Descobridores de Catan

 Ainda a bordo do nosso barco, desenhámos o mapa da nossa ilha: a Ilha de Catan!
Como não poderia deixar de ser, era hexagonal e desenhámos aldeias, desertos, estradas, animais e... tesouros!Claro, já viram uma ilha sem tesouros?!(Ou sem cogumelos?)
 Assim que desembarcámos, seguimos as pistas, deixadas no caminho. E com a ajuda dos preciosos mapas, evitámos os índios canibais (e segundo dizem, perigosos) que por ali andavam...
 Num lindo bosque da Ilha( Jardim dos 7 Castelos, Oeiras), encontrámos um tesouro. De chocolate! Mesmo onde estava o X, e foi lá que decidimos construir a nossa aldeia,
 e onde descobrimos que o musgo tem Norte (sabiam?),
 Pusemos mãos ao trabalho e pés nas poças,
 sempre com a nossa folha protectora de índios canibais-e-perigosos,
 e construimos um abrigo, mesmo a tempo de uma chuvada!
 Depois, metemo-nos novamente no nosso barco e rumámos à Biblioteca Municipal de Oeiras,
onde passámos umas boas horas a ler, a brincar com os amigos e a viajar com a nossa imaginação!
Até breve, Catan! Até breve,  ilha de aventura!

Índios por um dia

 Num dia bonito de Outono,jogámos aos "ossinhos"(jogo índio),
 fizemos arcos e flechas, colares de penas, apanhámos lenha para a fogueira,
 pintámos as nossas caras de guerreiros com azeitonas esmagadas,
 e fizemos os totems protectores da nossa tribo...
 Os habitantes do nosso território também apareceram ( ver projecto charcoscomvida):
 Assim como a chuva...a nossa dança à volta da fogueira (apagada) resultou!
Foi um dia bem passado, não acham?

"I will not obey"

"No, obedience is an idea for people who would have control over you because they know otherwise you will not do it. When people call for obedience it's because they know that they are demanding that someone act in a way contrary to their own best interest or against their own judgment. Obedience demands that you either doubt or ignore what you know is right, which is how atrocities both great and small occur.

I'm afraid for children who have been taught obedience because we know that things learned in childhood last a lifetime.

I do not want a child who obeys. I want a child who understands. And when she must, I want her to say, "I will not obey."


I Will Not Obey
By Utah Phillips

The new ruling party is holding the aces;
The rest of the cards are all missing faces.
I'm sorry, I can't know you today.
What can one say?
I will not obey.

Give us your sons and give us your daughters;
No one is safe or immune from the slaughter.
How indifference makes them rage.
What can one say?
I will not obey.

National Guard or freedom fighters,
All houses belong to cigarette lighters.
But who hides in the smoke?
What can one say?
I will not obey.

Better perhaps to perish outside
Of the bunkers where our generals hide.
I turn away and spit.
What can one say?
I will not obey.

Give us the minds of your children to learn
The substance of books we have not yet burned.
But can they read the sky for rain?
What can one say?
I will not obey.

Soon all tyrants will feel our impatience;
We choose to create our own combinations.
I was always willing to agree.
What can one say?
I will not obey.

The essence of contract is agreement,
Not coercion or obedience.
And agreement is sacred.
What can one say?
I will not obey.

There are so few wars of people's liberation,
for the people have so seldom risen,
Only the armed faction. Listen:
The armed faction lies.
They recreate the state through their action.
When the people rise
It is not they
But the state
Which dies.

I sing this song for the prisoners' release,
Most of all now for the new state police.
You see, the guns have changed hands, again.
What can one say?
I will not obey."
