Dear Parents,

Grade 4 has gotten off to a fantastic start this year! To prepare ourselves for the year ahead we did some very important things. We set learning goals for ourselves to challenge how far we can take our learning this year. We created essential agreements for home learning, our reading area, classroom environment, play time, canteen, Seesaw as well as between ourselves to make sure that we are kind to each other and work together cooperatively. We decided a class ‘Motto’ would be good way to help us build team spirit in our class environment, to help us learn to work better as a team. We wanted to make our reading area more comfortable and inviting, so we all brought decorations (tents, pillows and our character figurines from our favourite stories to help us make a visual connection when reading) from home and made the area ‘ours.’ Now we are enjoying reading even more!

親愛的家長們，

新的學(xué)期我們有了非常好的開始。為了給接下來一整個(gè)學(xué)年的學(xué)習(xí)做準(zhǔn)備，我們完成了很多重要的任務(wù)：我們定下了學(xué)習(xí)目標(biāo)，準(zhǔn)備不斷地挑戰(zhàn)自己;我們?yōu)榧彝プ鳂I(yè)、圖書角、教室環(huán)境、休息時(shí)間、食堂、Seesaw和與人相處制定了大家都要遵守的協(xié)議，提醒自己友善待人、團(tuán)結(jié)合作;我們還一起選擇了班級(jí)口號(hào)，培養(yǎng)團(tuán)隊(duì)精神，以便以后能更好地互相幫助。為了把圖書角變得更加舒適有趣，我們從家里帶來了各種裝飾物(帳篷、枕頭和故事中人物的掛件和擺件)，這樣我們?cè)谧x書時(shí)也可以把情節(jié)和裝飾聯(lián)系起來?，F(xiàn)在圖書角成為了我們創(chuàng)造力的見證，和我們的聯(lián)系更緊了，我們也比之前更喜歡閱讀了。

We learnt about “How We Organize Ourselves”: how new digital media changes the way in which people access information and connect to each other. The lines of inquiry we investigated were ‘how new digital energy is used or organized’, ‘evaluating information’, and ‘our responsibility in a virtual environment’. We did many group activities where we researched, then discussed and formulated understandings on what we were learning. We also drew connection through our P.E lessons, between homeroom learning and traditional Chinese culture as well. We decided as a class to use our Seesaw app as a media platform to communicate with all our parents and teachers throughout the day. Our favourite part is getting to read the comments where our parents, peers and teachers ask us questions about our learning. When we uploaded our Mid-Autumn festival riddles from our Padlet activity and our digital footprints that we created onto Seesaw, we received a lot of responses from our audience, and that made us feel very excited to have the real time responses.

在第一個(gè)探究單元，我們學(xué)習(xí)了“我們?nèi)绾谓M織自我”：新型數(shù)字媒體改變了人們獲得信息和相互交往的方式。我們的探究思路包括：“人們是如何使用并組織新型數(shù)字技術(shù)的”、“評(píng)價(jià)獲得的信息”和“虛擬環(huán)境中人們的責(zé)任?！蔽覀冞M(jìn)行了很多小組活動(dòng)，搜集資料、討論并針對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容形成自己的理解。我們還把探究單元跟體育課和中國傳統(tǒng)文化結(jié)合起來。Seesaw成為了我們與爸爸媽媽和老師溝通的媒介。我們特別喜歡讀帖子下面的評(píng)論，爸爸媽媽、老師和同學(xué)有任何問題都可以在評(píng)論區(qū)留言。慶祝中秋節(jié)時(shí)，我們用Padlet自己創(chuàng)作燈謎，還把燈謎上傳到了Seesaw上，學(xué)習(xí)第三個(gè)探究思路時(shí)我們也上傳了自己的數(shù)字足跡，收到了很多及時(shí)的回復(fù)，這讓我們非常高興。

Our math and language lessons are a lot of fun, too! They are closely connected to our units of inquiry and we often use station activities for our learning. This gives us chances to learn through many interesting and engaging activities. We had multiple hands-on tasks in math, such as creating our own 3D shapes and inquiring about place value using the math resources. In English lessons, we incorporated technology while getting ourselves familiar with various features of dialogues in story writing, creating descriptive paragraphs and fictional narratives. We enjoyed using our imagination and creativity in these activities.

