WW1: Canada’s Defining Year’s

Since the beginning of March, much of my time both in school and out, has been taken up by the very fascinating unit all about WW1. I will just start off by saying that I loved this unit, and thoroughly enjoyed the learning and assignments that came with it. I started this unit knowing fairly…

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…

Máquina de Metáfora

For the past month or so, me and my classmates have been working on a PLP classic project; Metaphor Machines. Our task was to choose a revolution, then build a Rube Goldberg machine in which each action on the machine was a metaphor for something that happened in our revolution. My group which consisted of…

This Didn’t Go To Plan…

Wow. Ok. After an extra three weeks of stress, frustration and utter confusion, I’m finally finished. So here it is; my Frankenstuffy Video… Hopefully you actually watched the video and didn’t just skip down to here, because if that’s the case then there’s a good chance you will be confused with what I am about…

Every Ship Needs A Captain

Born 1898 in Connecticut, Crane Brinton would go on to write “The Anatomy Of Revolution”, a theory the rest of the world would use as criteria to classify a revolution from a revolt. He believed there were four stages to a revolution; and for an event to be classified as a full-blown revolution, they had…

Exploring Exploration

This was one of the last units of the year, and it was a very short one. From the moment Ms. Willemse introduced it, we were set to spend roughly 2-3 weeks learning about the topic; exploration. Seeing as this was a short unit, we obviously didn’t cover everything in the world of exploration (haha)….

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…

Turns Out The GPS Worked…

Going in to Destination Imagination provincials is like riding a new bike. You’ve already learnt how to do the activity, but you aren’t sure if you are going to be able to adjust to the new features. Neither Regionals nor Provincials went as originally planned. Having said that, I’m not totally sure if that’s a…
