Last week in our classroom, we delved into the timeless story of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears". The main lesson from this classic tale is to think about how our actions impact others and to show respect for other people's belongings. Our activities centered around sensory exploration, hands-on experiences, and improving oral language skills through storytelling. 

上周课堂上，我们深入探讨了“金发女孩与三只熊”的经典故事。这个经典故事让我们思考我们的行为如何影响他人，并如何尊重他人的物品。我们的活动主要围绕感官探索、动手实践和讲故事提高口头语言技能展开。

Some highlights from last week included setting up a Goldilocks and the Three Bears sensory table to boost our sensory and fine motor skills. To expand our vocabulary and enhance our English speaking abilities, we engaged in games like "Guess the word", where students revealed an image slowly and identified the character or object from the story. To fully immerse our young learners in the theme, we reenacted Goldilocks sampling the three bears' porridge by making and tasting three different porridges to determine our favorite. We even crafted the three bears using bread, peanut butter, bananas, and blueberries to create a yummy bear snack. Class one truly transformed a classic tale into a week filled with excitement and education.

上周的一些亮点包括设置了一个“金发女孩与三只熊”的感官桌，以增强我们的感官和精细动作。为了扩大孩子们的词汇量并提高英语口语能力，我们进行了“猜词游戏”之类的活动，学生们慢慢展示图片，并从故事中识别出角色或物品。为了孩子们完全沉浸在主题中，我们通过制作和品尝三种不同的粥来确定我们最喜欢的粥，重演了金发姑娘品尝三只熊的粥的情节。我们还使用面包、花生酱、香蕉和蓝莓制作了三只熊，创造了一款美味的熊形小吃。我们将经典的故事变成了一周充满兴奋和教育意义的活动。

Learning

During week 2 of Summer School, Class 2 were following the theme of under the sea. We incorporated the theme into our maths and literacy lessons, where we worked on letter and number formation, addition and subtraction, and our CVC reading and writing. The students enjoyed the crafts and art activities based around this theme, taking their newly found knowledge and being able to express it in picture or craft form.

迎来了暑期班的第二周，Class 2的学生们围绕“海底”这一探究单元主题，开展了一系列活动。我们跨学科学习，将这一主题融入到了数学和读写课程中，进行了字母和数字的书写练习、加法和减法运算，以及CVC（辅音-元音-辅音）单词结构的阅读和写作。学生们很喜欢这一主题的手工和美术活动，他们运用新学到的知识，并能够通过图片或手工艺的形式来表达。

In Class 3 we have explored the beauties of our oceans and how they are a part of our world that we should treasure. There are many different oceans, sea creatures and unique habitats. We have tried to create our own aquarium with different creatures in a wonderful calm ocean. Using creativity, imagination and different resources we made a shoe box recreation of our dream oceans. Through literacy we have emersed ourselves with phonics around the marine animals and stories about the oceans. These stories include elements of appreciation and care for the ocean environment. Whilst in maths we have incorporated different sea activities with games and addition. The oceans hold many magical and adventurous stories for us to learn from and appreciate.

在Class 3，我们深入探索了海洋的奥秘。海洋作为我们地球不可或缺的一部分，我们应当珍惜并爱护它。海洋的种类繁多，海洋生物和独特的栖息地也各不相同。我们尝试在一个美丽而宁静的海洋环境中，用不同的生物创造属于自己的水族馆。我们运用创造力、想象力和各种资源，制作了一个鞋盒大小的梦幻海洋模型。通过读写练习，我们深入学习了关于海洋动物和故事的发音，这些故事都充满了对海洋环境的爱护和关心。在数学课上，我们将各种海洋活动与游戏和加法运算相结合。海洋中蕴藏着许多神奇而冒险的故事，等待我们去学习和发现。

Our theme for the second week of Summer School has been,  ‘Dragons.’  Activities have included, dragon numbers, reading comprehension， drawing and painting dragons in art.  Learning poems,   ‘off by heart’ is a delightful way to develop English speaking skills and aquire new vocabulary. Last week we have learned an old English favourite, ‘Puff the Magic Dragon,’ accompanied by beating out the rhythm with untuned percussion and making a ‘Puff’ diorama. The children have also enjoyed plenty of physical activity in PE, dance and biking round Rectory. All the children and the adults have had a  lovely happy and creative week at Summer School.

在暑期班的第二周，我们的学习主题是“龙”。主题活动涵盖了数字龙、阅读理解、美术、艺术创作。其中，我们用愉快的学习方式——背诵诗歌来掌握英语口语技能和新词汇。这周，我们特别学习了一首古老而闻名的英文诗歌《神奇的神龙帕夫》。孩子们不仅用乐器敲出了诗歌的节奏，还亲手制作了一个“帕夫”手工模型。此外，我们还开展了一系列丰富多彩的体育活动，如体育锻炼、舞蹈和红专厂骑行等。在这些活动中，孩子们度过了一个愉快、幸福且富有创造性的一周。

It’s been fun learning and lots of games for class 5 last week at Summer School. We explored the theme ‘Board Games’ and got the chance to learn to play a variety of exciting games with each other. The students learned about instructional writing to help write the rules for their own racing board game which they created. They also designed their boards and made tokens before sharing and playing their games with their friends. It has been another wonderful week here at ISA Tianhe.

