#HClassBlog - "That''s The Breaks" - April 22, 2026

Introduction: 

Hello everyone! My name is Hera, and this week, I will be writing the blog for #HClass25. I am a Grade 7 student at Sir Arthur Currie and I enjoy spending time with my friends, playing volleyball and practicing karate.


The Rose:

This week our class went to the park for our gym period! We had lots of fun playing soccer, volleyball and badminton outside and enjoyed the nice weather this week.

The Thorn:

Unfortunately, our classmate, Hadley, has been sick for a few weeks. We sent her some get well videos and are hoping she can come back soon! Feel better Hadley! 

The Bud:

Next week we have a school dance on Thursday, April 23rd. It is after school and many of us are excited about going.

Literacy Leanings:

This week we learned about thesis statements. The grade 6s are learning how to include the question in their statement. We are also doing a Hip Hop History unit with Kurtis Blow’s “The Breaks”. We are learning about rhyme schemes like AABB rhyme patterns, internal, and end rhyme.

Math Mentions:

On Thursday we reviewed how to measure area and perimeter of circles because we will be learning about cylinders soon. The grade 6s are also starting their EQAO prep to prepare for the test.

Health & Fitness: 

For gym this week we played Kickball and T Ball. T Ball is great for the grade 7 Slo Pitch tryouts that are coming up. Our school has also started a new Volleyball Intramurals club. It is for grade 6s and 7s who did not make the team this year and are looking to improve their skills.



Next Week:
Yena will be writing the blog next week, stay tuned!

#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...
