Jill Booker Staff Writer If Santa's making a list and checking it twice, he may just want to add a lew more Furbies and video games to his toy sack. More than half of the students in the combined grade four and five class at Ontario Street Public School said they wanted a Furby for Christmas, with black and white being the most popular choice for colour. "They've all been looking forward to Christmas," teadher Jill Smith said. "They've been excited for weeks." Video game systems and video games were also a popular choice, with just under half the class hoping to find a Nintendo 64 system or Sony PlayStation under the Christmas tree. While some students wished for a second controller for their game system, others had asked Santa lor video games. The most asked-for games were Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, James Bond Goldeneye and a wrestling game called WCW vs. NWO. Several students wished for a big-screen TV, while others specifically wanted a TV set lor their bedroom. "I'd like a TV this big," ten-year-old Lisa said, spreading her arms as wide as they would go. Teletubbies were also on the children's wish list. Ten- year-old Samantha asked for a La-La Tclctubby talking doll, while ten-year-old Sarah-Jayne hopes to collect the knapsacks of all four Teletubbies. A few students had made some recent revisions to their Christmas wish list. "At first, all I wanted was toothpaste and ten dollars," Graeme, 10, said. "Now I'd like a Nintendo 64 and a TV for my bedroom." Other items the grade four and five students had asked Santa for include a earner^ tcl.çp|xqi)çs,.a,spg^ fr board, a remote coiHrol;caiy;ji'diyiT>:icCa^ercQ; : tt'SkatCr-; board,- Spice Girlsjp;u;aphcrnalfa,' Bcânje' Babies, board games and a journal. "I've already been through*twd]i$ufhals",Nsoi E.d.likè another one for Christmas," Sarah-Jayne, 10, said. • Pets were also, a popular choice for the combined grade four and five class at Ontario Street Public School, as well as for the students at Wavcrlcy Public School. Kittens, rabbits, fish and a horse were all asked for, with puppies being far and away the most sought-after pet. "I'd like a Newfoundland puppy," Waverley Public School student Curtis, 7, said. "We had to give our other one away, so now I'd like another one for Christmas." For die grades one and two students at Wavcrlcy* the most common answer given when they were asked what they wanted for Christmas was pencil crayons and markers. markers. "All I want for Christmas is markers and pencil crayons," seven-year-old Kalcigh said. It was a sentiment sentiment echoed by many of her classmates. Other answers given by the students were a sewing set, stuffed animals, candy, a dirt bike, dolls, hockey equipment and Barbie dolls. Barbie dolls were also what many of the students in Shcryll ten Wcstcncind's Junior Kindergarten class at Wavcrlcy Public School wanted. Four-year-old Haylcy asked Santa for a Barbie, as did Ashley 4, Janine 4, and three-year-old Joric. Four-year- old Chelsea loves Barbie so much, she's asked Santa for 15 of the dolls. As for the other Junior Kindergarten children, four- year-old Stanley wants a big car and Jamiclyn 4, doesn't know what she wants for Christmas yet. While most presents will fit under the Christmas tree, some will not. When asked what she wanted for Christmas, ten-year-old Ontario Street Public School student Sarah replied, "world peace". MMES R.
