假期即将画上句号，新学期的探究之旅即将启程。作为IB学习者，孩子们需要从假期的自由探索模式，平稳过渡到充满好奇与思考的学习状态。
收心不是”急刹车”，而是一次有意义的衔接。这份专为IB社区设计的收心清单，将帮助家庭以IB的方式，从容迎接新学期。无论您的孩子处于小学阶段还是幼儿园阶段，以下建议都将根据孩子的年龄特点，支持他们顺利过渡。
Refocusing is not about a “sudden brake”, but rather a meaningful transition. This refocusing checklist, designed specifically for our IB community, will help families embrace the new semester with an IB approach. Whether your child is in the PYP or EYP years, the following suggestions are tailored to their developmental stage, supporting a smooth and successful transition.
开学须知
School Return Time
• 3月9日8:00-8:30返校，请大家做好返校准备
• Return to school at 8:00 – 8:30 on March 9th. Please make necessary preparations.

01
调整生活节奏，重建学习秩序
Adjusting Daily Rhythms and Rebuilding Learning Routines
渐进式作息调整
Gradual Schedule Adjustment
• 每天提前15-30分钟起床/入睡，逐步同步到校时间表
• Go to bed and wake up 15-30 minutes earlier each day to gradually sync with the school schedule.
• 睡前1小时远离电子屏幕，改为亲子阅读或冥想放松
• Avoid electronic screens for one hour before bedtime; opt for parent-child reading or meditation to relax instead.
• 幼儿园特别提示：幼儿需要大约10-12小时睡眠，才能在白天保持活力和专注。固定的早、晚日常作息安排也有助于减轻对开学第一天的焦虑情绪。
• Special Note for Early Years: Young children need approximately 10-12 hours of sleep. A predictable morning and evening routine will also help ease anxiety about the first day back.
• IB特色：与孩子讨论”为什么规律作息对学习很重要”，培养自我管理的意识
• IB Connection: Discuss with your child “why regular routines are important for learning” to cultivate self-management skills.
激活身体能量
Activating Physical Energy
• 恢复每日运动习惯：慢跑、游泳、球类或瑜伽；幼儿可增加户外游戏时间
• Resume daily exercise habits: jogging, swimming, ball games, or yoga; for younger children, increase outdoor playtime.
• 增加户外探索时间，观察自然界的春季变化
• Increase time spent exploring outdoors, observing nature’s spring changes.
• IB连接：为即将开始的”共享地球”或”世界如何运作”等探究单元积累观察素材
• IB Connection: Encourage your child to make observations for upcoming units of inquiry like “Sharing the Planet” or “How the World Works.”
饮食回归均衡
Returning to a Balanced Diet
• 减少节日零食，增加蔬果和优质蛋白
• Reduce holiday snacks; increase intake of fruits, vegetables, and quality proteins.
• 规律三餐时间，让肠胃适应校园节奏
• Establish regular meal times to help children’s bodies readjust to the school rhythm.
• 幼儿园特别提示：制定均衡的饮食计划，包括水果、蔬菜和全谷物食品，并为上学准备营养丰富的零食。同时，鼓励您的孩子全天多喝水。以一顿健康的早餐开启新的一天，将为他们提供所需的能量，使他们能够在学校集中精力并享受乐趣。
• Special Note for Early Years: Plan balanced meals with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and pack nutritious snacks for school. Also, encourage your child to drink plenty of water throughout the day. Starting the day with a healthy breakfast will give them the energy they need to focus and have fun at school.
02
回顾与展望，培养反思能力
Reviewing and Looking Ahead, Cultivating Reflection
制作”假期探究成就单”
Create a “Holiday Inquiry Achievement List”
和孩子一起可视化假期收获（IB鼓励反思与展示）：
Visualize your child’s holiday gains together (IB encourages reflection and presentation):
• 📖阅读探索：列出读过的书，最喜欢的一本分享了什么观点？
• Reading Exploration: List the books read. What ideas from the favorite book were shared?
• 🌍文化体验：去过哪些地方？有什么新发现？
• Cultural Experiences: What places were visited? What new discoveries were made?
• 🎨技能习得：学会了什么新技能？（哪怕只是煮一碗面、整理房间）
• Skills Acquired: What new skills were learned? (Even just cooking a bowl of noodles or tidying a room)
• 🤝社会交往：与谁共度了有意义的时光？
• Social Interactions: Who did they spend meaningful time with?
