GRiLDE THREE NFWS - l ffiS. BRUCE Mrs. Bruce ' s class has been working with an S.R.A. Reading Lab. This gives extra reading skills so that the child moves at his own rate in reading. It is not used in place of the readers, but with them. A special part of the Lab. is the Listening Pro- gramme. This is used to improve the listening habits of the child- ren. Pupils keep records of their progress on charts and graphs. They have to be sure and keep their own records. The teacher helps the children when help is needed, but they have to do most of the work on their own. She also discusses their progress with them. The S.R.A. Reading Lab. is set up in Grade three, so that each child may read the things that he is most interested in. These ■stories are called power builders. As each child finishes the stories in his level, he can move on to the next level. The pupils in this class are doing more than reading. In their Science classes, they are talking about Nature. The class has been divided into three different groups, and Mrs. Bruce is taking each group to different Nature trails in the area. They are certainly having an interesting year. Tommy Grouch

ABSENT - Debbie Flynn, Reinhold Lettkemann. GRADE THREE AND FOUR NEWS - MISS SMYTH The pupils in this room have taken several trips to go along with their work in Science and Social Studies. The children have been divided into several groups and each group reports back to the rest of the class, explaining what they saw. The groups have gone to the Weather Station at London Airport, the sugar bush, the Department of Geology at the University of Western Ontario and the Observatory at Western. The whole class went on a trip to Kelloggs to see how our cereals were made. These trips made our studies of the subjects more interesting. We also saw a film from the Bell Telephone Go. , called About Time , and a man from the London Free Press came out and showed us how a newspaper was m.ade. We have done m.any projects in the class, also, such as this yearbook, and we made and ran a post office for the school, while we studied communications. I ' flien Michael and Terry corrected the Dictionary Company, we received a letter from Ireland about it, and we wrote to the children in the Irish school. With all this work, our year in this room has gone by very fast. Kerbie Colledge... ...
