EYFS幼儿园 | 小探究,看大世界
在厦门华锐莱普顿幼儿园的教学活动中,UOI(Unit of Inquiry)探究活动已经是核心组成部分,我们鼓励孩子在每一个探究单元中,围绕一个不同的超学科主题,通过提问、探究、行动和反思来更好地认识世界,结合多元文化培养孩子的国际化视野,为孩子的未来教育以及成为未来的世界公民做好准备。
In the teaching activities of Chiway Repton Kindergarten Xiamen, UOI (Unit of Inquiry) inquiry activities have become a core component. We encourage children to better understand the world through questioning, inquiry, action and reflection around a different transdisciplinary theme in each inquiry unit, and cultivate children's international vision in combination with multiculturalism, so as to prepare for their future education and becoming future world citizens.
让我们一起来看看在最后一个探究单元,孩子们都有哪些收获和成长吧!
Let's take a look at what the children have gained and grown in the last inquiry unit!
超学科主题:Sharing the Planet共享地球
UOI探究单元:All about animals关于动物的一切
中心思想:We share our environment with other living things. 我们与其他生物共享我们的环境。
在单元初期,为了激发Pre k年龄段孩子对自然世界的兴趣,老师们通过生动的动物图片和故事,引起孩子们对动物的好奇心,孩子们通过观察动物的外貌特征、行为和生存环境,激发探究欲望。
At the beginning of the unit, in order to stimulate the interest of Pre K children in the natural world, teachers used vivid animal pictures and stories to arouse children's curiosity about animals. Children observed the appearance, behavior and living environment of animals to stimulate their desire to explore.

在收集和分析资料的阶段,Pre K的孩子们通过绘本故事来认识不同的动物和他们的习性。他们通过活动“动物的声音”更好地加深了对动物的认识,并且还能够模仿动物的声音。他们还制作了各种小动物的手工作品,例如给用粘土制作老虎的花纹,给小鸟贴上羽毛,用粘土和毛根做小刺猬,用不同的形状拼出小鸡,加深了对动物的认识。
In the stage of finding out and sorting out, Pre K children learned about different animals and their habits through picture book stories. They deepened their understanding of animals through the activity "Animal Sounds" and were able to imitate the sounds of animals. They also made various handicrafts of small animals, such as making tiger patterns with clay, attaching feathers to birds, making small hedgehogs with clay and hair roots, and making chicks with different shapes, which deepened their understanding of animals.

在深入探究阶段,孩子们倾听了《蚂蚁和西瓜》和《小蝌蚪找妈妈》这样的绘本故事,通过故事情节展示了动物们的生活习性和变化,例如在《蚂蚁和西瓜》中,孩子们可以学习到蚂蚁的团队合作精神和解决问题的智慧。而在《小蝌蚪找妈妈》中,可以了解到小蝌蚪的生长过程经历了从蝌蚪到青蛙的蜕变,也学会了如何与周围的世界相处。孩子们还变身成为了小小农场主,利用橡胶手套模拟给奶牛挤牛奶,知道动物能够给我们提供一些食物和帮助。
In the going further stage, children listened to picture book stories such as "Ants and Watermelons" and "Tadpoles Looking for Their Mothers", which showed the living habits and changes of animals through the story plots. For example, in "Ants and Watermelons", children can learn the teamwork spirit and problem-solving wisdom of ants. In "The Tadpole Looking for its Mother", we can learn that the tadpole's growth process has undergone a metamorphosis from a tadpole to a frog, and also learned how to get along with the world around it. The children also transformed into little farmers, using rubber gloves to simulate milking cows, and learned that animals can provide us with some food and help.

超学科主题:Sharing the Planet共享地球
UOI探究单元:Living things生物
中心思想:Living things have different needs in order to grow and survive.生物为了生长和生存有不同的需求。
K1孩子们在听到“生物”这个词的时候,就通过语言表达自己对“生物”的理解,知道生物是有生命的东西,例如动物、植物、人类,它们需要吃饭,需要喝水,需要呼吸。老师还通过“生物我知道”的调查表对孩子们的前期经验进行一个评估,让孩子和家长一起通过绘画等方式记录孩子们对生物的理解,并让孩子通过语言进行展示。
When the K1 children heardthe word "organism", they expressed their understanding of"organism" through language, knowing that organisms are livingthings, such as animals, plants, and humans, and they need to eat, drink water,and breathe. The teacher also evaluated the children's previous experiencethrough the "I know biology" questionnaire, and asked the childrenand parents to record the children's understanding of biology through paintingand other methods, and let the children express it through language.

在深入探究阶段,老师还通过发霉的面包、触摸金粉和胡椒粉两个小实验,让孩子们发现细菌也是一种生物,他们也会随着时间不断地生长和变化,认识到好好洗手等良好的卫生习惯和食品安全的重要性。老师也和孩子们讨论了不同的生物居住的环境和条件,例如沙漠、海洋、森林、大草原和极地,通过小组合作的方式,使用粘土等材料制作了生物和他们的居住环境。
In the going further stage, the teacher also used two small experiments, moldy bread, touching gold powder and pepper powder, to let the children discover that bacteria is also part of biology, the mould will continue to grow and change over time, and the children also realized the importance of good hygiene habits such as washing hands well and food safety. The teacher also discussed with the children the living environment and conditions of different organisms, such as deserts, oceans, forests, prairies and polar regions, and made organisms and their living environments through group cooperation using materials such as clay.

在收集资料阶段,K2的孩子们做了很多神奇的科学小实验。他们初步认识物质的三种形态:气体、固体、液体,知道物质都是由原子构成的,知道不同物质形态的原子分部状态,并使用美工材料黏土展示。他们还认识了Oobleck非牛顿流体,孩子们两人一组合作,使用水和玉米淀粉制作非牛顿流体,认识到同一物体可以同时拥有固体和液体的不同形态。他们还通过瓶子吹气球的小实验,观察到白醋和小苏打混合在一起产生的气体能吹起气球,得出了固体(小苏打)和液体(白醋)的混合有可能产生气体的结论。
In the finding out stage, the children of K2 did a lot of magical science experiments. They had a preliminary understanding of the three forms of matter: gas, solid, and liquid. They knew that matter is made up of atoms, and they knew the atomic division states of different forms of matter, and used art materials such as clay to demonstrate. They also learned about Oobleck non-Newtonian fluids. The children worked in pairs to make non-Newtonian fluids using water and corn starch, and realized that the same object can have different forms of solid and liquid at the same time. They also conducted a small experiment of blowing up balloons with bottles, observing that the gas produced by the mixture of white vinegar and baking soda can blow up balloons, and concluded that the mixture of solid (baking soda) and liquid (white vinegar) may produce gas.
