| Today, I can't wait to tell you we went to Dr. Sun at Sen Gardens with Ms. Sam's class. Susan was our leader and she told us that 6,000 years ago there was a scholar living in these very rooms. There she told us all about the symbols. the turtle means long life, the bat means good luck, and the Sphynx meas fire because it has long red, Orange, and gold tail feathers. When she told us that I said what about the Koi. then she handed every teacher a deck of cards to flip and then she told us that we were going to have a scavenger hunt. She led us around the garden and she also showed us where the emperor's helper studied. when we went in we saw bird cages and there we learned that back then a bird was the most popular pet and the scholar would take the whole cage off the shelf and walked it to the park. Not like now when we put a leash on our pets. She took us all the way across the garden and the thing that we was was a robins nest and there were eggs inside. We got split into groups. Susan told us where some duck eggs were. there were four tiny duck eggs. When we went to out on the scavenger hunt our group found almost everything. When she called us in she used a real gong. We could have heard her for miles. then it was time to go. I had a radical time. It will be so cool this summer. By:-C.D. |

After that we went to the scholar study! She told us about the momma robin's eggs on top of the nest. On the scholars study! It was because the crow figure it out and ate all the eggs. After that the momma robin came the next Summer to hide a new nest under the bridge. Then we saw a Beautiful garden in the middle. There were cool looking pattern with rocks on the ground beside a rock statue on the garden.The garden was full of animals,ponds,plants and caves!! The garden was in the middle of the house because the family love nature all the way so they decided to put it in the middle of the house. Their symbol is turtle because it mean long life because turtle lives for a long time!!! They also have a symbol called bat because bats and good luck sound the same! The phoenix is a symbol for fire. Phoenix are friends with dragon also phoenix is called well phoenix or fire bird!!!!!! Susan said "Scavenger hunt time. I will give your lists of animals to find them around the house. My group is Tristan,Alex,Damien,Pear,Joseph and Ms. Quon! After that we were called by a real ultra loud gong! Finally we return back and peacefully went down for recess!!!!!!!!-by J.L. |

Then Susan said do you know that a garden can be at the side of your house, the front of your house and the back of your house.

| Today we went to Dr. Sun yat sen garden with Ms. Sam's class. We went inside the Emperor's house. He had a very big house that had a pet bird. It was inside a cage and there was even a garden in the middle. The leader showed us some of the symbols.A turtle means long life, a bat means good luck and a koi fish means jewel. After that the leader sent us in groups for a scavenger hunt. We were looking for animals. Our group did not find most of the animals Then the leader showed us where the turtle was it was on a rock. My friends kept telling the turtle was on the rock but I still could't see it. It was so hard to find it and then Ms. Quon came over and I asked Ms.Quon where is that turtle? She said it is on top of that smallest rock. Then I found the turtle. The turtle was still a baby. I hope one day you could go to Dr. Sun yat sen Garden. I had a great time and I want to go bact to Dr. Sun yat sen Garden again!!!-by V.H. |