上周的暑期班，Class 5的学习和游戏都非常有趣。我们探讨了 "棋盘游戏 "这一主题，并有机会相互学习玩各种令人兴奋的游戏。学生们学习了指导性写作，以帮助编写他们自己制作的棋盘游戏的规则。他们还设计了自己的棋盘，制作了代币，然后与朋友们分享和玩他们的游戏。在爱莎天河，这又是美好的一周。

Last week, the vibrant and captivating world of the rainforest has truly come alive for our Class 6 students. In our latest Unit of Inquiry, these young explorers have dived head-first into the intricate, multilayered ecosystem of the rainforest. Through hands-on investigation and deep research, they've discovered the incredible diversity of life that calls this lush environment home - from the towering canopy above to the rich, loamy soil below. Along the way, they've gained a profound appreciation for the vital role the rainforest plays in our global ecosystem, and the urgent need to protect this precious natural wonder.

在Class 6，上周的课程活动围绕着生机盎然、引人入胜的雨林世界开展。在新的探究单元中，“小小探险家们”深入探索了这个复杂而多层次的雨林生态系统。通过亲身调查和深入研究，他们发现了这片繁茂环境中令人难以置信的生命多样性——从高耸的树冠到下方肥沃的土壤。过程中，他们深刻地认识到了雨林在全球生态系统中发挥的关键作用，以及保护这一珍贵自然奇观的重要性。

Over in English class, our budding young wordsmiths have been flexing their creative muscles, exploring the beauty and artistry of acrostic poetry. Inspired by the enchanting sights, sounds, and inhabitants of the rainforest, they've crafted their own imaginative verses that beautifully reflect their deep personal connection to this incredible place. Each acrostic poem is a unique and vivid expression of the students' reverence for the diverse flora and fauna found throughout the rainforest.

在英语课上，小作家们一直在锻炼他们的写作创造力，探索首字母缩略诗的美感和艺术性。受到雨林迷人景象、声音、居民的启发，他们利用想象力创作了自己的诗歌。这些诗歌反映了他们与大地和自我之间的深厚联系。每首首字母缩略诗都是学生对雨林中发现的各种动植物独特而生动的表达。

Meanwhile, in Maths, the focus has been on mastering the fundamental concepts of multiplication and division. Through a series of engaging, hands-on activities utilizing a variety of interactive manipulatives, the students have honed their skills in areas like grouping, sharing, and truly understanding the essence of these essential mathematical operations. By applying these skills within the context of the rainforest ecosystem, the lessons have taken on a lively, relevant, and memorable quality.

同时，在数学课上，他们深入了解了乘法和除法的基本概念。通过一系列引人入胜的实践活动，借助各种材料，学生们在分组讨论、分享交流以及真正理解这些基本数学运算的本质等方面磨练了技能。通过在雨林生态系统的背景下应用这些技能，数学课程变得生动、有趣且令人难忘。

To wrap up this exciting week of exploration and learning, we came together as a vibrant school community for a special assembly. The students proudly took the stage to share their acrostic poems, each one offering a unique and captivating perspective on the wonders of the rainforest. But the true highlight was when they passionately spoke about the critical importance of preserving this precious ecosystem, captivating the audience with a wealth of fascinating facts and insights. They even unveiled their own interactive dioramas, vividly bringing the rainforest to life right before our eyes. And of course, we couldn't resist ending the assembly on a high note, with an engaging, interactive rainforest quiz that got everyone involved and showcased just how much the students have learned.

为了总结这一周激动人心的探索和学习，全体社区成员齐聚一堂，举行了一次特别的集会。学生们自豪地走上舞台，分享他们的首字母缩略诗，每一首都以独特的视角展现了雨林的奇观。他们热情地讲述了保护生态系统的重要性，用丰富的有趣事实和见解吸引了观众的注意力。他们还展示了自制的互动模型，生动地在我们眼前展现了雨林的生机。最后，我们以一次引人入胜的、互动式的雨林知识问答来结束这次机会，让每位成员都参与进来，共同见证了学生们的学习成果。

Overall, this has been an immersive and enriching experience for our Class 6 students, as they've dove deep into the marvels of the rainforest across multiple subject areas. Their unbridled creativity, insatiable curiosity, and heartfelt commitment to environmental stewardship have been truly inspiring to witness. Last week has undoubtedly left a lasting impression, fueling their passion for exploration and their desire to make a positive impact on the world around them.

总的来说，这对Class 6的学生来说是一次沉浸式且丰富的体验，他们跨越多个学科领域深入探索了雨林的奇迹。他们展现出的无限创造力、无尽的好奇心以及对环境保护的真诚承诺都令人深受启发。这一周的学习给他们留下了深刻的印象，不仅激发了他们对探索的热情，也增强了他们为周围环境产生积极影响的愿望。
