Session 5/Week 6

What a great time in the studio. No bad weather, we are back at school just getting stuff done! We had exhibition prep, Jimmy the potato (ask them), and lots of Heroes at work! I was so impressed at their passion for their stalls for exhibition. They locked it in and got it done. I’m thinking PASSION. I saw heroes taking possession of their ideas and negotiating with others.

We had visitors this week, the owners of Quantum Leap trampoline park. They talked about profit, what it takes to get a business started, and their trials along the way. It was a great learning and teaching tool through real world experience.

We wrapped up the week with our Exhibition on Friday, where the Heroes proudly showcased their learning and growth. As part of the event, they hosted a mock Lemon Bazaar Business Fair for parents — practicing their pitches, displaying their products, and demonstrating the hard work that has gone into their entrepreneurial journey. Parents had the opportunity to engage, ask questions, and even serve as judges, making the experience both authentic and celebratory.

It was also a milestone moment for many Heroes as they earned new badges, tangible symbols of their perseverance, skill development, and character growth. Watching them reflect on how far they’ve come was a powerful reminder that growth happens through courage, practice, and a willingness to step into challenges.

We have a week off next week to rest and regroup. We are excited about what comes next!
