On Friday there was field trip to Visual Arts and Craft School at Toronto Downtown. I did Volunteers to her class teacher to manage student and help them out. It was supper fun and I enjoyed it lot. So we started out trip in bus from school to Downtown which was 1 and half hour journey as we stucked in traffic. When we reached there staff welcome all students and took them to big hall of their school. They divided student to 2 parts as there was total 4 class of Grade 1. I was having six kids in my team for whom I was responsible for everything during trip. firstly we started with puppet Show, which kids really enjoyed. Then teachers over their explain kids regarding different kinds of puppet and from different places. How they portray and people use them in stage show etc. etc. After all that they showed kids how to make one. It was simple and easy and kids attempt to make one for their own. Spend around and hour for making puppet and decorating them. I got some pictures, but I am sad that I couden't click for final pic when everything all done, as I was all busy helping 6 kids in my team and then it was too much rush also as we were having very little time. Kids took lunch out in garden as it was full sunny day. they were happy to see CN tower. it was beautiful view from their Garden.

After Lunch, they took kids to Clay Mask making, where teacher explain them, Why we use mask and what kind of mask we found these days, and how they are made from different material. With mask we can scare people and that we use it on Halloween, we can make people laugh. Through mask we can express our emotions, happy sad, wired, surprise, cry etc. then he showed them how to make mask from Clay. After that kids tried to make their own mask. All kids were very enthusiastic to make their own. You can see glimpse of them in above pic. Again I was very busy that I couldn't took final pic when every thing was done. as it was rush to come back to school and buses were already arrived to pick up all of us. They gave all student mask in shoe box, which they carry with them. Mask and Puppet are all drying in classroom right now, hopefully they will send to home by next week. Will upload pic after that...

All in all I spent my all day last Friday with kids. It was supper busy and fun day. Six kids in my team were good to me. They listen my instruction when I was giving one and ask me when they had any question. I enjoyed help them making puppet and clay mask.
