Very Very Reactive

Ever since the completion of our algebra unit, our time up in Scimathics has been spent learning about chemistry, and working to create presentations about a reaction of our choice. This was basically our first time doing chemistry, and I was looking forward to getting to do some super sciency science stuff for the first…

Disregarding Doubt

IIf you have been following my blog since the beginning, by now you may have seen a pattern in terms of what kind of work I, alongside my classmates, are doing at certain times of the year. Within PLP there are a few annual traditions that we always know are coming, yet they still remain…

Is Paul McCartney Crazy?

We are now less than a month away from our first PLP Trip Of the year to Seattle, and the surrounding unit known as Cray Cray Yay Yay is underway. After watching Apples ‘Think Different’ commercial from the 1997 campaign, we were tasked with choosing an individual who was featured in the campaign, and presenting…

Shin Shields

As you may know, at the end of each year, PLP holds an exhibition where we, the students, showcase our Blue Sky project. The idea behind Blue Sky is to create a product that solves a problem. Our job is to come up with a question, or problem, and decide how we should go about…

Cookies And Guns

To cap off the year, our final math project was based around the topic of correlation vs. causation. I have never learnt about this before so I was curious as to what the unit would consist of. We started by learning what the two terms actually mean. We learned that causation refers to when one…

Symphony Quest

Over the past couple months, PLP 9 has been hard at work on our “Like Terms Project” in math class. This project came after we completed our unit in which was mainly about like terms and polynomials. We learned that like terms are terms whose variables are raised to the power, which means we can…

Destination Complication

The last time I talked about Destination Imagination on this page, I was reflecting on last year’s performance and how I dressed up as a fairy and pranced around stage. This year things went a little different, and that’s what I’m here to talk about; Destination Imagination 2018. Coming in to this year’s competition, we…

Star Wars Exhibition

To wrap up both the first term and 2017 itself, PLP held its annual Winter Exhibtion, a night in which PLP students showcase the projects they have been preparing. The topic of your project depends on what grade you are in. For instance, this year, the grade 8 and 9s topic was Star Wars, and…

The Year In Review

This year was a fresh start, a new life for me to build and navigate, and can I just say, I think I did a damn good job. Starting off by scratching everything I knew about school, and focussing on a new way of learning, I instantly felt the difference. I remember walking to school…

Changing Is Always Awkward…

Fifteen hundred years ago the idea that God wasn’t real was insane. In the 1950’s the idea that someone could have a portable mobile phone capable with more storage than a fifty ton computer was simply out of question. Yet here we are in 2017 and not everyone’s life is dictated by God, and if…
