#HClassBlog - "What's a teetotaler, Mr. H?" - November 16, 2022

Quote of the week: "What's a teetotaler, Mr. H?" a question that was asked when the word came up in our read-aloud.

Introduction:


Hello all! My name is Satayish and I'm the one writing this week's class blog! I love to swim and play volleyball in my free time. I play with my family and friends, at school, at home...pretty much everywhere. I would go on and on about myself but I know you're a reader that’s interested in this blog! Enjoy!


The Rose:


I feel like there were numerous roses last week. One exciting rose is that last week, we confirmed our tickets to see Elf at the Grande Theatre in London! People were also excited that the strike had ended and we were back on track! 

There were a few birthdays in the classroom - including E., T. and Y. (I'm just using their first initial to protect their identity) Two more to go and, boom, we will all be twelve-years-old.

The Thorn: 


The thorn from last week was that one of our classmates, Tyler, is moving out of the city. We said "goodbye" to him on Friday at the end of the school day. He's going to stay in touch with us through social media and in Google Classroom.



The Bud:


I would say that the bud for the upcoming week is the volleyball intramural finals for the Red, Yellow, Blue and Green teams. Volleyball intramurals were made available to Grade 7 & 8 students who did not make the competitive volleyball team. It's been fun and the Grade 7s are building their skills to make the team in 2023.

Picture day retakes are also on the calendar. A bud for me is that my birthday will arrive!!




Literacy Learnings & Science Studies:


We continued reading the book Thirst, which is where we heard the word "teaetotaler" and got our quote of the week. We did some Lion Shapegrams and did some research on our favorite exotic animals and their biomes. I did the Giant Panda as my favorite animal because they are just the cutest animals on the earth, aside from cats and dogs. Did you know that pandas don’t only eat bamboo but they can eat more than that, including carrion and eggs. The Lion Shapegram was a mix of science and literacy. Here is my Slide, with the Panda I created in Google Draw.



Well, that's it for me. Thanks for reading. Next week, Karthika will be our blogger.

#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...
