Happy Easter everyone … God’s blessings these holidays.
From the English Co-ordinator ...
Have you ever wondered if English really matters in real life? God has given us language and the ability to communicate. This capacity is one important way that we can process change and uncertainty. It even equips us to support, encourage and uplift others.
-
Keep a journal, diary or scrapbook: Our current experience is likely to be a key historical event in your student’s life. Help your student to process this by keeping a written/drawn record of their feelings, experiences, challenges and joys each day. Younger children might draw pictures or stick in notes, flowers or other keepsakes.
-
Writing competitions: There are a number of writing competitions that students can enter independently. If your child enjoys writing (poetry, scripts, short stories), have them check out this poster of competitions and encourage them to share their writing with others.
-
Words are powerful: There are so many ways that we can use language to encourage, inspire, comfort and uplift ourselves and each other. You could write encouraging words or Bible verses on your driveway in chalk; post inspiring words to social media accounts; write letters or FaceTime with family who are far away; keep a family “Thankfulness” jar and write a note each day; and there are many other ideas.
We miss our students. We would love to hear how your family are using these God-given gifts to impact your family, your home and your community in positive ways.
