Hello everyone,
In today’s PBL lesson, the children learned about the characteristic of insects. They discovered that all insects consist of 3 body parts (head, thorax, abdomen), 2 antenna, 6 legs and an exoskeleton. After being taught about these characteristics and labelling the body parts of an insect, the children carried out a sorting exercise when they looked at an animal’s anatomy and decided if it was an insect or not.
In phonics, the children reviewed the high-frequency words taught and were introduced to the next word, ‘do.’ We began by singing the song, “Do You Like Broccoli Ice Cream.” Then, they listened to the story From Head to Toe and carried out the actions whilst repeating the phrase, “I can do it.” The children asked each other question such as “do you like pizza?” and “do you want juice?” Answering with the phrase, “yes, I do” or, “no, I don’t.”
In Chinese class, the children learned about ants. Once again they learned about the anatomy of an ant. The children demonstrated their understanding by making a playdough ant consisting of 3 body parts, 2 antenna and 6 legs.
今天的中文PBL课上，我们一起走进了蚂蚁的小小世界。孩子们首先回忆了上周在公园里和蚂蚁的偶遇：有的孩子说在树干上发现了蚂蚁；有的孩子说拿起一块石头，看到底下有好多好多蚂蚁在跑；还有的孩子在树叶上看到蚂蚁，伸手去抓却扑了个空。在边回忆边叙述中，我们了解了蚂蚁喜欢住在哪儿、爱去哪里玩。接着，跟着书本，好多让人惊讶的秘密被揭开了——原来小蚂蚁竟然会结茧，再从蛹里钻出来；蚂蚁宝宝全是蚂蚁妈妈带大的；它们的家叫做“蚁巢”，冬天全家就缩在巢里暖暖和和地过冬；蚂蚁最爱甜甜的东西，而它们的触角不光好看，还能用来闻味道呢！孩子们听得眼睛都亮了。认识了蚂蚁的身体结构—–头、胸、腹三部分，六条腿，两根触角之后，大家就动手啦。超轻粘土、火柴棍、扭扭棒在手里变来变去，一只只神气的小蚂蚁就这样诞生了。我们不光用眼睛看、用脑子想，还用手捏出了属于自己的蚂蚁伙伴，真是太有意思了！
