Grade 2

This week, our focus shifted to strengthening core skills in literacy and numeracy. The students enthusiastically explored the differences between long and short vowel sounds through various engaging activities. In mathematics, we began comparing numbers, developing our understanding of greater than, less than, and equal to concepts.

这周，我们的重点转向了加强读写和计算的核心技能。学生们通过各种有趣的活动，积极探索长元音和短元音之间的区别。在数学中，我们开始比较数字，发展对大于、小于和等于概念的理解。

Grade 3

In addition to reading numbers to ascertain the calorie content of snacks, the students in Grade 3 recognised that numbers also serve important functions in counting, measuring, and telling time, among other uses. Using various tools and resources available in the classroom, the students explored the different methods of constructing numbers before concentrating on base ten cubes and counters, along with a place value chart.

除了通过读取商品外包装上数字来确定零食的卡路里含量外，三年级的学生还认识到数字在计数、测量和计时等方面也发挥着重要作用。学生们利用课堂上提供的各种工具和资源，探索了构建数字的不同方法，然后集中精力学习利用以十为基数的小方块、计数器和位值表来表示不同数字。

Grade 4

Students began the year by learning about place value, ranging from thousandths to millions. Students have now moved on to learning how to multiply 4-digit numbers by 2-digit numbers.

学生们开始学习位值，从千分位到百分位的数数位值。他们学习如何用四位数乘以两位数。

Grade 5

Students learned to create pie charts by collecting data, calculating percentages, and presenting them as chart sectors. They also practised clear labelling and organisation, making the information easy to read and compare while understanding how pie charts visually communicate proportions.

学生们掌握了通过收集数据、计算百分比并将其呈现为扇区来构建饼状图的方法。此外，他们还进行了清晰标注与信息组织的练习，以确保数据易于解读与比较，并深入理解饼状图在直观表达比例关系方面的作用。

Grade 6

Students practised working with fractions and solved more complex expressions involving both fractions and mixed operations. They also engaged with word problems centred on genetics, which helped strengthen their problem-solving abilities and their capacity to apply mathematical thinking to real-world scientific scenarios.

学生们练习了分数的运算，并解决了涉及分数和混合运算的更复杂表达式。他们还参与了以遗传学为核心的应用题训练，这有助于增强他们解决问题的能力以及将数学思维应用于现实科学场景的能力。

Art

What another fantastic week! Our students in Early Years have been exploring methods of self-expression, creatively translating their insights into art using a variety of mixed media. Meanwhile, our students in Primary have been utilising every minute of class time to refine their artworks. It is truly exciting to see their unique personal styles gradually shine through their artwork.

又是精彩的一周！我们的幼儿园学生们一直在探索自我表达的方法，并以创造性的方式将他们的认识转化为艺术作品。与此同时，我们小学部的学生也积极利用有限的课堂时间来完善和提升他们正在制作的作品。看到他们独特的个人风格逐渐在他们的作品中显现出来，真是令人兴奋。

Music

This week in music class, students engaged in projects exploring global music traditions. They discovered diverse instruments, rhythms, and melodies from different cultures, enhancing their appreciation of world music. Through collaboration and research, students broadened their understanding, developed creativity, and gained valuable insights into the rich variety of musical expression worldwide.

本周在音乐课上，学生们参与了探索全球音乐传统的项目。他们发现了来自不同文化的不同乐器、节奏和旋律，提高了他们对世界音乐的鉴赏力。通过合作和研究，学生们拓宽了他们的理解，培养了创造力，并对世界各地丰富多样的音乐表达获得了宝贵的见解。

ICT

Our K3 students took their first steps in ICT by exploring how to use a computer mouse, while Grade 1 discovered how technology works in school and Grade 2 learned about input, process, and output in digital devices. Moving up, Grade 3 explored what the internet is made of, Grade 4 investigated how computer systems work, and Grade 5 uncovered how data packets allow computers to send messages across the globe. Finally, our Grade 6 students applied their knowledge by creating digital posters on how to stay safe online.

