Pre-Nursery | Chinese New Year & Up in the Sky — Mills International Preschool 苗士國際幼稚園

PRE-NURSERY 預備班

Our little Caterpillars started their month by learning about Chinese New Year and the different traditions families have. We made themed artworks, coloured oxen and stuck coins onto red packets. Our students love to sing and dance, so we learnt different Chinese New Year-themed songs and performed them together. We all had a great time at our virtual celebration and the highlight was practising some Kung Fu moves with Bao Bao, the panda, and having a feast with our teachers and classmates.

我們小毛毛蟲班從一個月開始學習了農曆新年以及家庭的不同傳統。我們製作了主題藝術手工，有色的牛並將硬幣貼在紅包上。我們的學生喜歡唱歌和跳舞，因此我們學習了不同的農曆新年主題歌曲，並一起表演。我們所有人都在虛擬慶典上度過了愉快的時光，最重要的是與熊貓寶一起練習了功夫動作，並與我們的老師和同學一起享受了盛宴。

We continued learning about all the things we see Up in the Sky, with a focus on weather.

我們繼續學習所有我們在空中看到的事物，重點關注天氣。

During our online learning, we watched a weather report and our friend Daisy the Duck traveling around the world and reporting extreme weather conditions. The students made rainy day and rainbow artworks. Our students also learned about shadows and even tried making shadow puppets themselves.

在我們的在線學習中，我們觀看了天氣預報，而我們的朋友黛西鴨在世界各地旅行並報告極端天氣情況。學生們製作了雨天和彩虹藝術品。我們的學生還學習了影子，甚至嘗試自己製作影子玩偶。

We were so pleased to welcome the students back on campus! They had so much fun exploring the Wonder Room and playing on the climbing frame. A highlight of on campus learning was using the parachute in the Star Room. We lifted it up and down and ran under it before the parachute would hit the ground. We also spent lots of time dancing and playing musical instruments.

我們很高興並歡迎學生回到校園！他們在探索Wonder Room並在攀爬架上玩耍時非常開心。校園學習中的一大亮點是在Star Room中使用降落傘。在降落傘降落之前，我們將它上下抬起並在下面跑過去。我們還花了很多時間跳舞和彈奏樂器呢！

During the theme Chinese New Year, Pre-Nursery students explored this special festival through storytelling and game activities.

在春光明媚的二月裏，老師們和孩子們歡欣鼓舞地慶祝中國農曆新年。在網絡課堂上，老師給孩子們講了《年獸的故事》和《十二生肖的故事》，還和孩子們玩了十二生肖的遊戲，希望孩子們通過一系列的唱遊活動能對中國農曆新年有一個初步的瞭解。

The students returned on campus after the holidays. They were so excited to physically meet their teachers and friends. In addition to singing, dancing and listening to stories, the students enjoyed free play with their peers the most.

在與家人們歡度新年假期之後，學前班的孩子們回到了學校。孩子們非常開心在學校裏見到老師和朋友，除了和老師一起唱歌跳舞、聽老師講故事之外，孩子們最喜歡的就是自由活動環節。在自由玩耍的過程中，孩子們非常享受與同伴相處、一起合作完成拼圖或一起玩玩具的時光。

They continued exploring the theme Up in the Sky and learnt about more objects – airplane, balloon, and hot air balloon. During the online lessons, the students showed their toy airplanes and shared their favorite colour and styles of balloon.

在結束了「中國新年」這個主題後，學前班的孩子們繼續學習「天空中」的物體——飛機、氣球和熱氣球。在網絡課堂上有孩子向大家展示了他的玩具飛機，有孩子跟著老師一起跳「小飛機」的舞蹈，孩子們還分享了各自喜歡的氣球顔色和氣球樣式呢，老師非常開心看到孩子們自信自在地表達自己的想法。
