美凯思 | “我们是谁”成果展

　　In September, many new students joined MKS. When they first met, they were not familiar with each other. For this reason, teachers chose "Who are we" as the first inquiry theme of the semester. Be yourself, understand others, and help children integrate into MKS as soon as possible through a wealth of activities.

　　老师们每周两次教研对课程内容进行探讨，生成预设课程和教案，课中结合孩子的探究学习情况适时调整，同时每日孩子离园后老师们将会针对教学及生活活动开反思总结会。孩子们经过近8周的探究学习，也有了一定的成果呈现，大家一起来看看吧！

　　Teachers discuss the content of the course twice a week for teaching and research, generate preset courses and teaching plans, and adjust them in a timely manner based on the children's learning situation. At the same time, teachers will reflect on the teaching and life activities every day after the children leave the kindergarten. After nearly 8 weeks of inquiry and learning, the children have achieved certain results. Let's take a look!

　　自画像 Self - Portrait

　　孩子们借助不同的色彩和素材来表达自己的自画像，在他们眼中，贝壳会成为耳朵，彩色木夹子会成为鼻子，通过多元而又丰富探索更加了解自己！

　　Children use different colors and materials to create their self-portraits. In their eyes, shells will become ears, and colorful wooden clips will become noses. They can learn more about themselves through diverse and rich exploration!

　　课程进行中，我们考虑如果将孩子们丰富的肢体动作表达出来，岂不也是一道美丽的风景！孩子们也非常喜欢这个提议，各自都摆出自己最爱的造型,同时将自己喜欢的元素一一呈现在自己的造型上！甚是有趣！

　　During the course, we thought “wouldn’t it make for a beautiful picture if we could express the children’s vibrant body movements”! The children also liked this proposal very much. So, each child did their favourite pose and also depicted their favorite things in their own style! Very interesting!

　　自我介绍 Self-introduction

　　更好的了解自己，也更能完美的呈现自己！当天孩子们非常自信的用英文介绍自己！我们来欣赏一下吧！

　　Know yourself better and present yourself more elegantly! On this day, the children were very confident to introduce themselves in English! Let's enjoy it!

　　我们从家庭成员、家庭关系、家庭结构、家庭成员的责任，这几个维度展开探究。

　　We explored issues to do with family members, family relationships, family structure, and the responsibilities of family members.

　　我们用思维导图的方式将家庭成员以及之间的关系呈现给孩子，结合各自家庭的全家福我们的孩子们将各个家庭成员一一配对！理解各个家庭的关系。

　　We used mind maps to present family members and their relationships to children, and combine their family portraits. Our children paired each family member one by one! This way, they understand the relationships within families.

　　在探究过程中，孩子们经常会讲述他们的家在什么地方，家里有什么……因此我们用大纸箱邀请孩子们做出缩小版的家。

　　In the process of exploration, children often tell where their home is and what is in the home. Therefore, we use a large cardboard box to invite the children to make a smaller version of their home.

　　对孩子们来说，最有挑战性的是对家庭成员责任的探究，他们怎么样了解什么是责任？怎么样知道各自的责任？聪明的我们通过扮演父母的角色去体验做家务、做预算、孝敬老人、赡养子女等责任，回到孩子本身，总结出他们的责任就是做力所能及的事情及懂得感恩。随着主题的深入，孩子们也有很多话想和爸爸妈妈说，我们将其记录下来，在成果展当天播放给大家观看！

　　For children, the most challenging thing is to explore the responsibilities of family members. How do they understand what responsibility is? How do they know their respective responsibilities? Cleverly, we played the role of parents to create the experience of doing housework, budgeting, respect to elders and supporting children. Then, the children return to being themselves and summarize that their responsibility is to do what they can and express gratitude. With the deepening of the theme, the children also have a lot of things they want to say to their parents. We will record them and broadcast them for everyone to watch on the day of the exhibition!

　　孩子们告诉老师，我会唱“听我说谢谢你”，我唱给妈妈听过，因此老师与孩子们沟通，我们一起将这首歌编成舞蹈表演给爸爸妈妈看吧！孩子们兴高采烈的答应并开始排练。成果展当天，妈妈们和老师们都因为孩子们的舞蹈和爱感动落泪！

　　The children told the teacher that they would sing "Listen to me saying thank you". They sang it before to their mothers. After this communication between teachers and children, it was decided that the children would make this song into a dance show for mom and dad! The children happily agreed and began to rehearse. On the day of the exhibition, mothers and teachers were moved to tears because of the children's dance and love!

　　作为引导者，我们想让孩子们更好的理解we are family，我们选择绘本《Swimmy》让孩子通过绘本表演，感受家庭团结终以战胜鲨鱼的情景，用戏剧的方式让孩子们领会到家人的重要性！

　　As a guide, we want the children to better understand what it means to be part of a family. We chose the picture book "Swimmy" to let the children experience the scene of family unity and, in the end, defeat the shark through the picture book, and let the children understand the importance of family through drama.

　　职业探索部分，老师请父母将自己的办公场所录制成视频给孩子们观看，让孩子了解到不同家庭成员的职业。通过职业介绍，孩子对消防员这个职业充满好奇，为进一步探究此职业，孩子们带着“消防员的职业的危险性，家人是如何支持的?”“哪些是城市消防工具，哪些是森林消防工具”等问题，我们和孩子们一起开启了消防局之旅，实地观察消防的工具，服装，生活等！孩子们惊叹成为消防员是特别了不起的事情！

　　In the career exploration part, the teacher asked parents to record their office space and make a video for the children to watch, so that the children could learn about the careers of different family members. When different professions were introduced, the children became curious about firefighters. In order to further explore this profession, the children raised questions such as "What are the dangers faced by firefighters, how can the family support them?" "Which are urban firefighting tools and which are forest firefighting tools?" and other questions. We went on a trip to the fire station with the children to observe the tools, clothing, life, etc. of fire fighting at the place where it really happens! The children marveled at being a firefighter, it’s really an amazing job to have!

　　回到学校，老师问孩子们，通过对父母的职业和已了解的其他职业，我们未来想选择什么职业呢？“时间胶囊”这个话题应运而生！

　　Back at school, the teacher asked the children, what kind of career do they want to choose in the future based on the occupations of their parents and other occupations they already know about? The topic of "time capsule" came up!

　　I want to be a pilot. I want to be an artist.孩子将梦想的职业投射在画纸上，并存入时间胶囊中，挂在许愿树上，见证成长！

　　“I want to be a pilot”. “I want to be an artist”. Children project their dream career on drawing paper and store it in a time capsule, hanging it on the wishing tree so that when they open it in the future they will see how they have grown!

　　最后，孩子与老师们根据成果展的呈现效果展开讨论，选择内容，挑选展板，一起将展览的作品陈列起来。成果展当天，孩子们带领家长参观自己陈列的作品，交流所学内容，老师辅助补充孩子们创作作品的灵感与表达！

　　Finally, the children and the teachers started discussions based on the results of the exhibition. They selected content, selected exhibition boards, and displayed the works of the exhibition together. On the day of the Achievement Exhibition, the children led their parents to visit their exhibited works, exchanged what they had learned, and the teacher assisted in informing about the inspiration and expression of the children's creations!

　　愉快的时间总是短暂，我们在伴随的歌声中圆满结束本次成果展！懂得关爱、勇于尝试、积极探究、及时反思等目标将持续引导着大家一起成长！

　　Pleasant time is always short, and we successfully concluded this achievement exhibition accompanied by singing! Know how to care, have the courage to try, actively explore, reflect in good time and other goals will continue to guide everyone to grow together!
