A short week, but busy as we packed a lot in. We had a visit from the missions team at our assembly on Tuesday. They came and shared about where they are going, and the purpose of their trip. They also talked to us about how we can be involved and support them as they go (see more information below). This week we talked about Food Webs, and the complexity of how different food chains in an ecosystem are intertwined. Students have really enjoyed learning about this for Science. We have also wrapped up our unit on the Beatitudes for Bible; next we are going to be looking in depth at some of Jesus’ parables. Students were very excited this week to begin learning about division. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Bible Memory:
1 John 4:7-14
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves God has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Saviour of the world.

We have started our Friday Letters. Every Friday, students will be writing a letter to mom or dad or a sibling, and they will bring it home with them. I am asking that you take a few minutes to read it and respond on the back of the letter. Then they need to return the folder on Monday, so that we can get this back and forth letter writing going. Please make sure that you take some time to respond, it is special for them to read what you write, and I don’t want them to be left out.
- Home Reading – be sure to be reading each night
- Thursday is Library day – just a reminder to return library books on that day so your child can take out new books
- Gym strip goes home on Fridays and needs to be returned on Mondays!
- Don’t forget to send water bottles
