You probably don’t know this but I’m in a band!

Theres me up top, yes I am a lead singer and am going to be doing a gig on live tv, and I am going to be interviewed on radio.

Btw : the wacky costume was for our 80s concert.

I love the feeling of being up in front of a crowd and singing, it feels amazing! When we sung a U2 song we got the crowd to turn on their phone flashlights and wave them in the dark – magical experience.

Theres me on the right, I did a collaboration with another band!

Well, that’s all for now and I hope you all learned something new about me!

Here’s my post for my “Student Led Conference”. What I am most proud of is either the DI project where I was the main character in the play and testing of the machine or my Blue Sky project as I put lots of time and effort into that and I still had lots of fun! The work I think I showed the most growth in was one of our socrative quizzes, as I showed all of what I learned in class, as me and my partner had very good answers, and got only 1 or 2 questions wrong. And the work that showed my growth mindset would probably have to be part of the DI project as all of us thought we weren’t gonna do good or make a functioning vehicle, but I believed and we were successful in many things, such as the “Divinci” award, which was the only solo award in the whole tournament.

I hope you enjoyed what I had to say and learned some cool things that I have accomplished.

A while back all of the PLP class did different plays based on different scenes of the famous Julius Caesar play. Except the only difference of the play, was that we put a modern twist on it so it was like present life now. We all did great plays and I thought it was a wonderful experience, we came up with our own scenarios, costumes and script.  My groups play was based on act 2 scene 3 of the Julius Caesar play and was modernized into a classroom president election Sofia and I were both main characters and acted as Brad and Ana, the two competitors for the election, we had similar things to the actual play, such as when Brutus “Brad” killed the class pet or hamster, and Antony “Ana” pointed that out to make the kids of the school sad and vote for her. Overall the play was wonderful, and I hope I get an experience like that again.

Here are some pictures of the play:

Me as my character “Brad”

Recently the whole PLP class has been working very hard on their DI (Destinaton Imagination) projects, and we have recently finished our tournaments. Each DI group had a different challenge, there was four groups of us and each of our groups had 1 different challenge. My group had the technical challenge “Pace of Change”, where we built a vehicle that carried one of our team members: me, the vehicle had to be propelled by a motor or something along those lines. The next challenge was the Scientific challenge “In Plain Sight” where you studied organisms and how they camouflage. After that came the Structural challenge “Musical Mashup” Where you made a musical structure that could be played and support weight. And finally the Fine Arts challenge “Get a Clue” where you almost make up a 90’s mystery show.

At the tournament all of us had a great time and lots of challenges, at the end of our tournament the awards ceremony promised us many things, and all of the teams did great, and my team, the pace of change group won the only solo award “The Divinci Award” for a creative story. Anyways the tournament went very well for all of us and we made a great finish to make it to provincials.

Here are some pictures of our tournament.

The end bow.

Next our group got invited to provincials! This was another great experience, and there were kids from China and Alberta too. Before we went, we made a few changes to our vehicle and set off to finish in second place!

I am hoping we can make it to globals to really show our creation and creativity. Our group works and has already worked really well together. DI is a wonderful place to show what you and your classmates can do! I hope we can make it to globals, as there will be 8 wildcards, meaning 8 different teams will be picked to go to the global championships in Tennessee.
