Spark Year 5. Session 4. Week 5.

As we head towards the end of the session, the Sparks spent their week exploring citizenship- what it means, why it’s important, and who they’ve observed being kind citizens. We read “What if Everybody Did That?” by Ellen Javernick and reflected on one person’s impact on a whole community. Learners joined in discussions about citizens in their community- police officers, firefighters, and doctors were mentioned for their teamwork and helpfulness towards others. They then reflected on good citizens they knew in their day-to-day lives; parents, siblings, and friends were called out for being kind. When Friday rolled around, Spark learners had an opportunity to color worksheets highlighting citizenship and made cards for citizens in the Discovery and Explore studios that they admire.

      

During Spark Play this week, the Sparks focused on citizenship within themselves and their studio- working together to build castles, being kind and helpful by getting bandaids and ice packs for hurt friends, and rolling up their sleeves to clean up, keeping our community clean and safe. Friday’s dance party was a hit, with Discovery learners joining in, moving and grooving together into the weekend.

       

Have a great weekend!
