#HClassBlog - "I forgot to use Cowabunga!!" - April 3, 2026

Introduction: 

Hello everyone! My name is Josiah 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 basketball, volleyball, track and field as well  as mingling around with friends and family and, most importantly, going to church.

The Rose:

We got to play fun gym games for a full hour with the other grade 6-7 class on Thursday. Then, we got to rest our bodies and minds with a four-day Easter weekend. We also have a four day school week coming up.

The Bud:

Next week, we're going to watch the movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty movie along with having that easy four day week! We did activities in literacy this week to prepare to watch the film.

Art Activities: 

We finished our Landscape Line Drawings - here is an example.

Literacy Leanings: 

As I mentioned earlier, we will be watching a movie about a guy with a boring life who daydreams a lot. It is based on a short story of the same name, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. We learned new vocabulary by playing the game Balderdash. We also completed a Quick Write about daydreaming and the importance it can play in our lives.

Math Mentions:

The grade 6’s and 7’s will continue learning about motion geometry. This includes translation, reflection and transformation of objects on a two-dimensional plane – called a Cartesian Plane.

Sensational Science!:

The grade 6’s have been learning about flight in science while  the 7’s  learned  about landforms in Geography. We combined our classes for this. Mr. Campbell worked with the Grade 6’s while Mr. Hodgkinson worked with the 7’s. Next week, we will be designing an infographic poster on the landforms in a region of the world. 

Next Week: Oba 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...
