Panyee FC

In Koh Panyee, 1986, a group of boys wanted to create a soccer team not knowing where it was going to take them. These boys live on a floating village with not a lot of space. How could they make a soccer team? How could they make somewhere to play soccer? The boys from Panyee FC were terrific problem solvers. With teamwork and creativity, a legacy was born.

The boys had  no one to teach them how to play soccer, because no one had ever played the game on the floating village before, so they had to teach themselves. The boys  had to be each others coaches, because no one supported them. This shows that the boys must have had a very good friendship and had faith in each other. The boys had some knowledge on how to play through watching soccer on a small T.V, but that was not enough to become a soccer team . Even though the boys had no one to teach them how to play soccer, they still got so far and almost won a big tournament because they always had faith no matter what. They always found a way to fix their problems.

In order to play soccer with their limited space the boys put their heads together  and they came up with a great a great idea, to make a floating pitch. They made it out of old wood and rafts tied together, even thought it was uneven, had nails sticking out everywhere, and shaky, but they still played on it and had fun. The boys built the pitch all by themselves without any help. Not knowing how to build a pitch they still did it. Without any  grown up help, because no one had faith in them but they still did it and became an amazing soccer team because they alway believe in themselves.

There was a rainstorm when the panyee boys were playing in their big tourment at the semifinals, their shoes were beginning to fill up with water. So they took off their shoes, because  it was normal for them to playing on their bare feet and also had very good foot work from playing on their small pitch. And even the score, unfortunately last minute the other team

scored a goal and they lost the tournament. Even though the boys lost they were still proud of themselves for how far they had come with not knowing how to play then to becoming world champions, now that is amazing to me. The boys always find a way to solve their problems even in the worst of times.

In Conclusion to this essay Panyee FC really showed that you should never give up on your dreams, even if someone does not have faith in you,  keep on going if you fail that just means try a different way. Don’t listen to people who don’t have faith in you or don’t believe in you keep on  going. Follow your dreams, because if you don’t try you will never know what could of happened.

 

Recycling

Today Monica came in and talk to us about recycling and reusing. Our first activity was write or draw 3 things that can be disassembled easily, write or draw 3 things that can’t be disassembled easily, write or draw 3 things that can change shape and how. Monica gave us tin foil to mold and create things out of it. Our second activity she told us to make something we could wear, I made myself a bracelet and held it together with playdoh. Then she told us to unfold our creations and  make something for your partner , I made a ball, because it was really hard to unfold my bracelet and my tin foil ripped so the only thing I could think of was to make a ball.

 

Our third activity was to take bottle caps, pins, nails, and clips out of a box not using are hands so we had to make something out of 3 materials only to help us take the items out of the box and sort them into groups. We got split into 2 groups and worked with a pattern only one tool that we made together, and got assigned one item to take out of the box together. It was really hard not to use your hand to take out the items, I even hurt myself trying to take out one of the pins.

 

Then we learned that how we were sorting all of the items that is what recycling factories have to do every day. We also learned how plastic water bottles get recycled, they get melted the recused into a new item. From all of the actives and learning how we can reuse a lot of things I realized that you don’t always have to throw something away and you can reuse it or make it into something else. How I can help things get recycled easier I can disassemble plastic bottle before I throw them a away and reuse them also carry around a water bottle more so I don’t have to buy a plastic bottle.

For the Constitution project I will be doing the Liberty Bell and making a model of it with a boy mesmerizing the Liberty Bell. I will also be making a little book on the Liberty Bell. I am very excited to do this project and can not wait to share it when I am done!

My plan for the presentation is to have a little wood platform and have a wire holding the Liberty Bell also the Liberty Bell will be made out of model magic and so will the boy, and then have something holding up the book but I have not decide on what is going to be holding it up yet.

The project is going pretty well so far I think the planning is going great for me, the only thing that isn’t going the best for me is that I need to do some more research. Other then that I am pretty much all good.

Philly trip

Philadelphia,  November 9, 2018, it was starting off on a rainy day. The 5th  graders were stepping off of the bus for a great journey ahead of them. The first stop was the National Constitution Center, there were very interesting exhibits in the Constitution Center. The 5th graders were taking pictures or exploring  the exhibits with their groups. After a little while it was time for a show called Living News, it was an mesmerizing show. It gave a good understanding of gun control, freedom of speech, schools searching bags, and capital punishment. In the reporter’s opinion the Living New was one of my  favorite parts of the trip.

Then the 5th graders watch Freedom Rising, it was an eye-popping show. After that the 5th graders ate lunch, and went on to there next stop. The walking tour, the 5th graders were given a tour guide to show us around Independence Square the 5th graders went a courthouse and learned  a lot then went to Independence Hall, the 5th graders saw meeting rooms, courtroom, and the real Rising Sun Chair which in the reporter’s opinion it was amazing to be able to see the real Rising Sun Chair.

The 5th graders final stop was The Liberty Bell, which was an great experience to have, did you know that The Liberty Bell does not only have one crack but two, because when they were   fixing The Liberty bell the fix was the big crack. Sadly the 5th graders memorable trip came to an end, the 5th grader started getting back on to the bus to go back home.

My siblings and I have been really wanting to get a dog, especially me because I love animals a lot . One afternoon I wanted to go see some dogs with my Mom, but then my sister Juliet had an idea that we should look online instead. So that is what we did we were looking on a bunch of websites then we found one called Greenfield Puppies we were looking at all kinds of dogs. Until we remember that we had seen some bich-poos and we thought they were so cute and good dogs so we looked on the website for them, then when my Mom and sister were scrolling through them my sister found Abe my dog. He was only 9 weeks at the time and he was adorable. We were all so excited we sent my Dad and twin brother some pictures and they thought he was also super cute to. My Dad and twin brother came home and we started discussing about the dog, my Dad said that we can only get the dog if we keep it’s giving name Abe , because his grandfather my great father was named Abraham.

So we called up the breeder and told him that we were interested in the dog Abe, A week or so later we headed up to Philadelphia to the Amish country. It was a bit of a raining day, but that’s okay because I was getting a DOG! That I have been wanting  since I was very little. When my family and I saw Abe for the first time we knew he was the one, are dog. Abe is a great puppy and I love him so much.
