K3 | Winter Wonderland — Mills International Preschool 苗士國際幼稚園

K3

The students have done an admirable job transitioning back to our online learning platforms this month! As we moved into December, we began our Winter Wonderland theme and have been exploring a variety of winter animals, clothing, weathers, and activities. The students have learnt about how winter is different in various places around the world and how animals react and adapt during the winter months.

孩子們在本月的網上學習過渡得非常出色！當我們進入12月時，我們開始了冬季仙境主題，通過探索各種冬天的動物、衣服、天氣和活動。學生們了解了世界各地不同的冬季，以及冬天動物的活動和反應。

We have engaged in some fun and interactive Christmas activities and crafts. The students showed great excitement as they wrote letters to Santa Claus and received a letter in return from the Head Elf. We also spent time practicing and rehearsing our Christmas song and performed it beautifully during our virtual End of Year Concert!

我們還進行了一些有趣的互動聖誕節活動和手工藝品製作。當學生給聖誕老人寫信並收到小精靈的回信時，他們表現出極大的興奮。我們還花了一些時間練習我們的聖誕歌曲，並在我們的網上年終音樂會上進行了精彩的表演！

In Phonics, we have continued learning the long vowel sounds, concentrating on the long U sounds. We have also reviewed both the r-blends and l-blends, with each of the students building more confidence in spelling and reading more complex words. I am proud of the progress the class is making in their phonics.

在語音的學習中，我們繼續學習長元音，重點是長U的發音。我們還複習了r和l的拼讀，使每個學生在拼寫和閱讀更複雜的單詞時都更加自信。我為全班學生在語音上所取得的進步感到自豪。

We have also made great progress in our numeracy lessons! We have learnt a number of strategies for calculating subtraction and addition sums and they are utilising them with great success. This month we also introduced the process of estimating and the students enjoyed the games and activities related to making estimations

孩子們的數學課程也取得了很大的進步！我們已經學習了許多用於計算減法和加法的方法，並且能夠成功的在運算中加以運用。本月我們還介紹了估算過程，學生們喜歡與估算有關的遊戲和活動。

Despite the distance learning, we have had a fun, enjoyable, and educational month. The students have worked very hard and should enjoy their much-deserved Christmas break. I hope everyone has a great time over the holiday period and stays safe and healthy.

儘管是網上學習，但我們度過了一個有趣，愉快和具有教育意義的月份。孩子們都非常努力，接下來，應該享受他們的假期。希望大家在假期期間度過愉快的時光，並保持安全健康。

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and I look forward to seeing you all next year.

祝福大家聖誕快樂、新年快樂，期待明年再見！

The K3 students have participated very well in our daily online lessons. They have been performing Show and Tell in front of the camera and sharing stories with their classmates. They showed great confidence when presenting while the others listened carefully and made an effort to ask interesting questions.

2020年的最後一個月裏，高班的孩子們依舊每天按時參與中英文的網絡課堂。在每一天的中文網絡課堂上都會有一名孩子向全班同學分享自己的故事，每一個分享故事的孩子在言語表達上都非常自信，其他同學也聽得非常認真，還會積極地提出問題，希望高班的孩子們繼續保持這樣自信積極的學習態度。

The K3 students have now completed their topic-based assessment for Amazing Anatomy and moved on to the theme Winter Wonderland. They were able to differentiate the characteristics of the four seasons by looking at the pictures, and recognised the words four seasons, spring/summer/autumn/winter, cold, sweater and gloves etc.

在十二月的第一個星期，高班的孩子們不僅完成了「神奇的人體」這一個主題的評估，還開始了新主題「冬之樂園」的學習。通過觀察一年四季的圖片，孩子們能夠清楚地講述四個季節的特徵，並且能夠認讀「一年四季」、「春夏秋冬」、「寒冷」以及「毛衣」、「手套」等詞語。

The teachers performed a little drama, the students were taught all about Christmas and related vocabularies. We hope the students learnt through fun.

在這個主題裏黃老師和Mr.Elliot還通過一個場景小故事向小朋友們介紹了「聖誕節」、「聖誕樹」、「聖誕老人」，老師們希望透過這個小故事帶給孩子們一些歡笑和樂趣。
