Mountain Christian School 1

Alas! the month of love is upon us. A time to demonstrate more than

ever, our christian DNA to friends, family and people in need of our

love. To us, February is a month of sacrifice and giving. Not only of

our gifts and treats, but of our time, words and little acts of Kindness.

This month, the Grade 5’s will be learning about God’s kind of love

and how he demonstrates it through the lives of his servants

Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but more so, what it means to love thy

neigbour, and to honour our parents with love.

It is also the month of ALL THINGS SCIENCE. As we begin more

rigorously our science fair projects and complete our study and

practice of the scientific method. Please note that the Science Fair

Homework Packets have been sent home and are due every Friday

until the 3rd of March.

Finally, we will be wrapping up the month celebrating PINK T-Shirt

day on the 26th and celebrating each other’s successes as we look

unto the last stretch in our second trimester.

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming events.

Have a splendid month!

STORY’S ABOUT OUR AWESOME MUSCLES

GLUTEUS MAXIMUS

By Aleah Coutts

My teacher's favorite

muscle is the Gluteus Maximus.

I don't know why it's the

Gluteus Maximus but it is. I

thought it would be the Face or

the Cardiac but no it's Gluteus

Maximus. My favorite muscles

are the Biceps, Deltoids and

Quadriceps. Some of my

friends’ favorite muscles are

the Abdominal and the

Pectorals.

Types of Muscles in the

Human Body

By Olivia Koutstaal

In your body you have many

muscles. Some of your muscles

are your Abdominals, Biceps,

Pectorals, Deltoids, Quadriceps,

and your Gluteus Maximus. Your

Biceps is your arm muscle. Your

Abdominals are your abs.

Deltoids is your shoulder

muscle, and your Quadriceps is

your leg muscle. All of these

muscles are the main muscles in

your body.

Short Words in the World of

Neverland

By Hannah Donovan

In the world of neverland

nothing interesting happens.

People are too lazy to say words,

so they make the words short.

For example delts is for

detimore. Pecs is for pectin. Abs

is for abstract art. Quads is for

quadruplets. And last but not

least, glutes is for gluten free.

Billy, Bob, and Joe

By Julie Morrow

Once There was a man named

Joe with no glutes or pecs. He

was really sad because he got

bullied for not having them. One

day he met a man named Billy

Billy and another man named

Bob. Billy extremely sore delts

and quads and Bob had no Abs.

Billy, Bob, and Joe were on the

news for the strange conditions

soon they became famous and

nobody bullied them and they

became the happiest kids on

earth.

MUSCLES

BY Mathew Marshall

Gluteus Maximus

Are you sitting? If yes, you are

sitting on your “gluteus”. This is

that is under the skin and fat in

your behind.

Biceps

When you make a muscle in your

arm, you are tensing your biceps.

You can sometimes see it push

up under your skin.

Quadriceps

Located on the front of your

thighs, usually called “quads”.

Runners, bikers and athletes

who use their legs develop

strong and large quads.

Abdominals

Below the pec and under the rib

cage are muscles that are most

often called “abs” for short.

You feel these when you are

doing sit-ups.

Deltoids

Often called “delts”, located in

the shoulders; you use them

when you shrug your shoulders

when you don't know the answer.

Face

The face has many muscles that

are not directly attached to the

bone; attached under the skin.

It takes 17 muscles to smile, and

all 43 to frown.

bunny kicked him in Cardiac with

his Abdominal, And then the

mouse and the bunny became

enemies.

The End

The Cow

By Emma Spitz

Once upon a time there was a

cow. Usually cows aren’t

anything special but this cow

was. This cow was. This cow had

enormous abs and humongous

pecs. The cow’s delts were

always poking out of his body

and it was truly disgusting.

There was also another thing

that was remarkable about this

cow though. Whenever the cow

wanted to, it would turn itself

into a metal bar. Mean kids

would always throw really big

rocks at the cow’s glutes. The

cow would always get mad and

then turn itself into a metal bar.

The kids would always laugh and

play on the bar but when

someone pulled on the bar the

cow would get milked. The kids

would scream, and the cow would

turn into a real cow again. The

kids would try to run away but

the cow would just lay on them

and then eat them. So if you

ever see a metal bar that has a

cow head and tail, run.

Pec’s

By Lewis Goertzen

Once upon a time there

were two pecs. The pecs

neighbors were the abs. The abs

were really talkative. The pec’s

were so annoyed they decided to

move by the quads.

The quads were quiet,

and it was to peaceful. The pecs

were asking the quads questions,

but the quads ignored them.

They tried yoga to occupy

themselves. The pecs were way

to bored so they moved to the

glutes.

The pecs almost

settled in until the body sat

down. The pecs were almost

going to settle in by the glutes.

The pecs were going to try to

move by the delts. When they

tried to move to the delts they

were in surgery. The pecs

realized they had to go back.

The pecs moved back by the

abs.

THE_END

The Bunny and the

Mouse.

By Caleb Esselink

Once upon a time there was a

BIG FAT bunny that pooped out

of his very small Gluteus

Maximus, but his neighbor was a

small mouse, and he was in his

hole, and when he opened the

door to his hole he saw the

bunny pooping, so he shut the

door, and his face looked very

disgusted. That night, the bunny

and mouse had a fight about

their privacy, so the bunny

punched the mouse with his

biceps, and the mouse brought

out his Pecs, when the bunny saw

the Pecs he ran away. The next

morning, the bunny walked to his

neighbors house, and when the

mouse opened the door, the
