Multi-media art in Grade 7/8
By Carlene Bremner,
Isaac Nicholson and Eric Steele
In the Grade 7/8 class, the students
are starting a new unit on fractions
in math. The class has also started a
new art project. The students are to
redraw a magazine picture and
divide the picture into six sections.
Then in each section, they are to
recreate the picture using a different
medium.
On Monday the Grade 7/8 class
performed their own version of
“Stomp”. Working in groups,
students were to create a percussion
performance using different sports
equipment. Productions were
videotaped so they could be shared
with parents. The class is also
experimenting with Google Docs.
Students wrote and shared surveys
with each other and then using the
data wrote a five-paragraph essay,
answering the questions “does the
music industry affect the way their
classmates spend their money?” or
“does the music industry affect
society socially?”
All students were invited to
Central Huron Secondary School to
attend a special Motivational Media
presentation on Wednesday, May 18.
This presentation was to help teens
with character education, drug
prevention and assisting families
with strengthening good character
and personal values.
This week Blyth Public School
held track and field. Special thanks
to Ms Badham and her volunteers as
they helped make the event a big
success. Overall results were:

My grace is sufficient for you
(J.C. Philpot, “Strength Made Perfect in Weakness”)
“My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in your weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Not your strength, not your wisdom, not your prayers, not your experience; but “My
grace”— My free, My matchless grace, independent of all works and efforts,
independent of everything in the creature — flowing wholly and solely fully and freely,
out of the bosom of Jesus to... the needy, the guilty, the destitute, the undone.
You who are tried in wordly circumstances, who have to endure the hard lot of poverty
— “My grace is sufficient for you.”
You who are tempted, day by day, to say or do that which conscience testifies against
— “My grace is sufficient for you.”
You who are harassed with family troubles and afflictions, and are often drawn aside
into peevishness and fretfulness — “My grace is sufficient for you.”
Our weakness, helplessness, and inability are the very things which draw forth the
power, the strength, and the grace of Jesus!
Believer, your case is never beyond the reach of the words — “My grace is sufficient
for you!”
The free, the matchless, sovereign grace of God, is sufficient for all His people — in
whatever state, or stage, or trouble, or difficulty they may be in!
