Highlights of the Week (22/23 Term 2 Week 12)

Hello everyone! It has been an eventful week at school for our PN students! We continued our theme ‘Community Helpers’ this week and we had a chance to learn about doctors and nurses who help us out when we feel unwell. We had fun exploring the tools that they use and took turns to pretend to be doctors and nurses. For English, we talked about the letter V and the new words (van, volcano, vest, vegetables). We had a blast doing the revision on the letter U and letter V with a game. It was very exciting to find the hidden pictures in the classroom and sort them all out by putting them into the letter U and letter V hula hoops. For Math, it was all about the new number- number 10. Our little ones did certain exercises for 10 times, like clapping, jumping, touching our noses, etc. What another amazing week it was! See you all again next week!

This week went by in a flash. For Cambridge, we talked about parties and reviewed our party clothing vocabulary such as belt, hat, dress, badges and more. We even got our students to share about their party experiences and what they could do at parties; it turns out they all love birthday parties because they get to eat cake and wear their favorite outfits! J For Phonics, we explored the /u/ and /v/ sounds and reviewed related vocabulary. For our Critical thinking lessons, we learnt the concept of day and night such as when we can see the sun and when we can see the moon. We even brainstormed about things we could do during the day such as going to school, eating breakfast and things we could do at night such as putting on our pajamas and going to sleep. For Mathematics, we reviewed our concept of in and out and number 15.

We hope everyone is having a wonderful week, we sure are having a fantastic week in K2.

Math lesson was another fun lesson on clocks. This week we learned to read an analog clock. We put digital clocks and analog clocks side by side and learned the differences. We learned that analog clocks have two important hands for reading, long hand and short hand. Ask your child, where does the long hand point to when the clock reads ‘o’clock’. For more practice, students were grouped in smaller groups and were asked by their peers to point the hands in the right places according to the time they shouted.

In Critical Thinking we learned about the sun and its importance. Students came up with loads of interesting and challenging questions. These questions lead us to asking how the Earth moves around the sun providing sunshine to the side it faces and darkness to the side it doesn’t face. We learned that the sun is very vital in our daily lives and that if the sun suddenly disappeared, our world would be so challenging to live in. So, thank you Mr. Sun for always shining so bright!

Welcome to week 12! In this week, our K3 students have had a fun introduction to stars! We have learnt that stars come in different colours, they shine for millions of years and they die. The Sun is our nearest star that gives us light and heat! We have also designed our own constellations and have given them names, what a fun craft!

For math this week, we have learnt how to draw the other side of a picture to make it symmetrical. It seemed easy at first but our K3 students struggled with making the picture look cohesive. After the teacher had told everyone that we had to flip the picture as if we were looking into a mirror, all the K3 students understood how to do it immediately! Sometimes you really have to do an experiment to fully understand a concept!

That’s all for this week! See you in the next one!

主題「交通工具」

今週展開新主題: 「交通工具」。幼兒一起分享和發表自己認識的交通工具，同時幼兒亦認識不同在陸地上行走的交通工具，例如巴士丶電車和港鐵等等。老師亦邀請幼兒利用交通工具玩具向大家分享交通工具的名稱和用途。

為了讓幼兒加深認識乘坐巴士的程序，老師讓幼兒進行「乘坐巴士遊戲」模擬坐巴士的過程。幼兒在遊戲過程中，利用教具「八達通」和配合音效，拍一拍八達通，模擬體驗乘坐巴士前付款的動作。幼兒十分享受遊戲的過程。幼兒認識車的字形和字義，利用玩具車認識認字「車」，幼兒並能夠從工作紙中找出不同的車，並讀出認字「車」。

學習目的:

1.認識在馬路上常見的交通工具的名稱

2.知道乘坐巴士的程序

3.認識「車」的字形和字義

主題----「交通工具」

今週繼續主題「交通工具」，幼兒在老師的介紹下，認識香港使用路軌行駛的交通工具，他們亦利用句式分享自己在香港看見在路軌上的行駛的交通工具，如「我看見地鐵在路軌上」等。老師亦在課室設置路軌，讓幼兒扮演一列火車在路軌上行駛，他們表現投入踴躍。此外，他們亦透過模擬遊戲，模仿乘搭港鐵的程序，在體驗遊戲時更學會了關懷有需要人仕，讓座給他們。

　　他們積極向老師分享自己乘搭路軌上的行駛交通工具的生活經驗。透過老師介紹知道電車上車和下車的位置是不同的，通過遊戲更加鞏固上和下的概念。此外，幼兒初步認識不同車廂內的標誌，嘗試透過小組討論，猜猜其意思，再向老師分享。他們亦願意於課後觀察車廂內的標誌，樂意遵守交通工具的規則，做個有禮的好乘客。

學習目的：

1)認識在路軌上行駛的交通工具

2)知道不同的鐵路會行駛的地區

3)分享自己乘搭路軌上行駛交通工具的經驗

主題：「認識世界」─ 學習尊重不同膚色、種族和文化的人

今週主題繼續圍繞「認識世界」。老師邀請班中的外藉老師和一名幼兒作示範，請大家一起比較他們的樣子，幼兒的觀察能力很強，他們都會說出外貌上的分別，例如「老師的眼珠是啡色的，同學的眼珠是黑色的」，老師再引導幼兒根據髮色、膚色等較明顯的外貌特徵作比較，幼兒都很雀躍地回答兩者的分別。在活動中，幼兒能學習到我們需尊重不同膚色、種族和文化的人，例如外國人說英語，我們說粵語，我們都應該尊重對方的語言，更可向對方學習呢！

除此之外，本星期教授幼兒新的語文技巧－看圖排句，老師透過圖片，請幼兒說出圖片中可得到的四元素（時間、人物、地點、事情）線索，再根據描述該圖片的句子，就著事情的起因、經過、結果作排序。幼兒在活動中勇於嘗試，先將圖片分成是起因/經過/結果，以幫助他們排出圖片的正確次序，大家最後能夠在合作下成功排出正確的次序，令他們充滿成功感，更有信心完成其他題目。

學習目標：

1. 學習尊重不同膚色、種族和文化的人

2. 培養互助互愛的態度

3. 認識各國的新年文化及習俗

4. 學習看圖排句的技巧
