Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - March 6, 1972, Winnipeg, Manitoba Brand Mellen perhaps time has dulled my memory some what but i honestly Don t remember having much fun in school. Sure there were a lot of Good times that i la re member Well into the future. Fun however was some thing usually reserved for after school hours imagine my Surprise then when i paid a visit to Van Belleghem elementary schooling Windsor Park one. Day last week and found myself surrounded by a sea of Happy faces. The More than .600 students attending grades 1 trough 6 there Are discovering that learning involves much More than handing in essays and remembering dates for a history exam. What s the reason to be exact there Are several. First of All a lot of the stigma created by concepts such As grades and pass fail systems has been eliminated. Stu dents at Van Belleghem Are designated As year i year 2 and so on through years of elementary Educa however just because a child is taking year three mathematics and science does t mean that he can t also be doing year four English. As the scho9l s Walter chum Echuk pointed out the number of years a child has been in school does t necessarily coincide with the subject matter he might be by allowing the student to Progress according to his interest and ability individual initiative is fostered and encouraged. Thus he does t being forced to rehash five digit mathematical additions which most of the other students in his age group might be taking but is allowed to move to things and measurement which Are much More challenging. Van Belleghem is striving for in the to r d s of or. Chum Echuk student centred situation where textbooks will be a. Tool but won t be rigidly adhered As a re sult students Are finding much More Opportunity to make their learning process Well As useful. A student entering .years.4 through 6 takes most of his classes in an open area surrounding the school Library where a team of three jointly supervise around 90 eager faces. Unlike. Many schools where might and open area is conducive to movement. discovers a certain Freedom to pursue personal interests More importantly finds himself making More pm his own. R in other words the onus on the student to Nike or Lake himself As far As that s a lot More to life and throw someone into a class leave then expect him to regurgitate of facts an. Exam g free press _ so much More happening at , Naip Puhy More school to Kirgis a student Progress More than bite a important exam things like increased aids which offer a much arid1 perspective than the Standard textbooks. T found my visit both encouraging. There s one unfortunate aspect to the situation though. After going through six year s of school in which learning was fun. And exciting most of these students will discover that Many High schools still Haven t caught up with the element Aries in some regards most notably open area. To Freedom and men virtually take it All away just in t going to work. In the meantime Good to people having 2ieaver Canada Usa local Ovik sus j4ovinc re estimate Tor free or brochure two escapees still at Large said dangerous two men who escaped with four others Early sunday from the Birds Hill rehabilitation Centre remain at Large.

In most people s opinion last thursday s Uriah keep show was one of those unavoidable disasters which do seem to happen on occasion. Nevertheless an employee at one of the City s leading record shops reports that the group s records were Selling extremely Well on saturday.
