During this challenging period, online learning at MIS proceeds continuously. Let’s take a look at the learning of MIS students.

Students have actively participated in online learning. To the surprise and delight of teachers, the Early Years and Year 1 students who didn’t need to attend also participated in online courses.

Students learned the common English expressions of various fruits and vegetables, use of tenses, recognition of different graphics, sequencing of numbers, and the fun challenge that combines color and mathematical calculation.

In addition to academics, Ms. Neil, Head of Juniors, also taught the students how to express properly and clearly what they had learnt, and what they could achieve. Parents can ask children what they have learnt, and what obstacles they have encountered in learning in the same way.

What is a K S U?
At MIS Juniors, we use the following terminology to explain the lesson's learning objective and outcome:

K (Knowledge) - "I know..."
S (Skills) - "I can..."
U (Understanding) - "I understand..."

Our students are encouraged to reflect and make a self-assessment against each lesson's K S U using a traffic light system:

Green - "I can do this!"
Yellow - "I'm getting there"
Red - "I need help"

This process ensures that our students are actively involved in their learning and that our teachers are providing the appropriate level of challenge and support in each lesson.

Parents can support at home, during online learning, by discussing the K S U with your child, asking him/her to share their reflections about their learning with you and reminding them to complete the traffic light system at the top of their worksheet.

Some useful questions that parents can ask are:

-What skill(s) have you practised in this lesson?
-What do you now understand about....?
-What new knowledge have you learnt in this lesson?
-How do you know that you are a green/yellow/red learner today?

The class teachers have nominated some students that have been consistently Ay Ready, Ay Respectful and Ay Safe during their online lessons this week:

Early Years: Yiyi
Y1BWI - Emilia & Anna
Y2LCH - Mia
Y3DMC - Alice
Y4GAL - Isla
Y5PMC - Tidus
Y5MJA - Albert, Tristan, Chloe & Grace
Y6ABR - Chloe
Y6AES - Junlan

Online Sports

MIS teachers organized online PE classes to ensure that physical exercise was not left behind besides academics. The theme of sports this week was yoga. Andrew, PE Teacher, guided students to learn and practice following the online classes. And the online classes were followed by live Q&A where the teacher briefly sorted out difficult and key points for children and assigned targeted exercises.

Ms. Sabrina Neil, Head of Juniors, provided detailed guidance for parents to get their children moving.

Parent Forum

Recently MIS has held two online parent forums, where Mr. Adam Harbinson, Deputy Head of Academic, introduced the Assessment and Homework at MIS in detail, and answered all parents’ questions carefully after the presentation. The forum video can also be played back for parents who were unable to attend.

In another online parent forum, Adam introduced three aspects. The first point is the education system of MIS to cultivate children's communication and teamwork skills, thereby improving their leadership and creative problem-solving and critical thinking skills, so as to finally prepare the children to apply to the ideal university.

The second point is learning visualization. In the class of MIS, we not only pay attention to students’ problem-solving ability, but also want to understand their thinking process and let them explain clearly, so that children can gain a better learning ability in this process.

The last point is the student's participation in learning. In the classroom, various abilities can be exercised, such as communication and collaboration, writing ability and improving English proficiency.

在这段充满挑战的时期， 曼校云端学习持续进行中，一起来看一看曼校学子的学习掠影。

小朋友们积极参加网课学习，令老师惊讶和开心的是，无需上网课的学前班以及一年级的同学们也参与了线上的课程。

同学们学习了各种水果蔬菜的常用英文表达，时态的使用，认识各种的图形，对数字进行排序，以及把颜色和数字计算结合在一起的趣味挑战。

除了日常学术之外，小学校长Neil也教导学生们如何正确直观地表达自己学到了什么，学会了什么，能够取得什么效果。同时，家长们也可以用相同的方法，去询问小朋友学到的知识，以及学习中碰到了什么阻碍。

什么是K S U？

在曼校小学部，我们用以下术语来阐释课程学习的目标和结果：

K（知识）——“我知道……”

S（技能）——“我可以……”

U（理解）——“我懂得……”

我们鼓励学生按照K S U原则对每节课进行反思和自我评估，并且用红绿灯体系进行标记。

绿灯——“我能做到！”

黄灯——“我正在取得进步”

红灯——“我需要帮助”

我们用这个方法确保学生们积极参与课程学习，并确保每节课老师都为学生提供适合其水平的学习内容和支持。

网课期间，家长可以在家为孩子提供支持：与您的孩子讨论K S U，让孩子与您分享他/她对学习的反思，并提醒孩子完成练习题顶部的红绿灯标记。

家长可以问问孩子以下问题：

——你在这节课上练习了什么技能？

——你现在对……了解什么？

——这节课你学到了什么新知识？

——你怎么知道自己今天是一个绿灯/黄灯/红灯学习者？

小学部本周的“明日之星”由老师们评选出来，他们均在线上学习中展现了曼校的精神。

线上运动

曼校教师们组织了线上体育课，保证文化课学习之外体育锻炼也不落下。这周体育组的主题为瑜伽课，体育教师Andrew一方面让孩子们跟随空中课堂进行学习和跟练；另一方面，空中课堂结束后会进行线上直播答疑，将动作内容重难点为孩子们简单梳理，并布置针对性的练习。

小学校长Sabrina为家长提供了详细的指引，让孩子们更好的动起来。

家长论坛

近期曼校举行了两场线上家长论坛，中学学术部负责人Adam详细介绍了曼校的测评体系与作业布置计划，细心的回答了所有家长的问题，并针对一些家长的问题进行了会后的一对一解答。线上论坛的录像也可以回放以供其他无法参会的家长们观看。

在另一场线上家长论坛中，Adam介绍了三个方面，第一点是曼校培养孩子们沟通和团队协作能力的教育体系，进而提升他们的领导力以及创造性解决问题和批判思维的能力，从而最终为孩子们申请理想的大学做足准备。

第二点是学习可视化，在曼校的课堂里，我们不仅仅关注学生解决问题的能力，同时更多的想要了解他们思维的过程，并让他们清楚解释，让孩子们在这个过程中获得一个更好的学习能力。

最后一点是学生的学习参与度，在课堂中，可以锻炼各种能力，例如沟通协作、写作能力以及提高英文水平。
