 Unit of Inquiry 世外小学融合部有一门非常吸引人的课程叫做UOI——Unit of Inquiry，指“超学科主题探究单元”。 IB-PYP项目确定了6个超学科主题，分别是：我们是谁、我们身处什么时空、我们如何表达自己、世界如何运作、我们如何组织自己、共享地球。 融合部的学生最喜欢的课程就是UOI了，每一个过程的学习都具有趣味性、相关性、挑战性和重要性。在探究过程中，根据需要，学校还会组织学生外出进行深入探究。 让我们一起来分享开学的第一个月中，各年级UOI单元里的一些有趣的小活动吧！ YEAR 1 How we organize ourselves 我们如何组织自己 Central Idea 中心思想 Schools have procedures that help us learn and play. 学校有各种秩序帮助我们学习和玩耍。   1 Scavenger Hunt：Walk around the school and find different parts of the school. 校园寻宝：通过线索在校园里找到不同教室和地方。   2 Matching the role with place：Take pictures of teachers and staff (librarian, chef, nurse, guards, principals, and the accountant) and match them with locations around school. 老师和他们的工作教室配对：把老师的照片和教室的照片配对。   3 Difference between school and kindergarten：Use Venn Diagram to show differences and similarities between the two systems. 学校和幼儿园的不同之处：用Venn Diagram比较学校和幼儿园的不同点和相同点。   4 Classroom Items: Student label items around the classrooms. 为教室里的不同物品贴上标签。 YEAR 2 Who we are 我们是谁 Central Idea 中心思想 The human body has different systems that assist to function properly. 人体不同的系统让彼此更好地运转。  1 Look! This is my lung, my brain, my stomach, my large intestine and small intestine! They are so real! 看！这是我的肺、脑袋、胃、大肠和小肠！它们都好像啊！  2 We use our tongues to taste different food. So sour! What is it?

They hide everywhere in our body. Let’s explore together! 你知道人类有哪八种多元智能吗？它们藏在你的身体各个角落，让我们一起来瞧瞧，它们都帮助我们发展了哪些技能吧！ 2 Based on the preliminary understanding of Multiple Intelligences, we do the sorting out games about the multiple intelligences definitions. And we also give each intelligence a brief definition with our own simple words. 有了对“多元智能”的初步了解，我们小组成员在课堂上一起做了概念配对的游戏，为每个多元智能找到了自己的定义小伙伴。我们还根据自己的理解，用自己简单的语言一一解释了这些多元智能呢！ 3 Everyone has multiple intelligences, then how can you improve them? We are given an A3 sketchbook and make a ‘Who We Are’ journal. When we record every day, we have a deeper understanding of who we are, what are our advantages and disadvantages. We know ourselves better ! 既然我们每个人都有多元智能，那么我自己的多元智能是如何发展的呢？这一天，老师给了我们每个人一本Who We Are Journal，从今天开始我们要更深入地思考、分析我们自己了。多元智能是什么？我是谁？我的优势和弱点各是什么？我的目标是什么？在这本完全自制的小书中你都能找到。多亏了它，我更了解我自己了！ 4 We also do the research on famous people. We learn the stories about them and think about what their intelligences are. The researches are on our UOI wall, come and have a look at them! 如果你以为这个单元我们只是探索自己的多元智能，那你就错啦！通过探索自己的多元智能，我们发现每个人都有不止一个优势智能，那么那些红极一时的著名人物又有哪些优势智能呢？我们把他们放在了分类大海报上，如果你也感兴趣，就来我们的教室UOI墙看看吧！ 5 Exploring our intelligences is not only in the class, but also outside. We went to a field trip in Shanghai Indoor Stadium to experience rock climbing, it was so cool to find out our kinesthetic intelligence when we tried our best to reach the top! 多元智能的探索绝对不仅仅局限在教室中。9月26日，我们在老师的陪伴下来到了上海体育馆的攀岩中心，在挑战自我的过程中发掘了自己的运动潜能！别看我们才三年级，我们的kinesthetic intelligence可是不容小觑的哦！ YEAR 4 Who we are 我们是谁 Central Idea 中心思想 Appreciating, respecting and nurturing our values help us to understand who we are. 懂得欣赏、尊重别人的价值观点，不断培养并形成自己的价值观有助于我们成长为更好的自己。 1 Our first unit of inquiry is about “Values”.
