在这九月的长风中,天高云淡,万里无垠,学习正当时。秋风拂过,带来了大自然的低语,仿佛在召唤着每一个好奇的孩子去探索那无尽的奥秘。阳光洒在书页上,映照出知识的光辉;微风吹动实验台上的器具,仿佛在为科学的发现奏响序曲。
在这诗情画意的季节里,学生们的探究之旅如同一场充满惊喜的冒险。无论是仰望星空追寻宇宙的神秘轨迹,还是用画笔描绘出服饰的美丽与独特,或是穿越时空的“文明”之旅,每一步都充满了无穷的兴趣和无限的可能。

2024-2025 第一期(小学部)
一年级的学生们展开了一次对生活习惯的探究之旅。
学生分组搜集习惯的图片,辨析好坏习惯,如荤素均衡与快餐依赖之辨,深刻体会好习惯与坏习惯对生活质量的不同影响。
学生们探究了眼保健操的好处,如预防近视和缓解眼疲劳,并在老师的指导下,通过实际操作,体验到了眼保健操的重要性和益处。
整个探究过程充满了乐趣,学生们在活动中积极参与,提出问题,分享见解,逐步理解了日常习惯对生活的深远影响。通过这一系列的探究活动,一年级小朋友们不仅在知识上有所收获,更在行为习惯上得到了良好的培养。
我们如何表达自己——服饰
How we express ourselves
二年级的孩子们踏上了一段奇妙的服饰探索之旅。老师们带领孩子们认识了各种各样的服饰,从古代的传统服饰到现代的时尚装扮,每一种服饰都展现了不同的文化背景和历史故事。孩子们开始有所思考。
在深入探究传统服饰时,孩子们被带回了历史的长河中。他们选择了自己最喜欢的朝代服饰,运用画笔描绘出这些服饰的美丽与独特。每一幅画作都充满了孩子们的创造力和想象力,色彩斑斓,细节丰富。通过这些画作,孩子们不仅展示了他们对传统服饰的理解,也表达了他们对历史文化的敬意。
当我们学习到民族服饰的时候,我们把民族服饰“搬到”了课堂里,孩子们以小组为单位,一同触摸、感受和讨论民族服饰的特点,并亲自穿上不同的民族服饰,去感受不一样的文化。
我们如何表达自己——故事
How we express ourselves
在这个信息爆炸的时代,故事依然是我们传递思想、情感和文化的最重要方式之一。无论是古老的神话传说,还是现代的影视作品,故事都在以其独特的魅力吸引着我们。人们通过故事来表达思想、情感和文化。
在探究故事的过程中,我们不禁会产生许多疑问:为什么要写故事?故事为什么有那么多版本?故事对我们有什么影响?这些问题引导我们深入思考故事的本质和其背后的文化背景。
在日常生活中,我们接触到的信息有很多,但并不是所有的信息都是故事。故事通常具有情节、人物和主题,而简单的事实陈述或数据报告则不具备这些要素。孩子们以此来判断自己学习过的课文是不是故事。
暑假刚刚结束的巴黎奥运会,孩子们被运动员的奥运精神所打动,带着这样的热情,我们开启了第一个主题为“我们是谁--重要人物”的探究。
孩子们被分成若干小组,每个小组选择一个领域的重要人物进行深入探究。通过查阅资料、讨论和交流,学生们了解了这些人物的生平事迹、成就以及他们对社会的影响。每个小组都展示了他们的探究成果,通过海报、多媒体展示等形式,将他们的发现分享给全班同学。
在探究过程中,学生们不仅学会了如何有效地收集和整理信息,还培养了团队合作和沟通能力。他们通过对重要人物的研究,理解了这些人物如何通过自己的努力和智慧,影响了他们所在的领域,甚至改变了世界。
孩子们了解了不同领域的重要人物,他们也非常想要知道自己的爸爸妈妈心中的重要人物是谁?借着周末时间,孩子们进行一次主题为“除了亲人以外,你心中的重要人物是谁?为什么?”的采访,通过采访爸爸妈妈,让孩子们了解了更多重要人物,丰富了他们的探究。
我们身处什么时空——文明
Where we are in place and time
学生们踏上了一段穿越时空的“文明”之旅。这不仅是一场知识的盛宴,更是一段心灵的成长之旅。
这段探索文明的旅程,是他们成长道路上的一颗璀璨明珠。每一个问题的提出,每一次实验的动手,每一场讨论的展开,都在他们心中埋下了智慧的种子,在未来指引他们开启更深入的探究和学习。
世界如何运作——宇宙
How the world works
学生们首先进行了前期评估,以了解他们对宇宙空间的初步认识。通过评估,学生们提出了许多有趣的问题,例如:“宇宙是如何形成的?”、“太空中的星体有哪些?”以及“太阳系的行星是如何运作的?”
学生们深入了解宇宙中的各种天体,包括恒星、行星、卫星、小行星和彗星等。在自主探究太阳系的八大行星时,学生们选择想要探究的星体通过三个事实的思维方式进行了详细的探究。首先,他们了解了行星的基本特征,例如质量、体积和轨道。其次,他们探讨了每个行星的独特之处,例如木星是太阳系中最大的行星,土星以其壮观的光环闻名,而火星则因其可能存在生命的迹象而备受关注。
通过这一系列的探究,学生们不仅加深了对星体的理解,更是对宇宙无限奥秘的敬畏和探索精神的激发。什么是万有引力?真空下的重力会变吗?明明有重力的存在,为什么人造卫星不会掉下砸到我们?带着问题学生们进行了实验。
六年级的同学阅读成长主题的故事、小说、传记等,探究主人公在成长过程中的经历与变化。阅读过程中,同学们探究人物的发展、情节的转折和主题的深意。他们用阅读分享视频、精美阅读卡、即时批注、问题翻翻卡等不同的形式,将作品中以及学生自己理解的成长中的挑战与收获可视化地表现出来,以激励更多读者在阅读中感受到成长的力量。
测量是人们生产和生活中产生的实际需要,也是人们对客观事物进行量化把握的重要手段和方法,对长度单位的量化把握离不开长度单位。二年级的学生通过学习长度单位厘米和米,在生活中,在教室里寻找物体,感受1厘米和1米的长度,建立表象。学生经历亲身体验测量的过程,培养学生的测量能力,提升学生的“量感”。
It has been a fantastic start to the school year in our Grade 1 English classes!
We've been focusing on phonics, CVC words, and reading short stories to improve decoding skills. Students are practicing communication skills by expressing their understanding of letters and sounds.
