At 8:15 a.m., while UISZ is still wrapped in mist, our corridors echo with a cheerful French song. Singing “Bonjour, mes amis” and miming words like “soleil,” “arbre,” and “oiseau,” our PYP students participate in a three-minute “French Wake-Up Ritual”—a micro inquiry lesson designed by our PYP team.
Why sing in French at dawn? The IB PYP emphasizes transdisciplinarity and authentic contexts. French is woven into the unit “How We Express Ourselves”:
-Music and rhythm activate both brain hemispheres and boost phonetic memory.
-Total Physical Response turns abstract vocabulary into body movements.
-Group singing lowers morning anxiety and builds a sense of belonging.
-An everyday “Bonjour” nurtures open-mindedness and international-mindedness.
Micro-lesson design:
-90 seconds of song input—teacher leads, no corrections, protecting students’ risk-taking courage.
-60 seconds of gestures—sky-draw “soleil,” anchoring spelling in muscle memory.
-30 seconds to share—students improvise “Bonjour + name,” practising oral confidence and listening skills.
Continue at home:
-Play the wake-up playlist (video below) as an “emotion alarm clock.”
-Greet “Bonjour, maman!” on the way to school—real-life language use.
-Let children teach parents one new line at bedtime—output enhances retention.
One “Bonjour” opens the world:
-Curiosity for languages
-Learner profile trait: risk-taker
-International-mindedness as a daily habit
In the next chapter, we will deepen our French programme even further—bringing poetry, drama, and interdisciplinary projects into everyday life, so that “Bonjour” becomes the first key children use to unlock the world.
清晨 8:15，校园还被薄雾笼罩，走廊里已回荡起轻快的法语童谣。孩子们一边唱着《Bonjour, mes amis》，一边用手势比划“soleil”“arbre”“oiseau”——这就是 UISZ PYP 团队最新打造的“法语晨间唤醒仪式”，一堂只有三分钟的跨学科微型探究课。
为什么要在清晨唱法语歌？
IB PYP 强调跨学科与真实情境。
法语被巧妙融入“我们如何表达自己”这一单元：
-音乐与节奏激活左右脑，提升语音记忆
-全身反应法（TPR）把抽象词汇变成身体动作
-集体歌唱降低晨间焦虑，增强归属感
-每天一句“Bonjour”培养开放心态与国际情怀
三分钟微课程设计：
-90 秒歌曲输入：教师领唱，不纠正发音，保护孩子敢于尝试的勇气
-60 秒手势操：在空中画出“soleil”，用肌肉记忆拼写
-30 秒分享：学生即兴创编“Bonjour + 名字”，练口语自信与倾听技巧
家庭延伸小贴士：
-把起床歌单（见下方视频）当“情绪闹钟”播放
-上学路上用“Bonjour, maman!”打招呼，把语言融入真实生活
-睡前让孩子教家长一句新歌词——输出式学习效果最佳
一句“Bonjour”，打开的不仅是语言：
-对多元文化的好奇心
-IB 学习者特质：敢于冒险
-把“国际情怀”变成每日习惯
下一段旅程，我们将继续深耕法语课程——把诗歌、戏剧和跨学科项目融入更多生活场景，让“Bonjour”成为孩子探索世界的第一把钥匙。
