Crazy Bedroom

Last month, The Lion Wolves wrote a story called "Crazy Bedroom". It was a rainy day and an exercise of storytelling turned into quick an epic story! They loved it so much they wanted to turn it into a movie. I documented the story as they took turns creating it orally amongst themselves. The story ended up being 5 pages long! Pretty amazing stuff. Narration in the video here is done by me, but the story line is 100% kid directed. Enjoy!!

Public Art & City sights

We always stop to look and talk about the colourful murals that we see on our walks. 

 Sometimes you come across a fall fair at a neighbourhood school and get to enjoy wonderful local musicians playing and maybe even have a tasty treat!

 Planting bulbs for the spring...

 Creating our own 'Buildings & Bodies' drawings by local artist, Ryan Dodgson. www.ryandodgson.com.

 Costumes are always a good idea.

Exploring parks and nature in our wonderful city

The beautiful sights of fall!

 

 Vegetables from below ground....

 And above ground!

 At the Farmer's Market we learned that it was a bad year for local apple trees. An early bloom and then an early frost left the apple trees without a lot of fruit to share with the farmers and the community. We also learned a lot about maple trees and how sap is extracted from the tree and then made into syrup! Thanks to our friendly friend at the market for the wonderful knowledge and the tasty maple leaf candies!! We love the farmers market!

 Can you spot the purple pepper?

Play Fair!

Today Dewson Families  took to Queen's Park for a rally to display their care for education and the right to strike. Families came out to play, run, and have their voices heard. 
 Inspiring hearts and active minds. Civic Engagement at it's best!
