Year In Review (Student Response 8)

As your first year of Middle School draws to a close, I would like for you to think about the overall success of your school year. Let me be the first to tell you that I have very much enjoyed the time we've spent together and I appreciate the enthusiasm, good attitude and keeness of your group. I will certainly miss you all next year. So, give our readers a "Year In Review" in this final post. Give us an overview of your grade 6 year. You may tell a story or talk about a friend or just rant and rave (make it publishable). I'd love to hear your thoughts. :)

I thought that Harkins was a great school the socials are fun the teachers are cool too. It was hard though the homework from French and sc.studies were hard and there was allot of it but it pushed us enough to actually learn something. Overall this year was GREAT!

I Pretty Much adored this year cause i made new friends(Bailey,Caleigh,Riley,Sarah,etc)
and i liked being in a new place.So Basicly I Had fun and im looking forward to next year for grade 7!

It was cool my first though when i saw the school was that it was so small. But when i stepped inside it was huge. The homework was hard and i wasent doing so well. But now i know the secret because cole and i would always compete for better grades and cooler projects we would push each other to our best so i found someone to compete with and there it was my grades went back up again.

I thought grade 6 was the best, I was really nervous at the beggining of the year because i thought the teachers would be mean, and that id get lost in the school, but looks like i was wrong! The teachers were the best, The dances were really fun, and i didnt get lost in the school! I really loved the events that happend at this school. This year i made lots of new friends, I thought i had alot of friends in the fith grade but now i have even more! I love it when you get all A's on your report card and you get a pizza party. I wish Mlle Barrieau and Mlle Miousse would be my teachers next year!

thank you

I think that I had a graetyear at Harkins. We had some very hard homework such as assignments in French and social studies and math. Some of it was backbreaking work! my favorite subjects were LA and Exploratory. my least favorite was social studies because we had the hardest work in it. Overall, I had a great year at Harkins Middle School.

I enjoyed my first few months at Harkins m.s. since I didn't start in the beginning of the school year,but sometimes their are teasing and bullying. Not that their isn't suppose to be but it's middle school who can blame them. Sure it's like a roller coaster it has it's ups and downs but it's still a pretty good school. And I enjoyed my first year of middle school.

RB2P said...

I guess this year was pretty good, despite all the homework. (1) We went on fun field trips (2) and we had fun activities. (3) The senteos rocked, (4) and most of us got great marks! (5)

I don't really care becaus its just another year of school. I don't get how pepole say you can get lost, its just strait hallways. No turns, or detours. It did'nt seam hard, it kinda felt easyer. Probuly becaus grade 5 prepares you. I don't know what to say about the teachers, its weird some are mean, some are nice. The thing I like the most about grade six, is that I inprouved so much on all of my subjects, it feels awsome!

JM15P! for the last time! no mo school!

SA1P said...

My first year in Harkins Middle School was a pretty good year for me. Because I did good in my grades and had good teachers that tought me good enough to pass. Miss.Barrieau was a very great teacher and helped me a lot with my work and homework in class. I will miss grade 6th and all my teachers I had.

The first year of middle school was pretty new and cool, I was really glad i had my own locker for the first time in my life. The school work was also harder than in grade 5 I'm really happy I'm going into seventh grade though. it was really fun this year with the dances and all but I can't wait until summer break.

TB5p said...

The summer before entering grade 6 I was scared of Harkins Middle School because for one, I always thought that I would get lost and be late for class which would slowly turn into detentions.
But looking on the bright side of this wonderful embracing school year. I have won numerous awards like the no-idleing poster challenge and made it to the class finals for the English Language Arts speeche on the wonders of dark chocolate.
I have also made many new friends from other schools and renewed friendships with old ones. There have been so much laughter and so many moments of joy, like walking into the school for the first dance and just hanging out and dancing with my friends.
I can't wait to return to Harkins Middle School in the fall to start yet another great school year.

eb4p said...