我們的數(shù)學(xué)和英語課也很有意思，它們和探究單元是緊密聯(lián)系的，我們經(jīng)常分組輪流完成不同的活動(dòng)，這樣有機(jī)會(huì)通過很多有趣的任務(wù)投入到學(xué)習(xí)中。在數(shù)學(xué)課上我們動(dòng)手制作3D立體圖形，并利用教學(xué)資源學(xué)習(xí)進(jìn)位。在英語課上，我們用iPad和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)先了解了故事中人物對(duì)話的特點(diǎn)，再自己創(chuàng)作描述性段落和故事。在這些學(xué)習(xí)活動(dòng)中，我們都盡可能發(fā)揮想象力和創(chuàng)造力。

When we returned from our Chinese National Holiday we began our new unit of inquiry on “Who We Are”. During this unit we will be discussing and learning about our different body systems, the structure of the human body in general, our skeletons, muscles and organs. To how these interactions all contribute to our health and survival. We are thoroughly enjoying this unit of inquiry so far, as it is allowing for in-depth research and a lot of discussion and hands on use of resources on the many different topics. We are even taking the unit further than planned, showing that we are indeed ‘inquirers’ and are extremely ‘curious’ about our body systems and the world around us. We are doing a lot of group work and this is helping us learn ‘tolerance’ and how to be more ‘cooperative’ when working with each other. These are good life lessons!

國慶假期返校之后，我們開始了新的探究單元“我們是誰”的學(xué)習(xí)。在這個(gè)單元中，我們將討論并學(xué)習(xí)不同的身體系統(tǒng)、人體的結(jié)構(gòu)、骨骼、肌肉和器官的功能及特點(diǎn)，還會(huì)探討人體系統(tǒng)是如何互相協(xié)作來確保人的生存和身體健康的。我們很喜歡這個(gè)探究單元，因?yàn)槲覀冇袡C(jī)會(huì)做研究、收集資料、討論和利用教學(xué)資源學(xué)習(xí)回答不同的問題。我們甚至將話題引申至更深的內(nèi)容，漸漸地成為“探究者”，對(duì)人體系統(tǒng)和周圍的世界充滿“好奇”。我們完成了很多小組活動(dòng)，這也讓我們學(xué)會(huì)“寬容”和“合作”。通過對(duì)本單元的探究，我們收獲了知識(shí)和人生的道理。

We had an amazing first learning celebration! We want to say ‘Thank you’ to our families that came to share in our learning and have fun inquiring with us. We made presentations using different media platforms such as Keynote and PowerPoint (because learning to use technology is very important) to help share our learning from our first unit on digital media. We also made sure to incorporate our math, language, science and social studies learning in our presentations. We were able to walk them around our classroom to share what resources we use in all our studies. The most interesting part was our new inquiry centre. Our parents really enjoyed this with us. We have amazing resources there to help us learn about our body systems. Our parents got to see for themselves how exciting inquiry can be. We were very pleased with how it all turned out!

本學(xué)年的第一次學(xué)習(xí)成果展非常精彩。感謝前來參與成果展的所有人，我們一起進(jìn)行了有趣的探究。為了給成果展做準(zhǔn)備，我們利用不同的軟件，如Keynote和Powerpoint(學(xué)習(xí)使用科學(xué)技術(shù)是非常重要的)，制作幻燈片，在成果展中針對(duì)第一探究單元做小匯報(bào)。我們還留意在匯報(bào)中加入我們?cè)跀?shù)學(xué)、英語、科學(xué)和社會(huì)研究課上的學(xué)習(xí)內(nèi)容。成果展中，我們帶爸爸媽媽參觀教室，向他們展示了我們的教學(xué)資源。最有趣的部分是我們的新探究角，爸爸媽媽和我們一起學(xué)習(xí)使用教具，利用這些教具加深了對(duì)身體系統(tǒng)的了解。通過成果展，爸爸媽媽也能夠親身體驗(yàn)平時(shí)我們?cè)趯W(xué)校探究學(xué)習(xí)的過程，和我們一起分享激動(dòng)的心情。我們很高興成果展能順利進(jìn)行。
