Entry Point
切入点
To begin the unit and capture the children’s interest and curiosity, the children were equpped with a variety of bug hunting equipment including magnifying glasses, tweezers, bug cathers and bug cages. The children went outside to explore the school grounds and local park for all sorts of different bugs. The children thought about where different bugs might live and suggested we look in the tall grass, dig in the mud, search in the bushes and in the vegetable patch. During this exploration, the children discovered so many different bugs including caterpillars, spiders, ladybugs, butterflies, bumblebees, centipedes and ants. The children placed the bugs in little tubs and took them home to share with their parents.
为了开始本单元的学习并吸引孩子们的兴趣和好奇心,孩子们配备了各种捕虫设备,包括放大镜、镊子、捕虫笼和捕虫笼。孩子们走出校门,在校园和当地公园里寻找各种不同的虫子。孩子们思考了不同虫子可能生活的地方,并建议我们在高高的草丛中寻找、在泥土中挖掘、在灌木丛中寻找、在菜地里寻找。在探索过程中,孩子们发现了许多不同的虫子,包括毛毛虫、蜘蛛、瓢虫、蝴蝶、大黄蜂、蜈蚣和蚂蚁。孩子们把这些小虫子放在小盆里,带回家与父母分享。
Communication and Language
交流与语言
Over the course of this unit, the children have been filled with new language about bugs and practised their English on a daily basis. They first reviwed the bug names they have previously learnt in English, including ladybug, spider, caterpillar, butterfly, bumblee, centipede, ant as well as learn some more advanced bug names such as millipede, preying mantis, stick insect and grasshopper.
As they explored bugs more and more, they were able to increase their vocabulary and the use of full sentences. The children are able to describe the appearance of different bugs using a variety of body parts.
"The caterpillar has a long body."
"The bumbleebee has four wings."
"The centipede has so many legs."
They are also able to talk about what the bugs can do such as:
"A grasshopper can jump high."
"A bumblebee can fly so fast."
"A worm wiggles in the ground."
Over the course of the unit, the children learnt about habitats and where the different bugs like to live and where they are likely to be found.
"Spiders live in a spiders web."
"Ladybugs live in the grass."
"Bumblebees live in the beehive."
在本单元的学习过程中,孩子们每天都在学习有关虫子的新语言,并练习英语。他们首先重温了以前学过的英文虫子名称,包括瓢虫、蜘蛛、毛毛虫、蝴蝶、大黄蜂、蜈蚣、蚂蚁,还学习了一些更高级的虫子名称,如千足虫、捕食螳螂、粘虫和蚱蜢。
随着他们对虫子的探索越来越多,他们的词汇量和完整句子的使用也在不断增加。孩子们能够使用各种身体部位来描述不同虫子的外形。
“毛毛虫的身体很长。”
“大黄蜂有四只翅膀。”
“蜈蚣有很多条腿。”
他们还能谈论虫子的本领,例如:
“蚱蜢能跳得很高。”
“大黄蜂飞得很快。”
“蚯蚓在地上蠕动。”
在本单元的学习过程中,孩子们了解了不同虫子的栖息地、喜欢生活的地方以及在哪里可以找到它们。
“蜘蛛生活在蜘蛛网里。”
“瓢虫生活在草丛中。”
“大黄蜂住在蜂巢里。”
Personal, Social and Emotional Development
个人、社会和情感发展
The process of building human pyramids in the class served as a powerful metaphor for teamwork and cooperation, mirroring the collaborative efforts observed in ants. As the children took turns kneeling on the floor, they not only physically supported each other but also learned to trust and rely on their peers. Each child's role in the pyramid was equally essential, emphasizing the importance of every individual's contribution to the collective effort. Despite the challenges of balancing and supporting the weight of their peers, the children persevered, demonstrating determination and resilience. Through this activity, they developed not only physical coordination but also interpersonal skills such as communication, leadership, and empathy. Moreover, the sense of accomplishment and pride that accompanied successfully forming a pyramid fostered a positive sense of self-esteem and belonging among the children, strengthening their social bonds and sense of community within the class. Overall, the experience of building human pyramids was not just a physical activity but a transformative lesson in collaboration, teamwork, and mutual support, laying the groundwork for future personal and social growth.
在班级中建造人类金字塔的过程是团队精神与合作的有力隐喻,与在蚂蚁身上观察到的协作努力如出一辙。当孩子们轮流跪在地上时,他们不仅在身体上相互支持,还学会了信任和依靠同伴。每个孩子在金字塔中的角色都同样重要,这强调了每个人对集体努力所做贡献的重要性。尽管平衡和支撑同伴的重量是一项挑战,但孩子们坚持了下来,展现出了决心和韧性。通过这项活动,他们不仅锻炼了身体协调能力,还培养了人际交往能力,如沟通、领导力和同理心。此外,成功组建金字塔所带来的成就感和自豪感培养了孩子们积极的自尊心和归属感,增强了他们的社会纽带和班级集体感。总之,搭建人体金字塔的经历不仅是一项体育活动,更是一堂关于协作、团队精神和相互支持的变革性课程,为今后的个人和社会成长奠定了基础。
Expressive Arts and Design
表现性艺术和设计
Over the course of this unit, the children were given many opportunites to show off their imagination and expressive skills as they took part in arts and crafts to showcase their newfound knowledge of bugs. The children used playdough and a paper plate to recreate the life cycle of a caterpillar. They rolled up white play dough to be the eggs, bits of green to be the caterpillars, made sticks for the chrysalis to hang on and finally the children designed the most beautiful butterflies. The children showed off their style as they chose the colours, patterns and shapes of their very own butterflies. Next, the children created very beautiful lady bugs by painting one paper plate black and one red. The red plate was later cut in half. Each piece was cut using a hole punch and all connected together using split pins. This made a black body and red wings that could open and shut. They then added a small black semi-cirlce as the head, attached googley eyes and pipe cleaners for the antenna. Amazing ladybugs!
