Cougar Col YM'.g•.s -'z•,: Kindergarten We would like to welcome everyone back to school in the New Year 1987! With the cold wintery days of winter we have been doing some snow ac- tivities. What a shock for our two new students from New Jersey and California! We even planned a party for the birds with peanut butter, sunflower seeds and cherries. Thanks to our grade five and six reading buddies. We were able to do our Hickory Dickory Dock booklets. Grades 1 and 9 We are back to school participating in our regular studies after the Christmas holidays. Everyone was eager to get hack to school to see their friends. We welcome our new student Kourtney Gamble from California. Room two presented the winte 'assembly on January 26 with songs and readings about snow. Also this month we are recording the weather on our calendar so we will be able to count the number of sunny and snowy days we had in the month of January. Grades :1 and 1 In our classroom of grades 3 and 4 We have been making paper bag and paper plate puppets. After making Them, we put, on plays for the kindergarten class. In social studies, we have been stu- dying its. In art e're drawing and studyu,r, polar bea. s. Energy week has started and we are drawing posters. Grades Welcome back to aliew year; 1987. Everyone in our class has started the new year discussing how they could improve their work responsibilities. ,.depends upon persistence an. effort. January is the month for us to prepare speeches. Mr. Weido has outlined all the important steps regar- ding the writing of speeches and we all try to follow them. There will be quite a variety of topics. We have had an excellent film on energy. 'Dudley the Dragon' em- phasized that we should not waste energy. Environment week was based on energy conservation. Bill Allan talk- ed to us about basic energy sources, renewable energy and nuclear basics. To end our conservation program grades 5 to 8 on February 3 travelled to the Bruce Nuclear Power Develop- ment. What an exciting trip! Grades 7 and 8 Every year we write speeches. When we have speeches we go up to the front of the room and talk about a topic. The purpose of speeches is to teach us how to speak in front of a crowd. We learn a lot about how to research and speak. When we make a speech it has to be about three to five minutes long or we lose marks. We always enjoy saying our speeches in front of the class. Also some of us -go to the gym to speak in front of our school. Some of us would like to compete in Mensal!. On January 23 we had a big storm, so everybody got a day off from school and work. This winter has been good to us so far with a fair amount of snow, good weather. and a snow storm. • On the day of the storm. most peo- ple stayed at homw and watched T.V. or slept. But not the active people. they went sledding or skating. We students hope there are many more storm days to come. In history class. we are learning about native people of , North America. We started this section by viewing filmstrips on native people. We are writing1book reports for every book we read on native people. Following book reports. we are sure that a project will come. We will also be studying the different Indian tribes. It\ the time this is over. we are sure Zurich Public School that we will have a headache. This week the grade eight class has been talking about high school. On Thursday, February 5, the grade eight class will get a tour of the high school and get to meet all of their teachers they will have. They will also discuss the courses they will take. Last week room eight did posters to explain the hazards of smoking for non-smokers week. We also did poems. The poems were so good I would like to share one with you. Ick, Ick, Smoking is sick Smoke in the nose, - Smoke in the mouth. Golly, Gosh, Gee, Smoking is gross."" On Wednesday, January 28, we had red and white day. I would say almost everyone wore red and white whether it wag socks, -pants or a shirt, they r made sur_c�(hey wore red and white. We picked red and white because they are -our school colours, and to get everybody back in (he school spirit. It sure worked on one young fellow in grade eight. He wore red and white and even painted his face white with the school symbol in red. Our prin- cipal was also in the school spirit. He was wearing white pants a red and white Zurich Cougars shirt, red and white shoes, white socks and red stir- rups. Actually it was a baseball uniform but it was good. I'm sure everyone had a good time and a few laughs. Last week was Energy and Technology Week at Zurich Public School. Our class has started to watch a series of videos on retreiving oil, which I think are quite informative. We have also started a mile long spelling list that will eventually spread to about eighteen pages of words based only on Energy.- We will also be writing stories on the same topic. It has been a fun and infor- mative week. Some people from grades seven and eight went to St. Boniface to compete in a basketball free-throw contest. Those who went are 12 -year old boys, Jason Schilbe and David Kirk. Julie Crown is the only 12 -year old girl competing. The 13 -year old boys are Craig Redick, Justin Scott and Jay Hitchcock. The only thirteen -year old ,girl is Heather Consitt. The winners of the competition will travel to com- pete in Exeter at the high school with other schools. a O&E GG DP JS PP S RD P AO T&C HG BB HA fIs IIT tlitzt .,� Lit Yy..
