First Snow

Feraye Alanyali, 27 November 2017, Fredericton

Today when you woke up you saw snow, like everyone else but some of the exchange students saw the snow for the first time. In Canada snow in winter is so normal but if you live another country where it is warm, seeing snow would be really different and exiting. The exchange student’s will hear this too much: “Don’t be happy because after the winter you will hate snow.” Because we have lots of snow in Fredericton.

Today we didn’t get too much snow, only a bit. Soon we will have more. So snow activities have almost started. You should be prepared; take out your hats, gloves and scarfs.

The snow arrived in Fredericton last week, and international students were speechless.

Nothing special for Fredericton citizens, but this Monday,lots of international students woke up and got amazed facing the white blanket of snow that was covering the streets that morning.

Although lots of them have been skiing or have seen snow before somewhere, none of them are used to seeing snow on the streets.
They were also students who had never seen snow before Monday.They were shocked by how pretty the snow was.

We’ll have lots of snow from now on so fortunately for some people and unfortunately for others we’ll be able to see lost of snow soon.

Hala Bakhash, November 29, 2017
International students and new students in Canada were very excited for the first snowy day in Fradericton . Now they have butterflies in their stomachs waiting to see the snow when it will be a big storm. One student said, “ I like the snow very much and I hope to see the first big storm before I go back to my home country”. They are very excited because there are lots of countries that don’t have snow. It will be very exciting for them to play with snow balls and to build a snowman. Hope they enjoy the winter.

Only two more weeks of school to Christmas break. Everybody gotta be exalted for that. For some exchange student or people just moved to Canada, this might be their first ever Christmas. Because some country they don’t have Christmas. They are gonna have a lot of fun. 
The break will start at December 22nd at noon. That day will just be a half day. The break will end at January 8th. So you got two and a half week of break. At this time there’s enough snow you can go skiing. There so much you can do with snow.

Snowing at the end of November

2017-12-07 14:27:00 UTC

27.11.2017. Fredericton. Leon.
At the beginning of this week, it finally fell some snow after many cold nights. In Germany, we didn't have snow even in December,the last years. So it's pretty "cool" to have a little snow in November. I think, the weather in Canada varies a lot, on Tuesday it was freezing cold, but on Wednesday it's feeling so much warmee. "The only place where snow may fall is in the Alps", says the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung". So in the main land it will still take some time to get snow, if they get snow anyways.
In Germany, the public transport has big problems with snow, so some people hope that there won't be that much snow. But I'm looking forward to have much snow here in Canada.

First day of snow,

The morning of 24th in Fredricton brought an delightful surprise to all of your locals: it was the first day of snow!

All the students were excited to see the first snow of the year, most especially the exchange students. Most of them never saw it before, and some were really sad to be leaving Canada one day before the previstes day for snow. They were very surprised and happy to got to see it before that.

Cafeteria problems

2017-12-07 14:32:56 UTC

Feraye Alanyali, NB, Fredericton

LHHS cafeteria’s food is better than most of the high school but the price is too much. If you want to buy a full lunch it costs 13$. Main meal (pizza, wrap and sandwich) is 5$. drinks change but the fruit juice is 3$, milk is 0.50$ but if you have a lactose intolerance you must pay 3$ for juice. Desserts is between 1.50-5$. If you bought 2 slices pizza, fruit juice and a good dessert you paid around 13$. It’s okay to pay just one day butif you buy your lunch everyday it cost 65$, per mounth is 260$! It’s really too much. Did you ever think about how much money you spend for lunch?

I think the cafeteria could change their prices a little bit. The main dinner price could 1 or 2$ off, depending on the food. Fruit juice for 1$ off and for the desserts 1 or 1.50$ off because the desserts size isn’t too big.

If you use your credi card to pay for your food they charge 0.25$ more. Maybe they could lower this and take 0.10$. It would be nice because most of the students use credi cards for paying their lunch, it is a much esayer way to pay.

Despite this, their cleaning and hygiene is really good so thank you for the cafeteria officials, they do their job very well.

