K2 | I Live in Hong Kong
K2
The K2 students began this month by considering the different aspects of our world and how we can care for them during our Care for All Things week. I was delighted by the efforts the students made to engage with the different ways we can care for our planet. Students cared for and then regifted their plants to loved ones, reduced, recycled and reused different materials and demonstrated love and kindness to their families, friends and pets.
K2學生本月開始考慮我們世界的不同方面，以及在「關愛週」的主題中學習如和我們如何關愛這一切。孩子們以不同方式參與我們對地球的關心，他們付出的努力使我感到高興。學生們照顧他們的植物，然後將它們贈予所愛的人，減少，回收和再利用各種材料，並向家人，朋友和寵物表達愛意和友善。
Then, we took a journey across Hong Kong to discover the wonders that we can see in this exciting city. We explored the many different modes of transportation we can see and the delectable delights that we can eat.
然後，我們穿越香港，發現了在這個令人興奮的城市中可以看到的奇觀。我們探索了我們可以看到的許多不同的交通方式以及可以吃到的美味佳餚。
The K2 students have been challenged with weekly spelling tests and I have been very impressed with the standard of effort put in. The children are utilising their learnt phonics skills to blend, differentiate and write increasingly difficult sounds and words. The K2 class are now confident with pronouncing and recognising the phonetic sounds we have covered so far, and we are now focusing on the formation of full sentences.
K2學生每週都要進行拼寫測試，而他們的努力給我留下了深刻的印象。孩子們正在利用他們所學的拼音技巧來融合，區分和書寫越來越困難的字母發音和單詞。 K2班級現在對念出和識別到目前為止我們所覆蓋的語音有信心，並且我們現在專注於完整句子的練習。
We have covered a broad range of topics in numeracy. We reviewed counting from 0 – 100 and 2-D shapes, and have moved on to learning addition and subtraction and 3-D shapes. We have also conducted weekly numeracy tests, where the students have shown great skills by writing numbers 0 – 60 and calculating basic addition and subtraction questions.
我們已經涵蓋了許多有關計算的內容。我們回顧了從0到100和2D形狀的計數，並繼續學習加減法和3D形狀。我們還進行了每週的算術測試，通過顯示0至60的數字並計算基本的加減題，學生展示出了出色的技能。
We have also been striving to stay fit and active this January! Online learning has not stopped this K2 class from getting up and moving, and we have found lots of different ways to exercise at home. We have practiced yoga, become experts at throwing and catching, learnt the skills of cricket and rounders and honed our fine and gross motor skills during hopscotch!
今年一月，我們也一直在努力保持健康和活躍！在線學習並沒有阻止這門K2學生學習的規律，我們發現了許多不同的在家鍛煉的方式。我們練習過瑜伽，成為投擲和接球方面的專家，學習了板球和圓形比賽的技巧，並在跳房子時磨練了我們的大肌肉和小肌肉的運動技能！
It has been another excellent month of virtual adventures and we are now looking forward to celebrating Chinese New Year at Mills!
這是虛擬冒險又一個出色的月份，我們現在期待在苗士慶祝農曆新年活動的到來。

K2 students began Term 2 with our Care for All Things event. Through games and storytelling, they learnt to be mindful of our animals, family, friends and the environment. They demonstrated how to show love and kindness to the others by donating old clothes and toys.
低班的小朋友在假期過後，迎來了第二個學期的到來，在「關愛身邊的一切」這個主題單元當中，孩子們通過不同的網絡遊戲和故事，認識了關愛動物、關愛家人、關愛朋友、關愛地球、關愛環境的重要性。孩子們懂得了「愛」的重要性，並知道了表達「愛」的方法，通過實際行動，孩子們還積極地為有需要的人捐款、捐物，用自己的行動表達對身邊的人的關愛。
During the theme I Live in Hong Kong, students have been focusing on different local transportation and food. They learnt to make sentences like ‘my favourite more of transportation is…’ in Mandarin.
接下來，我們開始了「我住在香港」的學習，我們一起通過故事認識了香港的海、陸、空交通工具，並通過兒歌《交通工具》加深了孩子們對汽車、的士、巴士、小巴、電車、渡海小輪、飛機、直升飛機的認識，並能通過生動有趣的互動遊戲用「我最喜歡的交通工具是——」進行造句。 接著，我們開始認識香港的美食，我們帶著從北京來的「傑傑」（小布偶）一起遊香港，並請傑傑去酒樓吃香港的傳統點心和地道美食，由此，我們知道香港不但交通便利，而且還是美食之都呢！
They have started to explore our new theme Children Around the World. They understood that China is a multi-national country and learnt to identify landmarks of China.
一月我們還在「世界各地的小朋友」這個主題單元中，拉開了認識各個國家的序幕。首先，我們通過故事《民族舞真好看》、《祖國名勝》、《中國著名的城市》等故事認識了中國是一個多民族的國家，並且了解了中國的名勝和著名城市。
They have also been practising and performing songs for our Chinese New Year celebration.
並通過排練《新年好》這首兒歌迎接農曆新年的到來。
We greatly appreciate your ongoing support during this time of online learning. We hope you are all staying happy and healthy.
在此，感謝爸爸、媽媽在網絡教學中給予我們支持，孩子們有你的陪伴一定能夠度過健康的每一天。
