Field Trip: Whittamore's Farm in Oct 1st

Hopefully, we have field trip again. The whole Linc school teachers and  students went to the Whittamore's Farm in Oct 1st. The school rent  3 school buses to go there.  In China, we have no this kind of school bus, So I got a new experience by take this kind of yellow school bus. That was a sunny and windy day. It was too cold in the morning. We went the farm at 10.00am. The owner of the farm told us that we can pick up raspberries ,strawberries  and chillis. She gave each person a little basket to put the berries in it.  Raspberry was not popular in China.so I am not familiar with it. But I picked up strawberries in China before. I think the taste of strawberries was better than raspberries.

After picking up strawberries, we were looking for the chilis. One of  my classmates said:"The chilis are here." "which was the chilis?" I asked her because I hadn't find them yet. "look, they are under the leaves." oh, since the chili had the same color with leaves , I couldn't find them yet." What a big chili!" I shouted. Yes, I have not seen the big chili before. It was bigger than my palm.

What a good day! I bought a basket of strawberries and a lot of chilis  from the farm  and  took them home.

Field trip: Sugar Beach in Sept.28

This was the first trip for me in the Microskills Linc School. I was so excited. In the morning ,Joseph and my classmates,we met at the southbound of Yonge/Sheppard Subway Station. Our first stop was the Redpath Sugar Museum, which was built in the Canada's oldest sugar factory. The  Redpath was  the brand of  sugar which named by  the lastname of  the  boss John Redpath. John Redpath built this factory in 1880's in Montreal.  After many years, this factory was be rebuilt in  Toronto in 1950's. Redpath Sugar Museum is the place where we can know the procedure  and  the history  of  sugar making.
The second stop was the Sugar Beach. The name of Sugar Beach was of  this area  near the Redpath Sugar Factory and Ontario Lake. That was a beautiful place with white sands , many big pink Umbrellas  and  Muskoka Chairs.  Many birds and ducks were there. I think this area was suitable for the lovers. But unfortunately, it was heavy raining. So after visited that area, we went to the nearest supermarket to have a rest.
The third stop for me was the St.Lawrence Market which was not far away from the Ontario Lake. St.Lawrence Market was an old market which sells fresh seafood, vegetables, breads, cheeses and so on. It was a good place for travellers to see how the people live in Toronto. Compared with this kind of  market in China, St Lawrence Market was so quiet and clean. While in China, there was a lot of people and so crowd in the market. It was the different.
What makes me surprise was the rain stopped and it was sunny in the afternoon.After lunch, I walked in the Front St and went to the King Subway station. The last stop for me was the St. James  Catholic Church. It was an old building with the high towel.  I took some pictures there.
Though I felt a little tired when I came home, I felt very happy about the trip.