I have very much liked this first year of middle.I like the fact that we can now go to dances.The classes were easier then i thought they would be. I really like my teachers, their really nice.I love the exploratory classes,their very fun.

This year at Harkins was quite...umm...different. Why don't we focus on the more humerous parts, like my friends. I've made new friends with KD, GS and AB strengthend bonds with old ones, like SG and TB. TB laughed very hard when I faked that heart attack a couple days back.
I also met this cool guy that I went to pre-school with and had a jolly good deal of fun with that I hadn't seen in like six years. I also learned many things about myself:
#1- I am very bad at bowling.
#2- I dance like my pants are on fire.
#3- I am good at not breaking band saws,
My God this was a good year and hope that the next is just as cool. :)

This year was a blast i never ever had a teacher as fun and amusing as Mlle . Barrieau she is a technology Queen .

mm15t said...

Grade 6 was a really fun year for me because I got to experience something I had never really experienced be for, like all the dances and having a lot of homework and the French. I also liked our trip to Fredericton and I also met really nice teachers her. I had a lot of fun having a smart class this year I learned a lot about technology. I really had a fun year in grade 6. mm15t

This year in grade 6 I enjyed using the snteos and Notebook 10 it make it more fun to learn and do tests. I really like middle school because you get to met new people and you get more freedom and there is dances and a longer lunch hour .

Anonymous said...

I say this year was great, a little short, but great through and through. My favorit classes were math, exploritory, gym, art and language arts. Another thing I liked about this year is I made alot of new friends like William, Jordan, Ryan and alot others.

I tink this year made me feel alot better about moving again. I hope grade 7 is as much fun as this year.

bp18t - bailey parker 18 tardive said...

For the year end review I think that it will be extremely hard to leave miss miousse and miss barrieau to go onto grade seven but this grade six year I find has been very educational in so many ways like smart note book and getting to use the smart bracelets and also having the awesome people from the Netherlands come and visit us for a day it was fun and getting taped and everything on a camera also when times were rough I always had my bffs Ashley sarah and riley they r awesome .even though it will be hard to leave all the teachers it will be fun to get onto grade seven and have a new beginning.
Id like to give big thanks to all the teachers that have helped especially Miss Barrieau Miss Miousse and miss silkier our 3 week substitute.

HD5T said...

My first year at Harkins middle school was so much fun! It was a very good experience. I had such a good year working with Miss. Barrieau and all of her Technology. We did a lot of projects and activities involving technology and it was a lot of fun to use things such as the document camera, the senteos, the SMART bracelets and all of the other techno things I haven’t used or heard of before. Also I will miss the teachers as they have helped me a lot this year, Miss. Barrieau, Miss. Miousse and Miss. Siliker. I had a great year!!!

I had a great year using all the SMART stuff like the sentoes and i love going up and using the SMART borad i also love using the wierless slate the sentoes i dont really like becaues the turn off like when we were doinng the math assment. but it is cool that were the SMART showcase classroom! and my favorite memorie was when they video taped our class. the best of all was that i think you can learn better when you use tecnolige because its better then writing notes or trying to understand the teachers messy writing on the chalk board. thats what all the class learend on no tecnolige day man that showed us that were luckey to have stuff lke the SMART borad and everything.
thanks for everything miss.barrieau :D

I think that this school year was awsome. There was really no bad thing about Harkins. I can't wait until 7 grade but. The best thing about Harkins is that you can make a lot of friends but I only made a few more friends and I also got to keep my old friends from Croft. I will definitely miss all of the teachers teaching me because they were probably the best teachers ever.

harkins was not as bad as i thought it would be,I thought the homework would keep me up late, it did not,but some day it will come.I thougt the work would be hard, but it was not that hard i had sometimes that i had no idea what to do but i found out what to do in the end.I was excited about lokers but when we used them there was mno room between them so at times it was hard to get to them.I thought that the classes would be hard to get to because I was home sick the day that my class went to the school.Thesocials where alot of fun and it got me away from my sister some night,and i got to spend time with my friends.So at now i can't wait tell next year! sf8p
