Moon
The children were encouraged to brainstorm various topics that they would like to work on for our project week. They listed a few, keeping in mind the theme of the term which was “Who do I share the world with?”. After much discussion, as a class, they decided to find out more about the moon! I think they are still fascinated about the Universe!
Throughout their research and inquiry, they found out a lot of interesting facts about the moon. They learnt that just like Earth, other planets have moons too. Mars has two moons while Jupiter has a total of 63 confirmed moons (as of 2009). The children also watched a video clip of a rocket launching into space. They had fun counting backwards from ten all the way to one. Blast off! They also learnt that man had set foot on the moon and the first ever astronaut to land on it was Neil Amstrong.
Later on, the children were encouraged to think of a few activities they would like to do pertaining to the topic. They suggested making a rocket ship and using playdough to create the moon! They had fun painting their rocket ships and used scrap materials to add the special features like windows and even astronauts on their piece of art. As for the playdough activity, scientific elements were integrated into it. Each child was given a plate and a marble. As the moon rotated around the Earth, the children had to focus and spin their marble around the moon. They worked very hard to keep the “moon” on their plate as they moved it. Good control, K1 friends! Watch the video in my next post!
Overall, it was a fun and meaningful project week! Well done, K1s!

Food
这周我们学习的主题是“食物”，我们有学习不同食物的包装袋，有吃的食物袋，喝的包装瓶，还有用的包装盒。然后我们有学习偏旁部首“口字旁“，学习认识了有关口字旁的汉字，并运用学习的汉字学说短语。最后我们投票选择做的手工是“冰淇淋”，因为我们都喜欢吃冰淇淋。

Sun
This week, the children explored the star in centre of our solar system, the sun! They discussed the importance of the sun to our planet and documented their findings through creative writing. They did very well copy writing and tracing the sentences they created. They drew beautiful pictures too! They also learnt many interesting facts about the sun for e.g. the sun is a huge ball of burning gas and the light from the sun travels eight minutes to reach our planet. Interesting!
On Thursday, they conducted an experiment with light. They had fun creating shadows of animals and shapes on the IWB (Interactive whiteboard). They also discovered that light could pass through some of the transparent objects in class but were blocked by the opaque ones. They enjoyed shining through the objects using torchlights in our dark classroom. What an interesting experience!
