Walton kindergartens study the letter Q
The kindergarten class worked on
the letter Q this week. They learned
that the letter u always follows the
letter Q. They sang Six Little Ducks
then quacked like ducks.
They also got to work on an ICON
computer program called Learn to
Count.
The Grade l/2s used elements of
design such as colour, line, shape,
form, space and texture to create
spring pictures with oil pastels.
The Grade is have completed their
exploration of what 100 looks like.
They have created construction
using 100 objects. Some used
buttons, straws, toothpicks, beans
and pasta.
The Grade 4s finished up their
Easter rabbit parade activity
booklets this week. They created a
tall tale about a jellybean super hero.
They had to make up new jellybean
flavours such as maple syrup
flavour, tropical, candy apple,
blueberry pancake, kiwi and Mr.
Noodle.

D. McCallum greets at Duffs
Dianne McCallum greeted
worshippers at Duff’s United
Church on April 30. Margaret
Engeland from Stratford was the
guest speaker. She welcomed Reita
Wheeler and Charlene W’heeler,
mother and sister-in-law to Patty
Banks. They are visiting from
Vanderhoof, BC.
Next Sunday’s guest speaker will
be W. Robert Peebles from Exeter.
She called the children forward
and talked about picking stones and
how every spring the stones just
seem to keep coming back. She
picked a few to bring to church. She
said that people can have stones in
their hearts and that they need to get
rid of those stones and that it can be
a continuous job as they seem to
keep coming back.
She took out one stone and said
that maybe this stone can represent a
little lie that people have told,
Good turnout
to luncheon
another stone could be about
something they may have taken that
wasn’t theirs. Or one with cracks in
it can represent how people may
have put down someone and hurt
their feelings, etc.
“God wants us,” she said, “to take
the stones out so that there will be
more room in our hearts for him.”
Her sermon was called, We are the
Light of the World.

PEOPLE AROUND
WALTON
A great adventure was had by
members of the Sills family visiting
at the home of Jeff and Tracey
McKee (Achilles farm) on Sunday.
While back at the bush near the
pond, they found a small calf.
Deciding it was probably neighbour
Jim Shortreed’s they tried to catch it
to take it back. Of course it had other
ideas and off it went. Across the
fields and the creek it headed north,
with three young men after it.
Not wanting anything to do with
humans it didn’t co-operate and slow
down.
When JoAnn McDonald saw them
going across the field she decided
she should help and with the truck,
hoped she would cut it off before it
went on the highway. It managed to
cross the eighth line and the boys
caught up with it, but not before it
did cross the highway, lucky not to
be hit.
The boys loaded the calf in the
truck and off they went to
Shortreeds. Sure enough, it was
Jim’s calf and the mother cow was
right there to greet them.
The boys were exhausted from
their trek across the field and from
holding the calf but for them it had
been a great adventure.
Delores Howatt and Hazel Reid
took home the first place prize at last
week’s euchre games at the Walton
Hall. Ten tables were played with Lil
and Lloyd Appleby winning second
prize and Howard Hackwell and
Don Nolan taking the third place
prize.
There are only two more euchre
nights left so make sure you get on
out to play.
