Welcome back from the long spring break! We’ve kicked off our new quest with enthusiasm and curiosity, diving into exciting projects and discoveries. The studio was abuzz with energy as we reunited after the break. The Spark heroes shared tales of their adventures and dreams for the new session ahead. A hot topic was what hotel everybody stayed in and if it had a pool!
Here’s a recap of our week in the studio:
This week, we embarked on a journey into the world of gardening and plant life. We delved into what plants need to thrive and grow, creating our very own mini greenhouses to observe the magic of seed growth up close! From seed to sprout, the children will be making daily observations in their journals. Fingers crossed they all sprout!
The children turned their gaze skyward to witness the awe-inspiring phenomenon of the solar eclipse. They watched the first 30 minutes of the eclipse, went back to work, and came back for peak coverage. The children were fascinated with how dark, cool and eerie it was outside.
During world cultures, they ended the week by crafting intricate cherry blossom trees, inspired by the Japanese tradition of Hanami, celebrating the fleeting beauty of cherry blossoms in spring.
The children enjoyed the warm weather this week as well. For PE, they hiked to a place they call “rock park” (Glenway Children’s Park) where they had lunch and explored the canyons, hills, and ledges of the unique park!
This session, art will tie into the gardening quest. The children celebrated spring by creating the components of their indoor community garden which they display for the exhibition.
Finally, this week ends with the Acton Children’s Business Fair happening this Saturday. Several heroes are participating and all will be shopping! We can’t wait to see the creations the children have made!
