Hello!
In keeping with the theme of my blog (late blog posts), here is the latest addition to my tardy collection: The Winter Exhibition!
PLP hosts an exhibition every year before Winter Break, which shows off a project that each student has been working on. This year’s theme, as you may have guessed, is Star Wars! I was excited about this theme, because Star Wars is one of my favourite series.
(Side note: I’m pretty sure I said the exact same thing in this Scimatics blog post. Oops!)
Hello!
Welcome to another Scimatics blog post! It’s been a while since I posted. Missed me?
This unit was about light (for Science) and the Pythagorean Theorem (for Math). The theme for this project was especially interesting though: Star Wars!
Every year, PLP host a Winter Exhibition, which shows off the work that the students have done to the general public. The theme this year was Star Wars, (hooray!) since the new addition to the saga, The Rise of Skywalker, came out recently. I was really excited about this theme, since the Star Wars movies are some of my favourites!

Hello!
Wow. It’s the end of the Student Blogging Challenge. These 8 weeks seem to have sped by, so fast that I’ve been having trouble keeping up with them! This post is about my experience participating in the challenge and what I have learned about it.
This challenge has been super fun, and in my opinion I’ve really grown as a blogger these past weeks. If you compare my first post at the beginning to this one now, I think you’ll see a dramatic difference. Here’s a brief review of all of my Student Blogging Challenge posts this year.
Hello!
I am not behind on this blog post! Hooray for me!
The Student Blogging Challenge for Week 7 is all about holidays. My family celebrates lots of different holidays, and they’re always big family occasions. I am half-Jewish, half-Christian (though I myself don’t really follow either religion) so we have a lot of holidays to celebrate!
In this post, though, I will be focusing on a holiday tradition that my family has been doing for ages. Gingerbread houses! Every year around December, my cousins and my family all go to my grandparents house to decorate gingerbread houses. It’s a really fun activity, where we socialize, craft, and eat loads of candy!
Hello!
For a few weeks my Maker class has been working on a unit called The Power Of A Pencil. In this class we learned how to use our Apple Pencils and the technology on our iPads, such as Sketches Pro and Keynote. It was fun to play around and doodle on these apps, and we got to experiment with different tools.
This unit had a driving question that we thought about in the back of our mind as we sketched. The question was
How can we use our pencils to enhance our learning?
Since we only had a few weeks to work on this project, it wasn’t super complicated, and we learned pretty fast. This question will be the driving force behind this blog post, and I will attempt to answer it.
Hello!
I am still behind on my blog posts, but I’m catching up. I only need to finish two more!
Onto the actual post. This week for the Student Blogging Challenge, the topic is emojis! Emojis are fun and expressive, but I don’t use them that often, so this will be fun!
The first task that I am going to complete in this post is to write an story based on a prompt from byrdseed.com/emoji. It provides random emojis that you can translate into a story. Here is mine:
Hello!
First of all, I would just like to apologize for my third (fourth?) late blog post in a row. To be fair, I have been away for a week, but I still really need to catch up.
Now that that’s over with, I can get on with the blog post!
For the 5th week of the Student Blogging Challenge, our assignment is to write about music. I’m not much of a musician myself, having quit several different instruments, but I do enjoy listening to music and appreciate good songs when I hear them.
One thing I thought I would write about, since I’ve been in Connecticut and New York for the past week, is Broadway musicals. I am a huge fan of theatre and musicals, and I’ve seen a few, mostly as movies, though earlier this year I had the chance to watch some in the Broadway Across Canada tour. This week I was lucky enough to see the real thing.

Hello!
We recently finished a project called The Medium is The Message. It taught us all about advertising and how it influences the world. The driving question that persisted throughout this project was
How does what we hear, read and see influence us?
I will try to answer that question in this blog post.
In this project we had a lot of Milestones that taught us about advertising, it’s effect, and how to use it well.
Hello!
Now, you might be thinking: What’s this, Evelyn? Why the sudden interest in grains?
Let me clarify. If you’ve read my About Me page, you would know that Barley is my puppy!
We brought Barley home from a breeder near Mission, BC. He is a 5-and-a-half month old goldendoodle. Some of his favourite pastimes include licking ice cubes, eating leaves from our backyard, cuddling, and playing with this squeaky chicken toy that our grandparents got for him.
Hello!
My PLP 8 cohort recently completed a field study in Oregon. How exciting! It was really cool to travel around as a class and learn about all the amazing places we saw.
While we were in Oregon we had an assignment to complete. We had to make a book about all the different places we visited. It had to include photos, videos, drawings and text to describe the experience.
