We have an exciting week ahead filled with opportunities for creativity, expression, and personal growth. Here’s what’s happening this week:

Chapel Worship:

Our Chapel Worship team is gearing up to lead us in a powerful session of worship. We have a talented group of students involved. Here is the list for this Wednesday:

We are all looking forward to the atmosphere of warmth and welcome as we come together in worship.

Valentine’s Day Celebrations:

Wednesday is not just any ordinary day—it’s Valentine’s Day! We encourage all students to participate in our Valentine Colours Day by dressing in all the colours of Valentines. For those who prefer to stick to their uniforms, that’s absolutely fine too!

Remember, Valentine’s Day is about spreading kindness to everyone. If you choose to exchange Valentine’s cards, please ensure that each classmate receives one. Let’s make everyone feels included and appreciated. We have 21 students in the class and I will have a list of student names available tomorrow.

Memory Verse Reflection

This week, our memory verse comes from Ephesians 3:19:

“and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.”

It’s not just a verse to memorize, but a powerful message that holds relevance in our daily lives. How does this verse apply to us as Grade 5/6 students?

Let’s break down Ephesians 3:19 and explore its relevance to Grade 5 and 6 students in their daily lives:

1. Understanding Love Beyond Knowledge: This verse encourages us to comprehend a love that goes beyond mere intellectual understanding. For students, this can mean recognizing that love isn’t just about what we know or understand logically, but about how we actively show kindness, empathy, and compassion towards others. It’s about recognizing the value of love in our interactions, even when we may not fully understand its depth.
2. Being Filled with the Fullness of God: The verse speaks to being filled with the fullness of God through knowing His love. While this may sound abstract, for students, it can translate into striving to embody positive qualities such as patience, forgiveness, and understanding in their daily lives. By practicing love and reflecting godly virtues, students can cultivate a sense of inner fulfillment and peace.
3. Application in Home Life: At home, students can apply this verse by showing love and respect towards their family members, even in challenging situations. This could mean being patient with siblings, helping out around the house without being asked, or offering words of encouragement to family members facing difficulties. By nurturing loving relationships at home, students can experience a deeper sense of connection and security.
4. Application in School Life: In school, students can demonstrate the love described in Ephesians 3:19 by treating their classmates with kindness and inclusivity. This might involve reaching out to include others in activities, standing up against bullying or exclusion, and offering support to peers who may be struggling academically or emotionally. By fostering a culture of love and acceptance in the classroom, students can create a positive learning environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

Take a moment to reflect on how understanding and embracing love can positively impact our interactions with others, both at home and at school. To truly grasp its significance, we must strive to embody love in all that we do.

Genius Hour:

Get ready for an exciting journey! Once again, Genius Hour is here! This is our chance to explore our passions, dive deep into topics that intrigue us, and take risks in our learning. We’re looking for projects that challenge us and push the boundaries of our knowledge. Please take some time to chat with your child and help them brainstorm big ideas that will ignite our curiosity and fuel our desire to learn. Genius Hour will take place on Thursdays, so start thinking about what project sparks your interest!

As we embark on this week’s adventures, let’s remember to embrace creativity, show love and kindness to others, and seize every opportunity for growth.
