Explore Year 5. Session 6. Week 6.

/in /by

The learners in Explore spent the week preparing for their Exhibition of Learning, worked together on team challenges, and practiced reading aloud at closing groups.

 

EXHIBITION OF LEARNING: QUEST

Explore learners and Discovery learners had a joint Exhibition at the end of Session 6. They presented their work and  answered questions from their guests about their learning in the Astronomy Quest, the challenges they faced and how they overcame them, and other reflections.

 

EXHIBITION OF LEARNING: WRITERS’ WORKSHOP

The Explorers spent Session 6 writing creative fiction in Writers’ Workshop. At their Exhibition, all of their prewriting, along with their final draft, was posted for their guests to see and read through. Explorers shared how proud they were of their stories and that they had written more than ever before.

 

EXHIBITION OF LEARNING: ART

The learners in Explore created varying pieces of art over the course of the past 6 Sessions which culminated in an Explore Art Exhibit. They showcased their self-portraits, their paintings of places that remind them of home, and their sculptures of everyday items that hold meaning for them.

In Session 6, the learners in Explore and Discovery wrote, produced, and acted in plays that they performed for their guests at their Exhibition.

 

FRIDAY OUTING

Explorers continued their Friday tradition of an outing along the Greenbelt. They hiked, investigated wildlife with curiosity and respect, and pushed themselves out of their comfort zone by attempting challenging maneuvers on the rocks!

 

END-OF-SESSION CELEBRATION

On Friday, the learners in Explore were invited by the Spark learners to see the Theater in a Box projects that they created in Session 6.

To celebrate the end of the Session, the learners in Explore hosted the Spark learners for an end-of-session snack they all worked together to create. Explorers baked biscuits to go with the peach jam that the Sparks made from the peaches in the orchard.
