H Class Blog

  Hello everyone! My name is Mohammed, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass25. I am a Grade 6 student at Sir Arthur Currie and I enjoy swimming and food.  The Rose: Last week we watched an episode of “The Twilight Zone” called “The Monsters are due on Maple Street”. This episode of the 1960s television series is about people getting suspicious and paranoid when electric devices and radios stop working after a meteor passes overhead. We connected it to our discussion of critical thinking and making decisions without all the information. We also compare it to a poem called “Witch Hunt” by Neil Peart.  We had leftover chips from our class party, so we got to eat those too. The Thorn: Our fellow classmate Jana is moving. Her last day was Friday [That's sad].We wish her luck at her new school.  The Bud: We are excited to see our 60s “WandaVison” slides. Each week, we look at a different decade and, secretly, four students share a slide with information a...

I am a Grade 7 student at Sir Arthur Currie and I enjoy playing sports and learning complex math. The Rose: One of the best things we had last week was a snow day! We had a snow day because we had about 20 - 25cm of snow, so we were able to stay home for the whole day, which gave us time to finish our work or play games. The Thorn: The worst thing that happened last week was actually the weather .It was super slushy and we couldn't play one of our favorite games, soccer, and had to stay on the tarmac during recess most of last week. Our field before the snow day came. The Bud: We are extremely excited about Maddox’s Oreo milkshake presentation which he is really proud about presenting. We've b...

Introduction: Hello everyone! The #HClassBlog returns for the sixth year. Each week, a different student will share the events of our class with readers -- our authentic audience. We use a writing framework organized around a Rose - where the Bloom represents what we enjoyed the most, the Bud represents what we are looking forward to (and will likely write about on our next blog) and the Thorn highlights any challenges from the previous week. This week, we will be writing the blog as a class The Rose: We decided that our Rose for the week was returning to school to see our friends again. We all had a fun and safe winter break, but it is nice to be back. We hope you had a terrific winter break too. The Thorn: The slushy, rainy January weather has arrived. That meant a few indoor recess periods. For some people, who hate the cold, these are a good things. However, most of us love to get outside to play. Our field is shut down because of weather - boo. The Bud: Next week, a few brave stud...
