2022年暑期沉浸式中文夏令营
Summer Immersion Mandarin Camp
问答 FAQ
1) 什么孩子适合参加中文营 Who can attend?
天地沉浸式中文夏令营（以下称“中文营”）是针对目前已在学前班至六年级的孩子开办的。不管是不是已经在天地中文学校上课，都可以报名参加。
Horizon Mandarin Immersion Camp (‘the Camp’) is open to all children currently in Reception to Year 6. Whether your child is already at Horizon Mandarin School’s Saturday classes or not, all is welcome to join.
2) 中文营的活动安排 What does the Camp offer?
中文营在两周内围绕趣味主题、用中文展开活动，提高孩子的中文水平和文化认知。我们将进行主题探索和学习、通过绘本故事学习中文、学唱中文歌、用中文做传统游戏、做手工，等等。每天上午有两个课时（1节趣味中文课、1节手工美术课），下午有两个课时（1节中文故事/歌曲课、1节团队游戏课）。差异化教学，不同年龄和能力的学生获得不同的挑战。
In the two weeks, we will use Mandarin to explore fun themes, to learn Mandarin through stories, songs, traditional games, art & crafts etc. There are two sessions in the morning (1 fun Mandarin lesson & 1 art and craft session), and two sessions in the afternoon (1 Mandarin through Story/Song lesson & 1 team Games session). We use differentiated teaching methods, to cater for children of different ages and abilities.
3) 时间和地点 Dates, hours and the venue
中文营将于7月25日至8月5日展开，从周一到周五的两周。每天的时间段是9:00到15：30（09:00到09:30是报到和自由活动时间），分成四个一小时左右的课时，课时之间有15分钟休息。午饭时间或是在学校大草坪上野餐，或是在室内用餐。我们使用Hoe Bridge School (GU22 8JE) 的教室和设施。
The Camp hours are between 09:00 and 15:30 (09:00-09:30 is drop off and free play period). The day will be organised into a series of sessions of approximately one hour each, with 15 minutes break in between. Lunch break will be a picnic on the school meadow or indoor. We use classrooms and other facilities of Hoe Bridge School (GU22 8JE).
4) 如果我的孩子听不懂中文，能不能参加？ If my child does not understand much Mandarin, can he/she join too?
欢迎不同语言背景的孩子参加，能听懂中文或至少一些中文的孩子比较能够受益。但是，中文营时间比平常周六中文课时间充裕，并且有助教帮忙，对于听不懂中文的孩子，我们会解释，让孩子明白活动内容，希望每个孩子都能有所收获。
We welcome children of all language backgrounds. Children who understand Mandarin or some of it will benefit from the Camp most. However, each Camp Day lasts longer than our usual term time Saturday lessons and teaching assistants will help explain in case the child does not understand what is going on. We hope every child would benefit from the Camp.
