Devotion – God, our lifeguard

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers … what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? (Psalm 8:3, 4)

I used to love staring up into the inky darkness of the night sky when I lived in the country. The Milky Way was on display. (It took me a long time to learn where the Southern Cross was because the constellation seemed to hide amongst the millions of other stars. It felt like a ‘Where’s Wally?’ puzzle to me!)

I like to think that David enjoyed the night sky, too, all those years ago as he warmed himself by a campfire. His thoughts would often turn to the Creator, his majesty and glory … But his ponderings ventured further to where our own thoughts go from time to time.

Where do people fit into the big picture?

How does it even make sense that the One whose creativity set into being the heavens, the earth and all living things places such value on the human race? Created in his image, he gives people honour and purpose. He invests himself, his love and care, knowing all the shortcomings and failures that human lives present.

I won’t be able to logically explain how this all makes sense in a concise way to satisfy everyone. But then again, I don’t have to. What I can do is to receive God’s grace and love with gratitude and join David in thanking, praising and worshipping our Creator, our Lord and our God. How will you respond to him today?

Dear Creator God, it doesn’t make sense that you value me so much when you know every detail about me, yet you do. Your love paid for my sins on the cross, and you restored me to the position you always intended for me to have. I thank and praise you for your love and grace. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.

Sharing Assembly

It was wonderful to be able to gather again as a school for Sharing Assembly last Friday. After a long hiatus, all the students had an opportunity to share what they have been learning in their classrooms.

The Prep students shared about ‘Kimochis’. Kimochis are a family of cuddly critters that help us to learn more about our emotions and how we can manage them.

The Year 1/2 students shared about a beautiful book they had read together; The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein. They also shared some books they had created based on The Giving Tree.

The Year 3/4 students shared about early explorers they have been researching. We heard about Matthew Flinders, Abel Tasman, William Jansz and Chinese explorer Zheng He.

The Year 5/6 students presented the creative work they have been undertaking on the class novel ‘Stormbreaker’ by Anthony Horowitz.

What we are Learning

What we are Learning

Prep

In the Prep classroom we have been talking about the days of the week.

You can help by talking to us about what the name of the day is and what we are doing each day.

Year 1/ 2

In the Year 1/2 classroom we are learning about 2D shapes and their properties. You can help by having a conversation with us about the shapes of objects at home, for example; the shape of furniture, boxes, a clock, or a newspaper! What are the names of these shapes?

Year 3/ 4

In the Year 3/4 classroom we are learning about James Cook’s voyage to Australia. Ask us about his journey and what the country’s name was before Australia.

Year 5/ 6

In the Year 5/6 classroom we have been reflecting on our excursion to Scienceworks. Ask us about something we discovered and something we wonder about.
