Hi peoples! Today I’m going talk about BLUE SKY!!! Sense it is the last blog post I’m going to write of this year you should enjoy it. First let me explain Blue Sky, Blue Sky Is one of my classes big projects that we do every year. (this is the first year we got to do it though) Essentially what it is, is a product we make to help fix a problem going on our community. The problem I was trying to fix was how parents that like jogging but sense you need to hands to pump your arms it’s kinda difficult hold to the stroller. So what I made was a free hand jogger. How it works is there is a trap that goes around your waist a spring in the middle and two poles coming out the side that have clamps so you can attach them to the stroller handle.

Making this project was really fun! My plan to create it was I would get the materials, what I needed to get was an spring, a long PVC pipe, PVC pipe connectors and a fabric strap. First I would plan out how long it would take me to build each part. Once I had that planned out I just start creating. The first thing I created was the spring (the part that would go in the middle) then I measure how long I needed to the PVC pipe, I cut it at arms length so you would have room to pump your arms but have the stroller in arms length. After a had done that i just had to test it. Testing I was a little bit difficult because i dint actually have a stroller, but I figured out a way to test it. Finally I was finished! (If you want to see the time lapse of me making it, watch the video below.

It felt great to actually have it done! But there was still some other thing that i needed to do. Before the expedition (that’s what we call it) we had to make a little presentation that explains all about what we had made. Somethings we had to include was our launch journal. OurLaunch journal is a little notebook that we kept to record all the steps from coming up with the idea to creating it. The day of the expedition went a lot better i thought it would be. Everyone asked a lot of questions and they all liked my product. (If you want to see my launch journal below show most of my work)

This was for sure a awesome project! And i am so excited to do it all over again next year!

K bye ✌️

Hello and welcome to my tPOLS! Today I am going to talk about projects I have done this year, my goal for next year and how I am going to get there. First let’s talk about some of my favourite projects I have done.

My favourite in humanities is Blue Sky. I liked this project the best because there was no limit in what to make. All it had to include was how it was going to help a problem. My idea was a waist band that would be attached to a stroller handle so when you are jogging your hands are free but the stroller is secured in front of you. If you would like to know more below I will show pictures of my brainstorming.    

Now it’s maker. Maker was really really really fun this year I really enjoyed it. The biggest project we did was definitely DI I liked DI because it was an awesome way to express your selfs, learn new things and meet new people. I would Explain DI as one big group working together to make an amazing presentation. It was very stressful but brought the class closer and was a learning experience. It also improved presentation skills in front of an audience. If you would like to know more about DI I will link my DI blog post below.

Ok let’s talk science. We didn’t do many project but the one I liked the best was we had to write a book about tectonic plates but in a was kids could understand. Here it is if you would like to read it.

Sadly in math we didn’t do any big projects projects. But we did do TONS of work sheets. And I really enjoyed those to be honest.

PGP time! Okay now let’s talk about my experience with PGP. Now I’m just going to say hi his now PGP is not my favourite thing, but that’s ok because even if I didn’t like it, PGP has helped me become a better student and a better learner.

My goals for next year include staying on top of work, putting in all my effort and have positive look on what your doing!

Now my plan for next year is to have my main goal in mind at all times! (Always have a positive attitude!). If I can do that all year round I know that I will enjoy what I’m doing way more!

K bye ✌️

In my class we have an extra class called PGP. PGP is all about goal setting and helping us stay on track with homework it also about helping us become a better person. PGP has helped me so much this year with handing in work on time, putting in my best effort and letting me know doesn’t matter when the do date is what matters is that you finish it know you did your best instead of saying “well I did it”. 

I’m going to talk about our time machine.A time machine is a self reflection about all the stuff we learnt about in PGP. In my case I did a photo collage/comic. Down below is a representation of how PGP has helping improve as a student and as a person. 

Now it’s time to explain.

 In the first panel is show me frustrated and confused. I was trying to represent that before PGP it was hard to stay on top of all my homework and other stuff going on in my life. 

Next panel I’m am showing that at first PGP was boring and I didn’t think it was going to help me at all. 

Panel number 3 shows after some time it got interesting. I was more involved and was kinda enjoying what we were doing. 

Number 4 represents the book we read called The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective Teens. Reading this book really helped me gain perspective of the world (I know that sound very cheesy but it’s true). 

In 5 shows that that’s when we started using the app Things and Calendar. Both of these apps have really helped me keep on top of things. 

Number 6 represents me thinking about graduating and thinking about how much easier it will be.

7 panel is all about me feeling good about finishing all my wrk on time and checking it off in Things.

Number 8 shows when that PGP has helped me soooo much throw out the year.

And last but not least panel number 9 represents how excited I am to do it all over again. (Kinda)

 

K bye✌️
