Grade 2

Curiosity and exploration guided the learning this week as students practised working with tenses in their writing and strengthened their subtraction and addition skills in Math. Engaging online educational games added excitement and helped reinforce the concepts while keeping learning fun and interactive. 

本周，学生们在好奇心和探索精神的引领下进行学习，他们在写作中练习时态的运用，并在数学课上强化了减法和加法的技能。富有吸引力的在线教育游戏增添了乐趣，有助于强化概念，同时让学习变得有趣且互动性强。

Grade 3

As the students in Grade 3 continued their fascinating journey through the digestive system, they delved deeper into the body to discover more about its vital organs and the roles they play. By revisiting the definition of digestion, they unearthed intriguing reasons as to why certain other essential organs, such as the heart, do not quite fit into this particular system.

随着三年级学生继续探索消化系统的奇妙之旅，他们深入研究了身体，以发现更多关于重要器官及其作用的信息。通过重新审视消化的定义，他们发现了有趣的现象，即为什么某些其他重要器官（如心脏）并不完全属于这个特定的系统。

Grade 4

In Grade 4, the 1st Unit of Inquiry has engaged students in exploring how their brains function. Students have examined the various parts of the brain and investigated the functions each part manages. Students have also explored how the brain sends signals to and guides the body.

在四年级，第一单元探究活动让学生们了解大脑是如何运作的。学生们研究了大脑的不同部分，并探究了每个部分所负责的功能。

Grade 5

Students inquired about the classification of animals and explored how living creatures are grouped based on their similarities and differences. Through observation, questioning, and discussion, they learn about various categories, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates. This inquiry helps them understand the diversity of life, recognise patterns in nature, and develop scientific thinking skills.

学生们在对动物分类进行探究时，探索了如何根据生物的相似性和差异将它们进行分组。在观察、提问及讨论的过程中，他们深入了解了哺乳动物、鸟类、爬行动物、两栖动物、鱼类以及无脊椎动物等主要类别。这种探究式学习不仅有助于学生们理解生命的多样性，认识自然界中的生物分类模式，还能有效培养其科学思维与探究能力。

Grade 6

By learning about selective breeding and genetic modification, students saw firsthand how humans influence the traits of different species. These activities encouraged them to ask questions, test ideas, and analyse results—experiences that reflect the methods used by scientists in real-world investigations.

学生们了解了人类如何通过选择性育种和基因改造，有意识地塑造不同物种的特征。在这个过程中，他们提出问题、探究方法并解释证据——这些做法和科学家努力理解自然世界时的方式非常相似。

Art

Our students continued to deepen their study of the structure of internal organs and the composition of facial features during art class. Through observation, questioning, and group discussion, they learned how to represent these elements in three-dimensional forms using mixed media. Simultaneously, they utilised water marbling and lacquer painting techniques to represent the unpredictable nature of brainwave activity.

学生们在美术课上深入研究和学习人体内脏结构和五官组成。在观察、提问及讨论的过程中学习了如何结合综合材料以立体的方式呈现它们。同时利用了水拓印、漆画颜料去表达不可用肉眼预测的脑电波活动。

Music

Our school was buzzing with investigation! Young scientists in K3-G1 explored the properties of sound. G2/G3 analysed the physics of movement through dance choreography. Meanwhile, Upper Primary students conducted cultural research on world music, synthesising their discoveries into digital presentations for their peers.

本周，我校洋溢着浓厚的探究氛围！K3至G1年级的小小科学家们探索了声音的属性。G2和G3年级的学生通过舞蹈编排分析了运动的物理原理。与此同时，高年级学生进行了世界音乐的文化研究，并将他们的发现综合成数字演示文稿，与同伴分享。

ICT

From curious clicks to global connections, our students from K3 up to G6 are discovering how computing systems power scientific discovery! They began using technology as a tool for observation and explore how networks and data transmission can be used worldwide. This foundational knowledge empowers them to see technology not just as a tool, but as an integral system for collaborative problem-solving and real-world scientific exploration.

