Jesus is the Way

Crucified with crown of thorns

The Truth and the Life—Abel T.

Dear Parents,

On Mar.23, our students pre-

sented their Easter chapel to a

packed audience. This year’s

theme was “Jesus is the Way,

the Truth and the Life,” refer-

encing John 14:6.

Thanks to Miss Bishop, Mrs.

Dekker and volunteer Patty

Robinson for working with our

bell choirs; thanks to Mrs.

Turner and Mrs. Symons for

preparing our junior choir with

energetic praise songs; thanks to

choreographers Megan D. and

Melina Smiciklas for creating

interpretive dance depicting the

crucifixion and resurrection of

our Lord; and a special thank

you to Miss Bishop who orga-

nized this year’s program, creat-

ed a junior choir and worked

with her students to create

Easter haikus.

A haiku is a short poem com-

prising 3 lines of 5 syllables, 7

syllables and 5 syllables. Ideas

and words must be chosen

carefully to meet this format.

Here are our Gr.5/6 haikus:

Crown of thorns, blood, pain

Rose from the grave, conquered

sins

Everlasting life—Juliette H.

Jesus bled and died

On the cross He died for us

And we forget Him—Jason F.

Loving Son of God

He chose to be crucified

And die for our sins—David K.

From cross to heaven

The perfect Lamb our Savior

He took all the sin—Dax M.

Crown of thorns on head

They made Him carry his cross

Savior of the world—Matthew P.

Bore the crown of thorns

Jesus was tortured to death

Jesus is love—Josh S.

Jesus died for us

Conquered death so we are free

Heaven waits for me—Ethan S.

French Easter Poetry

Madame Symons worked with Makenna W. to produce this Easter

poetry, a job well done— “Tres

bien!”

Jesus notre Sauveur

L’agneau parfait a verse son sang

Il est mort sur l’arbre mauvais.

Jesus nous aime beaucoup

Il est mort comme charpentier

L’amour parfait a couru rouge.

L’amour parfait a change au sang

Le Sauveur ressuscite

Il a paye pour notre liberte.

Students in Fundraising Kids’ Club enjoyed colour-

ing Easter eggs!

Our Gr.1 students recently

performed the timeless story

of “The Little Red Hen” be-

fore a select audience of par-

ents and other primary stu-

dents. Everyone enjoyed the

performance by narrators

Cassandra D., Isabel F., Maris-

sa W., Abbygail F. and Hailey

C., while Jace P., Olivia F., Lily S. and Carter N. performed as

the animals who were reluc-

tant to help the little red hen.

Our little red hen was played

following her as her little yel-

low chick. Well done, Gr.1!
