Spark Studio, Year 2, Session 5, Week 22

During the Detective Science Quest this week, the Spark heroes delved into the fascinating world of fingerprints! Every Spark learner became a skilled investigator as they discovered the unique patterns of their fingerprints. Armed with this knowledge, they solved mysteries by examining the fingerprints left at the “crime scene” and comparing them with those in their “database.”

During World Cultures, the children explored the vibrant country of Brazil, where they learned about the colorful celebration of Carnival! Spark learners had a blast creating their very own carnival masks, adding their creative flair to this festive tradition. The group ended the week by exploring a global celebration called Green Festival and connected with nature through a nature walk, where they crafted beautiful nature bracelets.

The highlight of this week was witnessing the genuine joy shared by all Sparks as the tribe celebrated one of their studio mates welcoming a new sister into her family. It’s moments like these that remind us of the wonderful bonds we share within the Spark community.
