Highlights of the Week (24/25 Term 2 Week 16)

This week, our Pre-nursery stars dove into the exciting world of sea transportation. They learned about boats, ships, and submarines while enjoying a hands-on Sink or Float experiment, where they tested different objects to see which ones stayed on the water and which ones sank—so much splashing fun! 

For Letter U, we had a blast with two engaging activities: first, the children practiced writing the letter U in rainbow colours using crayons. Then, they went on a "Letter U Hunt" around the classroom, finding objects and pictures that start with U, like umbrella, up, and under. 

In Math, our little learners explored patterns through a colourful "Sticker Pattern" activity, where they created AB sequences (like circle-square, circle-square) using bright stickers. They loved making their own pattern strips to take home!  What a week of discovery, creativity, and learning! We can’t wait for more adventures next week. Stay tuned for more fun!

We have loved having our parents come in this week to watch our Cambridge lessons. We learned about items of clothing through various games and activities, while practicing the sentence structure, “I’m wearing …” We were also able to show our parents how independent we have become as we completed challenging listening exercises from our SuperMinds Starters book throughout the week. In Critical Thinking this week, we recapped our modes of land transport and introduced some modes of water and air transport too. We also completed our HK Taxi craft from last week by drawing on doors, windows, and passengers; what a great exercise for our fine motor skills. In Math, we did another experiment of mixing colours; mixing red and blue to make purple. It was tricky to get the shade of purple we wanted but that was a great way to demonstrate the importance experimenting and trying different ways. It’s been an eventful week and we look forward to more fun next week.

What an exciting week of new learning! This week we had our parents joining us for Cambridge lessons as we learnt about the rooms in our house as well as finding the relating activity or objects belonging to each of the room. We practiced describing objects by using the target sentence “There’s a / there are”.

For Math this week, we have started doing some practice on subtraction. We used real objects to grasp the concept of “taking away” the number as well as using the number line to help us find the answer. We also used a lot of classroom objects to learn about the concept of “counting in 2s”.

It’s all about travelling in Critical Thinking lesson. We are having a great blast learning about our friends’ travels over the holidays by listening to their Show and Tell. K2 students brought pictures and souvenirs from their travels to share and gave great descriptions of the places they saw and the things they did. We all can’t wait for next week’s upcoming lessons as we eagerly prepare for a thrilling airplane roleplay, embarking on our own K2 journey. See you next week!

Hello and welcome back to another exciting week with our K3 friends!

This week in our Cambridge class, we began exploring various types of gadgets! Our friends had a great time learning about the evolution of technology and its significance in our daily lives. We covered everything from the earliest inventions to the latest cutting-edge devices. We also incorporated these gadgets into our lessons on comparatives and superlatives, finding it fascinating to compare older devices with modern ones while discussing their efficiency and user-friendliness.

In our Critical Thinking class, we took a deeper dive into our ongoing space project. It was truly rewarding to witness our friends fully engaged in their tasks, their faces glowing with genuine excitement and curiosity. They put in a lot of effort into the project, eagerly discovering more about space and unraveling its mysteries like a giant puzzle!

In our final Math session, we continued our journey into fractions. Our classmates expanded their understanding of denominators and numerators! It was delightful to see how our friends applied these concepts to real-life situations, especially when it came to sharing!

And that’s a wrap for this week! We hope you enjoyed reading about the thrilling learning adventures of our K3 friends! Until next week!

本週是主題「交通工具」的第四週。老師透過與幼兒模仿乘坐天星小輪，幼兒知道乘坐天星小輪的步驟，例如排隊入閘、付款、尋找座位、安坐等，隨後老師邀請幼兒分享他們見過或乘坐過的船隻經驗。

        然後，老師準備紙船和玩具船，讓幼兒試著在水中觀察它們的浮沉情況。透過實驗觀察，幼兒知道船會浮在水面上，而車是沉在水底，所以車只能行駛在路面上。另外，幼兒觀察到車能行駛在路面上是因為有車輪，而船則沒有車輪，所以船不會在路面上行駛，船是靠撥動船槳或發動機等方式在水上行駛。     

         最後，老師播放划船的影片，展示划船時使用船槳的各種動作和技巧。通過觀看影片，幼兒能夠清楚地認識如何划船。其後，老師帶領幼兒一起唱起兒歌《搖小船》，伴隨著音樂和歌聲，老師和幼兒們拿起船槳，模仿影片中划船的姿態和動作，讓幼兒享受乘船的樂趣。

學習目的：

1.       明白乘坐船隻的程序

2.       認識浮和沉

3. 享受撐船的樂趣

主題：「衣服」－合適的衣服

今週主題繼續圍繞「衣服」，老師出示了不同的衣服，請幼兒選取適合炎夏穿著的衣服，並與幼兒討論不同天氣穿著的衣服有何不同，例如質地及裁剪等，更一同討論衣服的花紋特色。另外，我們在課室中模擬到服裝店購物的情景，幼兒都踴躍分享，老師藉此帶出購物的步驟─挑選心儀的衣服、到試身室試穿、到服務櫃檯付款。家長也可以在週末帶同幼兒到服裝店參觀，讓幼兒回來分享購物經驗。

學習目的:

1) 能配對不同天氣適合穿著的衣服種類         

2) 懂得選擇合適的衣服

3) 認識到服裝店購物的程序

主題----「幫助我們的人」

     今週展開了新的主題「幫助我們的人」，老師與幼兒一同探索有哪些人為社會帶來貢獻。今週，老師先與小朋友討論消防員，部份小朋友主動分享他們曾參觀消防局的經歷。老師介紹消防員的制服、裝備和職責等等。之後，老師讓小朋友學習發生火警時的應變方法，從而培養他們的安全和防火意識。    其次，小朋友也親身穿著消防衣及配戴消防配件，從而去模擬消防員救火，過程中小朋友亦表現得十分的投入。另外，老師也帶小朋友去發掘學校內所安置的消防設備與措施。最後，這週與幼兒重溫了合體字，通過分辨不同字型去鞏固他們對上下結構以和左右結構的認識。

學習目的：

1) 認識消防員的制服和裝備

2) 學習發生火警時的應變方法

3) 培養幼兒有防火意識

今週展開新的主題「購物樂」，老師利用圖片或實物，讓幼兒認識貨幣的面值和特徵，以及辨別香港流通的貨幣。然後，老師利用故事和實物向幼兒介紹不同付款的方式，例如：八達通、支票、信用卡等等。透過互相討論，幼兒知道金錢是從哪裏來，並學懂感謝爸媽辛勞工作以養育自己。

學習目的：

1.   認識香港流通貨幣的面值和特徵

2.   認識不同的付款方法

3.   知道金錢從哪裏來
