The Goderich Signal-Star, 1977-04-28, Page 15This past week has been
Education Week and during
that time-paxents have taken
the opportunity to visit
Colborne School classrooms
to see classes in action
throughout the day.
On Thursday evening the
school observed their yearly
Open House and parents and
interested friends started to
gather at the school at 7:30
p.m. to see how their children
were doing in their grades.
All classrooms were in-
teresting to view.
The primary and junior
grades have been taking
advantage of the spring
weather as was evident by the
displays in classrooms in the
form of kites, umbrellas and
flowers. Also in the primary
classrooms there were
special welcomes to mother
and father expressed in the
children's art work.
The intermediate and
senior hall walls were
papered with posters in
French and made an in-
teresting addition to the
corridors. Grade 6 pupils
have been using a reading
machine which was
demonstrated during the
evening.
New to our school and
demonstrated in the library is
a video tape machine. This
allows programs of
educational value to be taped
and then teachers may use
these as they fit into their
programs.
Mr. Gary Fisher, a student
from teacher's college, is
spending two weeks ob-
serving and assisting in
teaching in grade 8 with Mr.
Snell's class.
Some time was allowed
parents and friends to view
the rooms and talk with
teachers. Other interested
parents and friends,
assembled ` in the gym or
auditorium for the en-
tertainment of the evening
which certainly was out-
standing.
Mr. John Kane, principal of
the school, acted as chairman
welcoming all and thanking
pupils, parents and teachers
for their interest and pride in
Colborne School.
There were students from
different grades giving an.
outstanding gymnastics
display which was supervised
by the,teacher, Mr. Harman.
Another form of special
entertainment was a musical
interlude presented by a
group of students from
grades 5 to 8. The singing was
accompanied by groups of
students playing guitars,
recorders and ukeleles all
under the direction of teacher
Mr. Snell. The harmony in the
numbers was very pleasing
and exceptionally well done.
All seemed to -have a part to
play .in the evening's per-
formance and Grade 6 pupils
acted as hosts and hostesses,
directing visitors to the
iti ooms and taking the
responsibility of serving the
delicious lunch which was
prepared by Mrs. Kane,
assisted by several of the
teachers.
The Open House evening
showed various forms of
education such as learning in
the classrooms, gymnastics,
music and public presen-
tation, serving the public as
friendly hosts and hostesses.
A word of thank& is due the
teachers for their interest in
the pupils.
The students of Grades 7
and 8 are looking forward to
attending a Huron County
