So many people are wanting or have jobs at my age and I’m one of those people who wants to work and get my own hard earned money. But do people really know the safety risks of the job they are working and if so do they know how to properly address these safety risks? For me personally the only…

Solar Panel Math Project
“Trigonometry (from Greek trigōnon, “triangle” and metron, “measure”) is a branch of mathematics that studies relationships involving lengths and angles of triangles. The field emerged in the Hellenistic world during the 3rd century BC from applications of geometry to astronomical studies.” This is the Wikipedia definition of trigonometry and before I learned about this during a unit I didn’t know…

World War One soldier project
Since school has started in September, we have been learning about the history of Canada kind of starting off in the time period where we left off from in grade 9. Recently, we went onto learning about what part Canada played in the World War 1 as well as their contributions to this war. This unit was based around one…
Science safety video
Throughout these past few weeks our science class has been going over safety in the classroom as well as introducing units and what we will be learning during this year. Since class started our days have been very planned out which I like as it keeps me very organized and on track of the work that has to be done.…
What Started WW1?
Over this past week, our class has learned about the many different opinions regarding the cause of World War 1. These theories all have plausible answers to “What started World War 1” but historians cannot form one answer towards this question. In my opinion, the overall most likely cause for this massive, destructive war causing around 40 million deaths was…

Camp Capilano
During the first week of school, our class took a 2 day-1 night trip to Camp Capilano, which is a cabin with a pool in North Vancouver. Before the trip we didn’t really know what was going to happen at the camp but we were only told that we would be staying up late and doing projects. This made me…
SMART Goal Setting
With a new school year starting just a couple of weeks ago, this is the first of many blog posts of different projects and assignments that I’m going to be doing in my grade 10 year (third year in PLP). Being in grade 10 means that one of the required courses is Planning which is a course to help us…
The great moments in Canadian history!
Recently in PLP our class did a unit on the most important parts of Canadian history. We learned about everything from colonization and imperialism in early Canada to the building of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Our unit started off with learning about the initial exploration and settlement of both the French and British in Canada. Canada started off with very…
TPOLS!
This year instead of the usual student lead conferences (SLCs), we are doing a more open ended conference meeting called Tpols which are based around a driving question “Why do you feel you are ready to advance to the next grade?” In the past with SLCs, we were given a script that tells us how and what to include in…
Blue Sky
Last week our class finished one of our biggest projects of the year called the blue sky project, these projects we do twice a year and are very open ended projects being based off a inquiry question. This year the project was based off of solving a problem that either babies, children, Tweens, elders, and pets faced. At first I…
