7月3号学校为我们体育组提供了spark游戏课程的培训机会。
上午负责课程培训的Lily老师为我们介绍了spark课程的源来和组成部分。该课程由教材，学习卡，任务卡，以及配套器材组成。spark课程为4-12岁年龄段的儿童提供了体能，身体认知，空间认知，运动技能等多方面的教学方法，真正从兴趣出发，让学生尽可能多的接触不同的运动项目。并在不同的项目里面渗透了德育美育以及社会性建立。On July 3rd, the PE Group had the SPARK curriculum training at school. In the morning, Lily introduced the source and the components of thecurriculum. It consists of teaching materials, learning cards, mission cards and relevant equipment. The SPARK Curriculum catersfor children from 4-12 years old. It provides teaching methods to develop physical abilities, a recognition of what your body can do, and a sense of space. It also develops many sports skills and arouses the students interests in improving physically. It also focuses on moral education, art education and social studies.
下午Lily老师带领我们参观spark课程的配套器材，并让我们从中挑选出六个器材进行培训。我们刻意找了陌生的器材和极为熟悉的器材各三种。结果发现这个课程不单器材新颖有趣，就连普通的器材也可以玩出很多花样，就比如海绵制成的骰子我们可以用来分组，又可以作为体能游戏的计数工具，还可以增加组别之间PK的乐趣等等，两颗普通的骰子就可以贯穿整节课，而且室内课和室外课都适用。介绍完器材后融合部的Sophia老师作为该课程的先行者，跟我们介绍了spark课程在融合部的开展情况和实施效果，受益匪浅。
In the afternoon, Lily let us experienceand use the SPARK Equipment. She let us pick six pieces of equipment so we could be familiar with it and why it is used. We deliberately chose unusual but interesting equipment. We found though that any equipment we use can have various functions. For example, we used the sponge dice to group the people. We also use it to be the counting tool for body strength. Two normal dices could go through the whole lesson. It caters for indoor or outdoor lessons. We experienced using the equipment and had a lot of fun.
最后Lily老师用了一个棒球游戏结束了今天的培训，让我们了解棒球规则的同时，也让我知道不同的运动项目渗透了哪些德育美育，怎么样在运动训练中建立完美的人格。
After introducing the equipment, PYP teacher, Sophia introduced the implementation and results of Spark Curriculum in PYP Section as she had been using it with her classes already. It was beneficial to everyone. Finally Lily used a baseball game as an ending to the training. It informed us about the rules of baseball. It also helped us realise that sport can help us build teamwork and our own personalities.
