Highlights of the Week (22/23 Term 2 Week 13)

The PN students are off to a new adventure as the new topic this week is about transportation. They learnt that buses, cars, vans and bicycles travel on land. Some of the students had fun being inside a big toy bus as they pretended to be the driver or the passenger going to school. For English, they discovered that Window, Wings and Watch all begin with the letter W. The children played a mini game where they had to dig out objects that begin with W in a bowl full of rice. They carefully dug into the bowl like explorers till they found one W object and happily showed it in class. For Math, the PN students met their new shape friend, the Diamond. They realized how different the diamond looks compared to the other shapes. The children engaged in a fun physical game where they had to throw the bean bags towards the diamonds, and they cheered for their friends as they tried their best to aim for the shape.

We’re so excited going into the month of May as there’s so much to look forward to. In Cambridge, we continued our theme of Party Clothes and everyone has started bringing in their own favourite party accessories for ‘Show and Tell’. In Critical Thinking this week, we focused on learning about what we see in the sky at night. The students really enjoyed learning about stars; we pretended to go stargazing using a star projector! Learning the colour ‘gold’ was lovely this week as the students made ‘gold medals’ for themselves because they have all made such great progress this year. We have also been singing and dancing lots this week in anticipation for our Mother’s Day concert; we can’t wait for all our beautiful Mommies to see what we are preparing for them

For Critical Thinking, we are learning about the moon and discussing the different characteristics of the moon. Then we also compare the sizes of the moon with Earth and the Sun. Students are then shown how the sun projects the light onto the moon and then onto Earth.

Then teachers demonstrated how the Earth, Sun and the Moon rotate around each other through videos as well as assigning students to role-play the rotation of the moon, sun and the Earth. The students had a lot of fun creating this rotation, which helps them to build up a stronger understanding of how the moon is seen by us here on Earth.

For Math this week, we are learning about half past and how students can identify the half past (or thirty minutes) by looking at the long hand and identifying the hour (by looking at the short hand). Students are then given further practice through games as well as talking about activities that they will do at certain times in their daily routines.

What a fun week here at ABC! We had our first field trip in such a long time to the Science Museum. We had a wonderful time looking at all the cool displays and interactive games. For our Critical Thinking this week we got to choose a planet from our solar system, and got learn even more cool and exciting things about our planets. Did you know it may rain diamonds on our icy giants, Uranus and Neptune? In Math this week, we continued our talks about lines of symmetry, focusing on horizontal lines of symmetry. So now we know the difference between vertical and horizontal lines. In our Physical Play time we worked on our gross motor skills by practicing tossing and bounce-passing balls to our friends. We hope you all will a great rest of your week!

PN 主題「交通工具」

今週是主題「交通工具」的第二週，幼兒認識交通工具—港鐵，幼兒認識港鐵的外貌、設施，老師亦讓幼兒嘗試進行模擬乘坐港鐵遊戲。過程中幼兒能夠認識到乘坐港鐵可使用八達通，乘坐時需要遵守港鐵的規則，並透過扮乘客和港鐵服務員這些角色，體驗乘坐港鐵的過程。

除了模擬遊戲之外，老師亦讓幼兒認識飛機在天空上飛行，幼兒嘗試參與放「紙飛機」遊戲，幼兒能夠看得到紙飛機在空中上逗留的狀態，正是飛機在天空上飛行般。體驗一下紙飛機在天空上飛行的樂趣。

老師教導幼兒製作交通工具手工「紙盒汽車」，幼兒為汽車貼上窗和選擇自己的好朋友貼在汽車上。並向大家分享自己製作的是什麼車。

學習目的：

1. 能夠製作紙盒汽車

2. 認識乘坐港鐵的過程

3 享受放紙飛機的樂趣

主題----「交通工具」

今週繼續主題「交通工具」，幼兒仔細聆聽老師說的謎語和介紹，認識不同海和天空的交通工具，他們積極向老師分享自己乘搭這些交通工具的生活經驗。

幼兒更躍躍參與運用色紙摺出屬於自己的小船參加海上航行遊戲，透過探索遊戲，探索船如何在水上航行，他們積極嘗試運用不同的方法推動小船。在老師的介紹下認識了飛機及飛機以外的航空工具，老師亦在課室設置停機坪，讓幼兒扮演飛機，模仿飛機起飛和降落的情況，他們表現投入興奮。此外，透過不同的影片更了解更多的航空工具，例如直升機、火箭等，老師利用投射器讓幼兒了解和探索地球以外的地方，他們表現享受和興奮。

學習目的：

1)認識在海上和空中的交通工具

2) 探索推動小船的方法

3) 知道空中交通工具能到地球以外的地方

主題：「認識世界」─ 認識「世界之最」的事物

今週主題繼續圍繞「認識世界」。老師讓幼兒透過影片和圖片認識「世界之最」的事物，如世界上最大的海洋動物、世界上最長的橋等等，我們更讓幼兒與班內的同學們玩「班中之最」遊戲，我們一起透過觀察、比較來找出班中最高的幼兒、班中手掌最大的幼兒，過程中大家都非常雀躍地參與，更會推薦自己或一些他們認為是該類別之最的同學出來比比看，並會說出「我覺得他最高的！」、「我覺得自己手掌最大的的！」，老師也很欣賞他們會積極參與和用心觀察的態度呢！

除此之外，本星期教授幼兒語文技巧－重組句子，老師透過有關四元素的詞語（時間、人物、地點、事情），請幼兒以數字排列次序，整體可見幼兒對於四元素的熟悉度大有進步，大部分都能自己說出詞語並排列正確次序。

學習目標：

1. 認識世界之最的事物

2. 找出班中之最，提升幼兒的比較能力和觀察能力

3. 學習重組句子的技巧
