Henry! Touch grass! - April 27

Funny Quote of the week: "Henry! Touch Grass!" said by multiple people who want Henry to stay positive by touching the grass.

Introduction ~

Hi, my name is Andrew, and I’m writing this week’s blog. My favourite subjects are Music and Math. I enjoy spending time with friends & learning music. I am going to tell you about what has been going on over the past two weeks. We had a four day weekend and two four day weeks on either side, so it all went by really quickly.

The Rose ~

This week, we started a Mystery Unit because everyone was done presenting their Lighting Talks. We have each been assigned a character and we have to look for clues to find out more about them, their multiple intelligences, their true colors and their secrets. Eventually, we will make a webpage to reveal all we have uncovered.

We also had two new guest educators work with our class when Mr. Hodgkinson had to attend meetings. Ms. Murray and Dr. Rethazi were recently in the Teachers’ College program at Western University. Our class was one of the first classes they got to teach.


The Thorn ~


There was no thorn this week. Both weeks were short and a lot of fun.


Literacy Links ~

The class also learned about media literacy and did some writing about media that we use. The questions we were asked to answer were:

  • What form of media do you consume the most?

  • Why?

  • How do you use this form of media?

  • Which form of media do you consume the least?

  • Why? 

  • Do you think this will change in the future? Why or Why not?


I wrote about YouTube and Discord, they are my favourites. A lot of my classmates use Snapchat, TikTok and Instagram, but those are not interesting to me. This might change in high school when I meet new friends and they are on those social media platforms.


Physical Education ~


We got a chance to try Drumfit in gym class. It is an activity where we get drumsticks and big rubber balls. We drum and move our bodies around the ball in time with a music video. It is sort of like music, dance and physical activity combined. It was okay. I wasn’t really a fan. I would rather play games.


The Bud ~


We also did a test for music. If we passed we are allowed to sign out instruments and take them home. I passed, I am learning the trumpet.

That is this week's blog. There weren't a lot of things to talk about this week but I hope you enjoyed it.

#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...
