Grade Is to move to the gym so that their room can be painted. They are studying sound and using a tuning fork; they hit them against different objects to hear the vibrations that they make. There was a great response from people telling about their family heritage (Heritage Day was Feb. 17). An old marble that belonged to a great-great-grandparent was brought in by a student. One student brought in a vest made of the family tartan. There were wooden shoes, and many pictures of great-grandparents. Corrinna Stephenson was supply teacher for Mrs. Vivian on Friday, she told me that the students are starting to learn about fractions now and they are continuing their unit on magnets. They played February Bingo using all their spelling words of the past month and Jimmy Raithby came in first with Laura Elligsen, second and Andy Pethick, third. Shayne Cochrane went 'all around the world' in the math addition game. Corrinna said she enjoyed her day with lhe class. She also had a lot of fun with the Early Years students as she worked with them in gym. They delighted in telling her their names and were excited about having a supply teacher. The Grade 3/4 class had a supply teacher as well. The class welcomed Mary Eisler from St. Colombian. Carrying on lhe work of writing and reading mysteries they had to play detective and come up with some clues as to what was in the two wrapped boxes she showed them. She was amazed at the very good questions they asked. She could only answer yes and no and they managed to guess the ruler that was in the small box. The other box had them stumped. No one could guess the brush that was in the other box. Then to decorate their bulletin board they had to brainstorm some words associated with mysteries and then make them up using bubble letters and bright colours.

Murray invited the young worshippers forward and asked them if any of them had any rules at their homes? He told them that rules are important and he thus proceeded to read the 10 commandments that are God's rules for people, that teach them how to live with each other, and not hurt each other.
