#HClassBlog - "We Are The Champions" - March 3, 2026

Hello everyone! My name is Saqeef, 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 sports like volleyball, badminton, and soccer, and I play the trombone, the piano, and the guitar! 

For the FIRST TIME EVER in Sir Arthur Currie P.S. history, our boys volleyball team won the Valley Finals! The boys worked hard and never gave up, and all the work paid off. Three people in our class are on the team. Jackson, Deyaa, and me! Here is a photo of the team!

Badminton season will be starting up soon, the grade 7’s and 8’s of Sir Arthur Currie will be trying out for the team!

We have been learning about algebra, and isolating variables to find a value. A phrase that our class constantly says is, “A letter is a variable, and a variable is a letter.” A variable represents a value that changes and varies, hence the name. We also learned what monomial expressions are along with algebra!

To celebrate Black History Month, our class has written and presented overviews of podcasts made by CBC on famous black Canadians. We present the accomplishments and the hardships and praise the bravery of these people who overcame the impossible. Here is one of the slides, on Jazz legend, Charlie Biddle.

In the gym we played the game “Gold Rush”. A game involving beanbags, jails, and safe zones. Whoever took all six beanbags won, and if you got tagged, you got put in a “jail” on a mat, until someone tagged you out. This game gave our class a good run, and everyone had a great time playing.

Thank you for reading the #HClass25 blog. Tomoya 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 - 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...

Introduction:  Hello everyone! My name is Nishant, 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 outside especially in the summer. Also, my favourite school subject other than gym is science. The Rose:  We had a great lesson from our Teacher Candidate (Student Teacher) Mr. Teixeira who is with us for four weeks from Nipissing University. His lesson was on POV (point of view). Throughout the week he taught us many lessons with care and effectiveness. Another lesson he introduced to us was Algebra, and we loved it.  Mr. Teixeira teaching us floor hockey last week. The Bud:  Our class is waiting for their Sweet Acts of Kindness Lollipops next week. The Sweet Acts of Kindness is a Grade 8 fundraiser that always takes place around Valentine’s Day. Students can purchase lollipops for friends, and they are delivered on February 25. This year the dollar we donated to Humana (a Non Government Organizat...
