考虑到部分家长的需要，VPA特别开设了冬令营课程，包括体能、拳击、足球、手工、绘画等全英文授课的优质课程，让孩子们在玩中学、学中玩，真正实现寓教于乐。

玩中学、学中玩

寓教于乐

玩中学，也叫在游戏中学习。这个看似简单的概念，实则有着深刻的意义。

它帮助孩子们通过发现来理解周围的世界，让他们在认知、社交、情感和身体上得到发展。

体能训练

游戏的重要性已经被心理学家和科学家研究了一个多世纪。

玩中学的一个重点是孩子们的自主能动性和对事物的控制能力。能动性是指在游戏中的主动性、决策性和自我选择性，这也能让孩子们感受到认可和信任。

足球训练

玩中学究竟能学到什么

当孩子们选择玩的时候，他们不会想“现在我要从这个活动中学到一些东西。” 然而，他们的游戏为所有发展领域都准备很多学习的机会。

课堂游戏

发展和学习是复杂而全面的，但所有发展领域的技能都可以通过游戏来促进，包括体能、认知、社交和情感技能。

共同商议

游戏为重要的社会和情感发展奠定了基础。通过游戏，孩子们学会与他人建立联系，分享、协商和解决冲突，以及学习自我维护的技能、领导能力和团队合作。

拳击训练

此外，游戏满足了孩子们表达想象力、好奇心和创造力的基本需求，这些都驱使着孩子们去探索知识、找到快乐。

手工课

孩子们在玩耍中学习如何:

制定计划并坚持到底

从尝试和错误中学习，运用想象力和解决问题的技能

将数学、科学和运动等概念应用到现实生活中

用逻辑、分析的方式进行推理

与同学沟通，协商不同的观点

发展创造力，探索美学和艺术

从成就中获得满足感

不管是冬令营还是平日的教学，VPA都致力于通过各种有趣的活动让孩子们真正爱上学习，让学习不再枯燥无味。我们希望大家在放假期间也不要忽略了孩子们每天的学习和成长，在玩乐中引导着孩子去思考、探究。

新的学期即将开启，我们期待着见到每一位孩子的笑脸！对于那些很遗憾没能参加冬令营的孩子们，我们夏令营见！

VPA Winter Camp

The winter break is coming to an end. What did the children do in this short month? A group of children chose to stay at VPA and had a meaningful and rewardingweek!

Children wearing the masks they made

In consideration of the needs of some parents, VPA has specially set up winter camp courses, including fitness, boxing, soccer, handicrafts, painting and other high-quality courses taught in English, so that children can learn and play at the same time.

Playful Learning

Learning Through Play

Learning through play, appears to be a simple notion, but has profound meaning.

It helps children make sense of the world around them through discovery, allowing them to develop cognitively, socially, emotionally and physically.

Fitness

The importance of play has been studied by various psychologists and scientists.

An important aspect of play is children’s agency and control over the experience. Agency refers to children’s initiative, decision-making and self-choice in play.

What can we learn from play?

When children choose to play, they are not thinking "Now I am going to learn something from this activity." Yet their play creates powerful learning opportunities across all areas of development.

Playing during the class

Development and learning are complex and holistic, and yet skills across all developmental domains can be encouraged through play, including motor, cognitive and social and emotional skills.

Communicating and negotiating

Through play, children learn to forge connections with others, and to share, negotiate and resolve conflicts, as well as learn self-advocacy skills, leadership and group skills.

Boxing

More generally, play satisfies a basic human need to express imagination, curiosity and creativity.

Doing handicrafts

Children at play learn how to:

Make a plan and follow through

Learn from trial and error, using imagination and problem-solving skills

Apply concepts of quantity, science and movement to real life

Reason in a logical, analytical manner by acting on objects

Communicate with classmates and negotiate

Develop creativity and explore aesthetics and artistry

Derive satisfaction from their own accomplishments

Whether it is winter camp or daily teaching, VPA is committed to make children love learning through a variety of interesting activities, so that learning is no longer boring. We hope that parents will not neglect children"s learning and growth every day during the holiday, and guide children to think and explore in play.

The new semester is about to start, and we are looking forward to seeing the smiling faces of every child! For those who are unfortunately failed to attend the winter camp, see you at summer camp!
