#HClassBlog - "What's Up Jequavious!?" - April 18, 2024

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 create something we are passionate about. We will have a “Genius Hour Gallery” in May and are inviting our parents and other members of the school community. 

Thorn: 

It was a four day week with no thorn.


Bud: 

This week's bud is looking forward to creating Earth Day crafts with our buddies. Another bud will come on Tuesday and Wednesday when  Mr. Hodgkinson is working as a mentor at another school. As a result,   our teacher candidate Mrs. Finlyason will get to run the class without him.   


Math Mentions: 

This week we reviewed the surface area of rectangular and triangular prisms. These are taught in Grade 5 and 6, but we all needed a refresher before moving on to cylinders next week. We also used the program Knowledgehook to help us practice.  

The note from our digital math journal.

Science:

We are nearly finished with our Heat unit. Mr. Hodgkinson is letting us decide what questions should be on the unit test. We will then use the study tools we have available to prepare for it. Next up, it’s Form and Function.

Student Appreciation: 

This week we are celebrating Sameeksha. She is always doing outstanding work, especially her art. She is also a calm, kind member of our classroom community.

In the following week, Dany will be writing our class blog.

#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...
