/ i Waverley Public School News s ^VMaNNS^ / Elmer's Safety Road Show by Jennifer Moser Stop, look and listen were some-of the rules Elmer tried to teach the primary students when he visited Waverley on January 29th. You see Elmer is a safety elephant. The Kindergarten to grade 3 classes watched a safety presentation. It taught them how to cross the street, whereto play etc. There was a lady named Pat and she acted like a small child who was very anxious. Elmer taught her how to cross the street and the proper places to play. The children also got to participate by saying the safety rules and participating in the show. I asked Pat why she had this job. In answering she said, she liked working with kids. If you do something they will respond, and she likes to know that she is helping the children learn about safety. She started six years ago and has travelled all of Ontario. Thanks for coming Elmer and Pat. Parent Volunteers by Tracy Moriarlty and Laura Broadbent Parent volunteers are a big part in making our school what it is. Mrs. Lipop is the head of the Hot Dog committee. She has 24 helpers, some work on primary and some work on junior hot dog days. They start cooking hot dogs just after ten. The Kindergarten classes are served at 11:30 and the other classes start at 11:45 to be served. Mrs. McGregor is a helper in the library. She helps on . Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings. She repairs books, cards them, types and helps with the computer. She enjoys working with the children, meeting teachers and helping Mrs. Anyan, our librarian. Mrs. Cookson is one of the classroom helpers. She works with reading, types and hangs up paintings. One week she works in her daughter's class and the next week she works in her son's class. Next week we will write about more parent volunteers. I Mt* sikkens Superior quality wood coatings engineered to stand up against the -- elements.

The Young Authors Club by Jonathan Epworth The young authors club is a small but co-operative group, that's what Mr. McKelvey likes and he likes to hear the kids ideas. The group started recently and will go on for ten weeks. Their main goals are to improve writing skills and they are trying to write a short novel. The young authors club is held in the library from 8:15 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and there are 12 kids. I asked some of the kids why they joined the club and I got some good answers. One said, "I like to let my imagination go." I am also in the club, and I think it's an O.K. club. Mr. Mills Grade 5-6 Class . by Jason Moore This term the students in Mr. Mills class have been working hard in all subjects. In spelling they are working Ministry W ants View on Licence Executive members of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (O.F.A.H.) are pleased that the Ontario Minister of Natural Resources has decided to seek the opinions of sports fishermen about the proposed Resident Angling Licence. They do, however, point to earlier surveys which clearly indicated overwhelming support for such a licencing Kpnpmp A 1976-77 M.N.R. survey conducted during some 30 separate meetings indicated strong public support as did i twosubsequent-surveys taken by the O.F.A.H. 87 percent of those people questioned at the 1978 Toronto Sportsmen's Show favoured a licence provided that the bulk of the revenue generated was spent on improving Ontario's sagging sports fisheries. Its 1984 mail sprvey of northeastern Ontario anglers showed 76 percent were in favour with the same proviso. While members of the province-wide sportsmen's group agree on the need for the additional monies for such things as regional fish hatcheries, improved enforcement, enforcement, habitat improvement; improvement; fish ladders, and fish ways, they are worried licence fees might eventually be lost in the central treasurey of the Ontario government. In a June 1984 proposal to the Government of Ontario, the Federation suggested that licence fees be placed in a separate trust fund, similar to the Ontario Lottery Corporation, so all of the net licence revenues could be identified and earmarked for fisheries enhancement projects. It even offered to assist with the administration of that fund. The 50,000 member conservation group intends to have representatives at each of the M.N.R. public meetings where the licencing proposal is reviewed so it too can hear what the angling public now wants. with common errors such as patients and patience. It can be very confusing at times! Adding, subtracting, multiplying multiplying and dividing using decimals was taught during the month of January. The introduction to problem solving was made interesting by using catalogues. Mr. Mills is helping the class prepare for public speaking by having each person write short imaginative stories. The class reads their stories out loud to help build their confidence for when they do their final speech. The grade fives are lucky to be studying earth and space, as Voyagers 1 and 2 have been photographing Uranus and other distant planets. This has given the grade fives a greater interest in studying space because of the pictures in the newspapers and the television coverage. Grade sixes are learning about different rocks and minerals. Samples of rocks and minerals are in the room for the sixes to examine. If the weather is good, on Sunday, February 9, the class hopes to meet at Enniskillen Conservation area for an afternoon of skating, tobogganing and cross country skiing with their families.
