这一周的校园生活真是精彩纷呈！从数学探究到情绪认知，从中文漫游到绿茵驰骋，每个班级都绽放着独特的学习光芒。让我们一起来回顾这些充满发现的瞬间吧！
This week on campus has been so vibrant! From mathematical inquiries to emotional discovery, from Chinese language adventures to soccer field triumphs – every class has sparkled with unique moments of learning. Let’s take a look back at these days full of wonder!
Pre-Nursery（Bunny Class）
Math Exploration: Discovering Shapes(Math)
孩子们通过歌曲、观察和动手操作探索了形状的奥秘。他们唱着《这是什么形状？》的歌曲辨认图形，并用积木拼搭出对应的形状。
Students explored shapes through song, observation, and hands-on play. Singing “What Shape Is It?”, they identified shapes in pictures and then recreated them using blocks.
这个活动有效培养了观察力、创造力和空间思维，让抽象数学概念转化为可触摸的体验。看着孩子们积极投入地探索、搭建、在游戏中学习——这正是探究式数学教学的生动诠释。
This activity encouraged observation, creativity, and spatial reasoning, allowing students to connect abstract concepts to tangible experiences. It was wonderful to see them actively exploring, building, and learning through play—a perfect example of inquiry-based math in action.
Nursery（Butterfly Class）
Exploring Feelings Through Song(UOI)
Butterfly班的孩子们通过《幸福拍手歌》开启了情绪认知与自我表达的探索。演唱结束后，孩子们观察不同情境图片，并热烈讨论每种场景可能引发的情绪感受。
Butterfly Class explored emotions and self-expression through the song “If You’re Happy and You Know It.”After singing, students examined pictures of different scenarios and discussed how each situation might make them feel.
这项活动有效培养了反思能力、同理心与情绪感知力，帮助孩子们将内心感受与日常生活联系起来。看着他们自信地分享、专注地倾听，让社会情感学习在欢乐氛围中真实绽放，真是令人动容。
This activity encouraged reflection, empathy, and emotional awareness, helping students connect their feelings to everyday experiences. It was wonderful to see them confidently sharing and listening, bringing social-emotional learning to life in a joyful way.
Pre-K（Panda Class）
Exploring “One More, One Less” （Math）
本周，我们的小学习者通过好玩的橡皮泥活动，在探索”增加一个”与”减少一个”的概念中深化了数感。孩子们亲手捏制并数算橡皮泥块，以充满趣味的触觉感知方式与数字互动，这正是IB探究式教学理念的生动体现。
This week , our young learners deepened their number sense by exploring the concepts of one more and one less through an engaging Play-Doh activity. Using their hands to shape and count Play-Doh pieces, students interacted with numbers in a fun, tactile way that supported IB’s inquiry-based approach.
通过游戏，他们发现了数量增减变化的规律，为未来的数学思维奠定了坚实基础。看到孩子们自信地尝试、主动提问并建立有意义的认知联结，真是令人欣喜。
Through play, they discovered how numbers change when we add or take away one, building a strong foundation for future mathematical thinking. It was wonderful to see the children confidently experimenting, asking questions, and making meaningful connections.
小游戏蕴含大智慧！
A simple game—full of rich learning!
Kindergarten(Koala Class)
Creating their own story “The Scary Halloween” （Literacy）
Koala班的孩子们将UOI学习融入了一场充满创意的实践。基于之前构思的故事标题、角色与场景，每位孩子都独立创作出独特语句，最终共同完成了短篇故事《惊魂万圣节》。
The students of Koala Class applied their UOI learning in a meaningful and creative way. Building on the titles, characters, and settings they developed yesterday, each child crafted original sentences and completed their own short story—“The Scary Halloween.”
通过这项活动，孩子们学会了编织故事逻辑，挥洒创意灵感，并在叙事过程中绽放出愈发从容的自信。这个精彩案例完美展现了IB课堂中探究精神与奇思妙想如何相映成趣。
Through this activity, students connected ideas, expressed their creativity, and demonstrated their growing confidence as storytellers. It was a wonderful example of how inquiry and imagination come together in an IB classroom.
First Grade（Tiger Class）
When the “Green-Light Monster” Meets the Health Guards (UOI)
本周，学校大厅里惊现荧光绿迷你书架，老虎班的终期项目——原创健康主题漫画正式亮相！故事中，一道神秘”绿光”掳走了习惯不良的孩子——不洗手、不刷牙、零食过量。小英雄凯亚揭开谜团，救出伙伴，向所有人证明：良好习惯才是真正的超能力！
This week, fluorescent-green mini-bookshelves appeared in the school lobby, unveiling the Tigers’ final project: an original comic promoting healthy habits.In the story, a mysterious “green light” captures kids with poor habits—no handwashing, no toothbrushing, too many snacks. Hero Kaia uncovers the pattern, rescues her friends, and shows everyone that good habits are the real superpower.
