Explore Year 6. Session 5. Week 2.

This week in the studio was packed with exploration, deep thinking, and hands-on learning. From honing survival skills in Quest, to finding flow in Art, and diving into meaningful discussions, every learner had an opportunity to grow in new ways.

QUEST

This week’s Survivor Quest focused on one of the most essential survival skills—water! Learners in Explore researched the many different parts of the water cycle, then built a model to illustrate their findings. To put their knowledge into practice, they constructed solar stills to collect water through condensation and used sand, gravel, and coffee filters to purify murky water collected from Shoal Creek last week. Once they completed their Quest challenges, they switched gears to another essential survival skill—fire-making! They practiced using flint and steel, magnifying glasses, and even friction with sticks to create fire.

     

ART

This week in art, Explorers took their creativity outdoors with a yarn bombing project! They gathered sticks from around campus and wrapped them in bright-colored yarn, transforming them into vibrant sculptures and mobiles.

PD

In PD, Explorers worked on improving their control of the basketball while dribbling. They pushed themselves to their limits, running extra laps and creating their own dribbling challenges, all while cheering each other on.
