Everybody waited in suspense to see who won first place for the W.P.S. Bike Rodeo which was held Thursday, May 2. All of the students who wished to participate in it from grades 4 - 6 were able to. All participants received a certificate and a sticker. The first place winner was Scott Killingbeck, 2nd place Tom White and third place Jennifer Chambers. Each of them received a bicycle accessory and the first prize winner got his name engraved on a trophy. The trophy was donated donated to the school from Jason Wraight and his family in commemoration of Jason's grandfather and our former crossing guard, known as "Art." The reason for donating donating the plaque was because Art had worked for Waverley as a crossing guard for quite a while and knew the children so well. He also was involved with the safety of people. ... The Bike Rodeo consisted of three parts: written true or false test, a safety check and the riding ability test. ' The Riding" Ability Test consisted of five "different tests. There were 20 questions on the quiz and bonus points for the safety check. Mr. Reid, our Principal, organized the event and Constable Dillon was there to help out. There were many parent volunteers and we would like to thank them for taking their time to help us. Also we'd like to thank the students who made it possible. All of the marks were very high. Keep up the good work Waverley! MR. MARK MOLDOWAN By Diana Moriarity and Natalie Axelson Nervously, the student teacher walked into the room wondering what to expect. There was a lot of chatter among the grade six students, whether or not he was nice or if he'd be teaching them. Mrs. Freeman walked up to the front of the room and introduced introduced Mr. Moldowan, the student teacher, to the class. As time passed he grew less and less nervous. Mr. Moldowan went to Queen's University in Kingston Kingston for two years. He enjoys teaching because it's a challenge and there is a lot of Variety, it's not boring. "I worked at G.M. before and it was boring," he replied. As you can see he prefers working with people, not machines. Mr. Moldowan has been teaching Mrs. Freeman's grade six class and he will be here for one more week. "I like the staff because they are very helpful and friendly" he replied. He also likes the grade six students he is teaching because they have a good sense of humor, and they are well-behaved. The young student teacher also said he would like to teach at W.P.S. "SHAPE UP WAVERLEY" By Natalie Axelson "Get those legs up." You are probably wondering what that statement has to do with a news story. Well, if you guessed it's Track and Field training, you've guessed right. When the students first found out they had to run for 20 minutes every morning there was a lot of moaning and groaning. The teachers could have probably written a book called "1001 reasons not to participate participate in Track and Field." Slowly but surely the students have begun to like it. The grades 3, 4, 5, 6 classes will be running every morning until Track and Field Day. They will be doing laps around our whole field. This will help get the students in shape for Track and Field. We all have hope that most of the town's winners will be from our school. Keep up the good work! , P.A.-PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITY By GregDevitt and Jeff Laughlin The sun is shining, the birds are singing, the flowers are coming out and teachers of grades four, five and six are out running on the track. Out on the track! Yes, out on the track! This exercise is one of the activities for Waverley's Professional Activity Day, better, known to you as a P.A. Day. While the children were flying kites, playing baseball and other sports, Waverley's teachers were at Bowmanville High School to learn the proper way to train students in running and other neat things like that for track and field. Mr. Lynch was the Physical Education teacher who instructed three high school students on what to demonstrate. demonstrate. Danny Moriarity was one of the students. He is a long distance runner. So, as you can see, a P.A. day is for kids to have fun and get the day off school and the teachers have lots of meetings about things that have happened in the school and things that are coming up. I don't think the students mind a P.A. day but for the teachers it's probably a different story. FIRST ANNUAL PROJECT FAIR By GregDevitt and Jeff Laughlin April has been a busy month for Waverley. We've had the Book Fair, Spring Concert, Kiwanis Music Festival, and of course the Project Fair. There were six categories and each category had a first, second and third place winner. The first place winners were: Physical Science - Stephen Cook-Abbott; Plant Study - Rachael Keeler; Animal Study - John Rendell and Michael Holmes; Earth Science - Brett Rosnak, Mike Brock; Community Display - Kyle Leetooze, Eddie Strickland; Mapping - Jason Wraight, Chris Halminen. Each entry got a participant ribbon if they didn't place. There were also three medallions medallions given out. The medallion for General Science was awarded to Stephen Cook- Abbott for an outstanding projeqt on colour. The other two medallions were given to Eddie Strickland and Kyle Leetooze for their Community project which consisted of a replica of Vanstone's Mill and a question board which had light bulbs'that would light up when you got the right answer. Mr. Reid, our Principal and Project Fair co-ordinator, presented the awards. The projects were great this year. Maybe next year there will be more "great" projects.

MRS. CLEMENT'S GRADE 4 CLASS By Natalie Axelson Mrs. Clement's grade 4 ■ class has been working hard. They have been picking harder and harder words for spelling and the students are enjoying it. Flips, slides and turns are what they are learning in math and they will be learning fractions. There have been no difficulties in math. Hands on...that's the kind of puzzles they're doing. It seems to be a lot of fun for the students. "We'll be doing some "Knock, Knock" jokes this week!" explained Mrs. Clement. Keep up the good work grade 4's. POSTERS GALORE "" Jeff Laughlin Kecently at our school we had a poster contest. The contest was to advertise the Waverley Public School Fun Fair. Although every poster was great, there could only be two winners per class. The first place winners got 10 free tickets to the Waverley Fun Fair and the second place people, received five free tickets. Some posters were put up in stores, others were put up in the school.

MORE ABOUT DINOSAURS By Joey Raby - Gr. 2 Altogether dinosaurs thrived for some 140 million years, a very long time - particularly if you compare it with the 2 - 3 million years. Trachodon was as big as a house. Stegosaurus was a plant eater. Trachodon is a plant eater. If you want to learn more about dinosaurs, you can go to a museum. Brontosaurus was as big as two school rooms. SUPERTEDDY By Michael Ferguson, Gr. 1 One day Super Teddy saw someone in a wagon and he was rolling down the hill. He was heading for a sail boat and he said, "Help me!" so Super Teddy went to save him. The wagon was just about to hit the sail boat and Super Teddy caught him. Yeah for Super Teddy! SPACE By Michelle Collins, Gr. 3 . Hi, my name is Commander Tracy Williams. I'm going to tell you all about space. So listen very carefully. Inside Skylab is large. Skylab was as big as a house. The people who built Skylab put cameras inside. There were many rooms. It has an upper deck and a lower deck. Some people say that if you walk in the door you will go up to the wall. That's really not true. The first day on Skylab an astronaut astronaut opened his shaving set and all of his toothbrush and his toothpaste and his towels went Up in the air. Eating in space is surely not like eating on earth. Well, the people in Skylab are waiting for me '- goodbye.
