Story

 Mr. Popper is a rich man obsessed with his work and divorced. His father is an explorer in Antarctica.

When his Father passes away he inherits a penguin, at first he does not want it and tries to send it back. When a box arrives to send it back, it comes with 5 more penguins.

On his son’s birthday the penguins are mistaken for his present. To keep his family happy, Mr Popper kept them and named them, then turned his apartment into a penguin play-zone. He read in a book that cooler temperatures keep them calm.

Mr. Popper tries to return to his old life but realizes that having his family and the penguins’ closer makes him happy.

Would I recommended this movie?

Yes. Because it has good values. Family is more important than work! Shrewd business hurts others. Mr Popper learns this. It is also a great family movie and the best Jim Carrey movie I have ever watched.     

My brother has read the book 'Mr Popper's Penguins' by Richard and Florence Atwater. The movie is apparently not like the movie at all, you can read his book review and see why.

GOAL KEEPER TRAINING

Last week Thursday I started Goalkeeper Training and will have it every Thursday at 3:00pm from now on.

I have been playing goalie for half a season, so far, and haven't had any training. I'm glad that I can get trained and improve my skills.

There were 5 boys, including me. We practised how to stand when the opposing team is about to kick and learnt how to grab the ball. We learnt how to pass the ball by rolling it to the defenders.

I quite enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to the next practice. I am hoping that I will improve my skills and be a better goalie.

Goalkeeper training is much more fun than normal practise

Me and some of the other players practising before the match

Sorry I have not updated about the match on saturday.This week has been quite busy.on saturday we practiced, and then we played.

Me and another goalkeeper had to wait till half time until we could play.when we did play, I started off with a good start and the they started scoring in the end the score was 5-1 for the oposing team.

The other goalkeeper kicking for me

I could say I played quite well.

So far football season is going good. I started on the 2nd of September. I am goalkeeper right now and I am doing quite well. On Saturday we have got our first match the season. We are playing against the older group at the age range of about 11-13. I will give the match details on Saturday-Monday.