K3的学生通过探索如何使用鼠标，迈出了学习信息通信技术的第一步；一年级的学生了解了技术在学校的运作方式；二年级的学生学习了数字设备的输入、处理和输出。接着，三年级探索了互联网是由什么组成的，四年级研究了计算机系统是如何工作的，五年级揭示了数据包是如何让计算机在全球范围内发送信息的。最后，我们六年级的学生们运用他们的知识，制作了关于如何安全上网的数字海报。

Mandarin

Ms. Carol: Students studied three classical poems set in the golden autumn season. Through "望洞庭" and "山行," they appreciated the poets' fondness and admiration for the autumn scenery. Additionally, they sensed the poet's loneliness and homesickness evoked by the sound of the autumn wind in "夜书所见".

Ms. Nicky: Grade 5 students learned about expository writing and understood its basic characteristics. They recognised that the primary purpose of expository writing is to introduce subjects and explain concepts to readers, rather than to tell stories or express emotions. They then focused on studying several common expository techniques, such as providing examples, listing numerical data, making comparisons, and using analogies.

Ms. Carol: 学生们学习了三首以金秋时节为背景的古诗。从《望洞庭》和《山行》中，他们感受到了诗人对秋色的喜爱与赞美；同时，通过《夜书所见》中描绘的秋风之声，他们也体会到了诗人孤寂思乡的情感。

Ms. Nicky：五年级的学生们学习了说明文，了解了说明文的基本特点。他们知道说明文的主要目的是向读者介绍事物、阐明事理，而不是讲述故事或抒发情感。然后，他们重点学习了举例子、列数字、打比方、作比较等几种常见的说明方法。

Library

Book Club students read about the enchanted world of “The Numberleys” and imagined a world where no alphabet existed - only numbers. Students also used dice to determine the details of the stories they created. The roll-of-a-dice determined which character(s), setting and problem would appear in their original wiring pieces.

读书俱乐部的学生们阅读了《数字利家族》中那充满魔力的世界，并想象了一个没有字母只有数字的世界。学生们还用骰子来决定他们所创作故事的细节。

Chinese Maths

Ms. Carol: Students mastered addition and subtraction within 5 this week. They were introduced to the “+” and “-” symbols and learned to read and understand arithmetic expressions. They practised calculating subtraction using methods such as counting, drawing diagrams, number decomposition, and using addition to solve subtraction problems. They understood that addition is used to find the total when combining two parts, while subtraction is used to find the remainder when removing a portion from a whole.

Ms. Leaf: Based on mastering the operation laws of integer multiplication, students learn to extend laws such as the distributive law of multiplication and the associative law of multiplication to the operation laws of decimals and fractions. Through understanding the meaning of multiplication, they master simple operations in the practice of exercises.

Ms. Carol: 学生们掌握了5以内加减法，认识了“+”“-”符号，能认读和理解算式含义。学会通过数数、画图、数的组成及想加法算减法等方式计算减法。理解加法适用于合并两部分求总数，减法适用于从整体中去除一部分求剩余。

Ms. Nicky: 学生们在掌握整数乘法运算定律的基础上，学会将乘法分配律、乘法结合律等定律推广到小数和分数的运算定律中，通过对乘法意义的理解，在习题的实践中掌握了简便运算。

P.E.

When students systematically study physical education, they gain insights that go far beyond athletic skills. They come to understand that “no one succeeds easily”—progress in skill and fitness comes from consistent, dedicated practice each day. Whether it’s overcoming a fear of deep water in the pool or mastering the art of passing and assisting on the court, these experiences foster a positive outlook on life and help build strong mental resilience.

当学生系统地学习体育时，他们获得的洞察力远超运动技能。他们会明白“没有人能轻易成功”——技能和体能的进步源于每天坚持不懈的刻苦练习。无论是克服泳池中对深水的恐惧，还是掌握球场上传球和助攻的技巧，这些经历都能培养积极的人生观，并有助于建立强大的心理韧性。
