Highlights of the Week

Our youngest students are slowly getting back to their regular routine. They continue exploring new things and creating friendships. This week they were introduced to Phonics and the first sound in line - /a/. The children have learnt that /a/ is the beginning sound for apple, ant, and alligator! We continue our theme - Parks and this week the students had a blast playing pretend picnic! For Math, the children were introduced to number 8 through different fun games, another great week at school!

Our K1 students have been very busy this week as they continue to explore different topics through fun games and activities. We have moved on to our final unit of ‘Party Clothes’ in Cambridge this week as our students talk about what they would wear to a party. We are also nearly done with learning all our Phonics sounds as we move on to sounds /u/ and /v/ this week. Our K1 children have had a wonderful time playing games like limbo for /u/ as they try to go under the string. Let’s also not forget about our cool volcano experiment this week to learn about /v/. It’s all about matching for Math this week as our students explored the concept of sorting similar objects together. All of our K1s were keen on helping sort different things by colour through fun relay games and were very eager to find matching pairs of patterned socks in our little clothes line. We continue our topic of Insects this week as we dive deeper into looking at bees for Critical Thinking. Our students were able to use their knowledge to build a giant bee together. They also had a great time pretending to be busy bumblebees as they harvest ‘nectar’ from flowers and deliver to their hive. Finally, we end our week with something sweet as our K1 students were able to touch and feel honeycomb.

Hello all! In Critical Thinking this week we are diving even deeper into the theme of Insects, by focusing on one specific insect, the bee! We have been learning how honey is made and how bees go from eggs to larvae to fully grown. We have also been learning about how important bees are to flowers. It’s been mighty fun! We got to look at a model of a bee hive and a honeycomb too! In Math we have continued on the theme of how to tell time by learning about half past. This week we are focusing on digital clocks, but next week we will be looking at how to tell “half past” on analog clocks! We have also been practicing counting down all the way from 50-21. The weather outside this week has been a bit gloomy, however it hasn’t dampened our spirits here in K2!

Hello everyone! We hope everyone has been staying dry this rainy week. We have officially began practicing for our graduations and learning our songs. Everyone is doing such a great job! In our critical thinking lesson, we have transition from bees and flowers to the plants we eat. We’ve discussed the different parts of a plant. We learned which vegetables are roots, tubers, stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits. We discussed all the tasks that go into making these vegetables and how they end up on our plates. In math this week we’ve continued our symmetry discussions and the difference between vertical and horizontal. We also have reviewed our addition word problems with even larger numbers! During our physical play we focused on our lower bodies this week by working our legs and gluteus maximus!

主題：「交通工具」─ 馬路上常見的交通工具名稱

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，例如巴士丶電車和港鐵等。另外，老師又邀請幼兒利用玩具車、玩具火車等分享不同交通工具的名稱和用途。

為配合主題，老師準備了「紙盒汽車」圖工，幼兒為汽車貼上窗，並貼上自己好朋友的頭像，完成後，幼兒高與地和同學分享自己的作品呢！

語文技巧方面，幼兒認識「車」的字形和字義，幼兒從教具停車場認識「車」，學習從停車場中找出「車」字，並將「車」泊在停車場裏。

學習目的:

(1) 認識在馬路上常見的交通工具名稱

(2) 透過圖工培養幼兒的創意及訓練小手肌

(3) 認識「車」的字形和字義

主題：「交通工具」─ 陸上的交通工具

今星期展開新主題「交通工具」。老師透過故事介紹各種常見的陸上交通工具，例如巴士、小巴、的士等。老師又引導幼兒嘗試比較各陸上交通工具的不同之處，包括外型、車箱內設計、座位數量等。另外，老師帶領幼兒進行角色扮演，模擬公共交通工具的上落方式、付款方法、等侯上車的地點等，引導幼兒分享經驗，藉此提升幼兒的口語表達能力。

學習目標：

(1) 認識各種常見的陸上交通工具

(2) 比較巴士、小巴、的士的不同之處

(3) 知道公共交通工具是大眾都可使用的

主題: 「認識世界」─世界大不同

今週展開新主題「認識世界」，透過圖片分享，幼兒認識到地球是一個球體，包含陸地和海洋。老師藉此帶出世界地圖，並和幼兒一起找出香港的位置，以及認識不同的國家。老師其後與幼兒延伸討論各個國家不同的服飾和飲食文化，以及不同地方也有不同的打招呼的方式，希望藉此教導幼兒尊重文化差異、不同種族和各地文化。

學習目的：

(1) 認識地球包含陸地和海洋

(2) 認識不同國家的美食及飲食文化

(3) 學習尊重文化差異

主題：「交通工具」─ 古時與現今的交通工具

今週展開新主題「交通工具」。老師先與小朋友討論香港的交通工具，他們已有深入的認識，也能說出各種交通工具的名稱、行走的地方、乘坐時的規則等。其後，老師引導小朋友思考並討論古時有沒有交通工具，以及古時的交通工具是怎樣的。討論後，老師便向小朋友展示古時交通工具的圖片，例如馬車、人力車、花橋等，他們紛紛表示現代的交通工具比以前的更方便快捷呢！

最後，透過多媒體影片，老師與小朋友重溫陸上的公共交通工具，例如巴士、的士、小巴等，並透過簡單圖表，教導小朋友比較不同的陸上公共交通工具，例如座位數量、車輪數量、車門數量、乘座方法等。

學習目的:

(1) 認識香港的交通工具

(2) 認識古今交通工具的轉變

(3) 認識社會進步與交通工具轉變的關係