从好奇的点击到全球互联，我们从幼儿园大班到六年级的学生正在探索计算系统如何推动科学发现！他们开始将技术作为观察的工具，并探究网络和数据传输如何在全球范围内发挥作用。

Mandarin

Ms. Carol: Our young scientific inquirers became language detectives this week! While studying Unit 2 texts, they learned key techniques for unlocking word meanings, much like code-breakers analysing information. This process of using context clues and word analysis trains students to be careful observers, looking for clues, and to construct accurate interpretations—turning reading into an inquiry activity.

Ms. Nicky: In “The Secret of Night Flight,” students combined reading with hands-on scientific inquiry to understand how bats navigate at night. This approach not only revealed the mystery of bat flight but also transformed the abstract concept of “scientific inquiry” into clear, concrete steps that students could experience firsthand.

Ms. Carol: 我们的小小科学探究者们化身成为了“语言小侦探”！在学习第二单元的课文时，他们掌握了破解词义的关键技巧，犹如解码专家分析信息一般。这个过程——利用上下文线索和分析词语结构——与科学方法异曲同工：它训练学生成为细致的观察者，学会寻找线索并构建准确的理解，从而将阅读变成了一次探究活动。

Ms. Nicky：本次《夜间飞行的秘密》一课的教学，我们成功地将语文阅读理解与科学探究素养的培养进行了深度融合，取得了超越文本本身的良好效果。通过学习，四年级的学生们不仅理解了蝙蝠夜间飞行的奥秘，更重要的是，我们共同亲历了一场完整的科学探究过程，将“科学探究”这一抽象概念转化为学生可以理解和体验的具体步骤。

Library

Book club students read the story of Ada Twist, Scientist, exploring Ada’s curiosity and love of investigation. Students’ completed a brain game word search and participated in a “Help Ada Find the Smell” thinking “scientific experiemnt” activity.

读书俱乐部的学生们阅读了《科学家艾达•特维斯特》的故事，探索了艾达的好奇心和对探究的热爱。学生们完成了一个脑力游戏——单词搜索，并参与了“帮助艾达找到气味”的思维“科学实验”活动。

Chinese Maths

Ms. Carol: The students had a productive week exploring numbers six to nine, becoming adept at splitting and combining them to identify all possible pairs that made up a whole—an essential skill for future problem-solving. They further developed their abilities by practising comparison and sequencing, sharpening their observation and logical reasoning, much like scientists did when classifying and organising information.

Ms. Leaf: During the week, students explored and consolidated the multiplication table through addition-based operations. These multiplication rhymes served as foundational tools for quantitative observation and pattern generalisation in scientific inquiry. They enabled students to translate concrete phenomena into mathematical relationships and grasp the scientific logic of repetition.

Ms. Carol: 学生们们深入探索了6至9的数的组成、比较大小以及序数概念。他们通过分解与组合数字，透彻理解了数的整体与部分关系，为加减法学习奠定了坚实基础。在比较数量和排序定位的练习中，他们的观察比较能力和逻辑顺序思维得到了有效提升，这正是科学探究中数据分析与处理能力的雏形。

Ms. Leaf: 学生们本周在连加运算的基础上探究并总结乘法口诀表，这些乘法口诀是科学探究中量化观察和规律总结的基础工具，能帮助学生把具体现象转化为数学关系，理解“重复出现”的科学逻辑。

P.E.

The students learnt how the heart and lungs worked by skipping rope and running. When they exercised, their hearts beat faster and they breathed more quickly to get more oxygen to their muscles and remove waste. Regular exercise like this helped strengthen their hearts and lungs, and demonstrated how fitness improved over time.

学生通过跳绳和跑步来探究心肺系统的功能。在体育锻炼过程中，心率加快，呼吸加快，为肌肉提供额外的氧气和营养，同时清除代谢废物。持续进行此类锻炼可以增强心脏功能，提高肺活量，并以科学的方式证明心肺耐力是如何随着时间的推移而提高的。
