#HClassBlog - "I almost got tripped by that framework" (Mr. Song) - February, 20, 2025

 

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 make and play our own game designs.

This week was also the start of the rehearsals for the Lion King Jr. play. We got a nice little break due to a snow day, it was a great time to work on our other projects. We are still currently working on our racing games because lot’s of people want to add extra levels to them.


The Thorn:

Our Thorn of The Week was that, unfortunately, it was still slippery and freezing cold outside. Due to a snow day we could not work on our food truck project which we had to work on with partners.

The Bud: 

Next week, some grade 7s, from all three classes, will be performing in a character trait assembly for respect. It looks quite challenging but it will be fun. 


Math Mentions: 

We continued to work on our Food Truck projects. We have determined food costs with large order discounts, restaurant mark-ups and taxes. Next week, we will finish our websites with our logo and slogan and menu and a computer program that will work as a cash register for our truck.


Gym Glimpse:

This week, we started a new unit in gym…floor hockey! Additionally, the girls’ and the boys’ badminton tryouts are starting next week and the number of people that came to the first meeting was incredible. About 200 Grade 7 & 8 students are interested in trying out for the teams.  


Science Salute:

In Science, we started a new unit with Mr. Song, Structures. This week we focused on identifying what the different parts of a structure are and what the different kinds of structures are. We learned there are actually multiple factors in a structure such as frames, bases, and walls. This week we are starting a new project about identifying what kind of benefits are in the structure you choose and what type of structures are in it. 

Next Week: Yasmin 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...
