ELGIN & DISTRICT NURSERY SCHOOL On Friday, Oct. 30, there were ghosts and goblins anxious to ' celebrate Hallowe 'en at Nursery School. Both junior and senior classes were dressed in costumes and enjoyed the day by helping jane and Barb carve jack-oâ€"lanterns and bake special pumpkin cookies. A good .time was had by all. The children with the help of their teachers, found many ways to enjoy the month of November. Under the guidance and encouragement of their teacher Jane Kimmerley, and her assistant Barb Neff the children explored a variety of themes appropriate to this time of year, including "Smell", "People preparing for winter" and "Animals preparing for winter". The first week was spent exploring the sense of smell, allowing the children to identify different foods and spices. The same week, weather permitted a walk ,in the village, enabling the children to enjoy the crisp fall air as well as the sights around them. An invigorating walk in the woods on Nov. 13th, provided the Senior class with many interesting experiences 'as, well as an opportunity to collect iten‘ts‘il.‘fb‘rfl.- tithe -~SCience Table. The outing was equally enjoyed by accompanying parents. Last week, Kathleen Birtch, a naturalist from Mallorytown f Landing Park came to visit the school and captivated the children with her discussion on animals and their preparation for winter. In keeping with the "animals" theme, the children made bird feeders from milk cartons. At the monthly meeting of parents and teachers, on Oct. 28th, the election of officers was held. The executive for the coming year is: President Lorraine Porter; Viceâ€"Pres. Anna Hill; Secretary Betty Hawkins; Treasurer Pat Summers assisted by Sharon Green.
