H Class Blog

  Introduction:  Hello! This is Yaksh writing the blog for #HClass24 this week. I enjoy singing and I’m currently a performer in two Choirs. I’m a strong introvert, therefore, I love independent activities or activities that don’t include many people and I get drained after being around lots of people. The Rose:  This week’s rose was our field trip to Trudell Medical Centre , because we got to watch how much work is put into designing and creating better medical tools. Adam, Harun & Cal learn how to use Tool & Die equipment. We also had a great time listening to the songs from the 80’s for our WandaVision projects. The songs were amazing and all the detail into making the slides was just fantastic. Every song from the 80s was voted a bop, including Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Take On Me ! See an example of a research slide below. This week we also started making racing games using a coding program called Scratch. Our class greatly enjoyed learning how to ...

  Introduction:  Hello everyone! I’m Zoya, writing the blog for #HClass24 this week. I can’t wait to share my experiences with you all! I’ll tell you a bit about myself: I love playing badminton, writing stories, and reading. The Rose:  This week’s highlight was when we had our Global School Play Day (GSPD) on Wednesday with Ms. Hislop’s class. GSPD is a global movement where teachers are encouraged to let their students play for an entire day. However, they can not be on screens. Research has shown that play has started to disappear from student live and this day gives kids the chance to reconnect with the excellent social skills that develop when they are allowed to enjoy unstructured play. We took a break from lessons to have fun for the entirety of the day. After some activities in our classroom, we headed to the park to play games and enjoy the playground. Learn more about GSPD here .  The Thorn:   There was no thorn this week. The Bud:  Next week,...

  Introduction: Hello, my name is Tiam, and I will be writing the blog for this week. I like to draw and create stuff that looks good visually. I like playing games like Roblox because it lets me explore different games and lets me use my imagination. The Rose: We watched the first episode of a series called Freaks and Geeks. The episode was about different kinds of bullying that can take place with teenagers. It looked at it in a funny, but thoughtful way.  It had a lot of hilarious moments. Mr. Hodgkinson is checking with our parents to see if we can watch the rest. He says that many of the episodes have good connections to our health and literacy program. The Thorn: The weather was cold, and we had to have an indoor recess on Friday. This weather is the worst because  people can’t help but track water and dirt into our portable.  This means we have to work in a wet and muddy environment. The Bud: We have been working on videos in Geography and next week we are go...
