Children absolutely love blowing pinwheels! 

看！孩子们真的是很喜欢吹风车！ 

吹风车的男孩

Imagine this: children blowing pinwheels, filled with colorful animals engaged in different actions. Exciting, isn’t it?

想象一下：孩子们吹动着风车，那风车上画的动物五彩斑斓，形态各异。这样的画面是不是很令人兴奋呢？

Last week, we brought this idea to life! Through observing animal pictures and writing descriptive sentences about their ongoing actions on the pinwheels, students can enhance their language skills in a fun and creative way.

上周，我们将这个想法付诸实践！孩子们通过观察动物图片，然后在风车上写下关于它们正在进行的动作的描述性句子。这样既有趣而富有创意的活动，不但能提升孩子们的语言能力，又能让他们体验到学习的乐趣，激发创新思维。

Sentence Construction Challenge 

造句挑战

During the skill check, students will be given pictures of animals engaged in various activities. Their task will be to construct two sentences using the Present Continuous tense to describe what the animals are doing and not doing at that moment. This will test their grammar skills as well as develop their ability to construct sentences with accuracy.

在这一环节，老师会给孩子们会提供正在进行各种活动的动物图片。他们的任务是用两个句子分别描述出动物们正在做什么以及没有做什么，这样就要用到“现在进行时”这一知识点。在书写的过程中，老师将检测到他们的语法运用能力和精确组织语言的能力。

Collaborative Creativity

合作创新

Once the students have completed their sentences individually, they will be grouped up to create a pinwheel. As they work together, they will have the opportunity to discuss their sentences, exchange ideas, and practice speaking. This collaboration not only strengthens their teamwork and communication skills but also promotes a sense of community and inclusivity within the classroom.

在完成这些句子练习后，孩子们将被分到各个小组，每个小组将共同制作一个风车。他们会讨论所写的句子内容，交流不同的想法，进行互动式的口语表达。在这个过程中，孩子们们的团队协作及沟通能力均会得到提高，并在课堂上营造出积极向上的学习氛围。

Boost Confidence Through Speaking

自信表达

To further boost their speaking skills, each group will demonstrate their crafts in front of the class. This presentation aims to provide students with a platform to express themselves confidently, articulate their thoughts, and practice public speaking. This activity allows students to gain valuable feedback from their peers, fostering a supportive environment that encourages growth and self-confidence.

为了进一步提高他们的口语表达能力，每个小组需要在全班同学面前展示他们的作品。他们勇敢、自信地表达自己的观点，并从观众中获得热烈的掌声与反馈，从而互相鼓励，共同成长。

自信分享

This Skills Check activity not only consolidates the children's knowledge but also ensures they have fun while doing it. It serves as a review to prepare them for future language practice.

Skills Check的形式不但巩固了学生们所学的知识，同时也让他们在参与的整个过程中感受到快乐。这样的复习方式也帮助大家为下一步的学习做好准备。继续加油吧，三年级的孩子们！
