This winter has been one of the

worst flu seasons on record. Many

children have been sick for a week at

a time with cough, cold, sore throat

and fever. Teachers are getting sick

too.

We talked to Mr. Gill, world’s best school nurse and he told us

some facts about being a

school nurse here at Bay Ha-

ven. The worst things that

Mr. Gill has had to deal with

are broken bones , 100 pa-

tients a day , and students

pretending to be sick (drama)

He has never had a student

have the flu, but he has had

students have flu symptoms.

The parents of sick children

have called him for what med-

icine to give their children or how long they should stay out of

school. His best advice is to stay home if you have a fever and

get plenty of advice if you do.

By Chloe Catalfino

You’re just about to

sneeze or cough but, oh

dear, you don’t have a

tissue. What should you

do? Cover your mouth

and nose with your

hands? Surely that’s

what polite people do.

But hold it! If you

sneeze or cough into your hands (and then fail to wash your

hands straight away,) you’ll only be spreading colds and the flu

germs on everything you touch.

And that’s because germs (as long as they stay

moist) can live for HOURS on hard surfaces such

as keyboards, phones and door handles. And not

just on objects – everybody you touch will be contaminated,

too. And of course, vice versa – if somebody else has sneezed

or cough on their hands, they’re leaving a germ- trail for you to

pick up. So what’s it best to do? The Vampire Sneeze and cough

is so easy to learn and it quickly becomes a totally unconscious

reflex action. Use your sleeve. Specifically, cover your nose and

mouth with the material in the region of your elbow and

SNEEZE or COUGH! Always wash your hands too!

What To Do To Stop the FLU !

With FSA right around the corner, 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders are working extra hard reviewing and practicing

their test taking skills. We asked some experienced 5th graders what the best tips are for taking the BIG test

and this is what they said:

1. Get a good night’s sleep the night before. You want your brain to be ready to go first thing !

2. Eat a healthy breakfast. Try to avoid too much sugar, it will just make you tired.

3. Read directions carefully, sometimes you need to circle more than one answer !

4. Take your time. You will have a lot of time so go back and reread, check your work, find your answers.

5. Read ALL the answer choices ! Don’t just go with the first one you think is right.

6. If you get done early, go back and check your work. Make sure you colored in the bubble, and answered all the questions.

7. DON’T stress !! It is never as hard as what you think, just do your best and remember what your teacher taught you !

A Strange Day for Easter ! An Easter Poem By Reese Gibson, Third Grade

Freelance Re-

porter

Easter is on April Fools this year,

I think it is quite queer.

Is he going to do some tricks,

Is he going to give us mud and sticks ?

Is he going to use glue?

Is the Easter Bunny going to put it in our shoe ?

I can’t believe they’re on the same day,

Is it going to change my schedule,

In any way?

It happened 85 years ago,

I’m a little nervous though

I wonder if he’s going to put anything in the eggs,

maybe something with hind legs ?

Hi, so you know April fools was on April 1 and so was Easter.

So I have some really good pranks you could pull any day in

April. Why just celebrate on one day ! The one prank is

spilled ice cream trick

This is what you need:

Ice cream cone

Play-Doh

Sprinkles

Directions:

Grab a small chunk of Play-Doh and knead it in your

hands to soften it.

Flatten the Play-Doh out to make the shape of spilled ice

cream, then slide one end inside the ice cream cone

Top the Play-Doh with sprinkles, gently pressing them into the Pay-Doh so that they stay in place

That’s just one example of one of wonderful pranks to pull on April Fools. See you next time!

April Fools Day

By: Lily Campion

Everyone knows the one and only…holiday of St. Patrick’s

Day!! But, does everyone know the history behind it? Probably

not, so that’s why I’m here. To give you the gift of knowledge

(well at least the knowledge of St. Patrick’s Day). I’ll list 5 facts

about St Patrick’s Day and you can go home or school and tell

everyone about these facts. Let’s get into it!

Saint Patrick's Day, or the Feast of Saint Patrick is a cul-

tural and religious celebration held on 17 March.

St Patrick's Day is a global celebration It par ticular ly re-

members St Patrick, one of Ireland’s patron saints, who min-

istered Christianity in Ireland during the fifth century.

