NBE3U students' literacy circles are discussing and analyzing the novel "Moon of the Crusted Snow". One of the roles is "artist" where they create images that represent a scene from the novel. Check out some of the work so far! @TLDSB @HHSS_RedHawks @waub
NBE3U students travelled to Toronto today to see "The Land Acknowledgement, or As You Like It". Great experience including a question period with the creator after the play where students asked questions and learned more about the production! @TLDSB @HHSS_RedHawks @Mirvish
NBE3U students raided our collection of books by Indigenous authors today! Can't wait to see what they think of the books they chose to read. Some amazing authors in the collection! @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
CHC2DE students hosted a museum of Canadian history today for their Culminating assignments. Students chose themes within Canadian history and created expositions to represent their theme from 1914-today. Loved seeing the creativity and passion! @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
The CHC2DE class started off today with a competition to choose Canada's new flag! We looked at ones submitted for consideration in 1964 then students designed and voted on a new design. Here are the top three! Which would you prefer? @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
Had a great french and history themed day as we tried traditional French foods at the Toronto Christmas market and (almost) successfully escaped in our Canadian history themed escape rooms at @CasaLomaToronto! @escapecasaloma @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
NBE3C students finished creating our StoryWalk today using the book "The Orange Shirt Story". The walk follows the forest path from JDH to HHSS, and allows those completing it to reflect on the impact of Residential Schools in Canada. @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB_FNIM #OrangeShirtDay
NBE3C students participated in the blanket exercise today and gained greater knowledge about the impact of Canada's actions towards Indigenous Peoples throughout history. Thank you to all those who shared their stories and knowledge. @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB_FNIM
Great first Interact meeting of the year! Can't wait to see what we accomplish in this new school year. @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB #rotary
One last photo! A group shot celebrating our last evening in Quebec City. @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
Our trip to Quebec City has officially come to an end, as we head home with a bus full of tired students (and teachers!). Had a great time! @TLDSB @HHSS_RedHawks #quebeccity
We had our annual music battle in FSF1D today, where students chose songs from Francophone countries around the world, and we voted on a class favourite! For the second year in a row #Indila won, this time with her song Ainsi Bas la Vida. @HHSS_RedHawks

Absolutely loving our ENG3C class doing Reading Buddies with the Grade 1/2 class! @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
Beautiful day for a tour! Students chose locations around the school and wrote stories using the past tense in French, then acted as tour guides as we toured the grounds. We learned where the cafeteria gets its food, how a rock got its name, and more! @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB #fsl
Our Ukraine week is off to a great start! Bake sale, flower crown making, and live music led by the Leadership Class and #Interact. All proceeds from this week's events will go to support the Ukraine. @TLDSB @HHSS_RedHawks
The competition was underway today as ENG3C students compared elements of different children's books to decide which was the best example of children's literature. Wolf Island was the winner! Students will use their learning to help write their own books. @HHSS_RedHawks @TLDSB
