Mustard Seed School: Day Three


On Day Three, we did a walking tour of downtown Calgary. Here is a mind map of everywhere we went to and what we thought about at each place.

Mind Map from our day

Journalling at the Chinese Cultural Centre


Things we learned:

“I learned the word perspective. “ ~ ChloĆ©
“I learned about art made out of feathers at the Chinese Cultural Centre.” ~ Ina
“I learned that at one time in Canada, Chinese people weren’t welcome.” ~ James
“I learned that people can’t sleep in the +15’s.” ~ Owen
“In China, red is a lucky colour. I learned that there was a microphone in the glacier.” ~ Priya
“I learned that the winter garden is private. I learned that there is a lot of hostile architecture. I learned that the forest of trees was a cross-stitching pattern.” ~ Nikita
“I learned that water can look frozen but still be able to move.” ~ Abigail
“I learned that everyone is allowed to go in the Devonian Garden.” ~ Isla
“Homeless people can’t sleep where there’s hostile architecture.” ~ Gaby