How to survive Canadien winter

2017-12-07 14:44:53 UTC

Michael Yang
Dec 7th 2017
Lots of people that moved to Canada are so scared of the winter here. So I’m going to tell you a few tips to help you survive a canadien winter.
1. Buy the most expensive winter tires you could find. There is a law that you have to change your tires. But it doesn’t matter how good your car is, if you have cheap tires, than it still could be dangerous when you’re on the road. So get the expensive ones and you’ll be safe.
2. Wake up really early if you want Tim Hortons.
If you just moved here, you might not know how long the drive through is in Tim Hortons. There’s usually 20 to 30 cars waiting there in the morning. So if you want coffee that bad. Wake up early or make it at home.
3. Go to the gym and work out your arms
You’re going to do a lot of work outside in winter. Like shoveling snow off your drive way or having a snow ball fight with your family. I mean you gotta win those fight.
4. Be a hockey fan
If you want to make new friends in Canada. You have to like hockey so you guys have something to talk about. You don’t have to play hockey, but you have to know it. Maybe like the same team that your buddy like. Hockey is the most popular sport in Canada. So if you want to be liked in school, start watching hockey.
5. Don’t leave your sports gear in your car overnight
(This one is only for people that plays sports. So if you don’t, skip to the next one.)
You might not think is that bad to leave your gears in the car. But trust me, I learned my lesson from putting my hockey gear in the car. After every game your gear should be really wet because of the sweat. And after one night , it will be ice all over your sport gear .
6. Don’t travel much
In winter you want have less time as possible on the road. If you’re a travel person, save it for summer. Even if you have a good car and tires, it still can be dangerous on the road. And when it’s snowing out, stay home don’t go anywhere unless you really have to. After every time it snows, the road will be all clean up. But when it’s snowing and your driving, that’s where things could happen. So make sure you don’t drive around too much in winter

Bernard Odon, 12.06.2017

Today, Mr. Carrol took his history students to watch a war movie at cineplex. The students had to be in the bus at 9:30 and the movie started at 10:00. “This was an important activity because we learnt with all th fun that we have in a theatre” said Pedro, a student that watched the movie.
Now days, the teachers started planning more programs like this, the students are always connected to technology and teachers are trying to connect learning to technology and they are doing a great job.

Cultures at Leo Hayes

shenry555 — 2017-12-18 14:21:30 UTC

Lara Pomaska
Dec 18 2017
At Leo Hayes there are a lot of different people from around the world for example, exchange students. I’m from Germany, but there are also people from Brazil, Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Turkey, China, Korea, Japan and a lot more. Almost everybody will stay a whole year or longer. I will leave Canada in February. I will be so sad to leave my friends and my second family.

At Leo Hayes there are also students who moved here from Syria and Pakistan because their home countries are not safe and of course there are Canadian students. They are very friendly but sometimes you feel like there kind of annoyed because there are always exchange students in their school. When English is not your first language it’s hard to make new friends but if you are open to everybody and try to talk you will meet new people.

I think it’s a good thing to have so many cultures in one school. You can learn about other countries without traveling and you make contact all over the world.

Homeroom making life easier for students

2017-12-18 14:23:13 UTC

Aidil Jan, December 18, 2017

Students at Leo Hayes are going to Homeroom for 20 minutes each Monday from now on. Leo Hayes High School made some changes in the school and the principle, Guidance, Teachers, and the Office people agreed to make this change that called extended Homeroom. Every Monday, students have to go to their Homeroom after period 2.

This is important because students might not have time to come to class or school and even late to give their homework so they made this Homeroom time to get students are late for class/school to catch up on their class.

For the past few years Leo Hayes High School had Homeroom every single day, the past few months Leo Hayes High School had an extended Homeroom every single Monday.

In conclusion people are more than happy to have an extended homeroom, especially when it's Monday. Also, students are always stressed when it comes to Monday and extended Homeroom somewhat makes their life easier.

Athlete of the month is the place down stairs in the gym that you can see the best players from different sports. They are putting their photos with their name on the wall. And most of the students looking up the wall and seeing them. I'd like to be athelete of the month.

Leon S., Fredericton, 18.12.17
For a few weeks, the chess club has been running in Leo Hayes High school. You can join and participate every Thursday in A245 at lunch. There are many friendly people you can play chess (obviously) with. There's a list where you can sign up your wins and losses. You can just watch and relax, too. You don't need to pay a fee

Leo Hayes soccer needs to improve

2017-12-18 14:44:54 UTC

Parsa Alimohammadi 7/DEC/2017

Leo hayes varsity soccer boys finished the season with 3 losses,5draws and just 2 wins.At the Moncton's tournament they didn't qualify to the knock out stage and ended the tournament in second place in their group.

These results are not really good.If school pay more attention to the soccer,like maintain the soccer field better and allow for more practice sessions,LHHS soccer would be top of school's in New Brunswick

XXMAS WEEK

Fredricton
Leo Hayes is approaching the Christmas break! Only one more week until Christmas. To some it may be a time to relax since they have got everything done and nothing to worry about, but for others it’ll be an awful rush and desperate week since they’re short on time for a lot of projects with deadlines due by the end of the week.

Regardless of which description you may fall into, the SRC students had a way of making the whole week more fun!

A Christmas Holiday week.

