PRIMARY NEWS
The students in the primary class have been learning about our Solar
System this term. We have compared the size of our sun to the planets
in our Solar System. We are currently researching more about each
planet including the number of moons they have; how long it takes
them to orbit the sun; what is the diameter of the planet; how far
away from the sun are they; and how long a day on each planet is. We
discovered that even though Mars is quite a bit smaller than Earth, it
has about the same amount of land because there is so much water
covering Earth. We have found out many interesting facts and the
more we learn the more we want to know.
See if you can answer our trivia questions:

Hebrews 11:33,34
Who through faith
……. escaped the edge
of the sword, out of
weakness were made
strong, became
valiant in battle,
turned to flight the
armies of the aliens.
Prayer:
O Lord, You are our
deliverer, our strength,
and our source of
courage. Teach us to
look to You when we are
in danger, when we are
weak, and when the
battles rage. We long to
walk by faith in the
blessed consequences
of Your abounding
grace, Amen.

SCHOOL REGISTRATION
We have no new news to give you
at this stage concerning our school
registration for 2015. Our appeal
has been lodged and we are also
preparing documents for an
injunction (or stay). We plan to
continue to contact politicians and
make our voice heard. We hope to
have a progress update for you at
the end of next week. Please
continue to pray and to trust God.
