在佛山霍利斯预备部,我们坚信,学习应该是一段充满乐趣和启迪的探索之旅。而我们最近举办的预备部博物馆展览活动,正完美诠释了这一教育理念。这次展览以别具匠心的方式展示了学生在主题式学习中的成果,生动体现主题式教学是如何将多学科融合到同一个教学主题之中。


欢迎观看回顾视频一睹活动精彩瞬间:



赋予学习以生命力

主题教学的魅力


主题式学习将文学、数学、历史、地理、艺术和科学等学科连结成一个个连贯的主题学习单元,令课堂转化成沉浸式的学习体验。这种学习方法不仅让课程变得更加生动有趣,还帮助学生在学科之间建立深刻联系,从而更加全面理解知识的本质。



举例来说,当学生探索石器时代时,他们可能会在文学课上阅读古老传说故事,在写作课上编写仿古日记并用水彩染色技法令纸张充满历史痕迹,在数学课上计算和分配食物资源,在历史课上制作石器时代时间线,在地理课上研究考古遗址,以及在艺术课上动手设计石器时代的房屋模型、珠宝饰品和远古壁画。



教育研究表明,主题式学习能够显著提高学生对知识的记忆力,同时激发批判性思维。当学习变得有意义且学科之间彼此关联,学生的兴趣和主动性便会随之增强,他们也会更加投入并充满好奇。



石器时代只是我们众多学习主题之一。欢迎继续阅读,跟我们一起探索这次预备部博物馆展览的更多不同的趣味主题。


创意知识的碰撞

主题式教学成果展示


企鹅班和斑马班带领我们穿越时空,展示了哥伦布环球航行、伦敦大火以及人类太空探索历程。



袋鼠班和熊猫班揭开了石器时代的神秘面纱,带来了当时的“文物”展示、岩画创作、房屋模型和石器时代故事。



松树班和水仙花班探索自然界的力量,深入了解地震和火山喷发的科学原理以及这些自然现象对社会的深远影响。



向日葵班和樱花班进入维多利亚时代,感受这个变革时代的优雅与创新,展示了当代发明、艺术、建筑和人们的日常生活情景。



榆树班和莲花班带领我们走进“计算机的历史”,从科技的萌芽到数字时代,再到充满创意的未来发明设想,学生们将目光投向未来20到30年的科技前景。



中文课程的学生探讨了“爱与想象”的主题,用诗歌与故事展现出无尽的创造力与情感表达。



西班牙语课程的学生绚丽地再现了“亡灵节”(Día de los Muertos)的文化魅力,学生们用传统的供桌(ofrendas)、多彩的“骷髅面具”(máscaras de calaveras)、精致的“家庭肖像”(retratos familiares),以及别具匠心的“剪纸装饰”(papel picado)等手工作品庆祝这个独特的节日。



在艺术课上,学生们将所学内容用艺术的形式表达出来,包括精美的自画像,和别致的维多利亚时代房屋群像,展现穿越时空的创意表达。



家长分享


家长们在参观活动后,对展览内容的深度与学生创意的表现给予了高度评价。


一位家长分享道:

关于地震的项目特别有意义。学生不仅学到了科学知识,还掌握了实用的安全应对方法,并深入理解了自然灾害对社会的深远影响。我认为这非常有价值,希望学校未来能够引入更多这样的现实主题。


另一位家长则盛赞学生的精湛手工技艺:

维多利亚时代房屋的设计与制作完全契合我孩子的兴趣,这个项目既培养了孩子的动手能力,又激发了他们的想象力。孩子们在学习中收获满满,并且一致保持着创作热情。


展望未来... 


这次的预备部博物馆展览活动是学生们学习过程和成果的生动展示。主题式课程能够不断激发他们对学习的好奇心和跨学科思维能力,帮助他们在不同学科知识之间架起桥梁,并提升批判性与创造性思维。我们期待见证他们在日后的学习旅程中获得更大的收获!

At LEH Foshan Prep School, we believe that learning should be an inspiring journey of discovery. Our recent Walk-in Museum was a testament to this philosophy, showcasing the innovative ways our Prep School students explore knowledge through thematic learning—an interdisciplinary approach that unites multiple subjects under a unifying theme.


Take a closer look at the event in our recap video:



Bringing Learning to Life 

Through Themes


By weaving subjects such as Literacy, Mathematics, History, Geography, Art, and Science into cohesive themes, thematic learning transforms education into an engaging, immersive experience. This approach doesn’t just make lessons more exciting; it helps students draw connections between subjects, fostering a deeper understanding of the material within a single topic.



For example, students might delve into the Stone Age by reading ancient myths in literacy lessons, writing Stone Age diaries and dyeing them with watercolours to achieve an aged effect, calculating and distributing food in Mathematics, sequencing timelines in History, studying archaeological sites in Geography, and recreating Stone Age habitats, jewellery and cave paintings in Art.



Educational research supports that thematic learning enhances retention and promotes critical thinking skills. When learning feels meaningful and interconnected, students are more engaged, motivated, and curious.



The Stone Age example is just one of the many fascinating topics our students explore. To learn more, please enjoy the highlights of the exhibition below.


A Showcase of

Creativity and Knowledge


Penguin and Zebra classes took us back in time with ‘A Blast from the Past,’ exploring Christopher Columbus’s daring voyages, the dramatic events of the Great Fire of London and everything about Space!



Kangaroo and Panda classes unearthed the mysteries of the Stone Age, presenting artefacts, crave art, habitat models, and stories from this fascinating era.



Pine and Daffodil classes turned their focus to the forces of nature, exploring the science and societal impact of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.



Sunflower and Cherry Blossom classes delved into the elegance and innovation of the Victorian Era, showcasing inventions, art, architecture, and daily life from this transformative time.



Elm and Lotus classes journeyed into ‘The History of Computers,’ tracing the evolution of technology from its earliest days to the digital age and looking into the future creating inventions for 20 to 30 years from now.



Mandarin students explored the themes of ‘Love and Imagination,’ reflecting on creativity in poetry and stories.



Spanish students vibrantly celebrated “Día de los Muertos” (Day of the Dead), honouring this rich cultural festival through the creation of traditional ‘altares’ (altars), vibrant ‘máscaras de calaveras’ (skull masks), detailed ‘retratos familiares’ (family portraits), and intricate ‘papel picado’ (decorative paper banners).



In Art, we tied it all together with breathtaking reflective portraits and intricate Victorian house models, showcasing creativity across time.




Parent Perspectives


Parents attending the event were deeply impressed by the depth and creativity on display.


One parent shared:

The project on earthquakes was particularly meaningful. Students didn’t just learn about the science but also about practical safety responses and the devastating impact of natural disasters. I find this activity immensely valuable and hope the school incorporates more real-world initiatives like this in the future.


Another parent highlighted the remarkable craftsmanship:

The Victorian-era house project was a perfect match for my child’s interests, blending hands-on skill development with imaginative inspiration. It was deeply fulfilling and a continuous source of creativity.


Looking Ahead…


The Walk-in Museum was a wonderful demonstration of how students at LEH Foshan bring their learning to life. As our thematic curriculum continues to inspire students to think beyond traditional subjects—building bridges between ideas and enhancing their capacity for critical and creative thinking—we look forward to seeing where their curiosity leads them next!
