海龟班的小小行星探测家们
Planet Explorers in Turtle Class
太空梦
Planet
在常州威雅，小学部海龟班的孩子们都怀揣着一个太空梦。他们想要探索太空中的各个行星。在我们的科学课上，他们都化身成小小探测家，以分小组的形式各自对他们感兴趣的行星进行了研究。
The primary students in turtle class have all been dreaming about space. They want to explore the planets in space. So in our Science class, they all became small explorers and studied the planets they were interested in the solar system as groups.
他们在课堂上快速地跟自己志趣相投的小伙伴组队，开始了他们的行星探寻之旅。每个组都有一台电脑，用来帮助他们搜索信息。为了更可视化地实现信息共享，“小海龟”们尝试着在海报上运用图片、文字甚至是符号的元素进行制作。过程中，孩子们一次又一次被浩瀚的行星所折服，不禁发出感叹：“哇，这些行星好美，好壮观，我好想去。”
They quickly teamed up with their like-minded partners in class and began their journey of planet exploration. Each group had a computer to help them search for information. In order to share the information they have learned with everyone, the little turtles made posters to share with the class. To record all kinds of information, some of them used pictures, some used words, some used symbols.... In the process of making their posters, many of the children were excited about the different planets they were researching: “Wow, these planets are so beautiful and spectacular. I really want to go.”
“小海龟”们各有所长，有的擅长画画，有的擅长信息搜集，有的擅长书写，他们每个人都为最终的作品倾注了自己的心血。他们的付出与团队合作精神深深感染着老师们。
They all worked very well together in groups. Everyone had their own specialty, some were good at painting, some were good at information searching and writing. Everyone threw themselves into their work. I was impressed by their input and teamwork spirit.
他们制作的海报非常精美，栩栩如生地展现了他们探寻的行星。
Their posters were all beautifully made. It vividly showed the planet they were exploring.
完成了海报制作的任务后，他们还得接受最后一项挑战——以小组的形式展示各自探索的行星。为了呈现最好的结果，“小海龟”们私下里练习了一遍又一遍。从最初的紧张不安，到最后的侃侃而谈，他们不断挑战自我，绘声绘色地介绍着各自探索的行星。
After the poster was completed, they had a final challenge, making a presentation in the form of a group to introduce their planet to everyone. In order to better show their planet, they practiced again and again in the group. After initial nervousness, all the turtles managed to build up the confidence to talk in front of the class about their chosen planet.
