Roundhouse Community Centre Field Trip

I went to the Roundhouse Community Centre with my classmates yesterday. I went there by my car. It’s located in Yale town at the corner of Davie and Pacific.
It was built over 100 years ago, so it’s historical building. It used to be a train station.
There are celebrate diversity offer arts and health and fitness courses to people of all ages.
I was impressed how the historical building provides diversity for people to enjoy community. This field trip was very useful for me. There are volunteer opportunities for us and the membership cost is very reasonable and affordable. There are so many things we can learn from at the Roundhouse. Most of all I’m interested in learning Pickle ball. I’d like become a member and I’ll try next time.

Children's Festival volunteering

  Our classmates went to Granville Island last Friday May 31st and the weather was really nice. We met in front of the KEG restaurant at 9 am. It’s located near the entrance to Granville Island.  

 First of all, we went together to the Volunteer House. We signed up and our volunteer shift began officially. After that, Ikue and I worked in the Face Painting booth with other volunteers where we helped children line up and get Tattoos. We removed the white protective cover sheet and carefully applied the tattoo face down on their hands. Each time we put tattoos on children's hands, they loved it. But one girl cried, which suprised us at first, but other than that, volunteering was amazing!

  After three hours, we finished our shift. I was pleased to see children smile and hear them say thank you. I am looking forward to appying more volunteering.

Let me tell you about myself.

How I cope with Stress

When I feel stressed, I like to take a bath with music on, cry and take a nap, and read funny books or watch movies. I stay in hot water with music, taking a bath helps me to soothe my muscles and calms me down. I sometimes cry out loud which makes me to take out all the stuff that were stuck in my heart. Then I take a nap after I wake up I feel much better. Other times, I watch comical movies or read entertaining books.  Falling into a beautiful scene in a movie or into a catch part of a book makes me forget who I am and where I am. Before I notice I'm already recharged, ready to go. I can smile.

What a beautiful Stanley Park!

I went to Stanley Park on Monday April 22nd with my classmates and teacher. The weather was fantastic. We met at the end of Chilco street that is nearby Lost Lagoon. The Lost Lagoon was the largest lake at Stanley Park.

First time, we took a picture with classmates. We came across several animals in the Lost Lagoon : Canada geese, grey squirrel, great blue heron and mallard duck. After then we along Tatlow walk. We saw the three main conifers in BC that is Western red cedar, Douglas fir, Western hemlock. Western hemlock has relative smooth bark. Douglas fir has thick, rough bark and provide a sleeping place for bat. Western red cedar's bark felt soft and stringy when we touched it. We hugged the massive tree. It took 8 people to reach around the tree. We continued along Bridle Path. We found skunk cabbage that it provide a powerful laxative for bears.

After finising field trip, I feel satisfied. Nature is priceless. I would like to go there with my frends on weekend.
