K3 | Amazing Anatomy — Mills International Preschool 苗士國際幼稚園

K3

This month we have continued with our Amazing Anatomy topic of study and have further explored the many fascinating systems within our bodies. This month we built on our knowledge of the different organs to investigate the digestive system, respiratory system, and the circulatory system. The students all displayed inquisitiveness and curiosity as to the complexity of the inside of our bodies. They now each hold a much greater understanding of how everyday tasks such as breathing and eating are carried out by our amazing anatomy.

本月，我們繼續研究「驚人的解剖學」這一個主題，並進一步探索了人體中許多令人著迷的系統。我們以對不同器官的了解作為基礎，研究了消化系統，呼吸系統和循環系統。學生們都對我們身體內部的複雜性表現出好奇和興趣。現在，他們每個人都對我們驚人的解剖結構如何執行諸如呼吸和進食之類的日常任務有了更深入的了解。

In phonics, I have seen significant progress in the children’s spelling. It is evident that they are now feeling much more confident in identifying the short vowel sounds and the process of blending, and this is evident in their weekly spelling tests. We have also continued learning the long vowels and students are recognising these sounds during reading practice.

在語音方面，我看到孩子們在拼寫方面取得的進步。很明顯，他們現在在識別短元音和拼讀過程中更加自信，這體現在他們在聽寫的表現上。我們還繼續學習了長元音，並且學生在閱讀練習中感受這些音節。

In mathematics this month, we have continued with our practice of addition of single digit numbers and began to introduce subtraction too. The students are now familiar with the mathematical symbols for each and able to understand simple equations. We will continue to work towards introducing larger numbers to our addition and subtraction sums in the next month.

在本月的數學活動中，我們繼續進行單位數的加法的練習，並且也開始引入減法。現在，學生已經熟悉了每種數學符號，並且能夠理解簡單的等式。我們將在下個月繼續努力為我們的加減運算引入更大的數字。

This month, as the weather cooled, we had the opportunity to go outside for our physical education class. The students relished the opportunity to get outdoors and participated in a fun and competitive game of football. I hope that in the coming months we will have more opportunity to move our active classes outdoors to enjoy the open space.

這個月，天氣變得涼爽，我們有機會進行戶外體育課。學生們非常喜歡在戶外活動，並參加了一場有趣的足球比賽。我希望在接下來的幾個月中，有更多的機會將課堂轉移到戶外，以享受開闊的活動空間。

Much to their credit, as we made the switch to online learning halfway through this month, the students have not missed a beat, and made the transition seamlessly. I look forward to seeing them all again in class next month and finishing off the year with our Winter Wonderland topic.

值得稱讚的是，當我們在本月中旬轉為在線學習時，學生們並沒有錯過任何學習的機會，我們的課程很流暢。我期待下個月再次在課堂上見到他們，並以我們的冬季仙境主題結束這一年。

Finally, we had four birthdays this month and all enjoyed a fun party together as a class! I want to wish one last happy birthday to Ngo Ching, Ngo Tin, Pranav and Tsz Shun, and thank you to all the parents who contributed to making it such a great morning!

最後，我們這個月有四個生日的小朋友，大家一起參加了一個有趣的聚會！我要祝願Ngo Ching, Ngo Tin, Pranav和Tsz Shun生日快樂，並感謝爸爸媽媽為這一美好的早晨做出的安排！

K3 students have been studying the theme Amazing Anatomy during November. They learnt about their body organs and the workings of the digestive system. Through MindUP deep breathing exercises, the students became more aware of changes in the lungs – expanding when inhaling and shrinking when exhaling. Whilst studying lungs, the students had a great opportunity to meet with ambulance officers at school and learn about the process of resuscitation. During online learning, K3 students have focused on the skeletal form and learnt the importance of exercising in maintaining bone structure.

高班的孩子們在十一月份繼續探索「神奇的人體」，這一次我們進入到身體的内部認識體内重要的器官。我們知道了食物會在消化系統内展開一個漫長的旅程，我們懂得了胃、小腸、大腸各有不同的功能幫助人體消化吸收食物；在練習Mindup的過程中我們感受體内肺部的變化，知道了「吸氣時肺會脹大，呼氣時肺會縮小」，在學習肺部知識時學校恰好安排了救護員到校講座，這讓孩子們親身體驗了如何幫助窒息患者進行復蘇的過程；最後我們在網絡課堂上和老師一起學習了骨骼的作用、主要骨骼的名稱以及運動有益於骨骼生長。