• 幼儿园特别提示：顺利返园的关键是保持积极态度。与孩子分享您对他们返园、见到朋友和学习新事物的兴奋之情。积极的态度将为孩子自己对幼儿园的感受定下基调。如果他们显得紧张，请安抚他们，有这种感受是正常的，幼儿园是一个安全和有趣的地方。
• Special Note for Early Years: The key to a smooth back-to-school transition is to stay positive. Share your excitement with your child about returning to school, seeing friends, and learning new things. A positive attitude will help set the tone for their own feelings about school. And if they seem nervous, reassure them that it’s okay to feel that way and that school is a safe and fun place to be.
温和的知识预热
Gentle Knowledge Warm-up
• 翻阅上学期学习档案，回顾最自豪的作品
• Review learning portfolios from last semester; recall the projects they are most proud of.
• 浏览新学期探究主题
• Browse through the inquiry themes for the new semester.
• 幼儿园特别提示：如果孩子长时间脱离有组织的学习，您可以在家中花些时间，重新引入一些有趣、无压力的活动。可以进行简单的活动，如读一个最喜欢的故事、唱童谣、玩记忆游戏或用日常物品练习数数。这些活动将帮助孩子的大脑重新进入”幼儿园模式”，而不会感觉像任务。
• Special Note for Early Years: If your child has had a long break from structured learning, you might want to spend a little time at home reintroducing some fun, low-pressure activities. You can do simple activities like reading a favorite story, singing nursery rhymes, playing memory games, or practicing counting with everyday objects. These activities will help get your child’s brain back in “school mode” without feeling like it’s a chore.
准备学习空间
Prepare the Learning Space
• 整理书桌，创建”探究角落”：放置地球仪、放大镜、艺术用品等
• Tidy the desk; create an “Inquiry Corner” with items like a globe, magnifying glass, art supplies.
• 准备好学习工具
• Get learning tools ready.
03
关注情感过渡，践行IB特质
Focusing on Emotional Transition, Embodying IB Learner Profile Attributes
开展家庭对话
Engage in Family Conversations
• 倾听孩子对开学的期待与担忧，不做评判
• Listen to your child’s hopes and worries about the new school term without judgment.
• 分享您自己的开学记忆，建立情感连接
• Share your own memories of starting a new school year to build an emotional connection.
• 讨论：新学期想培养哪些IB特质？（探究者、思考者、交流者、关爱者…）
• Discuss: Which IB Learner Profile attributes do they want to develop this semester? (Inquirers, Thinkers, Communicators, Risk-takers…)
• 幼儿园特别提示：假期后返园可能带来复杂的情绪。有些孩子可能会出现分离焦虑，而另一些则可能对教室的变化或新面孔感到紧张。请保持耐心和理解。练习积极的肯定语句，如”你太勇敢了！”或”我们今天会有很多乐趣！”也可以给孩子一个特别的物品带到幼儿园——一个小玩具、图片或家庭照片，让他们在一天中感到安慰。
• Special Note for Early Years: Returning to school after a break can bring out a mix of emotions. Some children may experience separation anxiety, while others may feel nervous about changes in the classroom or seeing new faces. Be patient and understanding. Practice positive affirmations like “You are so brave!” or “We’ll have lots of fun today!” It’s also helpful to give them a special item to take to school—a small toy, picture, or family photo that gives them comfort during the day.
重温社交技能
Revisiting Social Skills
• 假期可能意味着常规社交活动的暂停，所以现在是重温基本社交技能的好时机，如轮流、分享和对他人友善。在开学前安排与朋友玩耍，或让孩子参与培养这些技能的团体活动。谈论如何友善和尊重地对待朋友，将帮助孩子在返园时更有社交自信。
• The holiday break may have meant a break from regular social activities, so now is a good time to revisit basic social skills like taking turns, sharing, and being kind to others. Encourage playdates with friends before school starts or involve your child in group activities that foster these skills. Talking about how we treat our friends with kindness and respect will help your child feel more confident socially when they return to school.
鼓励独立性
Encouraging Independence
• 小学阶段：让孩子参与准备学习用品、制定学习计划
• Primary Years: Involve your child in preparing school supplies and planning their learning schedule.
•幼儿园阶段：幼儿期正是培养独立性的关键阶段，鼓励孩子练习在幼儿园需要独立完成的小事，例如：自己穿外套和鞋子、自己拉上书包拉链、独立使用卫生间、自己收拾整理。这些简单的任务可以帮助孩子走进教室时感到更有能力和自信。
• Early Years:The Early Years are all about building independence, so encourage your child to practice little things they will need to do on their own at school, such as:Putting on their coat and shoes by themselves. Zipping up their backpack. Using the restroom independently. Cleaning up after themselves. These simple tasks can help your child feel more capable and confident when they walk into the classroom.
