上周，PK1和K2去了南头古城的虫影神奇动物乐园。在讲解老师的指引下，孩子们认识了蜡白猴树蟾，学习了怎么分辨蟾蜍和青蛙🐸，见到了生气的时候下巴的刺会鼓起来，像狮子一样的鬃狮蜥，有豹子斑点的豹纹守宫壁虎、睫角守宫🦎、石龙子，还有云南西双版纳的千足虫🐛和蝎子🦂。还知道了玉米蛇因为颜色像玉米，第一次被发现是在美国东北部玉米田地里🐍。孩子们都特别勇敢，在讲解老师的引导下，和小动物们进行了积极的互动。
Last week, PK1 and K2 went to reptile house in Nantou Ancient Town. The children were introduced to the waxen monkey tree toad, learned how to tell a toad from a frog, the chin spines that puff up when they are angry, the leopard geckos with leopard spots, the crested gecko, the skinks, and the millipedes and scorpions of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province. They also learned that corn snakes, whose color looks like corn, were first found in corn fields in the northeastern United States. The children were brave and had a positive interaction with the animals under the guidance of the teacher.
周四一早，迎着秋风，PS小班的小朋友们开始了第一次户外拓展之旅——前往深圳湾运动公园！孩子们都对这次旅行非常期待。在去的大巴车上，孩子们和老师们一起唱起了他们喜欢的童谣。到达公园后，小朋友一起玩降落伞游戏，一起欢快地歌唱。之后各个班都开展了各种有趣的活动，有的班和孩子们一起捡树叶，有的和孩子们一起画树叶，有的在草坪上飞飞盘，踢足球。孩子们都玩得不亦乐乎。
On Thursday morning, facing the autumn wind, the children of PS classes started their first outdoor trip to Shenzhen Bay Park. The children were all looking forward to the trip. On the bus, they sang their favorite nursery rhymes with teachers. After arriving at the park, they played the parachute game and sang happily together. Then each class carried out a variety of interesting activities-picking up leaves, drawing playing frisbee and football. They really had a great day there!
艺术课 Art Class
在艺术课上，孩子们已经共同合作完成了他们用废旧材料制作的画布，显而易见，这是一组非常丰富多彩和具有创造性的作品系列！作品在未完工的时候，老师便已经将它们展示出来供大家欣赏，每当走入美工室的时候，孩子们都有机会欣赏到别的班级和自己班的作品，然后反思他们的作品是否已完成或需要继续；当我们看到这些作品在展示的期间发生一轮又一轮的变化是特别有趣的。此外，PK和K班经历了一个充满挑战的过程——为他们的艺术作品集思群想并投票决定最终的名称，到目前为止，有的作品还是无法确定该叫什么。虽然我们已经完成了这个项目，但接下来，我们依然会继续有意识地重复利用废旧材料，减少垃圾的产生，爱护我们生活的环境。
In the ELC Atelier, students have completed their collaborative canvases made of reused materials, it’s a very colorful and creative collection! The teachers have put all works from different classes on display in the hallway, so they had a chance to look at the works and reflect on whether their work is finished or needs to be continued. It was interesting to see how these artworks change over these two weeks. In addition, children from PK and K went through a challenging process of brainstorming and voting on the final title for their artworks. Although we have completed this project, we will continue to consciously reuse waste materials, reduce the generation of waste, and take good care of our living environment.
