Khmer

In Khmer class, we read a book called”កុលាបប៉ៃលិន”.This book is really famous in Cambodia, there is a lot of teaching things in the story. We also finish our poem and prepare to put in the Junior Khmer Poem book that we plan to create too.

The other special lesson to me was when we learned about Khmer Water Festival(បុណ្យអុំទូក) and one of the Khmer calibration which in Khmer is called “បុណ្យកថិន”. Water festival is happening long ago since King seven-period which is Angkor period and there is even the picture of the water festival on Angkor Wat temple. We celebrate the water festival because we want to remember of when our army in the period of king seven they fight the enemies on the Boeung Tonle Sap which is the biggest lake in Cambodia and we win which the army ride on the boat back and that when we started to have our water festival. In Khmer, we called Water festival is Bon Om Touk. This year Bon Om Touk is happening on Wednesday, November 21 until Friday, November 23. Also Cambodia this year we have a long boat which is also in the Cambodia genius world record. It is 80 m long. Which we will see it on the water festival day soon.

Stem

We have learned a lot of new things in stem especially, we learned about the periodic table and Chemical Bonding. In class, we also did experiment too. Chemical bonding is a lot to understand. Ionic bonds, covalent bonds metallic bonds these are the things that we learned. Those bonding if I haven’t learned I will never know that it can affect that much. Element share electrons in condition to be stable. Ionic bonding is when element gives away the electron to another element. Covalent bonding is when element share electrons together.

This is called the periodic table.

This is the covalent bonding.

And this is called the Ionic bonding.

Precious Plastic Machine

For me, this round exploration is really interesting and it is called the Precious Plastic Machine. In this exploration we have been focusing on making recycle machine however, we have changed our ideas time to time. The ideas that we got from now is when we went on a trip to Siem Reap province and like everyone knows Siem reap is one of the most famous provinces in Cambodia which why a lot of people are also focused on the plastic problem just like we all did.

We went to Naga Earth, and their mission is to protect the environment and to improve public health. We went there we saw the recycled plastic machine which our goals are to create them, but they are very dangerous. We have learned to recycled paper. It is a very interesting way to recycle paper without using any machine and it is really easy that we can recycle it anytime it is not dangerous.

After that, we went to a place called Rehash trash. It is a place where they Turn trash into treasure with fun recycling workshops, they make bracelets or keychain from plastic bags and they also help women because this workshop is the women workshop working, not only help our environment but also help women this is the best workshop I ever saw. We have learned how to make bracelets and a lot more from plastic, then we realized that machine is not everything we can recycle plastic. It is an easy way and it is not dangerous also easy.

No Plastic

Exploration

These following weeks I am in the project or what we called an exploration and it is called NO Plastic. People in the world are facing this problem too so which mean it is a really big problem to our world and planet, and because it is a big problem we only focus on our school also with only the single used plastic. The single-use plastic means that the plastic that people only use one time and threw it away and here are some examples of single-use plastic: Plastic bags, Plastic cups, Straw etc. Even though it looks like it is just a single plastic it would be easy for people to stop using them ,but the single used plastic is the most common and easiest thing to use so everyone would be so hard if there no more single-use plastic like the snack wrap and it so hard to make people get used to the new habit of not using single-use plastic. By many reasons that I just mentioned before right now we are only focused on straw because we feel like it is just a small part of the plastic, but it is a huge problem. We have been discussing in class and find a new solution of what can we replace with the plastic straw and finally, we started to try to use the metal straw. After talking about the plastic straw we started to think about the plastic bags. It is also like plastic straw because of it too simple that people never think that it is a big problem anymore and we think that we have another way to stop our students from using the plastic straw and the plastic bags and we decided to give each of our student one metal straw and one fabric bag. Now we are hoping that people will understand that the simple thing of plastic is the hardest thing for them to stop using it. This is a statement by Denis Waitley” The truth is, you don’t break a bad habit; you replace it with a good one”.
