These tasks highlighted how art connects with geometry, sequencing, and spatial organization, enriching students' understanding of both subjects.

本周的美术课上，学生们探索了对称、空间意识、图案、形状和渐变等数学概念。活动包括设计镜像图案、排列社区场景、设计图案瓷砖、用几何形状制作花瓶以及通过叠加颜色实现逼真的阴影效果。这些任务强调了艺术与几何学、顺序和空间组织之间的联系，丰富了学生对这两个学科的理解。

Music

The music lessons integrated numeracy by exploring rhythms and patterns, enhancing students' counting and sequencing skills. Learning global music introduced diverse beats, reinforcing mathematical concepts. This approach helped students understand the relationship between music and numbers, fostering analytical thinking and cultural appreciation through engaging activities.

音乐课程通过探索节奏和模式来整合数学，提高学生的计数和排序技能。学习全球音乐引入了不同的节拍，强化了数学概念。这种方法帮助学生理解音乐和数字之间的关系，通过参与活动培养分析思维和文化欣赏。

ICT

Numeracy plays a pivotal role in the media creation process throughout Grades 1 to 6. Students learned to create visually appealing digital art using symmetry, coordinates, camera settings, and editing techniques. They also learned to calculate frame rates for animation, manage timelines, and practice sequencing for their video creation. Additionally, they gained knowledge of coding simple dimensions and ratios for responsive web designs. Through these media projects, students not only enhance their ICT proficiency but also recognise numeracy as a practical tool for creativity, precision, and structure in digital storytelling.

算术在1年级到6年级的媒体创作过程中起着关键作用。学生们学会了使用对称、坐标、相机设置和编辑技术来创作视觉上吸引人的数字艺术。他们还学习了计算动画的帧率、管理时间线，以及练习视频创作的排序。此外，他们还学习了为响应式网页设计编写简单的尺寸和比例代码。通过这些媒体项目，学生不仅提高了他们的信息通信技术熟练程度，而且认识到算术是数字故事中创造力、精确度和结构的实用工具。

Grade 2 students studied "《登鹳雀楼》" and "《望庐山瀑布》". By depicting scenes in the ancient poems, students were guided to observe the connection between numbers and natural landscapes, such as the number of levels and distances mentioned in the poems, thereby enhancing their numeracy awareness and integrating mathematical thinking into the appreciation of literature.

Grade 4 students studied "《精卫填海》". Through the story of Jing Wei's persistent spirit in filling the sea, students were inspired to develop a tenacious attitude with their math studies, especially when tackling complex mathematical problems.

Grade 5 students studied "《示儿》《题临安邸》 《己亥杂诗》". These ancient poems allowed students to experience the poets' patriotic sentiments and honed their logical analysis skills by analysing poetic structure and comprehension of lyrical meaning. This complements the numeracy skills in mathematics, helping students to approach problem-solving with greater clarity and organisation.

Grade 6 students studied the text ‘Growing Up in Summer’. This text tells us that summer is the season when all things grow rapidly, and plants have different growth rules in different seasons. The ancient labouring people created many proverbs related to the months based on these laws and their own life experiences. For example, there is a proverb in the text ‘六月六，看谷秀’. It means that the crops bloom around the sixth day of the sixth lunar month. To let students understand the rules of plant growth in different months and explore the secrets of nature, students learned proverbs from January to December of the lunar calendar.

二年级学生学习了《登鹳雀楼》和《望庐山瀑布》，通过古诗中的景象描绘，我们引导学生观察数字与自然景观的联系，如诗中的层数、距离等，将数学思维融入文学欣赏中。

四年级的学生学习了《精卫填海》，通过故事中精卫坚持不懈填海的精神，激励学生在数学学习中培养坚韧不拔的态度，特别是在解决复杂数学问题时。

五年级的学生学习了《示儿》、《题临安邸》和《己亥杂诗》，这些古诗不仅让学生体会到了诗人的爱国情怀，而且在分析诗歌结构和理解诗意的过程中，锻炼了学生的逻辑分析能力，帮助学生在解决问题时更加条理清晰。

六年级的学生学习了课文《夏日里的成长》。这篇课文告诉我们夏天是万物迅速生长的季节，植物在不同的季节有自己的生长规律。古代的劳动人民根据这些规律，结合自己的生活经验，创造出很多和月份有关的谚语。例如，《夏日里的成长》这篇课文中有这样一句谚语——六月六，看谷秀。意思是农历六月初六前后庄稼抽穗开花。为了让学生们了解不同月份植物生长的规律，探索发现大自然的秘密，我们按照数字排序，学习了农历一月到十二月的谚语。
