幼小衔接

【资料图】

在VPA，我们非常注重孩子们从幼儿园到小学的过渡。最近，我们在多所维多利亚幼儿园举办了幼小衔接体验课，为孩子们提供了精彩纷呈的体验机会，还邀请幼儿园的孩子们亲临VPA一年级课堂，体验各个科目。

自从上个月我们一年级的学生和老师去到隔壁的丽林维多利亚幼儿园介绍小学的生活，其他维多利亚幼儿园大班的小朋友们也开始学习学的内容了。走在走廊里，便能看到他们做了许多对于小学的探究。

为了让他们更加直观感受到小学与幼儿园的不同，我们丽林维育维多利亚学校的Ms. Smit、肖老师和林老师特地前往了维多利亚幼儿园，为孩子们分别展示了英语、STEAM和语文课在VPA是如何融合和延续的。

深受孩子和家长喜爱的Ms. Smit带着一本有趣的绘本给孩子们上了一堂生动的英语课，孩子们都听得十分认真。

她还为他们准备了工作纸，幼儿园的孩子们也被她的笑容感染，感受到小学的学习也可以充满乐趣。

语文课上，孩子们踊跃发言，肖老师为他们的词汇量感到欣喜，相信他们一定能在小学继续不断进步，取得更好的成绩。

肖老师还向他们介绍了VPA常用的KWL学习策略，用于帮助学生在学习之前、期间和之后组织和探索他们的知识、问题和学习成果。

KWL代表了三个步骤：K (Know): 学生在开始学习之前列出他们已经知道的题的信息和知识；W (Want): 学生在开始学习之前提出他们想要了解或弄清楚的问题；L (Learned): 学生在学习过程中或学习结束时总结他们学到的新知识和信息。

希望他们不管今后去到哪里，都可以使用这套策略来更好地学习。

林老师的STEAM课更是抓人眼球，她带着Ozobot让孩子们沉浸在科技与创造中，做着自己独特的设计。

丽林维育维多利亚学校作为「小学—初中」九年一贯制优质双语学校，延续着维多利亚幼儿园专业的教学，将IB课程和国家课程相融合，取两者之精髓，带领着孩子们不断探究、不断成长。

本周四，我们还邀请了部分来自丽林维多利亚幼儿园大班的孩子们，让他们走进我们的教室，与一年级哥哥姐姐们一起上课，感受真实的小学课堂。

他们一起做游戏

一起探究

一起做作业

老师也很细心解答

从幼儿园升到小学是很多孩子人生中第一个重大转变，所以小衔接的各项活动看似简单，实则对孩子们来说具有重要的意义。

本周幼小衔接的活动最后，我们还采访了两位一年级班主任，回答一些常见问题，为大家支支招！

Transition from K to P

At VPA, we place great emphasis on the transition from Kindergarten to Primary School. Recently, we organized Transition Experience Workshops in several Victoria Kindergartens, providing exciting opportunities for children to explore and experience. We also invited kindergarten students to visit our Year 1 classrooms at VPA and engage in various subjects.

Since last month, our Year 1 students and teachers visited the neighboring Lilin Victoria Kindergarten to introduce them to the life in primary school. As a result, the other Victoria Kindergarten students have also started learning about primary school. Walking through the corridors, you can see them engaging in various inquiries related to primary school.

In order to provide them with a more tangible experience of the differences between primary school and kindergarten, Ms. Smit, Ms. Xiao, and Ms. Lin from VPA specifically visited Victoria Kindergartens to show how English, STEAM, and Chinese classes are integrated at VPA.

Ms. Smit, who is well-loved by both children and parents, conducted an engaging English class for the children, using an interesting picture book. The children listened attentively and were captivated by the lesson.

She also prepared worksheets for them, and the children from the kindergarten were inspired by her smile, realizing that learning in primary school can also be filled with joy.

During the Chinese class, children actively participated and shared their thoughts. Ms. Xiao was delighted with their vocabulary and believes that they will continue to make progress and achieve even better results in primary school.

Ms. Xiao also introduced the commonly used KWL learning strategy at VPA. This strategy helps students organize and explore their knowledge, questions, and learning outcomes before, during, and after the learning process.

KWL represents three steps: K (Know): Students list the information and knowledge they already know about the topic before starting the learning process. W (Want): Students generate questions they want to know or understand before beginning the learning process. L (Learned): Students summarize the new knowledge and information they have learned during or at the end of the learning process.

Hope that no matter where they go in the future, they will be able to utilize this strategy to enhance their learning

Ms. Lin"s STEAM class is particularly captivating. With the help of Ozobot, she immerses the students in the world of technology and creativity.

As a high-quality bilingual school offering a "Primary School to Middle School" nine-year integrated program, Victoria Park Academy (VPA) builds upon the professional teaching foundation of Victoria Kindergarten. By combining the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum with the national curriculum, VPA embraces the essence of both, guiding students on a journey of continuous inquiry and growth.

This Thursday, we also invited some children from the senior class of Victoria Kindergarten to step into our classrooms and join our first-grade students in real primary school lessons.

They played games together

Did inquiry together

Wrote worksheets together

Teachers were also very patient

Transitioning from kindergarten to primary school is a significant milestone in many children"s lives. Therefore, the various activities related to the transition may seem simple, but they hold great significance for the children.

At the end of this week"s transition activities, we conducted interviews with two first-grade teachers to answer some common questions and provide helpful tips for everyone!