为传播这一理念，老虎班将漫画送至每个班级由老师朗读，巨幅典藏版捐赠图书馆，更多副本则放在大厅的”自由取阅架”供随手取阅。
To spread the message, the Tigers delivered comics to every classroom, teachers read them aloud, a jumbo edition was donated to the library, and extra copies were placed on the lobby’s “Free to Take” shelf.
Second Grade（Lion Class）
A Scenic and Cultural Journey Across China（Chinese）
在本单元的中文课程中，我们跟随课文走进了庐山、黄山、鹳雀楼、日月潭与葡萄沟的风景画卷。狮班学子们在地图上精准定位这些著名景点，不仅深化了对地理空间的认知，更切身感受到中国幅员辽阔、物产丰饶的壮美景象。
In this Chinese unit, we followed the texts into the scenic landscapes of Mount Lu, Mount Huang, the Stork Tower, Sun Moon Lake, and Grape Valley. The Lions class located these famous sites accurately on the map, deepening not only their geographical understanding but also their appreciation of China’s vast territory and abundant resources.
同学们还通过纪录片沉浸式体验了台湾与新疆的地域文化，并完成了精心设计的研学工作单。现在，让我们一同欣赏他们的学习成果吧！
Additionally, the students immersed themselves in the local cultures of Taiwan and Xinjiang through documentaries and completed thoughtfully designed research worksheets. Now, let’s take a look at their learning achievements!
Third and Fourth & Sixth Grade（Bear & Dragen Class）
PSPE
本周的PSPE课堂格外精彩，孩子们独享了整个足球场。首先进行的是必不可少的热身伸展，学生们现在已非常专业，能自主选择针对不同身体部位的拉伸动作。随后我们完成了全程跑圈，孩子们在起跑前完美展现了标准的预备姿势。接着练习了接传球直接射门（首次触球即攻门），最后以五人制形式展开了全场对抗赛。
Our PSPE class was extra exciting this week. We had the entire football field to ourselves. First, students warmed up with vital stretches that ensure we do not get injured. Students are now very knowledgeable and chose the exercises for each part of our body. We then did a lap around the full track, demonstrating knowledge of the correct position of our body prior to starting to sprint.Then we practiced taking shots on goal with a pass laid up for us (striking a moving ball first time). Finally we played a full pitch match in teams of 5.
比赛中要求队员必须先完成传球配合方可射门。我们未来的体育之星们在绿茵场上尽情挥洒汗水，享受运动的快乐！
Students had to pass the ball to an opponent before scoring. Our budding sports stars had a wonderful time!
Fourth Grade（Eagle Class）
Splitting the Bill at a Restaurant（Math）
本周的数学探究活动是一次寓教于乐的角色扮演。Mr.Ian化身餐厅服务员记录Eagle班学生的点单，当孩子们完成”用餐”后，我们共同探讨了一个实际数学问题：五人平分账单与各自单独付款相比，哪种方式更划算？
Our math inquiry this week offered a fun yet purposeful role-play experience. Mr. Ian acted as a restaurant waiter taking the Eagles’ orders, and once students had “eaten,” we explored an authentic mathematical question: Is it cheaper or more expensive to split a bill evenly among five people compared to paying individually?
学生们首先计算出所有餐点的总费用，将其平均分成五份，再将均摊金额与个人实际消费进行对比。通过这个过程，他们不仅判断出哪种支付方式对自己更有利，还清晰阐述了其中的逻辑依据。
Students first calculated the total cost of all meals, divided it equally among five, and then compared that amount with their own individual orders. Through this process, they evaluated which method was more financially beneficial for them and justified their reasoning.
这次探究不仅强化了学生的数学推理能力，更将他们未来必然面对的真实生活场景融入学习。如今孩子们已能带着更深的理解与自信，从容应对这类现实情境。
This inquiry not only strengthened their mathematical reasoning but also connected directly to a real-world context they will encounter in the future. Now, students are better equipped to approach similar situations with confidence and understanding.
本周见证了孩子们在探究中成长，在游戏中思考，这正是教育最动人的模样。期待下周更多精彩故事!
Witnessing the children grow through inquiry and learn through play has been truly inspiring. Here’s to more wonderful stories next week! Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!
