In Miss Jo Ann’s PYP Year 3 class this week students were engaged in learning in action activities. They used manipulation to solve maths statements. They also devised mental calculation strategies to solve mathematical problems for addition and subtraction. In another project with the theme of endangered species, they used a sorting activity to learn about habitats. Students worked together to discuss their knowledge of animals and their habitats.
本周，在小學部3年級Jo Ann老師的課堂上，學生們參與了在行動中學習的課程活動。他們不但運用軟體和運算工具來解決數學問題。而且設計各種心算技巧以達到加減法的快速運算。在另一個以瀕危物種為主題的學習中，他們利用分類活動來了解棲息地。學生們一起討論了關於動物及其棲息地的知識。
In Mr John’s MYP Year 7 Design class students have begun their journey into exploring Product Design. They are up-skilling in the use of power tools and manipulation of resistance materials.

This last week in boarding has been frenetic as our programmes launched back into full swing after the mid-term break. We are now into the last weeks of our first INSPIREd cycle and our boarders are working hard in the many varied activities on offer: karaoke, singing, dance, boxing and the many scheduled sports. Saturday past saw our 7-dayers trek to the Lost City of D for tenpin R&R and a light repast at one of the many restaurants available. We were also fortunate this last week to have the Australian students from Parkdale Secondary School and University of Melbourne students participate in our INSPIREd Programme, both at secondary and primary levels. It has been inspiring to see the level of commitment and joy gained by all in these activities. And so we beat on against the currents of adversity and change, confident that all Dragonites work to become better versions of themselves.
假期後，宿舍的啟發課程項目已全面開展，上周可謂是狂熱的一周。我們現在進入了第一輪啟發課程最後幾周，我校的住宿生正在積極地參與各項既定的活動：卡拉ok、唱歌舞蹈、拳擊等等。上周六，我校的7天住宿生們在老師的帶領下前往了迷失之城東莞，並在R&R 甜品店以及其他餐廳中品嘗了小吃。上周，我們還有幸邀請到了澳大利亞帕克代爾中學和墨爾本大學的研究生參加我校小學部和中學部的啟發課程教育課程。看到所有人在這些活動中獲得成就感和歡樂實在是件令人欣慰的事情。大家迎接挑戰不懼困難，我們相信所有住宿生都會努力成為最好的自己。
As you can see the pace never slackens as students conscientiously tackle their academic, arts and sports activities in a holistic way that prepares them for a bright future.
正如您所看到的，學生們從未停下他們的腳步，在學習上他們努力拼搏，同時，他們積極地參與各項藝術和體育活動，全面均衡發展為光明的未來打下堅實的基礎。
