HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS  

Early Childhood students have embarked on a captivating adventure with their Unit of Inquiry (UOI) themed “Where We Are in Place and Time.” In the EC classroom, children investigate the fascinating world of different types of homes and the environments they reside in, sparking curiosity and wonder. As they explore spaces and facilities in and around buildings, they learn how these determine human use and discover homes such as caves, yurts, boat homes, and the like. Through this, students understand how these structures are thoughtfully adapted to their surroundings and why they are built the way they are. By engaging with hands-on activities and stories, our children explore key concepts like space, structure, and safety in a developmentally appropriate way. They begin to understand how different spaces are used and the importance of sharing these spaces respectfully with others. In art classes students also explored what a home for a birds, sheep or bees might look like. The IB PYP guides young learners on their learning journey, fostering a sense of wonder and connection to the world around them as they explore their place in time and space.

“我们所处的时空”的跨学科探究单元(UOI)中,幼儿园学生开启了一段充满魅力的探索之旅。课堂上,孩子们深入研究了各式各样的住宅及其所处的环境,激发出好奇心和探索欲。他们探索建筑内外的空间和设施,以及这些因素如何决定人们生活方式,发现了洞穴、蒙古包、船屋等多种不同的居住形式;接着学生们要理解这些住宅是如何巧妙地适应周围环境,以及它们的建造方式背后的原因。通过动手实践和故事分享,孩子们以适合他们发展阶段的方式,探索了空间、结构和安全等关键概念。他们开始认识到不同空间的用途,以及如何与他人和谐共享这些空间。艺术课上,学生们还探索了鸟、羊或蜜蜂的家是什么样子的。国际文凭小学项目(IB PYP)引导年轻的学习者踏上学习旅程,探索自己在时间和空间中的位置,培养他们对周围世界的好奇心和联系感。
