Some pictures from the previous week

We checked out an interesting exhibit at Magic Pony,
discovered a variety of mushrooms in Trinity Bellwoods,

and investigated a giant branch had fallen down.

Walking tightrope

We approached some friendly folks at Trinity Bellwoods on Friday and learned the basics of tightrope walking! Everybody gave it at least one try and was incredible at it! 

It was a beautiful day!
Elegant like a ballerina
Determined like a warrior

Making videos with Joe, picture book, and T.B. bike excursion


Last week, we visited OZ Studio again and made videos with Joe on a special device he invented, consisting of an iPhone and lots more. Most of us enjoyed it a whole lot!

Playing with glasses taken from old camera lenses! 


Also, after making zines individually or as a pair, we're now onto making one large picture book all together!



On Friday, we did some cycling-specific stretches and biked all around Trinity Bellwoods, visiting all corners of the park through every trail.

Kung Fu: In the style of 詠春 (Wing Chun)

Guest teacher Bryan came to show and teach us Kung Fu on Friday! He brought special headbands that gave us extra power, all of us were able to break special purple Kung Fu paper with our newly learned punches and kicks!

Cherry Blossom Festival A.K.A. 桜まつり (Sakura Matsuri)

Last week, we paid a visit to High Park and had a picnic under a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. Angel told us about how snacking, picnicking with your friends and families during the cheery blossom season, which often lasts for only one week, is a very important tradition in East Asia and particularly in Japan.

We had lemonade instead of tea, also, dried mangoes, rice crackers and a bunch of dips!
Running up and down the hill
Typical!
Trying to catch falling cherry petals... to eat!
Record-breaking 30 seconds headstand!!!
