Explore Year 5. Session 5. Week 1.

The learners in Explore started Session 5 this week by jumping into the Geology Quest, essay writing in Writers’ Workshop, and more!

QUEST

Explorers became geologists this week, diving in to plate tectonics and discussing the impacts of earthquakes in the Geology Quest. They worked together to make models of the Great Rift Valley and conducted tests on models they built to determine their structural integrity at different earthquake magnitudes.

WRITERS’ WORKSHOP

This session in Writers’ Workshop, the learners will write essays answering a big question. This week, they each explored possible big questions like, why do we dream, are we alone in the universe, and do we really have free will.

 

PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT

Explorers played games and worked as a team to complete challenges in PD this week. Session 6 PD is focused on good sportsmanship, so the learners in Explore discussed what that means to them. They then practiced encouraging one another and giving call-outs.

The learners in Explore had lunch outside in the sunshine all week and concluded the first week of Session 6 by celebrating learners who earned badges!
