EYFS幼儿园 | First Week Back To School 开学第一周“快乐多巴胺”

新学期伊始，厦门华锐莱普顿幼儿园有条不紊地步入开学第一周。刚步入幼儿园的孩子在教师的耐心引导下，开始适应新的环境，逐步克服“分离焦虑”；中大班老师们帮助孩子们逐步摆脱“假期综合征”，过渡并建立起自主学习状态，迎接本学期更多丰富的探究学习。让我们一起通过镜头回顾一下开学第一周里的“多巴胺”快乐瞬间吧！
At the start of the new semester, Xiamen Chiway-Repton Kindergarten smoothly entered its first week of school. The newly enrolled children, under the patient guidance of the teachers, began to adapt to the new environment, while theK2 and K3 students overcame “holiday syndrome,” transitioning and establishing self-directed learning habits in preparation for a more enriching inquiry-based learning this semester. In this week, the children quickly immersed themselves in collective life. Let’s look back through the lens of the “dopamine” happy moments of the first week of school!

Orientation Day 迎新日

8月30日，随着初秋的轻风拂面和温暖的阳光，一群活泼可爱的小朋友如约而至，迎来了期待已久的幼儿园冒险。
“On 30th August, With the gentle breeze of early autumn and warm sunlight, a group of lively and adorable kids arrived as scheduled, welcoming the long-awaited kindergarten adventure.
迎新日，学生们和家长们一同来到校园，聆听了园长的宣讲，与老师和同学相见，并了解了校园生活的方方面面，为即将开启的新学年做好了充分的准备。
At the Orientation Day which ended last week, students and their parents came to the campus to listen to the  Principals, to meet their teachers and classmates, and to learn about all aspects of campus life, so as to be well-prepared for the start of the new academic year.

Flag raising ceremony升旗仪式

新学期，开启新梦想，迎接新希望。8月31日上午，幼儿园举行了庄严的升旗仪式。迎着朝阳，在雄壮的国歌声中，鲜艳的五星红旗冉冉升起，全场的小朋友和老师们行注目礼。
“In the new semester, we’re opening the doors to new dreams and welcoming fresh hopes. On the morning of  31st August , the kindergarten held a solemn flag-raising ceremony. Facing the morning sun, amidst the majestic national anthem, the bright five-starred red flag rose slowly. All the kids and teachers in the audience stood at attention.”

The First Week of PreK

PreK第一周的点滴：今天，还有这群PreK的宝贝们第一次踏入幼儿园，一同探索这多彩的集体生活。从最初的陌生，到后来的主动参与。吃水果、玩玩具，唱歌、跳舞、玩游戏，老师们向他们介绍了不同的游戏区域和规则，一切进展都非常顺利。尽管第二天下起了小雨，但孩子们的心情仍然愉快，友情在快速升温。在探索的时光里，粘土手印和佩奇猪的故事让学习充满了欢乐。短短的一周时间，我们也见证了这群孩子的成长历程。
“The little moments of the first week in PreK: Today, this group of precious PreK kids took their first steps into kindergarten, embarking on this colourful journey of collective living. From initial strangers to active participants. They ate fruit, played with toys, sang songs, danced, and played games. The teachers introduced them to different play areas and rules, and everything went smoothly. Despite a little rain on the second day, the children remained cheerful, and friendships were quickly forming. During their exploration time, clay handprints and the adventures of Peppa Pig filled their learning with joy. Even in this short week, we’ve already witnessed the growth journey of these children.”

The First Week of K1

走进K1，Minnie老师和小朋友们“玩”成一片。因为年龄偏小，进入新的环境、接触陌生的人，孩子们难免会有些不适应，因此对于K1的孩子们，他们共同面临的“挑战”是熟悉环境、认识身边的新朋友、平稳过度分离焦虑期；还未走进Wendy老师的班级，就已经听到孩子们欢声雀跃的欣喜之音，显然入学的孩子们已经快速适应新环境，Sam老师用孩子们身着服饰颜色为口令，引导孩子们有序站队，出发前往户外运动。
In K1, Teacher Minnie and the children have a great time playing together. Since the kids are quite young, adjusting to a new environment and meeting new people can be a bit challenging for them. For K1 kids, their common challenges include getting familiar with the surroundings, making new friends, and easing into the separation anxiety. Even before entering Teacher’sWendy class, we could hear the excited voices of children, showing that they are  raeady .  Teacher Sam used the colors of their clothes to organize them in a line for outdoor activities.

