K3 | Journey Back in Time
K3
The students have adapted well to online learning and it was great to see them so focused during recent lessons.
首先，很開心孩子們都能很快地適應網上課程。他們都能專注各項地學習內容。
During September, we took a Journey Back in Time to ancient Egypt. The students engaged well with the topic and asked a lot of great, inquisitive questions! They were surprised to learn that the pyramids are near the city, that Arabic is the spoken language in modern Egypt, and that the pyramids are tombs of the pharaohs.
9月，我們和孩子們一起跟著「時光機」回到了埃及。孩子們積極參與各項活動，並提出了許多充滿好奇的問題！他們驚訝地發現金字塔就在城市的附近，阿拉伯語是現代埃及的口語，而金字塔是法老的陵墓。
As we delved deeper into the topic, the students took a keen interest in what was inside the pyramids. One student asked If the pyramid is not a house, then what is inside? So we began our discussions on mummies and the sarcophagus. Again, it was wonderful to hear the children be so curious.
當我們深入研究該主題時，學生們對金字塔內的事物變得非常感興趣。一個孩子問老師：「如果金字塔不是房子，那裡面有什麼呢？」因此，我們開始了有關木乃伊和石棺的討論。再次為孩子的好奇心感到由衷的快樂。
They were very excited to show us all their beautiful artworks too!
孩子們也很高興向我們展示他們所有美麗的美勞作品！
K3 students have also been busy with their writing practice this month. They learnt how to write a short introduction about themselves, and to think about the things they can and can’t do.
K3的學生在本月也開始忙於書寫的練習。他們學習如何進行簡短的自我介紹，以及思考什麼是自己可以做的？什麼是不能做的？
In Numeracy, the children have been revising numbers 1 – 50 and learning about odd and even numbers.
在計算能力的學習中，孩子們學習了1-50的數字和數量，並學習了奇數和偶數的概念。
September has been a great month and we were delighted to welcome the students back on campus where more fun exploration and learning awaits!
九月是一個特別棒的月份，我們終於在在月尾迎來了學生重返校園的大日子，我們歡迎孩子們一起回到教室裏進行更有趣的學習和探索。

During their theme People and the Past K3 students discovered that archaeologists learn about ancient people by studying fossils and relics. They learnt that ancient people knew how to use fire to keep warm and how to sew using needles made from bone. They also discovered that ancient people grew crops and build houses which gradually developed into larger towns.
高班的孩子和老師們以「回到過去」這一主題開啓了新學年的學習旅程。首先，我們認識了「考古學家」，知道了考古學家的工作是通過發掘化石和遺跡來研究並重塑人類祖先的模型和他們的生活足跡。我們知道了人類祖先直立人和智人在遠古時代已經懂得使用火，並且會利用骨針將動物的皮毛縫製成保暖的衣物。隨後，我們知道了人類祖先開始在河流兩邊耕種農作物、建造房屋並逐步形成城鎮和國家，於是人類歷史上有了「四大文明古國」。
K3 have also been exploring the Four Ancient Civilisations. They began by studying ancient Egypt and learnt that the Nile is the longest river in the world. They also learnt that when the Pharaoh (the King during ancient Egypt) died, he was mummified and buried in the pyramid. They then explored Mesopotamia and ancient India, before learning about ancient China. When exploring ancient China, students learnt about the famous Yangtze River and Huang He River, and learnt that Qin was the first emperor of China. The students were shown pictures of the magnificent Terracotta Army, which was buried with the emperor Qin to protect him in the afterlife. Finally, they learnt about the Forbidden City in Beijing.
我們從非洲的古埃及出發，逐一造訪了四大文明古國。在學習古埃及的歷史中，我們知道了「尼羅河是世界第一長的河流」以及「古埃及的國王被稱爲法老，法老死後會被製作成木乃伊安葬在金字塔。」 ；接著，我們到訪了美索不達米亞和古印度；最後我們到達了古中國，認識了「長江」 和「黃河」 這兩大河流，並知道了「中國歷史上第一位使用皇帝稱號的君主是秦始皇」 ，在網絡課堂上，透過老師展示的圖片我們看到了場面非常壯觀的秦始皇兵馬俑，由此知道了秦始皇給自己建造了一個龐大的秦始皇陵，之後我們到了北京的故宮，這也是我們此次旅程的終點，我們完成了四大文明古國之旅。
K3 students have learnt about the wisdom of the ancient people and how they contributed to the development of modern society. We should treasure what they have done for us.
在「回到過去」這一主題中，我們學習了人類祖先運用他們的智慧在世界上努力生活的歷史，知道了人類社會發展到今天是前人付出了很多努力，因此我們也要認真努力地學習和生活。