Wearing green shirts and leprechaun costumes

on St. Patrick's Day are traditions that started in the 17th cen-

tury, when people wore green ribbons and shamrocks on

March 17 to honor Ireland's patron saint.

Pinching people who didn't wear green r eminded them that

leprechauns could sneak up on them at any time.

Saint Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland. Although

he was not born Irish, he has become an impor tant par t of

the Irish heritage.

Over the Rainbow!

Celebrating Women’s History Month

Some people don’t know about Malala Yousafzai. But

she was an important person. She was born on July

12 1997; she still lives at the age 20. She was born on

Mingora, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Back then

girls could not go to school. But one day she went to

school anyway and got shot in the head. After a long

time, she was better and she survived. Later she was

awarded Noble Peace Prize. Wow she was a great

person. She went on for what was right. I would love

to meet her.

Freedom of Speech

-Thomas Jefferson

President Thomas Jefferson once said “If the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb

and silence will take over.” So don’t be afraid to ask questions in class, and stand up for

yourself. Remember to be brave because nobody can take away the beauty of words.

Happy Presidents Day!

Colors

Colors express the mind, colors are what

make us unique. Without colors the world would be blank. So don’t be afraid to let

your colors show because everyone is unique, everyone has flaws, and everyone is special. We are the future. We are the col-

ors of the rainbow!

Home

Home is where I should be. Home is where I am, who I am. Home is where ever u feel free. In that case home is everywhere, because everywhere we are free. Soaring across the sky I am free, climbing a tree, absolute garentie…. I am free. I am at home,

I am where I belong. Home sweet home.

Different

Everyone is different, but at the same time we are

the alike. Our differences don’t matter, but they do. Do they? The uniqueness of everyone is what

makes us a family, what makes us the alike

The Story

The world is dark, the world is light. But my life

is the one shinning bright tonight. Life is scary, life is sweet. My mom and dad “eat me up” like a

treat. The world is harsh the world is forgiving. I hope everyone will always give thanks and be giving. I now lay down under neath the apple

tree, with my loving family waiting for me.

Music To My Ears

Instruments are special, they unleash thoughts that can be hidden deep down inside you. Instru-ments make music, and music lets out the crea-

tive, artistic vision of everyone. It may not in-volve a marker or color pencil, but it does help let out emotions,

feelings. Music can be calming. Music can be a way for every-one to come together and make friends.

I’ve finished

one of my

favorite

books re-

cently, The

Littlest Big-

foot. It is so good! The author,

Jennifer Weiner did such a

good job writing this. There is

another book called Little Big-

foot, Big City. I have the book

and I’m starting it. The book is

written from different perspec-

tives such as the main charac-

ter Alice and from Millie her

furry friend, and she is human.

Also from the perspective of

the bigfoot hunter, Jeremy.

Anyhow, Alice thinks she is

unwanted and she wants a

world that would love her.

Millie lives in a small village in

the woods they have to be

quiet and may not go out dur-

ing anytime except hallow-

eening or Halloween. Jeremy

tries and kidnap the bigfoots

and Alice is mistaken for one

for her shape and size. She is

called “freak” when the crowd

following Jeremy Bigelow. He

then says sorry and says he is

way too sorry. Since I haven’t

read the second one I will

hopefully have an article out

about that book when I finish

it. So bye for now!!!

p.s make sure to read the

book!

The Littlest Bigfoot

Hi! Have you ever heard of

Thomas Edison? Good, be-

cause that is what we are

going to be talking about.

Thomas Edison’s full name is

Thomas Alva Edison. He was

an American inventor and

businessman, who has been

described as America’s greatest inventor. You

are maybe thinking “Oh, yeah. He invented the

light bulb” Your right and wrong at the same

time. He invented a lot more than the light

bulb. He invented the Phonograph, film, Ki-

netoscope, Mimeograph, Movie Camera, Ta-

simeter, and many more. He also had some

Quotes one was “The doctor of the future will

give no medicine, but will instruct his patient in

the care of the human frame, in diet and in the

cause and prevention of disease” So I hope you

learn a bit more about Thomas Edison. See

you next time BYE!!
