Gearing Up for Session 6

By Hero's Journey Academy

Session 5 Week 6 & Session 6 Week 1 Year 6

The past two weeks at school have been full of creativity, celebration, and exciting new beginnings!

In Art, our Heroes explored the beauty of watercolor painting. They experimented with blending techniques, color mixing, and brush control to create unique pieces full of movement and expression. It was wonderful to see their creativity shine through each painting.

During Quest time, our ES learners wrapped up an important milestone — they finished play testing their games! After gathering feedback and making improvements, they began preparing for the Exhibition. The Exhibition featured an exciting Game Day where parents were invited to play both the online games and board games the learners designed. It was a proud moment for everyone to see their hard work come to life and to watch families enjoying the games together.

After returning from Mardi Gras break, we jumped right into Session 6. During Quest time, learners will now begin exploring the history of energy use — an exciting new topic that will take us through how energy sources have evolved over time and how they impact our world today.

We also shared a special Valentine’s Tea, generously provided by Mrs. Molley. The Montessori learners beautifully set the tables, paying close attention to detail. Everyone practiced proper etiquette, demonstrating grace and courtesy throughout the event. It was a lovely time of community, connection, and celebration.

Our Little Heroes have also been busy with imaginative play during Sparks play. They had a blast creating crowns and armor, stepping into royal and heroic roles. To top it off, we enjoyed some sunny outdoor time playing with bubbles — a simple joy that brought lots of laughter and smiles.
