CAVENDISH CELEBRATES THE 375™ April was Devonshire ' s month for celebrating Bermuda ' s 375th Anniversary. Cavendish School ' s participation took the form of special projects carried out by each class. IB kept a diary of the agricultural activity in a Devonshire field from January to May. IS studied the history of pigs in Bermuda and visited a pig farm in Devonshire. 2B studied old Devonshire Church. «j« 2D studied horses in Devonshire and visited the local Blacksmith and several stables. 3M studied communications in Bermuda which included ' Cable and Wireless ' . 3T studied the history of Cavendish Hall School and decided that school activities today are more interesting than those experienced by pupils in 1916. The Choir, under the direction of Mrs. Bacon, were invited to perform in one of the lunchtime concerts on the steps of City Hall, and delighted the audience with a selection of Sea Shanties. Devonshire Parish Council presented gifts to the school including the Heritage Book, a book of Antique Bermuda Furniture and Silver, a floral arrangment, and a Flag bearing the Devonshire Crest. 22

Gardening Club Outdoor Club Dear Miss Thompson and Mrs. Thomson, Thank you for doing gardening with us I really enjoyed that. At first I did not really like it then I started enjoying it now I love gardening, I wish I could stay in the gardening club the whole time. I like gardening I am glad you help us because I think you are good teachers. Planting Trees The gardening club planted cedar trees in April and olive wood bark trees too. We planted the trees where the class ones come up in the morning. Near where we planted the trees is where the school garden is. When we started planting the first thing we had to do was to dig the holes. The second thing we had to do was to put the tree in the hole. Then we covered it with soil. Then we stamped our feet round it and then we gave it a drink. The man who helped us with all of this his name is Mr. Barry Phillips. - Shimon Alkon 3t Tae Kwon Do Dear Mrs. Avery, Thank you for doing Tae Kwon Do for us. I think its really fun. At home I am exercising all the time. I did it out side this morning because my sister was not feeling too good. When I was in gardening club before I was in Tae Kwon Do I said that Tae Kwon Do was boring. But now I am in it its not boring. - Robert Melotti 3T I like Tae Kwon Do, Mrs. Avery, and it is nice and I like some of the kicks and I like one step, spiral and three step, and I think it is good and I like the kicking bag and it says bear brand on it and I like the punching gloves they are nice. - Andrew Barrow 3T Dear Mrs. Cassidy and Mrs. Bran man, I really enjoy Outdoor Club. Thank you for coming on Thursdays. I really enjoy myself. I liked when we went to the Do Nut House that was fun! Last Thursday we went to the fire station and the Sergeant said if you et off a false alarm it would cost about 5,(XXJ dollars and three years in jail! I really enjoy myself not just me, the other boys too. I know this is our last Thursday together. I hope we go somewhere nice tomorrow. - Kobm Simmons 3T Thank you for taking us to the places we have been. The best places I think we have been are the Fire Station and Fort hamilton. I enjoyed going to the Do Nut Shop the best. Thank you for taking me home when I missed the bus. I have enjoyed going in your car a great lot. 1 have had a lot of fun in your car too. - David Patrick 3T Dear Mrs. McKey, I wish to thank you for showing the Out Door club around your beautiful church. Holy Trinity Church. I liked what you told us about the Sunday School and the beautiful interior of the church and the font where you told us that the babies are christened. I also remember where you showed us where the horse knelt down so that its master could mount. Thank you so much for the drink and cookies. - Rhys Baptiste 3M Dear Police Marine Department, Thank you for the tour round the dept. I diden ' t like the idea of going out round the place in boats and looking for dead people because you would not catch me doing that. I do like the idea of shooting fireworks that have lights on it and that have power shoots on so other people can see you and will not crash into you. I like the water soot that is like a sweter but I would not dump my sweter in the sea. - Benjamin Leighton 3M Dear Fireman Aguiar, Thank you for taking me around the Fire Station. I liked the fire trucks and the fire pole. It was fun. - Ashley Finnigan 3T ... and MUSIC (our first Menuhin foundation violin pupils) 21
