Bible Memory Verse:

Isaiah 55:7 “Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts.  Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.”

Children must memorize all the parts in bold to get a sticker for this week.  They may get two stickers or choose to move their surf board up on our behavior chart if they remember the entire verse.

To close off our Inquiry unit on Cayman, each student (with the help of their parents) chose and prepared a traditional Caymanian dish.  We had Cayman style beef, baked macaroni and cheese, BBQ chicken, jerk chicken, rice and beans, plantain chips, Johnny cake, corn bread, swanky water, conch stew, curried chicken and pink potato salad. What a feast!  Thank you to all for preparing the food and joining in our celebration of Cayman!

To better understand Cayman’s heritage, Connor’s mom and grandma helped organize for a famous Caymanian seaman to come to Grade 3 and talk to us about life in the “old days.”  Below is a short bit on Capt. Hurlston from a recent Compass article (1 Nov) and a new exhibit opening later this month at the museum in his honor.

“A new show honoring local seaman Capt. Paul Hurlston, is slated to open at the Cayman Islands National Museum on Nov. 23, as part of the museum’s 22nd anniversary celebrations.

The exhibition, “Voyages: A Sea Captain’s Legacy,” takes viewers on a thrilling journey, using images and stories from the Caymanian seaman.

Hurlston spent more than 40 years at sea, and has directed catboats, steamships and even a vessel carrying a nuclear reactor. His stories have become an essential and celebrated part of Cayman’s history. The premiering exhibit provides an inside look into the life of this local legend.”

The students really enjoyed his visit and we learnt lots.  A big thank you to him for taking time out to share so many valuable lessons and stories with us!
