The week wraps up

The remainder of the week with the Pouncing Pumas was a lot of fun. Thursday we took a field trip to Queen St W and wandered around looking at the shop windows and galleries. We ended up at Criminal Records to watch my band perform an intimate show.We spoke to the owner of the shop about running a music store,  and he quizzed the kids about the Beatles (they actually recognised a lot!) The group was very excited to be around the instruments, and it was a challenge to wrangle them in before they all created their own cacophonous band. They were fantastic once everyone settled in though, and I was impressed at how quietly they sat and paid attention during the performance.

On Friday we treated ourselves to some hot chocolate from Lit Espresso bar, the nice guy behind the counter even piled up the whipped cream by the kids request. With our hands warm with our drinks we walked down to Bellwoods park. We played some tag games, had some swing time and eventually met up with the Cycling Giants. We introduced them to Macaroni (which they thought was hilarious) and then we played a new game "Touch the Trees" which got the kids running to each tree in a section of the park. It got a little chilly by the end, so we're working on a space to go when the weather gets even colder.

April has a blogpost about her group that also includes our group. It is a nice read, feel free to read it here: http://bellwoods.blogspot.com/2010/11/clay-paper-theatre-with-pouncing-pumas.html

Hope your weekend is lovely!