The First Week of K2

暑假过后，中班的孩子们都长高了许多，也学会了更多更厉害的本领，“我们是幼儿园里的哥哥姐姐了！”这是来自中大班哥哥姐姐的自豪感。回到熟悉又陌生的幼儿园，难掩满心欢喜。熟悉的是身边的同伴、热情的老师、宽敞的操场还有最爱的滑梯；陌生的是变动的班级，教室的环境，这些都告诉他们“我长大了”。充满激情的Chani老师，使用“I am going to use my”句式和灵活的肢体语言，向孩子们介绍并理解幼儿园和班级的规则；Jacky老师则在教孩子如何与同伴、老师进行有效沟通和互动的方式方法。
 “After the summer break, the children in the K2 class have grown taller and learned new skills. They proudly say, ‘We’re the big brothers and sisters in kindergarten now!’ Returning to the familiar yet slightly different kindergarten, they find joy in their friends, enthusiastic teachers, and the playground they love. The changing classes and classroom environment remind them that they’ve grown up.”Teacher chani using the “I am going to use my” sentence structure and flexible body language, introduces and helps children understand the rules of the kindergarten and the classroom. Jacky teacher, on the other hand, teaches children effective ways to communicate and interact with peers and teachers.

The First Week of K3

我们升班啦！从小班到中班，又从中班到大班，新的一学期我们要更加努力，学会更多的本领，要成为弟弟妹妹们的好榜样！我们一同留下成长的足迹。升班充满了孩子们的喜悦和自豪！这一周，我们进行了有趣的UOI探究活动，教师们专业指导着孩子们，帮助他们了解社区的不同部分。通过亲身体验，孩子们不仅深入了解了社区的重要性，还增强了他们的好奇心和求知欲望。在这个新的K3环境中，帮助幼儿形成良好的生活和学习环境是做好幼小衔接的一项最重要工作，我们的教师将继续引导孩子们，为他们带来更多精彩的学习体验！中外教师们将以密切观察为基础，了解每个孩子的不同需求，为大班制定以孩子为中心的阶段性成长目标、教学计划和主题活动，确保孩子们能深度学习为小学生活奠定良好基础。
“We’ve moved up a grade! From K1 to K2, and now fromK2 to K3 . In the new semester, we’re determined to work even harder, learn more skills, and become great role models for our younger siblings. Let’s leave behind the footprints of our growth together. Promotion fills the children with joy and pride!”This week, we had exciting community exploration activities where teachers helped children understand various aspects of the community, fostering their curiosity and desire for knowledge. In our new K3 environment, we’ll continue guiding the children to ensure they establish a strong foundation for their elementary school journey.

成长充满了欢笑，每个时刻都充满了独特之处。与久违的小伙伴们再次相聚，一个温馨的拥抱，带有浓浓的思念；与小伙伴一同玩最喜欢的积木，那是最美好的时光；分享着自己的暑假趣事，连空气都洋溢着快乐的氛围.
“Growth is filled with laughter, and every moment is unique. Reuniting with long-lost friends, warm hugs are filled with deep affection. Playing with favorite building blocks together is the best of times. Sharing summer vacation stories, even the air is filled with joy”

“NO Border Classroom”无边界教室

本学年，我们引入了全新的教室布局理念——无边界教室，让学习不再受年龄和地点的约束。这意味着，小朋友们可以在不同层班级之间展开知识探索之旅，经过短短的一周，我们看到孩子们逐渐适应新的学习环境，擅于观察的孩子们还发现身边有世界文化空间、表演艺术空间、建构乐砌空间、感官思维空间、文化戏剧空间，他们的好奇心和求知欲望在不断增长，通过无边界教室的体验，孩子们将更加深刻地增加国际视野，培养跨文化的理解能力，并锻炼解决问题的能力。相信之后的探索将为他们未来的学习和成长奠定坚实的基础。
In this academic year, we’ve introduced a new classroom concept called the “NO Border Classroom,” where learning isn’t limited by age or location. After just one week, we’ve seen children gradually adapting to this innovative learning environment. Some observant kids have even discovered various spaces for world cultures, performing arts, construction play, sensory thinking, and cultural drama around them. Their curiosity and thirst for knowledge are growing. Through the NO Border Classroom experience, children will develop a deeper international perspective, foster cross-cultural understanding, and enhance problem-solving skills, setting a solid foundation for their future learning and growth.

在厦门华锐莱普顿幼儿园，我们高度重视每个学生的个人目标和成长，关注每个学生的个性化学习需求。新学年伊始，我们充满信心地期待着孩子们在幼儿园内积极探究世界，努力追求卓越，为这个世界带来积极的改变。感谢您一直以来的支持，让我们一起“成为一个很哇塞的人”！玩出未来，思辩世界！希望每个孩子都能在厦门华锐莱普顿幼儿园无边界地自由探索，幸福长大。
At Xiamen Chiway-Repton Kindergarten, we highly prioritize each student’s individual goals and growth, paying close attention to their personalized learning needs. As the new academic year begins, we are filled with confidence and eagerly anticipate the children actively exploring the world within our kindergarten, striving for excellence, and making positive changes in the world. Let’s play our way into the future and engage in thoughtful discussions about the world!
