#HClass Blog by Jai - January 23

 Introduction

My name is Jai and I am 12 years old.  I am in Mr. Hodgkinson’s grade 7 class. I love school. Some of my favorite subjects are gym, math and art. This week was a good week. 

The Rose

We are finally back to in-person learning. To start off the week we are working on Canadian History! We are researching a question of our choice from a MultiMedia Hyperdoc that Mr. Hodgkinson created for us and then we will make a brochure using Google Forms. I have chosen to " “Analyse the displacement experienced by various groups and communities, including First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities, who were living in or who came to Canada between 1713 and 1800”

We worked so hard that on Friday, Ms. Davis gave us a break. We watched The Amazing Spider-Man with lots of snacks and we got to wear PJ’s.

We started reading Front Desk by Kelly Yang from our online week of school. The two weeks we read it, then played a Kahoot trivia based on the chapters that we read. 

The Thorn

There weren't any thorns this week. Only one thing was we didn’t get to see Mr. Hodgkinson again because he is still recovering from his surgery. Other than that there were no thorns at all.

Mathematical Mentions

We have been learning about Motion Geometry. We are using all four quadrants of the Cartesian Plane and are moving objects around them through translation, rotation and reflection.

The Bud 

Something we look forward to is for Mr. Hodgkinson to come back. For the week online we didn’t have him and for the week in person we also didn’t have him. We hope he gets better soon and joins us again soon.

#HClass24 - It's automatic, it's systematic, it's hyyyyyydromalic, it's Grease Lighting! - December 3, 2024

  Introduction:  Hello, my name is Takshi! This week I will write the blog for #HClass24. I like playing the guitar, reading, writing, and scrapbooking. I’m also an author of a novelette (It’s almost published). The Rose:  This Wednesday, we went to Saint Andre Bessette High School to see Grease Jr. It was a great musical and the class loved the songs. The actors were exceptionally good and what surprised me the most was the live band also made up of high school students! The band was behind the set, though you could still see it. Overall, the class loved the performance! The Thorn:   Our Thorn of The Week was the cold weather. Unfortunately, it’s extremely windy and cold outside. It also started to snow on Thursday! The temperatures have dropped into the negatives and the wind has picked up quickly.  The Bud: We will get another chance to hang out with our Kindergarten Buddies on Monday. My buddy is Arielle and I look forward to reading and creating with her. ...

#HClassBlog - "Mr. Song's Moustache" - April 21, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Anakin, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing golf, playing video games and sketching. I am more introverted so I prefer being by myself. The Rose:  We have enjoyed three, 4-day weeks in a row because of Easter and a PD Day. So, we got a nice long break from school and some short weeks in-between. It had to be the best part of this month so far. We also had our first Dance/Social on Friday. It was a lot of fun. Me and Taym trying some dance moves. The Thorn:  Unfortunately, our student teacher Mrs. Seaby has left us. She finished her placement with our class. The good news is that she is now qualified to be a teacher and she can get paid for her hard work. Maybe, one day, she could come back like Mr. Song did. She might even come back with a mustache like Mr. Song did – but probably not. Ms. Seaby on our Pizza Dough making day. The Bud:  We have been working with an ...

#HClassBlog - "I lost so much money in the stock market game" - April 7, 2025

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Mason, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass24. I enjoy doing many things, like playing basketball, playing the piano and drawing. I am an extrovert and love hanging out with friends and family. The Rose: This week, we started a project called “Holiday or Holinay.” Everyone in our class gets a certain day to research holidays that are associated with it. Then we decide if it’s (A Holiday) or if it’s just pure trash (A HoliNay). Each student creates an engaging presentation with ridiculous sound effects to help us make the presentation more enchanting. For example, I have May 7 which is National Barrier Awareness Day. I would call that a HoliDAY because it is a time to recognize barriers that exist for people with disabilities. May 7 is also National Carnivorous Plant Day. I would call that a HoliNAY because a plant has no idea it is a holiday. Sure, botanists and plant lovers might want to celebrate this day; but I think the...
