Highlights of the Week (24/25 Term 2 Week 5)

Hello friends! Welcome to week 5! Our PN children had another joyful week at school! Our theme for the week was all about pets, with a special focus on cats. We learned how to take care of cats, including feeding them, grooming them, and playing with them. For English, we introduced the letter O, and it was a big hit! The children learned words like octopus, otter, and orange. We had a blast pretending to swim like an octopus and otter in the classroom, wiggling our arms and laughing as we moved around. We also practiced writing the letter O in the air, which made us become more familiar with its shape and sound. By the end of the week, we were confidently identifying the letter O and words that start with it! One of the highlights of the week was learning the concept of same and different. We played a game called the Guessing Game. We used a mystery box with one object hidden inside and we had to take turns feeling the object inside the box. We then guessed whether the object was the same or different from another object shown to us. Such a FUN game we had! It was another fantastic week in ABC, filled with laughter and learning. We can’t wait to see what next week has in store! Have a wonderful weekend!

We begin our new month of March with so much excitement as we are starting some new things this month. In Phonics, we are learning our last couple of sounds and recapping the previous ones this week before we start blending next week! In Cambridge, we revisited our vocabulary by trying the food we learned about last week; we loved trying some tomatoes, oranges, cakes and pears. It was such an exciting way to practice using our sentence structure of “I like/don’t like…” while learning about our classmates likes and dislikes. For Critical Thinking, we started our month-long topic of Space by looking closely at our home, Planet Earth. Everyone designed their own planet Earth by scrunching up bits of green and blue paper and gluing it together to make water and land; the scrunching was a wonderful way for us to practice our fine motor skills. In Math we challenged ourselves and turned our ABAB patterns into ABCABC patterns by adding one more object. We look forward to more fun next week!

In K2 this week, we continued to introduce our Cambridge curriculum with new adventures of our four exciting super friends who will accompany us throughout the second term. Additionally, we also continued to explore and revise vocabulary based on objects we use in school.

For Math, we are now very familiar with addition up to 5 and are excited to add bigger numbers up to 10. We are currently in the process of learning to count and identify numbers ranging to 70, and by this week we have successfully covered numbers up to 100!

In Critical Thinking, we began our journey through our Space theme and started talking about our dear planet Earth. We used the internet to have a big over view of what the Earth looks from a distance and used adjectives like colours to describe our planet and what we see here. The Earth is truly fascinating!

Hello mommies and daddies! We had such a fun week here at ABC! The field trip was a such a fun time. Even though it rained on us a little bit, we still had a chance to talk about treating our environment well, learning about different animals and where they live, and got to see some animals…including the pandas! Back at school this week, we got to begin one of our favourite topics, SPACE! We will be discussing Space and the things we might find there all month to prepare for our next project! In our Maths lessons, we continued to discuss Hong Kong money and how to identify the different types of notes we might use. We focused mainly on the notes this week and will begin discussing the different values of coins next week. In our Physical Play, we pushed our bodies to the limit testing our jumping skills with high jumping and long jumping. Be careful trying some at home! Have a great rest of your week and we will see you next time!

主題:「衣服/我的身體」-自製環保袋

經過上星期的講解後，幼兒已經知道衣服的用處，還能說出自己的衣服是從商店購買的。在進行收拾衣服比賽時，幼兒都努力把衣服整齊地掛在衣架上，老師亦藉此教導幼兒在家可為家人服幫忙爸爸媽媽做家務。

另外，今週PN進行了展示自製環保袋活動，老師教導幼兒如何介紹自己的作品，各人都留心傾聽，幼兒拿起和爸爸媽媽一起製作的環保袋時都顯得份外自信、雀躍萬分，我們在此感謝爸爸媽媽的參與，讓幼兒實踐環保概念、培養創意及創造力，更從製作環保袋中學習表現自己及欣賞他人。

學習目的:

1.認識購買衣服的地方

2.認識不同場合的衣服

3.學習表現自己及欣賞他人

主題：「有益的食物」－健康的雞蛋牛奶

本週展開新主題「有益的食物」，老師透過邀請幼兒分享他們的早餐經驗，來引起他們的興趣。這樣的互動不僅讓幼兒們感到參與感，還能幫助他們初步了解食物對身體的重要性。透過這些討論，幼兒知道食物能幫助我們吸收各種營養，並學習如何選擇健康的食物，以促進他們的成長和發展。老師亦與幼兒一起觀察雞蛋和牛奶，討論雞蛋和牛奶的製成品，明白有營養的意思。家長在家中可以與幼兒一起準備健康餐點，讓幼兒了解食物來源和營養價值。

主題----「植物與小昆蟲」

這週是「植物與小昆蟲」學習主題的尾聲了，老師與小朋友討論益蟲與害蟲，例如小朋友分享蜜蜂會釀造蜂蜜，所以是益蟲，而他們也探討昆蟲常出沒的地方，例如:公園和郊外等等。之後，老師介紹有關公園內常見的標誌及事物，小朋友也透過他們的猜測去分析不同的公園標誌牌，例如:寵物勿進的標誌，讓他們了解到公園內應遵守的守則及培養公德心。

另外，小朋友透過觀察圖片溫習了名詞與動詞，再為句子填上適當的名詞或動詞。最後，老師帶領小朋友認識了「一箭雙雕」的成語故事，比喻一次舉動，可以同時達到兩個目標。

學習目的：

1) 認識益蟲和害蟲
