memories as well as gems orphotographs that we could scan sowe can build our Blyth PublicSchool history. Please call the schoolat 519-523-9201 so we can be sure
to have enough tea and treats for
everyone. Students in Grade 7/8 will
be interviewing all guests.
By Courtney BachertThe students are definitelyenjoying this warm weather, even ifthey have to do school work. In Mrs.Zembashi’s Grade 4/5 French
classes, the students are practising
their play “Le Chat et Le Lune” and
working on their oral presentation.
The Grade 6/7 French classes are
being spent working on “Wanted”
posters. They are revisiting
previously learned vocabulary and
mixing it with new words in
descriptive sentences to describe
their “Wanted Fugitive” in their
health classes. They are reviewing
how to make some difficult
decisions.
The Grade 7/8 French classes are
working on something new, “Ou
Est?” (Where Is?) where they are
creating their own towns and
learning how to give and receive
directions orally. In their health
classes, they are focusing on the
topic, “Where do we go for help?”
and discussing the different people,
agencies, information and products
they can use.
In the Grade 3/4 class, they are
working on writing instructional and
persuasive pieces in language. In art,they are making their own“Medieval Coat of Arms”. Inphysical education they are doingtrack and field practises. In Mrs.
Todd’s math classes, the Grade 3
students are comparing and sorting
prisms and pyramids by their
geometric properties: faces, edges
and vertices. They are construction
rectangular prisms and describing
the properties of the prisms.
The Grade 7 students are learning
to solve multi-step problems and
they are demonstrating the
relationships between the repeated
addition of fractions and the
multiplication of that fraction by a whole number usingmanipulatives.By Hunter DaleIn Mrs. Roe’s Grade 1/2 class they
are doing lots of work with animals.
Students are discussing how animals
move and with their reading buddies,
they are writing poems on animal
motion. In math, students are
problem solving. They are adding
and subtracting to help them write
and solve word problems which they
are putting into a homemade book.
They are very quickly going from
smart mathematicians to brilliant
mathematicians!

What school shall I go to?
(J.C. Ryle)
“He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all--how will He not also,
along with Him, graciously give us all things?” Romans 8:32
Would I learn how to be contented and cheerful under all the cares and anxieties of life?
What school shall I go to?How shall I attain this state of mind most easily? Shall I
look at the sovereignty of God, the wisdom of God, the providence of God, the love of
God? It is well to do so; but I have a better argument still.
I will look at Calvary and the crucifixion. I feel that He who spared not His only
begotten Son but delivered Him up to die for me--will surely with Him give me all
things that I really need. He who endured that pain for my soul--will surely not withhold
from me anything that is really good. He who has done the greater things for me--will
doubtless do the lesser things also. He who gave His own blood to procure me a home
in Heaven--will unquestionably supply me with all that is really profitable for me by the
way. Ah, reader, there is no school for learning contentment that can be compared with
Calvary and the foot of the cross!
