It’s the most wonderful time of the year! The festive season is finally here, and we have had so much fun celebrating all things Christmas this month.
這是一年中最精彩的時間！歡樂的季節終於到來了，我們在各項的慶祝活動中感受了各種樂趣。
First, we wrapped up our Minibeasts topic with the students participating in our topic based assessments. Everyone did so well, and they were all able to recall the different insects, their habitats and life cycles during our discussions.
首先，我們參與了「小型生物」這個主題的單元評估。所有的小朋友都表現很好，他們通過討論，能回憶起不同昆蟲的名稱、牠們的生活習性以及生命週期。
I have been so impressed with the effort and engagement from the K2 students during online learning. It is a pleasure to see all their happy and enthusiastic faces on the screen every day and to receive pictures, homework, tasksheets etc that they have been completing at home.
K2的孩子們在網上學習的過程中所付出的努力和投入給我留下了深刻的印象。很高興每天在屏幕上看到他們所有快樂和熱情的面孔，並收到他們在家完成的圖片、作業、工作紙等。
December has been the holliest and jolliest of months because of our new topic, Winter Wonderland! It’s a great opportunity to learn about the joy that Christmas can bring to us all. We have dressed up to sing festive songs, played Christmas themed games, listened to special Christmas stories, made beautiful decorations for our homes and explored everything that comes with the winter season.
由於我們的新主題“冬日仙境”，12月一直是幾個月中最開心最快樂的月份！這是一個很好的機會，了解聖誕節可以帶給我們所有人的歡樂。我們打扮整齊，唱著節日歌曲，參加聖誕節主題遊戲，聽完了特別的聖誕節故事後，我們還為我們的房屋做了漂亮的裝飾，並一起探索冬季帶來的一切。
We were incredibly proud of how well the K2 Toucans and Penguins have rehearsed and performed their Christmas song, Jingle Bells. They learnt the lyrics and dance moves very well and performed like super stars at the virtual End of Year Concert.
我們為K2排練聖誕歌曲的出色表現感到無比自豪。他們非常了解歌詞和舞步，並在網上進行的的年終音樂會上像超級巨星一樣表演。
We have been challenging the students with weekly numeracy and phonics spelling tests. It is great to see them writing their 0 – 30 numerals independently and recognising and spelling more advanced words. We even spelled a five-letter word, which is fantastic for this stage in the academic year.
我們一直通過每週的算術和語音拼寫測試來挑戰學生。很高興看到他們能獨立書寫0到30個數字，並能識別和拼寫程度更深的單詞。我們甚至還拼寫了五個字母的單詞呢，對於這一階段的孩子來說真是太棒了。
We couldn’t be prouder of the enthusiasm, resilience and passion for learning that this K2 class has displayed this term. We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We look forward to seeing you all in 2021.
我們為K2班在這個學期的靈活性和學習熱情而感到自豪。祝您和家人聖誕快樂，新年快樂！我們期待在2021年見到大家。

Time has flown and we have come to the end of the year. During our theme, Winter Wonderland, the K2 students have explored the festivities of Christmas, the weather and the clothing we wear in winter. They learnt to make short phrases and sentences using Christmas, Christmas tree, Christmas present, Santa Claus, and put on your jacket/sweater/gloves/scarves etc.
時間飛快，轉眼間我們又送走了秋天，迎來了冬天的到來。在「冬日仙境」這個主題單元中，孩子們通過故事《聖誕公公怎樣來的？》、《外面真冷呀！》等故事，了解了冬天的節日、氣候特徵和冬天的服飾。通過學習，孩子們掌握了詞彙「聖誕節」、「聖誕樹」、「聖誕禮物」、「聖誕老人」、「穿上大衣」、「穿上毛衣」、「穿上棉襖」、「戴上手套」、「圍上圍巾」等詞語或短句， 並通過《北風吹》這首兒歌加強了孩子們對生詞的掌握。
The students have been enjoying the fun of online lessons. They actively responded to their teachers, completed daily homework and were eager to share their learning outcomes with their teachers and classmates. They have also participated in the virtual End of Year Concert to celebrate this special occasion. Have a joyful Christmas everyone!
網絡教學對於孩子和老師來說，不再是新的體驗，孩子們越來越享受網絡教學帶來的樂趣。很開心看到孩子們能投入到各項活動和遊戲中，不管是在全班的課堂上還是在小組評估課堂，孩子們都能在家長的協助下積極主動地回答問題，而且能按時完成每天的學習任務，看著孩子們每天都迫不及待地跟老師、同伴分享自己的學習成果，老師感到特別欣慰。在這裡要真誠地感謝家長們對我們學校的支持：「謝謝你們！」
我們還一起載歌載舞，一起慶祝聖誕節的來臨，在這個普天同慶的日子裡，祝福家長和孩子們：「聖誕快樂，新年吉祥！」
