One of our assignment in our class was to make a project for the heritage fair that relates to Canadian history. I did my project on my grandfather (a whaler). I wrote about how he worked at the last whaling station in Canada and all sorts of other things. You might be wondering what whaling is well it is were humans harpoon whales and eat the meat of the whale. We also use whales blubber and melt it in to oil, the ivory from the teeth and ambergris which can be used for perfumes. 

I presented my project to the class and I made it to the district fair (the next round). At the district fair we had to present our projects to the judges first and then we were able to participate in some activities. We went to a museum, an aviation (flight) library, and a artifacts room. The following day the projects were presented to the public and the awards ceremony took place. Me and one other student from my class advanced to the regionals in Port Alberni.

The day started with judging as well. Once the judging session was completed the other students and I went to the Alberni Valley Museum, we saw a clever machine that showed us what changes the temperature of the earth. There was also rock displays in the museum.

The next activity was the library which was interesting but not my favourite. My favourite activity was the mill. We road on a train for about half an hour to the mill where we got off for the tour. The tour was great I was able to observe the whole process of the logging chopping and processing of the wood.

The following day was time for the public to have a look at our projects. Once that was finished there was an awards ceremony, I won the committee choice award but they didn’t tell us who is advancing to the next round, they will be telling us next week. I will let you know if I make it

Thanks for reading. Leave a comment and tell me about projects in your class.
