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.

People mark birthdays
Stevensons greet at Duff’s
Ron and Nicole Stevenson were
greeters at Duffs United Church on
March 2. After the Call to Worship
and the singing of the Introit, Rev.
James Murray inspired by lhe
thoughts of spring, recited a poem
that he had written. He then
announced that Bible Study will
continue at the manse on
Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
UCW will meet on Wednesday'
March 5 at 1:15. The roll call will
be 'What are you doing for Lent?'
Everyone is invited to attend the
World Day of Prayer that is being
hosted at Duffs United Church on
Friday, March 7. The program this
year is from Korea, and the guest
speaker will be Rev. Murray. The

Phyllis Mitchell and Glenda Carter.
There will be things for the
children to do downstairs and a
lunch will be served afterwards.
Sarah McDonald came forward
to read the Gospel lesson, John 2:
13-22. Then Rev. 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.
His sermon was called, 'Which
rules would I follow?'
