How do we live a well balanced life? How do we maintain a healthy diet as well as physical and mental health?

Our current UOI unit is “Who We Are”, and the central idea is “Making balanced choices allows us to have a healthy lifestyle”. Throughout the month of September, our students learned the importance of consistently practicing good hygiene habits in order to live a healthy life. With the knowledge we learned in the UOI classes in mind, our second-grade students took a field trip to the “shared garden” located in the Shunyi District. We let students discover and explore nature by letting them get their hands on picking apples, creating eco-enzymes, and feeding animals.

For our first stop, students visited the apple picking garden. September is the peak apple harvesting season, and we asked each student to pick five big and ripe apples and played a fun treasure hunt game during the process. During this activity, students not only learned the health benefits of organic apples, but they also got to experience how happy and rewarding it is to interact with nature.

图片
For our second stop, students were encouraged to participate in animal feeding. There were various types of animals such as chicken, sheep, and pig. All of the students were thrilled to see animals in action. As each student learned the proper way to feed each animal, they learned that every animal has different eating habits, and students also learned how to properly take care of each animal.

图片
For our third stop, our students went inside a laboratory that deals with creating eco-enzymes. The instructor led a hands-on activity with our students by teaching them how to use rotten apple wastes to make environmentally friendly enzymes, and during the activity, students actively participated by asking meaningful questions related to raw materials, enzyme-creating procedures as well as real life applications of these eco-friendly enzymes. At the end of the activity, the instructor asked every student to take their eco-enzymes that they created home. Our students are going to observe the migicalfermentation process of the eco-enzymes, which will eventually evolve into cleaning materials and air-fresheners in about a month.

After lunch, the freetime began. Students were given three options—reading, archery, and games—for their free time. Many students spent their free time independtly reading in the reading corners, participated in archery competitions amongst themselves, and ran around the activity area with their peers. Students enjoyed the happiness of making balanced choices during their free time.

After returning to school, students reflected and summarized their day at the “shared garden”. Each student recorded what he/she saw, heard, and felt. Students were asked to combine the knowledge that they learned in the UOI classes and independently filled out the daily report.

We are very hopeful that our “Interacting with nature in order to live a healthy life” themed field trip will deepen our students’ understanding of previous content knowledge they learned in class, trigger them to live a balanced, healthy life, and become advocates of maintaining a healthy diet as well as physical and mental health.

We sincerely hope that every child can live a healthy life and grow up happily.

  接着,老师和工作人员一起带领着孩子们完成了“云朵灯”的制作游戏,孩子们使用棉花、小彩球和胶水,共同设计,互相交流,独立完成,制作了属于自己的云朵灯。图书馆的工作台上,留下了孩子们认真工作的影子。

  尊重学生发展,让知识与实践相结合,对孩子们的探究精神充分保护和尊重,在不断的拓展中,引领学生成长,实现课程价值。

Enjoy reading and understanding children’s rights-inquiry activities of the third grade of PYP department.

What are the rights of students? What children’s rights are mainly involved in this activity?

Our current UOI unit is “Who We Are”, and the central idea is ” Active citizens advocate for  the rights of others”.

Before that, children have learned five basic rights of children and explored the difference between rights and privilege.

In the golden autumn season, accompanied by the children’s happy laughters and cheerful voices, PYP Grade 3 students, under the leadership of their teachers, walked hand in hand into the knowledge treasure house “Bao Xiao Library”, where they felt reading, shared knowledge and gained wisdom. three Individual activities and group activities., such as interesting reading, picture story sharing and DIY manual production, were carried out together and surrounded by books.

In the first project, students enter the library and find their favorite reading positions according to the previous groups. Started the interesting reading session. According to their own understanding, children find and choose books related to core themes such as children’s rights and child protection organizations to read. Some students combine what they have learned in the past, discuss in groups, study in cooperation, and share their gains. The whole project was carried out in a warm atmosphere.

In the second project, the staff brought us a “magic box” story. The children watched it happily and attentively. The attentive students watched it while thinking, and occasionally shared it with friends around them, exchanging their views. Teachers also insert some reminders in due course. Encourage children to combine with PYP spirit and think about what children’s rights they have experienced in the program.

And next, the teacher and staff led the children to complete the game of making “Cloud Lantern”. The children used cotton, small colored balls and glue, and everyone made their own little lantern. Children design together, communicate with each other and do it independently. On the workbench of the library, there are shadows of children working hard.

图片
Finally, the children work together, organize their personal space, sum up the knowledge and gains, and show their works in front of teachers happily, share the joy of learning.

This activity reflects the teaching  style of the PYP Department, which respects students’ development and combines knowledge with practice. It also reflects the protection and respect for children’s inquiry spirit. In the continuous development, we will lead students to grow and realize the value of the course.

The children returned to school happily. Returning with the children, there is also the joy brought by activities and the growth brought by practice.

 GRADE 4

四年级

探究单元:信念和价值观

双语部四年级学生参观了孔庙和国子监,开展了一次别有意义的实践与探究相结合的出游。

出游前孩子们学习了信念与价值观会影响人们的选择,也通过一系列的探究活动了解了个人信仰和信仰体系。

儒家文化作为中国最重要的宝藏,潜移默化地影响着我们的行为方式和思考方式,起着引导作用。

为了让孩子对于孔庙和儒家思想获得直观的感受,我们首先参观了大成门和触奸柏,通过完成老师提前准备的“探宝”形式的作业单,孩子们获得了很多有趣的知识,比如“触奸柏”是孔庙内最大的一棵柏树,相传是许衡所植,已有近七百年的历史。

  大成殿门口的殿牌匾写着万世师表,高度歌颂孔子一生的功业以及留给后人无尽的精神遗产。

辟雍殿是古代皇上讲书的地方,大殿为两重屋檐,上覆黄色琉璃瓦,檐角翘起,大殿正面屋檐之下,高挂着乾隆皇帝书写的“辟雍”匾额,整个建筑庄严且精美。

  孩子们在快乐的探究与学习中完成了这次出游,不仅深化了探究课的学习,还对中国传统文化和价值观有了更深入的思考,也为本单元接下来的学习奠定了基础。

This unit for Who We Are in Grade 4, the PYP students have been learning about how “our beliefs and values can influence the way we make choices.” We visited the Imperial College and Confucius Temple in Beijing yesterday for our students to deepen their understanding of our unit. It was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore the Chinese beliefs and values imbued in this era. Prompted by the pictures and questions on their worksheet, the students developed as inquirers who sought to find the answers, like in a game of treasure hunt. We had an interesting short debrief afterwards to consolidate our learning as a group. Some shared their realisation that education and hardwork are part of the Chinese values and understood when and how it started.

Theme:How We Express Ourselves

Central Idea:  People express and discover ideas through creativity.

Lines of Inquiry:

1.How creativity may be expressed

2.How people’s creativity has led to change

3.How perception of creativity leads to new ideas

People express and discover ideas through creativity. Using this central idea as a guide, Grade 5 researched and discussed different architecture styles and elements from ancient to modern and from Beijing to the rest of the world. We then took a field trip to the Beijing World Park to study the parts, the purposes, and the complexities of the different architecture styles on display. The Grade 5 students reflected on their learning during the excursion and are using their new knowledge for their Summative Assessment.
