#HClassBlog - "I love kids when they're stupid." (overheard in class) - February 17, 2026

 Introduction: 

Hello everyone! My name is Caroline, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass25. I am a Grade 7 student at Sir Arthur Currie and I enjoy playing soccer and socializing with friends!

The Rose:

We finally had a Carnaval! After 2 weeks of getting ready and learning about the annual Quebecois festival. We learned how the event will be run what rotations and the group assignments.  We had tons of fun and next year grade 6's will take our spot as  group leaders while we will become station leaders!

The Thorn:

On Friday we lost our access to Chromebooks because some members of our class were making inappropriate choices with them. We talked as a class and plan to fix this when we return.

The Bud:

Next week we have a four day week because we have Monday off for Family Day.

Math Mentions:

Our class is doing ratios in this unit, we are in the middle of understanding, one more week and the whole class should understand! Here is an example of the kind of problems we need to solve.

History Happenings:

We have started to create presentations for Black History Month. Each of us has been assigned a short (2 minute) CBC podcast from a series called Portraits of Black Canadians. We listen to the podcast and create a short, visual and oral presentation to help our classmates review the information we have learned  I was assigned Portia White. She was a teacher and an opera singer in the 1930s to 1950s. 

Health & Fitness:

We started a floor hockey unit to help celebrate the Winter Olympics.  Students were able to choose to play in the competitive group or the fun group. I chose the fun group and we had an excellent time. 

Next Week:
Nishant will be writing the blog next week.

#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...

#HClassBlog - The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street - January 28, 2026

  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...
