家长朋友们下午好~
今日故事时间孩子们跟随小猪踏上了一段充满悬念的探索之旅。故事从一块被神秘咬了一口的大饼开始——“是谁咬了我的大饼呢？”孩子们纷纷举起小手，七嘴八舌地猜测：“是小鸟！”“是小兔！”随着小猪一个个追问，大家屏息观察：小鸟的牙印尖尖的是小小的三角形，小兔的牙印像两扇小门，狐狸的牙印是大一点的三角，鳄鱼的牙印像大大的锯齿……每一个新牙印的出现，都引发一阵热烈的讨论和比较。当孩子们都以为找不到答案时，小猪饿得自己也咬了一口——咦？这个圆圆的牙印怎么和饼上最初的牙印一模一样？真相大白的那一刻，教室里爆发出阵阵欢笑与惊呼：“原来是小猪自己吃的呀！”故事结束后，孩子们意犹未尽，在匹配游戏中熟练地为每个动物找到了专属牙印，就像真正的侦探那样细心。最后的咬痕实验更是将活动推向高潮：每个孩子小心地在饼干上留下自己的牙印，有的像小船，有的像小山，有的圆溜溜的。原来每个人的咬痕都有些差别呢，真有趣！
今天，我们如约走进了云冈石窟壁画中的音乐世界，亲手触摸了昨天在音乐窟壁画中看到的那些古老乐器。孩子们从壁画走进现实，在猜猜、摸摸中真切地认识了琵琶、细腰鼓和埙这三种古老的乐器。课上孩子们好奇地观察、大胆地猜测、积极地模仿——小手轻轻弹拨琵琶；拍拍细腰鼓，敲出咚咚的节奏；鼓起小嘴吹奏陶埙（虽然不得要领没有发出声音）。在随后的乐器宝宝找家游戏中，孩子们都能准确地将不同乐器按演奏方式分类，送它们回到弹弹屋、拍拍屋和吹吹屋。最后的宫廷音乐会更是把气氛推向高潮，当老师发出指令，孩子们同时化身小乐手，用稚嫩动作和拟声演绎了一场穿越千年的童趣合奏。
Dear parents,
In today’s English class, our little ones had an immersive reading experience with the picture book 🐭 Maisy’s Chinese New Year! They followed Maisy to clean the house, shop for New Year supplies, gather with good friends for a delicious reunion meal, exchange lucky red packets, listen to Tiger tell the story of the Chinese zodiac, watch fireworks light up the night sky, and join in the lively parade and dragon dance to pray for blessings. They truly felt the joy and excitement of Chinese New Year 🧨!
Here’s a recap of what we learned today—please take a look!
🏮 With guidance, the kids can recognize and say 8-10 New Year-related words (such as Chinese New Year, lucky red packet, fireworks, dragon dance, parade, dumpling, market, decorations), and understand the meaning of “red is a lucky color”. They can retell simple plot points from the picture book (e.g., “Maisy goes to the market to buy new clothes” “has a reunion dinner with friends”) and, with prompts, use simple sentence patterns like “I see…” and “We can… during Chinese New Year” to describe scenes.
🏮 The children also learned about New Year customs: sweeping and tidying the house, visiting the market, having a feast, receiving lucky red packets, watching fireworks, and performing the dragon dance—all traditional Spring Festival activities.
🏮 Through fun games like word matching, the kids can name 5-6 zodiac animals (such as rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, pig, dog) and gained a basic understanding of the “Chinese zodiac”.
🎆 Through this picture book, they learned about the unique charm of Chinese New Year, deepened their connection with traditional culture, and showed great enthusiasm for participating in New Year-themed group activities!
