Image
Quote: “What's up Jequavious!?” said Dany as he dabbed-up our invisible classmate. Introduction :  Hi friends, families and peers, my name is Hana and I’m writing the weekly blog for our class. I like to swim, read, and learn  math. I also enjoy running, track, and other sports. Outside of school, I do competitive swimming in a team called LAC (London Aquatic Centre). I also play flute in our school band who, by the way, are starting to sound amazing. We are currently preparing for the Spring Concert. It is a Movies Theme. We are playing sections from Beauty and The Beast, and Pirates of the Caribbean as well as Eye of the Tiger from Survivor. It was in the movie Rocky .  Rose :  This week, we had an eclipse so we had a day off. We also had our first Genius Hour.  For anyone who doesn’t know what a Genius Hour is, it is a chance for each of us to be provided class time to create a passion project. Mr. Hodgkinson has given us 4-6 hours of independent time to cr...

Quote: “Hey, this tastes delicious!” Rhianna says while eating a raw piece of pizza dough.   Introduction :  Hello everyone, my name is Emma and I’m writing the weekly blog for our class. I’m an athletic kid and I play multiple sports. My favorite sports are basketball, soccer and football. I also love to read, draw, write, music and I am a big fan of the outdoors. That's me on the right. Rose :  This week, the class made pizza dough, as you might have guessed from by the quote at the start of this blog. While making the dough, we all were busy having a good time, filling the Makerspace  with laughter and loud noises. A few pictures from our pizza dough making day. We also got to watch an excellent Freaks & Geeks episode. In it, we learned  more about the character Nick and some of the mistakes he has made in his past. Nick “wears his heart on his sleeve” and that gets him into social challenges sometimes. We've been talking about plot mountains and th...

#HClassBlog - “Can’t We Just Play Already” - April 5, 2024

Quote: “Can’t We Just Play Already” shouted  during an outside game of octopus when Aleena had stumbled and had fallen to the ground. Introduction :  What’s up everyone? My name is Renato and I’m writing the weekly blog for our class. I’m an athletic kid and play multiple sports ; The sports I play are soccer, badminton, and volleyball. I also love cooking and spending time with friends and family. Rose :  This week, we completed  our Black History Month unit with a Blooket test. Mr. Hodgkinson  created questions from our podcast presentations and put them on the test. Mr. Hodgkinson provided a study Blooket test for us  to practice. That obviously helped a lot (and students took good advantage of it to prepare) since our class average was a 92%. Thanks to Mr. Hodgkinson for providing us support. Thorn :  This week's thorn goes to our French projects. The reason this is our thorn is because only four students finished their French interview projects b...
