Today was the last day to work and let me tell you is was the most stressful project I have ever done. My team and I stared to make sure that all of are ramps and bored are all secured. We stared to put all of the pieces we all on the bored. Then we tested it and it didn’t work so we had to  figure out ways that we can make it better so we called one of the parents for a minute or two to help. It took 64 try’s till we got the treat to go into the bowl. The first thing we noticed on the project that was not working it the pulley had to be  adjusted in a way that I won’t make the marble got off our board after we made a lot of changes and it was so stressful thing but after all of the hard work we  finally made it in. My team and I later had to make a video at school when we finished the video we where so glad to be done. I loved this project and it was such a good experience!!

This our video! come and check it out.

Today me and my group work really hard but we made a lot of progress. Today we set up the ramp and put are first wood boards, after that are group started to us the material that are around us like we used a egg that was fake and we took apart a a doll bed for the wood  boreds. My team and I started to test out what we build slowly and slowly. We figured out that the peg bored that we used did not have a lot of room so we had to strategize ways that everything can fit. When we did most of are sketch  On the peg bored so we decided that we test what we had so far and it worked!! I was really happy that we had came all this way in one day.

Today me and my group made another plan and got so much work done. We where so worried that we where behind in the building process so we got together.The first thing we did was take apart a toy car ramp to make a ramp, I know it sounds funny but trust me it will be great. My team and I had to figure out strategies because it was a little to heavy, then we came to conclusion the it was to heavy to hold with a glue gun so we took a peg bored hook to hold some of it up but the top of the ramp came down so we put a paper towel roles to hold it up. I think that this time we got a lot done and I hope to get more done next plans we make!

♻ Recycling ♻

Ms Boyer had one of her friends come in, her name is Monica. Monica studding design and engineering. Monica’s lesson today with us was about recycling and how we can make more use out of things, such as tinfoil,water bottles. I learned that when you put something to go to the recycling center they melt it first, I thought that was insane because that can take longer to devolve. It was amazing that something like tinfoil can be made into you own creation for example I made a bow tie, it was really a cool experience. I got to know things that I never know that was true. This is the packet that we did, it was a true learning  experience

100 seconds of pin knockdown

This is our 100th day project. Me and my partner Kate have worked really hard on this to make it prefect!

 

100 seconds of pin knockdown

 

4 players maximum

 

How to play

 

Shuffle the deck of number cards

 

Set up the pins so the numbers written on it are rightside up

 

The youngest person will go first

 

Get the timer ready

 

Flip the timer. When you knock a pin down, look at the number on the side the pin landed on. Choose a number card and look at the number on the card. It is your choice whether you want to multiply or add the two numbers. Keep working with the same pin number until you are through all the number cards.

 

Whoever does the most math problems in 100 seconds wins

The Magnificent Boys by Nicole

Have you ever had to wake up and make your own breakfast? That is easy, right? For these boys in a small floating village in Southern Thailand in the story of panyee fc, they started with nothing and built a champion soccer team. The boys had to work extra hard because they had to do everything for themselves.

The boys had to build their own pitch, they had no space where they lived so they thought and thought until they had the idea .They had to strategize ways to build the pitch. “We started by collecting some old wood from around the village.”  “The pitch did not come out so good because it was shaky,uneven, and had some nails sticking out everywhere.” The boys had to use what is around them to build the pitch. They were very creative in what they did. This show they did all the thinking and planning for themselves.

Do you play soccer? And do you have a soccer coach? Well for these boys they had to be their own coaches. In the text it states “the pitch was small so our footwork was really good.” This shows they learned to use a small space. The pitch was small so when the ball went in the water so did they that made the pitch wet. In the text it states “so we had to learn to play on a wet slippery surface. When one of the boys got a flyer from the mainland to be a part of the Panyee FC cup, they decided to play and had to enter themselves  because they had no coach. When they were in the game it started to rain really hard “our boots filled with water which slowed us down,” this shows that they had to strategize ways to not make them slow down. So they thought back to when they were on the pitch “so we got rid of our boots.” “Playing in bear foot is more comfortable for all of us” This shows they had to use what they know.

Have you ever been told by someone that you can’t do something? Well that what all the boys got told by the villagers “look around. Look where you live” this shows that they did not think that they were not capable to play soccer and build a pitch but they ignored them and said. “We’re starting a football team. We are going to be in the world championship” This show that did not pay any mind to what they had to say. At first it took awhile to figure out what they were going to do’’ Panyhee Cup “should we” “I’m not sure” “we didn’t know if we were good enough to enter” this show that they where unsure of is going to happen next to them. The boys had themselves to go to because all of the villagers did not believe in them.

The boys learned that no matter what happens that there is always to solve  problems and to sick together and not let someone tell them what to do. What I learned form Panyee Fc is to set goals for myself and never give up on my dreams.
