1 t The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, November 6,1985 Section Two Waverley Public School Happenings UNICEF By Jennifer Moser On Thursday, October 31, all the children go out for trick- or-treating and some also have UNICEF boxes. UNICEF stands for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. We carry these boxes for people who want to help out for the less fortunate children. To help out they give loose change and put it in the UNICEF boxes. The day after Hallowe'en the Waverley students count the money and give it to the less fortunate children. I thank the children who collected the money and special thanks to the people who gave the money. PHYSICAL EDUCATION By Jennifer Moser I decided to look at the junior level of Physical Education. Education. Physical Education is when children go into the gym and play sports or stretching exercises. Usually they play a certain sport because that's what houseleague is playing or the sport the inter-school team is playing. Some of the sports are baseball, baseball, basketball, floor hockey, volleyball and soccer. Some of the stretching exercises exercises are touching toes, twisting twisting at your waist etc. Each class can have physical physical education once to three times a week. But the average is twice a week. In the gymnasium you must wear shorts or a track suit, and jogging shoes are a must. Physical Education is usually taught by the class teacher or another class teacher. Physical Education is good for your health, fitness and shape. STUDENT TEACHER MISS LOCKE For the past two weeks at Waverley School, Miss Locke has been part-time teaching in Miss Pitcher's classroom. She taught the class in many different different subjects. On the first day Miss Locke sat in the teacher's desk and watched Miss Pitcher teach the class and then came around to help people if anybody needed it. The second day she taught literature in the morning. Everyday Miss Locke tried to teach a bit more. On the last day she gave the class a package package of licorice and a lollipop each. Then she went back to Teachers' College. THE GREAT PUMPKIN ugh, oof, this is heavy... Mrs. Ough, Mrs. VanSegge- len and Mrs. Murphy's classes went to Mr. Rickard's Pumpkin Pumpkin Field. Each child got to purchase a pumpkin, but the trick was that they could have any pumpkin in the field but they had to carry the pumpkin to the car'without help. The Rickard's showed them how they run the pumpkin field. On Hallowe'en they are going to carve them and then take them home. MRS. MOFFAT'S CLASS In Mrs. Moffat's class they are doing multiplication in math and in spelling every Monday they write their words out three times each and the other days they work in their spellers. For reading they have groups, in the groups they read stories and answer questions. They sing Hallowe'en songs in music. They do family situations such as smoking, skipping school and parents urguing or getting a divorce. They just finished . an environmental studies unit on rocks and minerals and are now doing Australia. They have seen one film on Australia, it talked about the people, land and cities. In the classroom they have hats hanging from the ceiling and also some ghosts and witches on the walls. Christmas Light Festival Opens at Cullen Gardens One of Ontario's premier Christmas light festivals opens Saturday, November 9th, as craftsmen complete installation of the old favourites and many new features. Thousands of sparkling lights are being attached to trees and shrubs. Hundreds of coloured floodlights around the valley illuminate cedar groves, covered bridges and romantic walkways. The ever popular miniature village with Main Street, schools, churches, homes and farms have their Christmas lights and trees aglow. Small village people, dressed in winter attire can be seen going about their pre Christmas activities. Several new features include huge Christmas cards of animated lights and a full size Huron Indian nativity scene set amongst the evergreens at a gentle bend in the river. In the 1600's, Huron Indian tribes of the Midland area, celebrated Christmas in pageants. This historic event, accompanied by Father Jean de Brebeuf's Huron Indian Carol will be presented as a tableau every evening during the show which goes through to January 5th. Favourites from past years include the traditional Christmas scene, with live animals in the manger, Bird sculptures lit up in thousands of twinkling lights, and a miniature Santa Claus parade winding down Main Street with twenty floats, some VOTE Hobbs Re-elect BILL CARMAN Board of Education Trustee Ward 3 animated with favourite cartoon characters. Add to all of this, crackling fires in stone fireplaces and hot apple cider. Christmas carols by strolling singers and choirs. A live entertainment package twice every evening free on the tea room stage and fabulous meals in the restaurant, and a gift shop with gifts to please everyone. Cullen Gardens and Miniature Village is located in Whitby, Ontario, five kilometers north of highway 401, just west of highway 12. YWCA Hosting Special Dinner In hosting the fourth Annual Women of Distinction Dinner on November 7th, the Oshawa YWCA is not only honouring the achievements of women in Durham Region, but the event is also a major fund raiser. All proceeds from the dinner support the YWCA Cooperation Cooperation for Development program which supports projects in developing countries designed to teach new skills to women, to develop their potential and improve their status in their communities. In Bangladesh, the YWCA supports a Co-operative Cottage Industry where jute products are made for export; in Tazmanea, a local YW has set up a Pilot Kindergarten program for disabled children to assist in their integration into community life; the Zambia YWCA supports small cottage industries that generate income to support youth programs involving lifeskills and trade skills. Rural projects support home improvement and craft production as well as teaching marketing skills. In Jamaica, a large YWCA Women's Centre works with teenage mothers who are encouraged to learn parenting skills and continue their education. Until pressure was placed on the Jamaican Ministry of Education by the YWCA, teenage mothers were barred from returning to school. These are examples of women helping women, the proceeds from the YWCA Women of Distinction Dinner supporting the Co-operation for Development Programs through the World YWCA.
