Our new Science unit focuses on the area of Physical Science.  This week we are looking at the three states of matter – solid, liquid and gas.  The students have enjoyed completing activities on this http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/ks2/science/materials/ website.  We’ve often chosen the older task as they are generally more appropriate for the Grade 3 level.  Each of these activities have a quick Science quiz which the student’s can do as they prepare for their upcoming Science Terra Nova test in May.

This week is Heroes Week where we focus on what it means to be a hero rather than a bully.   We will look at our school’s definition of a bully as “an act of repeated aggressive behavior in order to intentionally cause harm to others.  Bullying is characterized by in imbalance of power or strength.  Behaviors may include: verbal harassment, physical assault, name calling, exclusion, social isolation, coercion, or cyber bulling through cell phones or the use of the internet.”  Our class will look at how we can stand up to bullies (be a powerful bystander) and how we can be a good friend to others.

Sports Day is this Friday at the Truman Bodden Complex.  Please hand in all permission slips and the bus/snack fee of $4.

Just a note on the Bible lessons this week…We will be looking at the topic of being born again.  We are following the ACSI Grade 3 curriculum steps on how to teach this.  We will be following specific passages in the scripture about being born again such as John 3:1-21, The Romans Road (Romans 3:10, 3:23, 6:23, 5:8, 10:9 and 10:13), Colossians 3:8-10 and 3:12-17.  The children are being asked to reflect on their own life and what Jesus did for us.  An invitation to become born again and a follower of Christ will be made.  However, I would like to mention that the children will not be forced to make this decision. I am particularly informing parents about this lesson incase your child has any questions about salvation or wants to share a decision with you.  Please let me know if you have any questions about this.  I pray we can use this time to encourage each other in our desire to follow Christ.
