Ryle, “Eternity!” 1878) “So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 Oh, you who love the world--awake to see things in their true light, before it is too late. The things you live for now, are all temporary and passing away! The pleasures, the amusements, the recreations, the profits, the earthly callings, which now absorb all your heart and drink up your entire mind--will soon be over! They are poor fleeting things, which cannot last. Oh, do not love them too much; do not hold on to them too tightly; do not make them your idols! You cannot keep them--and you must leave them! This same thought ought to cheer and comfort every true Christian. Your trials, crosses, and conflicts--are all temporary! Your cross will soon be exchanged for a crown! “What is unseen is eternal.” The world which we are going to, is...an endless eternity, a sea without a bottom, and an ocean without a shore! “And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words.” 1 Thessalonians 4:17-18 A Grace Gem Submitted by: Immanuel United Reformed Church, Listowel, ON 519-291-1956 Sunday, October 21 Trinity Anglican Church 5:00 pm ~ 7:00 pm Adults: $12.50 Children: (6-12) $6 Children 5 and under: FREE Roast Beef Supper with home made desserts Sponsored by Trinity Anglican Church, Blyth Take-outs and deliveries available by calling Olwen Richmond at 519-523-9564 Correction: Date is Sunday, October 21 Better Water NOW! 519-379-9765 Rick Dupuis Say: Hullett calling for 2013-14 Kindergarten studentsBy Morgan HowsonAt Hullett Central Public Schoollast week it was very busy with theholiday on Monday, the magazine selling and the regional cross country on Thursday. All the primary classes were busy with Mrs. Thorpe Hearn’s Kindergarten A and B classes learning about the letter “A”and separating words into long andshort sounds. It was really tough.Also in the Kindergarten A and B class students cut and glued illustrations from the book I Went Walking by Sue Williams. While they did that they were concentrat- ing on the animal and colour words. They also started learning aboutthe number two and how to write it, find it on a dice and many other fun things. This week they will go on a hunt for pairs or twos. To conclude the week they have been reading a lot of Robert Munsch books to getthem prepared for the production atthe Blyth Festival this week. In theother Kindergarten class and Grade 1 class they watched a student awareness session that helped them understand various physical limitations. To help them understand they put on glasses that were cracked so they would know how people with limited vision see. To finish last week off they had their magazine sales start. If you are interested, subscriptions and renewals are available at great rates through Hullett Central students. Calling all three year olds, any new kindergarten students for September are now being scheduled by the school. Anyone wishing to register a child who was born in 2009 or 2008 should contact Hullett Central Public School (519-523- 4201) to schedule an appointment. By Ben Stewart The Grade 4 students are creating bear habitat dioramas in science. In social studies they walked around the school with a blank map to learn how to read maps, filled in the location and saw what a map contains.The kids are currently making their own classroom maps in groups. They also have a data management test coming up on Tuesday next week. They are walking across Canada and they know the track is about 250 metres long. Each time a student walks around he or she puts a popsicle stick in a container. At the end of this DPA time they calculate how far they have gone by grouping the sticks into groups of four (one kilometre). They are planning to walk to the Alberta/BC border. They are currently in Wasaga Beach area. They estimated to see how long it would take them to get to their next destination (Sault Ste. Marie) attheir current rate. They have alsocalculated how far they have to go toget there and discussed what they might see along the way. The Grade 3/4 class enjoyed playing “capture the flag” using hoola hoops and nerf balls in the gym or out in the field. They are learning some soccer skills. They are taking their pulse rate before, during and after activity to learn about the heart muscle and how it works. By Colton Rodger In the Grade 7/8 class they are learning about ratios, proportional reasoning and converting fractions to decimals. Oct. 11 was District Track and Field and everyone placed fairly well. Parker from the Grade 7 class placed 11th, he was one place away from getting a medal. Abby Bos got second and was so proud of herself for placing so high. Also Kaleb Wilts placed ninth in the 12- year-old boys; Bailey Bos, fifth in the 11-year-old boys; Myea Fleet, ninth in the 10-year-old girls and Chloe Elliott, second in the nine- year-old girls. This week we have a soccer tournament at Huron Centennial Public School. I made the team including most of my friends and we can’t wait until we get there. In the Grade 7/8 class we are also working on a five-paragraph essay. The first essay was based on a gun article the class read from the United States. This article suggested students carry concealed weapons on and around college and university campuses. That wraps it up for this week’s writing, and I can’t wait to write for you next week. 1st Blyth Scouting Apple Day Saturday, October 20 9 am - 11:30 am Scouting youth in uniform will be asking for donations to finance local scouting activities.