It’s basically a couple of shared funny tasks prepared for the students to do. They’re things like wear an ugly sweater or come to school wearing nothing but your pijamas. Definitely a fun way of ending the last week.

The tasks are written on sheaths hung up on the cafeteria’s stage so be sure to check it out.

[Task of today (monday): wear green and red!]

Snow day

2017-12-18 21:55:33 UTC

Abrar AboZalan,December18,2017
In the winter it is every kid's dream, As snowflakes begin to appear, that suddenly there will be a blizzard, And they will cancel school for a day

Though most kids are willing to settle, And i am inclined to agree, They could merely close school for one day-one day off would be just fine with me .

A day free from all forms of home wokrs a day without science or math, when you leave all your school books at home. And run out the door with a laugh. A day full of sledding and hot choclete and snow man who wear dad's old clothes. No writing out boring equntions after lunch when you have rather just doze. A snow days day meant for lounging, where idlenss isn't condemned, A day where you sleep until lunch time, A day that don't want to end.

Feraye Alanyali NB, fredericton 20th December 2017.
As you know it’s almost Christmas. We just have few days left before the breake. At LHHS we have lots of Chismast spirit.
Monday is dress up in red and green day so if you have something red, green or both you should wear them. The lunchtime activity is holiday trivia. Students collected lots of good questions for this game.
Tuesday is jersey. If you don’t know that means, it means dress like a hokey, basketball... players. If you want you can wear your lions team uniforms too. Lunchtime activity is decorating sweaters so if you don’t have a Chismast sweater you can do your own ugly sweater.
Wednesday is ugly sweater day. You can wear your own ugly sweater or you can wear your own decorated ugly sweater from yesterday. Lunchtime activity we have musical gifts, if you are interested in music you should come and check out what we have.
Thursday is dress like a holiday chather day, you can dress like santa, elf, rudolph, grinch... whatever you want as long as it’s about Chismast. Thursday lunchtime activity is make a ginger bread house. Makeing a ginger bread house is probably the most Chismast thing ever.
Friday is pj day and also it’s the last day of school, before Christmas. You can wear your pj at school and be really comfortable the last day of school. We have talent show and you can show your talent to all
School.
I hope you have a really good last weak before Christmas and you don’t need to do all of this activity and dress ups but it’s just good for your own Christmas spirit.

Why people should like hockey

Dec 21 2016
Lots of people that moved here from different countries don’t know alot abort hockey. But hockey is the most popular sport in Canada. Watching hockey is so exciting, it’s a really fast sport. It is not a easy sport, you need to have the speed, power, and have to be smart. You need to make quick decisions in a high speed while 5 other guys on the other team are trying to kill you with a stick. Hockey requires team work and leadership, you are not gonna win if you try to do everything yourself. You need to always forgive yourself while playing. Because you are going to make mistakes on ice but it doesn’t matter anymore on your next shift. You can see now that hockey is not easy. But it is really fun to watch. So I think people should start caring abort hockey.

Canadian people spend alot of rime in the hockey rink in the winter. There are people who do not like hockey. They love soccer, basket ball and other sports, bout in Canada the famous sport is hockey. What do Canadian people think of people who don’t like hockey? According to students, Micheal yang, who doesn’t like hockey? Hockey is the best. They are idiots. Clearly, they think hockey is the best sport.

Leon S., LHHS, 20.12.17
On Monday, there was a concert in LHHS library, the coffee house. Many students played guitar, piano and sang. You could drink tea and coffee or eat cookies and cakes, too. Many people came to watch their friends sing and just relax. But one accident happened. A guitarist hurt himself by strumming the guitar to hard, and his finger began to bleed. But after he taped it, everything was ok.

ART EXPOSITION

Fredricton, December 22 -
Danielle de Castro

Yesterday (Dec, 21) Leo Hayes had an art exposition in the library.

The retired art teacher, Mrs. Holt, supported by Mrs. Leavitt (L.H. art teacher) and inspired by the work of Phillip Iverson, put students of the Fine arts class (room 110) to work on an art exposition where they should do whatever their artistic gut told them to, based on the cultural legacy left by this man before his death.

Students worked their ideas out based on one of the murals placed in the cafeteria, which Iverson himself painted and donated to the school during his time alive.

There were beautiful paintings based on his, inspiring poems written out of his pictures and some of the students original work too. Decorated outfits were also painted with the artwork, exhibited with images related to Iverson’s work.

There were also paintings of the Canadian flag, and the symbolic maple leaf of the country, taking opportunity of this event to also celebrate Canada’s 150 year.

The exposition happed this Monday im the 3rd period. It was an inspiring and delightful exposition for those who appreciate art and also an excellent opportunity to try to understand and get into a new and creative artist mind - the mind of Phillip Iverson.
