For kindergarten children, smoothly transitioning into elementary school marks a crucial milestone in their developmental journey. There are noticeable differences in mindset, learning habits, and life skills between the kindergarten and elementary school phases. At ISA Liwan, we emphasize fostering the holistic development of children, providing them with maximum support for their growth.

对于幼儿园的孩子而言，顺利过渡进入小学生活是成长经历中的一个关键里程碑。在思维方式、学习习惯和生活技能等方面，幼儿园和小学阶段的孩子存在着明显的差异。在爱莎荔湾，我们注重培养孩子的全面发展，为他们提供最大程度的成长支持。

Our close communication between the kindergarten and elementary school departments creates favorable conditions for the children's development, aiding them in a seamless transition from early childhood to primary education. Therefore, on February 27th, ISA Liwan organized the Transition Experience Day, aiming to facilitate a smooth adjustment to the new learning phase through collaborative efforts between home and school.

我们的幼儿园部与小学部之间也保持着紧密沟通，为孩子们创造良好的发展条件，助力他们顺利完成幼小阶段的衔接过渡。因此，于2月27日，爱莎荔湾举办了幼小衔接体验日活动，通过家校合作，帮助孩子们顺利迎接新的学习阶段。

On Tuesday the 27th of February our EY4 students and parents had a wonderful time visiting the Primary Years program for their transition day. The aim of this day is to allow the EY4 students to become familiar with the PY staff, building, and schedule.

2月27日周二，荔湾爱莎学校国际幼儿园的EY4大班孩子与家长们，在幼小衔接体验日拜访了小学部，度过了一段美好的时光。衔接体验日的举办，是为了让大班孩子们提早熟悉小学部的老师、设施及其课程安排。

The morning started with a costume parade by the PY staff to welcome the EY4 students and parents into the PY classrooms. 

早上，在小学部老师的趣味“盛装”的热烈欢迎下，大班孩子与家长们进入小学部教室，幼小衔接体验日正式拉开帷幕。

The Grade 1 students showed the younger children where to put their water bottles and coats then it was time for an English Lesson. 

一年级的学生向小朋友们热情展示了教室的布局，比如，在哪里放置水瓶，在哪里收起外套。

Mr. Jeffrey shared a story and then the children all played literacy games together, it was great fun!

接下来就到了英语课的时间，Jeffrey老师分享了一个有趣的故事，孩子们随之一起玩起了英语小游戏，真是趣味满满！

After a fun outdoor play session, the students got to visit the main canteen for a delicious snack…eating here made the students feel very grown up.

在欢笑和嬉戏中度过一段快乐的户外游戏时间后，大班孩子们前往食堂享用美味的点心，这让他们都纷纷感到自己长成了大孩子。

Next up it was time for an art lesson with Miss Tiffany. We reinforced what we already knew about colour names and created some beautiful rainbow collages. 

接下来是Tiffany老师的艺术课。在课上，老师先是强化了孩子们对颜色名称的已知概念，再基于此进行艺术创作，制作美丽的彩虹拼贴画。

Our last lesson of the visit was a Chinese lesson where we shared stories and had a good discussion. 

在体验日的最后一堂课，也就是中文课上，老师与孩子们共同分享有趣的中文故事，并进行了充满奇思妙想的深入讨论。

All too soon it was time to say goodbye and the EY4 students returned to the EY department.

很快就来到了告别的时间，大班孩子们启程返回幼儿园。

Making the correct decision for the next stage of your child’s education is very important.  However, one of the great advantages of choosing the ISA Liwan Primary Years program for our current EY4 students is that it provides a seamless transition from one stage of learning to the next.

如何为您的孩子决定即将到来的新学习阶段在哪里开展，这点十分重要。然而，对于我们的大班孩子来说，选择爱莎荔湾小学部有着一个不可忽略的优势，即它能够为孩子们在学习和生活上进入新的阶段提供平稳过渡的机会。

In Grade 1 the children will build on their previous learning in EY4 without any disruption or changes in curriculum.

在爱莎荔湾小学部一年级，孩子们将在EY4大班的教学基础上继续深入学习，而不会出现课程中断或变化。

Importantly the students already know and love many of the PY teachers and the staff work hard to foster a sense of community across all the departments.

更为重要的是，孩子们已经熟悉、也喜欢小学部的很多老师。与此同时，我们所有的工作人员也在努力建设和促进跨部门的社群感，给孩子们以亲近和温暖。
