#HClassBlog - "A wildfire can move more than a football field a second - you can't outrun it." - November 11, 2024

 Introduction:

Hello, my name is Cal and this week I will write the blog of #HClass24. Currently I’m on the Sir Arthur Currie boys basketball team. I also just finished a London Jr Knights tournament over the weekend. We won our first 3 games and then we lost in the quarter-finals against a good US team. I finished the weekend with 2 goals and 2 assists. 

The Rose:

Learning about Micro Bits with Thames Valley Technology expert Mr. Tangredi to learn about artificial intelligence and its role in farming. Also, Mr. Koivu, our Guest educator on Tuesday took us to the park because we had worked so hard. Personally I played basketball with some friends and I was “cooking.”

The Thorn:

The thorn this week involved our Pumpkin Time Bombs. We brought in too many pumpkins, so we had to wait for some to explode before we had enough rubber bands.  As a result, it took a little longer and one rotted over the weekend. Mr. Hodgkinson says he learned a lesson - Nine pumpkins maximum. We had 13. 


The Bud:


Mr. Haas will be our new Teacher Candidate -- he is on his first placement from Western University. We get to be his first class ever. 


Science:


As part of our Ecosystems, we watched and episode of CNN’s Violent Earth. -  It was a sad story about wildfires in California and how many homes got destroyed. Also tons of people tragically died or got injured.

Math Mentions:


This week we focused on finding the area of a circle. We did a few entrance tickets on them and most people did well. We also followed up with a flashback and many people did great. I have to write mine this week because I was away at that hockey tournament.


Geography:


We are working on our geography projects this week. You have to pick a location that is significant  to you and explain its “relevant location”. In other words, you find some roads/landmarks or shops that are close to your location that can describe using Cardinal and Intercardinal directions.

You need to write two paragraphs, one  for someone who is familiar with London and someone who is less familiar with London. Those people just know major streets and compass directions. We also get to create a digital representation of the building. I picked the Western Fair Sportsplex. See below.

Next Week:  Arfa will write the 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...