在本单元的学习过程中,孩子们有很多机会展示他们的想象力和表达能力,他们参与了艺术和手工制作,展示他们新发现的关于虫子的知识。孩子们用橡皮泥和纸盘再现了毛毛虫的生命周期。他们把白色的橡皮泥搓成虫卵,把绿色的橡皮泥搓成毛毛虫,再用木棍把蛹挂在上面,最后孩子们设计出了最美丽的蝴蝶。孩子们选择了自己蝴蝶的颜色、图案和形状,展示了自己的风格。接下来,孩子们把一个纸盘涂成黑色,一个涂成红色,制作出了非常漂亮的瓢虫。红色纸盘随后被切成两半。每一片都用打孔器剪开,然后用大头针连接在一起。这样就形成了黑色的身体和可以张开和闭合的红色翅膀。然后,他们在头部添加了一个黑色的小半圆环,并粘上了眼睛和天线用的水管清洁棒。神奇的瓢虫 !
Physical development
体能发展
The class activity of rescuing bugs from a tangled spider web provided a dynamic and engaging opportunity for the children to enhance their physical development. As they worked together to wrap string around the table legs and create the intricate web, they exercised their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Pulling the string tight and twisting it in various directions required precision and control, further refining their motor abilities. Additionally, navigating through tunnels and using tweezers to carefully extract bugs from the web challenged their spatial awareness and dexterity. The physical aspect of racing through the tunnels and retrieving bugs with tweezers also promoted agility, balance, and gross motor skills. Moreover, the element of suspense and excitement added a motivating factor, encouraging the children to move quickly and carefully. Overall, the class activity not only sparked the children's imagination and creativity but also provided a fun and effective way to promote their physical development in a dynamic and interactive setting.
从缠结的蜘蛛网中救出小虫子的班级活动为孩子们提供了一个充满活力和参与性的机会,以促进他们的身体发展。当他们齐心协力将绳子缠绕在桌腿上,编织出错综复杂的蜘蛛网时,他们的精细动作技能和手眼协调能力得到了锻炼。拉紧绳子并向不同方向扭转需要精确和控制,这进一步提高了他们的运动能力。此外,在隧道中穿行和使用镊子小心翼翼地从网中夹出小虫子也对他们的空间感和灵活性提出了挑战。在隧道中飞奔和用镊子夹取小虫子的体能方面也促进了灵活性、平衡性和粗大运动技能。此外,悬念和兴奋的元素也增加了激励因素,鼓励孩子们快速而谨慎地行动。总之,这项班级活动不仅激发了孩子们的想象力和创造力,还提供了一种有趣而有效的方式,在充满活力的互动环境中促进他们的身体发育。

Exit Point
出口点
To end this unit, the children took a very exciting trip to a bug museum to see many different types of bugs from around the world. During their visit, they took part in a bug scavenger hunt. Each child was given a card with several bug pictures that could be found in the museum. As the children walked through the museum, they had to search for the bugs in the picture and cross it off once it was found. At the museum, the children saw some amazing bugs including a giant spider, stick insect, beetles, worms and so many different coloured butterflies. The children walked around very excited seeing the different bugs, especially the bugs that were very big. After visiting the museum, the children went outside to the lawn to enjoy a picnic with their classmates and friends. The children laughed and talked as they shared their favourite snacks and drinks, read a story together and played some games. What a great end to a great unit.
在本单元的最后,孩子们参加了一次非常令人兴奋的虫子博物馆之旅,参观了世界各地不同种类的虫子。在参观过程中,他们参加了虫子寻宝游戏。每个孩子都拿到了一张卡片,上面有几张可以在博物馆里找到的虫子图片。孩子们在博物馆里一边走,一边寻找图片上的虫子,一旦找到就划掉。在博物馆里,孩子们看到了许多神奇的虫子,包括大蜘蛛、粘虫、甲虫、蠕虫和许多不同颜色的蝴蝶。孩子们看到这些不同的虫子,尤其是那些非常大的虫子,兴奋地走来走去。参观完博物馆后,孩子们来到室外的草坪上,与同学和朋友们一起野餐。孩子们有说有笑地分享着自己喜欢的零食和饮料,一起读故事,玩游戏。一个美好的单元就这样结束了。
