Highlights of the Week

This week was full of joy because the PN students had two days of face to face learning at school. The children are slowly adapting to the new schedules and they remained high spirited to see everyone again. The theme this week is all about public transportation in Hong Kong. They learnt the different types of buses, minibuses, and taxis. The children took turns pretending to be a passenger or a bus driver through music. For Math, the children learned all about the diamond shape and daily objects such as jewelries, kites, and road signs that are in the shape of diamonds. We look forward to having the children back every day starting from next week.

We’re all really enjoying being back in the classroom together as we’re able to do lots of hands on activities with everyone. For Cambridge this week, we recapped our transport verbs from last week and played charades as we looked at verbs related to everyday activities that we enjoy, such as brushing our teeth and swimming. We are so proud of our students for displaying the confidence to come up and act out these actions for their friends! We had a fruitful week of revision for Phonics as we played a variety of games to revise our sounds from /a/ - /r/. In Math this week, we practiced counting to 15 and learned more about the colour gold by helping our pirate find all his gold treasure. We also introduced the concept of ‘in’ and ‘out’ by helping the pirate put all of his gold treasure back into his treasure chest. Lastly, we started our Critical Thinking theme of ‘Nature’ by looking at plants and what they need to grow. This week has been full of lots of great activities and we know next week will be even better as we will be resuming our face to face classes. Looking forward to seeing everyone and having lots more fun next week! J

The K2 students were thrilled to be back at school for more than one day this week. This week we read the fairy tale of “The Three Billy Goats Gruff.” We then learned about some of the most beautiful and most dangerous bridges in the world. This all culminated in the students making their very own bridges in class, with a focus on creativity as they were able to use just about whatever they could find. There were some very neat and inventive looking bridges! For math lessons, we have started to learn how to tell time from digital clocks, as well as how to count backwards from 20. We’ve watched a couple different countdowns, from a space shuttle launch to a New Year’s Eve countdown, to practice. We look forward to next week when we will be able to spend the whole week at school!

Hello everyone! We hope everyone had a wonderful Mother’s Day! We heard some lovely stories and fun adventures from our students this week. For critical thinking this week we began insect unit. We’ve talked about what makes something an insect, and the important role they play on our ecosystems. We also focused on one particular insect this week; the ant. Ask your child if they can correctly identify an insect. Make sure to look for legs and body parts. For Math this week we have started to solve word problems, with an emphasis on addition. We also continued to review money math and identification. During our physical play, we started to build our muscles and review our stretches and why they’re important to do before physical activities. See how many squats you can do, but be sure to stretch those legs! Have a fantastic rest of your week and try to stay dry out there!

主題：「有益的食物」─吃出健康來

承接上週的食物金字塔，老師今週繼續「有益的食物」這主題，請幼兒牢記有益的食物應多吃，例如白飯、蔬菜和水果等，這樣才能有一個健康的體魄。另外，老師請幼兒選出自己喜歡的食物，並嘗試以言語表達，藉此提升幼兒的口語表達能力。

最後，透過故事《口渴的烏鴉》，老師帶出喝水的重要，每天需要喝八杯水，並延伸討論進食前要先洗手，保障個人衛生及健康。

學習目的：

(1) 能分辨有益的食物

(2) 懂得正確洗手的方法

(3) 認識「米」的讀音和字形

主題：「有益的食物」－選擇健康的食物

今週主題繼續圍繞「有益的食物」，透過出示不同餸菜的圖片，幼兒學習分辨不同肉類是來自哪一種動物，藉此認識不同動物會供給人們不同的食材。另外，幼兒初步認識魚類大致可分為鹹水魚和淡水魚，認識不同種類的魚外，也認識魚的營養價值。

最後，老師引導幼兒思考常吃巧克力、糖果、雪糕等零食帶來的後果，幼兒都能說出吃得太多可能會肚痛或蛀牙等，老師藉此帶出這些零食都不健康，以及防止蛀牙的方法。爸爸媽媽在家也可提醒幼兒選擇健康的食物，培養健康飲食的習慣啊！

學習目的:

(1) 知道肉和魚是有益的食物

(2) 知道部份零食無益，不宜吃太多

(3) 培養健康飲食的習慣

主題:「小小科學家」─ 認識聲音

今週主題繼續圍繞「小小科學家」。繼上週的「光和影」，老師今週與幼兒討論「聲音」。透過碰撞、敲擊及搖動物品後產生聲音，幼兒學習到震動能產生聲音。藉着影片分享，幼兒初步認識聲波和頻率，對於不同的聲波會產生不同的頻率，幼兒都感到很好奇呢！於是，老師與幼兒一起進行「看得見的聲音」實驗，幼兒看見鹽的震動都感到十分興奮！爸爸媽媽在家也可與幼兒瀏覽及進行有關聲音的實驗，延伸是次主題的學習呢！

學習目標：

(1 )認識物體震動能產生聲音

(2) 認識聲波的頻率和震動的關係

(3) 知道撞擊次數多少會影響聲音的大小

主題：「小小科學家」─ 有趣的電

本週主題繼續圍繞科學，老師以不同的生活例子引起小朋友對電力的興趣。透過小組討論，小朋友分享日常用電的經驗。然後，老師引導小朋友觀察四周環境，探究電力來源。於小組活動時間，小朋友更當起小小科學家來，研究怎樣能令鬧鐘啟動起來，過程中，小朋友發掘到原來電池有正、負極之分，也有不同的大小，小朋友對這發現感到很興奮呢！

語文技巧方面，小朋友今週完成了供詞造句的練習，透過創作句子，小朋友温故知新，也鞏固了四素句的結構和概念。

學習目的:

(1) 知道正確使用電池的方法

(2) 探究電力的來源

(3) 明白節約電源的重要性
