Weekly Updates
Preschool / Spark Studio (PS) Update
Eagle Bucks Time!
On Friday afternoon during Closing Circle, as many as 7 Eagles exchanged their Eagle Bucks at the Eagle Buck Store.
Everybody Pitch In!
A few of the PS Eagles were unwilling to play the Clean-up Game after Outdoor Playtime on Wednesday. Those who cleaned up thought that it was unfair that not everyone did the cleaning up.
Quest: Montessori Cultural – Animal Kingdom
The PS Eagles were asked to choose a pet that they had been observing / taking care of over the last 3 weeks (or more). They were challenged to make a 3D model from recyclable materials / containers. They started by drawing a sketch of the pets that they had chosen.
Friday Art Pack (Fish)
The PS Eagles were given an art pack that consisted of 3 fish templates, aluminum foil, bubble wrap, some rope and pipe cleaners. They created beautiful fish from everything!
Elementary Studio (ES) Update
What is a Solution?
Week four of our Cooking and Chemistry Sprint saw us exploring the concept of solutions. “Wait, which is the solute and which is the solvent?” the Eagles got a little confused over this question and had to spend some time figuring it out.
Nutrients … Where To Find Them?
The ES Eagles also went through their kitchens to find packets with nutrition fact labels and were surprised by the amount of calories present in some of their favourite food. “I didn’t know there are so many calories in nuts!”
Chocolate Chip Cookies!!
This week’s Cooking Challenge was … delicious chocolate chip cookies! Yum! The Eagles had a lot to say about the lessons learned during this challenge:
Eagle 1: “I pressed the button on the oven 3 times and accidentally locked my oven door! My mum taught me how to unlock the oven door. I learned how to do that today.”
Eagle 2: “I learned that cookie batter can be very sticky.”
Eagle 3: “I learned not to put the cookie dough into the freezer, it makes it so soft and sticky.”
Eagle 4: “I didn’t have chocolate chips, so I added chocolate instead.”
