上一期，孩子们探寻“你”与“我”之间的联系
这种联系让彼此更加熟悉，随着感情不断升温，大家的探索欲也愈发强烈
于是新的探究单元“我们身处什么时空”就此展开。
Last time, we “explored” the relationship between “you” and “me”,

这一期，宝贝们会从哪些方面去了解和深入呢？

“Happy Birthday to you~Happy Birthday to you~”
幸福的生日会拉开了K1组探索的序幕。
The classes of K1 level started exploration journey by their birthday parties.
“咦~为什么每个人过生日的时间不一样？”
“Why the date of my birthday is different from other's?”
“是呀，那么多，怎么才能记住呢?”
“It’s true. How can I remember all of the dates?”
“妈妈说，在日历上做标记就可以呀！”
“My mother once said to me that we could mark on a calendar.”
……
噢？日历？真是个好办法！还等什么？在日历上标出我们的生日吧！
Oh,calendar.It's a good way.I can't wait to mark the date of my birthday on the calendar.
“我是4月份出生的，你呢？”

还有像我一样喜欢奔跑的秒针宝宝
We know the family of clock. The grandfather named hour hand walks very slowly. The father named minute hand is fond of strolling.
The baby named second hand likes running.

受地域和不同文化的影响，各地风土人情与认知也会不同
在这个探究单元里，K3的孩子探究方向会是怎样的？
Influenced by regions and different cultures, there will be some differences in terms of local customs and cognition.
As for this inquiry unit, what our K3 level students will explore?
从了解自己的家庭住址开始
我们在电子地图上找到了自己的家，可要怎样把这个信息准确地告诉好朋友呢？
We started from our family's addresses.
We found our houses in a digital map. How can we let our friends know it exactly?
在我们国家，家庭住址是按照省、市、区（县）、街道、小区、门牌号的顺序来书写的
是由大到小的排列，可在国外，英文地址书写却是相反的哦！
In our country,the address should be written in the order of province, city, district (county), street, community and house number.
It is from large extent to small extent. But in foreign countries, the address is written in a different way!
不同的地方，方位也不一样，那指南针会帮助我们找到正确的方向吗？
When the place changes, the direction will also get changed. Will the compass help us find the right direction?
你知道吗？除了指南针，我们还可以记住太阳升起的方向
那边是东方，日落的方向是西方
Do you know? Apart from the compass, we can know the direction by the sun. We should remember that the sun rises in the East and sets in the West.
孩子们在空间的探索中，对时间也产生了兴趣。
The exploration of space aroused our children’s interest towards time.
“老师，我们现在是白天，那地球的另一边就是晚上，对吗？
那里的小朋友现在是在睡觉吗？”
“Teacher, we are in the daytime now, and the other side of the earth is at night, right?
Are the children there sleeping now? "
通过阅读、查询资料，研究和比对，我们发现了时差！
Through reading, querying, researching and comparing, we found the time difference.
“噢！我知道了，我在武汉吃午饭的时候，美国纽约的小朋友正在睡觉。”
"Oh! I see. When I have lunch in Wuhan, children in New York are sleeping."
那就在地球仪上看看这些与我们有时差的国家都在哪里吧！
Let's find where these countries with time difference are on the globe!
从外太空上看地球，是什么样子的呢？
How does the earth look like from the space?
我们太爱这颗美丽的蓝色星球啦！你呢?
We love this beautiful blue planet so much! How about you?
