Spark Blog Session 2- Week 2- Year 5

Leaves & Art Oh My

This week the heroes were asked to bring a leaf from home to the studio! They completed a water color art using the leaves. They first had to put the leaf underneath their paper and then use a white crayon to shade on top of where the leave was. Next they were given water color paint to paint their paper. They learned that crayons and water color paint does not mix!

Mrs. Sarah gave the heroes the presentation on how to properly use the materials and complete the leaf art. In the studio , before we do anything presentations are given by modeling how to .complete the task or work at hand.

Evie completed the 3 part cards on identifying the leaves of a variety of trees. Once they complete the 3 part cards then the heroes are available to go the leaf observation tray work.

“No Laughing, No Smiling, No Giggling”

By: James Stevenson

This week the heroes challenge book was “No Laughing, No Smiling, No Giggling.” After we read the story each squad was given a mystery box, inside of each box contained silly dress up clothes and props! They were challenged to make the audience laugh (their studio mates) and the audiences challenge was not to laugh, smile, or giggle. Lets just say that the audience failed on all three of those parts and the squads successfully made their audiences laugh, smile, and giggle!

CVC Words

This week we launched on learning about vowels and consonants. We placed a big card deck of our letters on the carpet and had the heroes take turns building CVC words and reading them aloud. Next week they will get to do this tasks with their squads!
