K1 | Winter Wonderland
K1
We’ve kicked off the month of December with our Winter Wonderland theme! It has been fun looking at different Christmas objects and writing our letters to Santa. We discussed the joy of giving present to others, not just receiving. The Geckos worked hard practicing our Christmas concert song Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree and they performed beautifully during our virtual End of Year Concert. We have also been singing other fun Christmas tunes like Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
12月，我們從冬日仙境的主題拉開了序幕！看著不同的孩子給聖誕老人寫信實在是很有趣的事情！我們很快將討論關於不但接受禮物可以帶給我們喜悅，而且還送禮物給他人的也可以獲得喜悅的意義。 K1的「小壁虎」一直在努力練習我們的聖誕節音樂會歌曲在聖誕樹周圍Rockin」。除此之外，我們還演唱了其他有趣的聖誕頌歌，例如：鈴兒響叮噹，聖誕老人來到小鎮和紅鼻子馴鹿魯道夫。
One of the highlights of our theme was the fun science activities! We’ve had the chance to melt our mini–Christmas Trees with baking soda and vinegar and conduct experiments with M&Ms and cookie cutters.
有趣的科學活動是我們本週主題的亮點之一！到目前為止，我們已經有機會用更多的小蘇打和醋融化我們的迷你小蘇打聖誕樹。我們非常高興能夠使用M＆M巧克力和曲奇餅乾進行更多有趣的實驗。
During literacy, we have been covering the letters G and H. The children have been showing great progress by coming up with words that start with the letters we have covered. During numeracy practice, we have been focusing on sequential patterns and how to identify patterns, extend and even create our own patterns.
在識字方面，我們一直在覆蓋字母G和H。孩子們在提出以我們覆蓋的字母開頭的單詞方面表現出了進步。對於數學，我們一直專注於順序模式以及如何識別模式，擴展甚至創建自己的模式。
We’ve been doing some fun Christmas-themed gross motor skills together like our Elf Yoga and Reindeer Bootcamp. The children have started working on more complex fine motor skills as they are learning to cut with scissors. We prepared lots of fun Christmas-themed art projects for the children and it’s been exciting to see the lovely outcomes of their Christmas stockings, their 3-D Christmas cards and their reindeer CD decorations!
我們一直在做一些有趣的以聖誕節為主題的大運動技能，例如Elf Yoga，不久我們將一起進行馴鹿訓練營。孩子們在學習用剪刀剪時，已經開始從事更複雜的精細運動技能的工作。我們為孩子們準備了很多有趣的聖誕節主題藝術作品，很高興看到他們的聖誕襪、他們的3-D聖誕賀卡和馴鹿CD裝飾品的可愛效果！
Wishing you all a very, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
祝大家聖誕節快樂！

K1 students kicked off the theme Winter Wonderland via online learning in December. Through storytelling, they learnt about winter activities, compared the difference in climate between Hong Kong and more northern parts of the world and explored the different clothing we wear during winter. They also learnt winter vocabulary, like snowman, snowflake, Christmas, Santa Claus, scarves, and gloves etc.
冬天來了，K1的孩子們在家中通過網上課程開始了對「冬日仙境」這個主題單元的探討。通過故事《寒冷的冬天》、《滑雪》、《聖誕公公怎樣來的？》，孩子們認識了冬天的天氣和冬天的活動，並且比較了北方的冬天和香港冬天的差異，認識了冬天的服飾和保暖的方法。在課堂活動中，孩子們通過老師設計的網絡遊戲跟老師互動，並且通過跟老師的互動，孩子們學習了「雪人」、「雪花」、「聖誕節」、「聖誕老人」、「圍巾」、「手套」等詞語。孩子們在課堂上積極主動的參與各項活動，並跟同伴友好互動，表現特別棒！
To make it more festive and fun, the students practised a song for the End of Year Concert. They also attended a virtual assessment, and with the guidance and support of parents, the students have shown great learning progress. Well done everyone for participating so well in the online lessons. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
而普天同慶的聖誕節，為冬天增添了歡樂的色彩，孩子們和老師通過「扭來扭去過聖誕」這個舞蹈迎接聖誕聯歡會的到來。與此同時，孩子們還通過小組的形式在網絡上進行了評估活動，通過評估，我們發現，孩子們在爸爸媽媽或者家人的協助下，取得了良好的學習成效，在此感謝每一位支持我們學校的家長，祝你們聖誕快樂，新年吉祥！
