On Tuesday, June the 12th, our class went on a trip to the Don Montgomery Centre. We went through different workshops upon getting there – baking in the kitchen, playing video games, and the recording studio.
While there, a youth worker showed us most of the buildings and where we would go throughout the day. Then, he had our teacher split us into two groups and we went into separate workshops. My group, which mostly consisted of girls, went to the kitchen to bake cookies while the other group went to the dance studio with our teacher. Baking chocolate cookies was so fun. Although it wasn’t my first time eating home-made choco-chip cookies, it was a first time to make them.
Next thing we did after the baking station, we switched with the other group, so they went to the kitchen while we went to the dance studio. We danced and laughed, and our group ended up splitting into two, one side watched while the other danced. It was really fun, and it might beat my trip to the Ontario Science Centre.
After that, we had a lunch break and we ate some of the cookies we made and the smoothies that the other group made. We answered some trivia and we used our phones during the break. It was really funny, as three of my classmates had a push-up battle.
Then, half of our group went to the Youth Space while the other half went to the recording studio. The other group was in the studio, making their own superhero. While they were playing Driving Simulator and 2K18, I had a phone, played games and surfed through my feeds. Eventually, the other half of our group came back and we went to the recording studio. It was fantastic. We even made rapper names and we recorded some weird rap that mostly included giggling, shouting, and cringe-worthy versions of ‘Gucci Gang’.
After a series of chuckling and laughter, it was our turn to draw our own superheroes. The instructor showed us how to draw really well, starting with basic geometric shapes. I made a girl superhero wearing a long-sleeved white jumpsuit with black and lavender boots and a small mask. She had medium-length lavender hair, usually in a side ponytail. She had big eyes and a small heart-shaped face.
Alas, the fun-filled day had to end. We left around two forty PM, and we arrived just in time for the bus bell to ring. Of course, as soon as I sat down on my regular seat, I felt tired. I was sleepy, all my energy drained by amazing fun activities we had that day. Oh well – in two days, I get to go to the Princess of Wales Theatre in downtown Toronto to see The Phantom of The Opera in a fancy-dancy dress.
Au revoir!
