Don’t Get Caught: A Trailer

Our first course in Humanities; “Story Of My Life”, had us reading a novel and creating a trailer for that novel. If you keep up with my blog (shout out to you if you do) you would know that my book was Don’t Get Caught by Kurt Dinan. This post will be more about the…

Filming Some Footy

After completing a plethora of videos with predominantly set requirements, I was looking forward to working on something with a little bit more creative freedom. So as you can imagine, I was pleasantly surprised when we were given our next assignment and it was yet another video but this time had a lot more room…

Solar Powered Shoe Store

For our first scimatics project of the year, we fused science and math to create a model building that featured solar panels at certain angles we calculated using trigonometry. Before diving in to the project, we needed to get an idea of what we already know, and what we want to know. To do this,…

Re: Creating ‘Funny’ Videos

To kick off the year in true PLP fashion, we got right in to making videos. Last year, our focus was finding stories, and creating videos, and for the beginning of this year, we’re enhancing our video production skills by focusing on the details and learning how to up the quality. Our first assignment was…

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…

Canada’s Rielity

After learning about Canada’s confederation, it was time for us to head westward and move on to learning about the Métis and their fight against Canada. We hopped right in to it and gathered a sense of who the Métis were by completing notes which we collected from an interactive website. This helped us get…

My Oh Meiosis

In our latest science unit, we have been learning about plant reproduction, both sexually and asexually. We cloned both dandelions, and another plant of our choice, and we had to try our best to keep them alive. My group (Adlih, Maggie, and I) had a trickier time with this than others. One of our dandelions…

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…

Brits, Booze, And Bribes

Since the turn of the new year, our Humanities has Class has been focused on “The Road to Confederation”; the process that the colonies took to unify and create the country of Canada just over 150 years ago. We started off by looking at Upper and Lower Canada, and how there was a massive divide…

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…
