THE TRIP TO PENN’S LANDING

The trip to Penn’s Landing was a good way to learn what was there before in the old times like very huge boats that brought in foods and manufactured goods. I also saw people riding on boats and a man riding on a jet ski. Then we talked about how would we improve Penn’s Landing and I said that I would get a band to play a song every week and I would send out posters. Another way I would improve Penn’s Landing is to make a way for kids to go boat riding and to fish. Finally I would find a way to host canoe races for the camps. Later on that day we talked about the different fruit trees like the peach tree and banana trees witch made me want a peach and a banana because I was hungry.Then we went back to the train station got on the sub and went back to temple and that was my trip to Penn’s Landing have a bless and wonderful day.

Penn’s Landing

We went to Penn’s Landing on Monday, July 26. My group went with Sofia’s group. We took the sub and the el. First, we walked through Penn’s Landing. We saw people relaxing and riding their boats. A lady explained the history about Penn’s Landing before it became modernized. We did an activity on the maps around the perimeter of Penn’s Landing. I didn’t like the fact that water from the vending machines was two dollars. There was one water fountain and it was broke. I think there should be at least five water fountains installed all over. I also observed that the Delaware River is bigger than the Schyukill River. Overall, I thought the trip was very educational and exciting.

Penn’s Landing

When we went to Penn’s Landing I saw people out in the water on ski boats. I liked how all the groups were getting along, and how it wasn’t a lot of people, and the other people were just relaxing. I don’t think there should be any changes to Penn’s Landing. While I was there I learned that some streets in Philadelphia are named after different types of trees.

Penn's landing

Penn's landing was a very hot site. It was very historic and makes you think about how Philadelphia used to be back then and how it is now. While at Penn's landing we learned about the maps of Philadelphia and the first part of the city.We looked at how trees changed over time.We also saw how the city has changed over the years. While at Penn's we answered a variety of questions on the history of Penn's landing. We even looked at how old our own neighborhood is due to a city time map.