设定”成长型目标”
Set “Growth-Oriented Goals”
• 不是”考多少分”，而是”想深入理解哪个概念”、”想尝试什么新挑战”
• Instead of “What score do you want to get?”, ask “Which concept do you want to understand more deeply?” or “What new challenge do you want to try?”
• 将目标可视化，制作成海报贴在房间
• Make goals visible; create a poster together and display it in their room.
允许缓冲期
Allow for a Buffer Period
• 开学第一周，孩子可能需要时间重新适应社交和学术节奏
• During the first week back, children may need time to readjust to the social and academic pace.
• 如出现焦虑，使用IB的”自我表达”方式：画画、写日记、角色扮演
• If anxiety appears, encourage IB-aligned “self-expression” methods: drawing, journaling, role-playing.
• 幼儿园特别提示：随着开学日临近，花些时间和孩子聊聊即将到来的幼儿园生活。有些孩子可能兴奋地期待返园，而另一些则可能感到紧张或焦虑。请向他们保证，幼儿园是一个有趣的地方，他们可以见到朋友、学习新事物、参与许多精彩活动。如果孩子对幼儿园的任何方面感到担心，请平静而积极地和他们沟通。例如，向他们解释一天会如何度过——到园、挂外套、坐下来进行圆圈活动等。
• Special Note for Early Years: As the first day of school approaches, take some time to talk with your child about what to expect. While some children may be excited to return, others may feel nervous or anxious. Reassure them that school is a fun place where they will see their friends, learn new things, and have lots of exciting activities. If they’re worried about any part of school, talk through their concerns calmly and positively. For example, explain what the day will look like—arriving at school, hanging up their coat, sitting down for circle time, etc.
04
实用准备清单
Practical Preparation Checklist
返校物品准备
Items to Prepare for School
• 假期作业/探究项目成果
• Holiday homework/inquiry project
• 学习用品和水杯
• Stationery and water bottle
• 幼儿园特别提示：虽然是在幼儿园阶段，也请记得准备一些基本的入园物品，如书包、室内鞋、换洗衣物、牙刷、牙膏、水杯、个人水瓶和被褥。别忘记在所有物品上标注孩子的姓名。幼儿正在开始学习责任感，给物品贴标签是帮助他们建立自信和自理能力的好方法。
• Special Note for Early Years: Even though it’s the Early Years, please remember to gather a few essential school supplies, such as a backpack, indoor shoes, extra clothes , toothbrush, toothpaste, a plastic cup, their personal water bottle, and bedding. Don’t forget to label everything with your child’s name. Young children are just starting to learn about responsibility, and labeling their items is a great way to help them develop confidence and self-sufficiency.
收心“五不要”
Five “Don’ts” for Refocusing
根据教育心理学建议
• 不搞”急刹车”—— 作息调整需循序渐进，避免生理抵触
• 不搞”一刀切”—— 尊重孩子意愿，协商制定收心计划
• 不搞”批斗会”—— 不指责假期”浪费”，聚焦未来成长
• 不搞”填鸭术”—— 拒绝过度补习，保护内在学习动机
• 不搞”放风筝”—— 保持亲子连接，您的陪伴是最好的收心良药
Based on recommendations from educational psychology:
• Don’t slam on the “sudden brakes” — Adjust routines gradually to avoid physical resistance.
• Don’t take a “one-size-fits-all” approach — Respect your child’s wishes and discuss the refocusing plan together.
• Don’t hold a “criticism session” — Avoid blaming them for “wasting” the holiday; focus on future growth instead.
• Don’t resort to “force-feeding” — Resist excessive tutoring; protect their intrinsic motivation to learn.
• Don’t “fly the kite” and let go completely — Maintain your connection; your companionship is the best remedy for a smooth transition.
新学期，新探究，新成长
A New Semester, A New Inquiry, A New Phase of Growth
在IB的教育旅程中，每一次开学都是一次新的探究循环的开始。无论您的孩子处于哪个年龄段，让我们帮助他们不是”被迫收心”，而是主动蓄力，带着好奇心和自信心，迎接属于他们的学习冒险。
In the IB educational journey, every new semester marks the beginning of a new inquiry cycle. Regardless of your child’s age, let’s help them not to be “forced to refocus,” but to proactively recharge, meeting their learning adventures with curiosity and self-confidence.
愿每一位IB学习者都能在新学期中：
保持好奇，勇于探究，成为更好的自己。
May every IB learner in the new semester:
Remain curious, dare to inquire, and become the best version of themselves.
