Weekly Updates
Preschool / Spark Studio (PS) Update
Half and Half
On Wednesday, the PS Studio reopened for ‘physical classes’. Half of the PS Eagles attended the ‘physical’ classes from Wednesday onwards, and the rest continued with ‘virtual’ classes. It was great to see that both versions of the Studio maintained their energy and joy.
Self-Regulation
Some PS Eagles did not follow the Circle Time ROE and persisted in talking over their fellow Eagles. The Eagles who witnessed the behaviour raised their hands, waited their turn and called out, “Please put your hand up when you want to speak.” After several warnings, a PS Eagles was invited to have a 1 minute reset at the reset table, and the Circle Time continued.
Friday Art Pack (Worm)
The PS Eagles were given an artpack filled with cotton / plastic filling, googly eyes, pipe cleaners and rubber bands. All the Eagles had to supply were an old sock from home, and some glue from last week’s pack.

Elementary Studio (ES) Update
More Flour! Add More Flour!!
This week the Eagles face a daunting challenge … to bake bread! This time around, they were more prepared and made sure that they had everything that they needed before the day.
At the beginning of the challenge, some Eagles face difficulties locating the challenge which was sent to them via email, but before long they were sharing and guiding each other through the process.
One Eagle experienced some frustration. She felt that no one was listening to her during the process. “It was so noisy and nobody answered me when I asked them.” Later, upon reflection, she came to realize that she needed to learn how to check her email and to also learn to read the recipe thoroughly.
