加入我们，让我们揭开充满激情的想象力的故事，在《发挥想象》主题中，画笔的每一次挥洒、彩纸的每一次裁剪，不仅是艺术才能的提升，更是全面成长的每一步。

The young minds of Y1A were captivated by a charming story depicting the journey of a seed evolving into a vibrant flower. The immersive storytelling session not only introduced the children to the intricacies of a plant's life cycle but also laid the foundation for a holistic learning experience. 

Y1A班的孩子们被一个可爱的故事吸引住了，故事描述了一粒种子演变成一朵鲜花的过程。在身临其境的故事环节，孩子们不仅了解了植物生命周期的复杂性，还为全面的学习与体验奠定了基础。

To reinforce this newfound knowledge, a lively garden dance engaged the students in physical movement, aligning with the stages of a flower's growth. Jumping to the rhythm added a kinesthetic element, making the learning process not just educational but also enjoyable. Following the dance, a quick vocabulary review session emphasized key words associated with flowers, such as "stem, root, seed, soil and flower", enhancing the children's language development. The day reached its artistic zenith as each child painted their own flowers using their thumbs for petals, unleashing a spectrum of colours and fostering creativity.

为了巩固这些新发现，一场生动的花园舞蹈开始了，孩子们根据花朵的生长阶段进行肢体运动。伴随节奏舞蹈，增加了动觉元素，使学习过程不仅具有教育意义，而且寓教于乐。舞蹈结束后，快速词汇复习环节强调了与花有关的关键词汇，如“茎、根、种子、土壤和花朵”，促进了的语言发展。当天的活动可谓是达到了艺术的效果，每个孩子都用自己的拇指画花瓣，尽情挥洒色彩，培养创造力。

This engaging experience seamlessly aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) learning outcomes. The combination of storytelling, movement, vocabulary enrichment, and artistic expression addresses diverse aspects of child development, promoting communication, physical skills, and creativity in a cohesive manner.

这种引人入胜的体验与早期教育基础阶段EYFS和国际早期教育课程IEYC的学习成果完美结合。讲故事、做动作、丰富词汇和艺术表达相结合，这些涉及到儿童发展的各个方面都以协调一致的方式促进了沟通、身体技能和创造力。

K1A, their adventure began with a captivating story that ignited the children’s imaginations, prompting them to share their ideas about what they would like to build using blocks in the classroom.

An engaging lesson of learning and creativity commenced in K1C. The children’s exploration into the world of Spiraling Snails, inspired by modern art from Jo Saxon, kicked off the class with a burst of enthusiasm. Each child had the opportunity to draw a snail on A4 paper, painting it with a rich dark blue hue. Following the footsteps of the renowned artist Matisse, the children then cut colored papers into various shapes and colors, mirroring the vibrant and abstract imagery characteristic of his work.

K1C班开始了一堂充满学习和创造力的课。受Jo Saxon的现代艺术启发，孩子们对螺旋蜗牛世界的探索以饱满的热情拉开了课堂的序幕。每个孩子都有机会在A4纸上画一只蜗牛，并为它涂上浓郁的深蓝色。随后，孩子们跟随著名艺术家马蒂斯的脚步，将彩纸剪成各种形状和颜色，来反映其作品中充满活力的抽象意象。

The highlight of the activity was the hands-on experience of creating snail shells by tracing the spiral pattern with their fingers. This not only allowed the children to express their creativity by adding different shapes and colors to the snail shells but also contributed to the development of their motor skills. The collaborative nature of the exercise encouraged teamwork and participation in group activities, fostering a sense of camaraderie within the K1C class. We are immensely proud of the creativity and effort displayed by each child during this Spiraling Snails art session.

The children were enthralled by Elmer's unique composition of colored squares, a departure from the conventional grey of his fellow elephants. The tale's moral, emphasizing the acceptance of individuality, resonated deeply with the young minds. To further reinforce this message, the class undertook a collaborative project, creating a giant Elmer using scrap cloth cut into squares. Each child contributed by affixing their square to the elephant, symbolizing the strength and beauty of unity in diversity. This multifaceted exploration not only enriched the children's understanding of shapes but also instilled valuable life lessons of acceptance and self-expression.

当他们深入了解大象埃尔默的故事时，发生了感人至深的转变。孩子们被埃尔默独特的彩色方格图案迷住了，这与大象同伴们传统的灰色截然不同。故事中强调接受个性的寓意深深地引起了孩子们的共鸣。为了进一步强化这一寓意，全班开展了一个合作活动，用剪成方块的布料制作了一个巨大的埃尔默。每位孩子都把自己的正方形贴在大象身上，象征着多样性中团结的力量和美。这种多方面的探索不仅丰富了孩子们对形状的理解，还引入了接纳和自我表达的宝贵人生经验。

In the dynamic learning environment of K2B, the exploration of art through the lens of renowned artists like Paul Klee has ignited a rich tapestry of creativity and imagination. Focusing on Klee's masterful use of dots and lines, the children have not only absorbed the intricacies of artistic techniques but have been inspired to embark on their own creative journeys. This exposure to diverse artistic styles not only broadens their understanding of various forms of expression but also serves as a catalyst for imaginative thinking.
