Weekly Themes 2022
Week 1: 6/20 - 6/24 (Winchester and Medfield Only)
Blow Your Mind:
Crawl through your cerebellum and learn the lobe lingo as we venture deep into the inner workings of our brain. How far back does your Hippocampus go? Why must our Amygdala make us angry? Are neurons really electric? Find out all that and more as Kidsborough blows your mind.
Week 2: 6/27 - 7/1
Primitive Pioneers:
Disconnect from technology to find a time when life was not so fast-paced. This week Kidsborough will discover how mankind handled everyday tasks before electricity, irrigation systems and even GPS! Forget your modern conveniences and learn to live in the past.
(Field trip Old Sturbridge Village: Canton & Winchester Wednesday 6/29 Medfield & HR Thursday 6/30)
Week 3: 7/5 - 7/8
Elementary, My Dear Watson:
Mystery reigns over Kidsborough during a week of disguises, forensic science and double agents. First step, collect trace evidence. Second; observe and analyze. Third? “Sherlock Holmes” that case and solve the crime. Let your inner detective run wild!
Week 4: 7/11 - 7/15
Everything X-Files:
Abandon mainstream science for a look at some infamous folklore legends. Cryptozoology classics such as Loch Ness and BigFoot will join forces with mythological mermaids as we try to unlock hidden secrets. Don’t blink; you may miss an alien invasion.
Week 5: 7/18 - 7/22
The Magic Schoolbus:
Cruisin’ on down Main Street, you’re relaxed and feeling good. Next thing that you know, you’re seeing…an octopus in our neighborhood? Sit tight and buckle up because Miss Frizzle is taking over Kidsborough! Learn about everything from: kitchen chemistry to color, dinosaurs to decomposition, structures to seeds. It’s time to ride the Magic School Bus!
(Field Trip – Kidsborough Olympics Thursday, July 21st)
Week 6: 7/25 - 7/29
Alter Ego:
We all know that Avocados make great guacamole, but did you know they make delicious brownies too? Maybe you’ve used PVC pipe to build an awesome fort or orange peels to spark a flame. Channel your inner MacGyver and switch on your thinking cap to find alternative uses for everyday items.
Week 7: 8/1- 8/5
America’s Pastimes:
Who doesn’t love watching nine innings on a warm spring day with a delicious Fenway frank in their hands? Or bowling a one-two split while sipping on a glass bottle of Coca-cola? Join us for a look at the games, foods and toys that have withstood the test of time.
(Field Trip: Woo Sox game – Wed. August 3rd @ 12:15)
Week 8: 8/8 - 8/12
Periodic Power:
You could spend a lifetime learning about the Periodic Table of Elements! While we only have a week, there’s still plenty of time to check out these building blocks of life. Learn about Boron’s role in the world of sports, Gold’s ability to suit royalty, and Vanadium’s tie to springs.
