For Take Your Kid To Work Day my mum took me all around Vancouver to check out open houses and to show me what her day as a realtor looks like! For context my mum is a buyer, and seller agent realtor, and she is apart of the Kelsie & Morgan Group here in Vancouver. I’ve been to her office, and open houses before, so it isn’t completely new to me. My mum surprised me with the locations of…
Run, and make sure to not look back! “Lights-Camera-Action!” During our recent maker project, we focussed on videography, aiming to recreate an original short film titled “Run!” to extend our filmmaking skills, and to practice our editing and group work. Here’s an overview of our journey: We formed small groups, and my team came together to plan our project. We crafted a storyboard, assigned roles, and outlined the timing and angles. With this done, we efficiently filmed all the necessary…

This project was all about the west, we had two driving questions, one for maker and one for humanities. This is my humanities blog post, you can check out the maker post here. The humanities driving question was “How has…
When I stepped on to that Seycove bus at 6 am, I was not expecting the ride too be so long, I can’t remember how many times I fell asleep in the weirdest ways, but I had two things that kept me going my music, and my friends, oh and can’t forget Mr Harris’s music 🤘 Hello, and welcome back to my blog!

With only 1 week left of school, the spring exhibition was a great way to end the year! I think this was a great experience, and to be clear, my first exhibition! It was pretty crazy, but super fun, and I’d say pretty successful! For this exhibition we displayed and presented our ads, when we went on the Oregon field study (check out my blogpost about that here:) we each had a business to interview. The business my group and…

Hello and welcome to yet another blogpost! In this blog post I will be talking all about what we have been doing in humanities lately. We have really been focussing on colonizing, also known as the greedy people who take over land, and hang out on ships.

Lately in science we have been working towards answering the driving question: how does the behaviour of atoms influence the properties of solids, liquids, and gasses? For this we did 3 keystones, and object description, an experiment, and a video game pitch, so we could complete our final end product the video game. First keystone: Who am I? Our first keystone in this project was where we got to pick one random object in the room, and right a few…
