為什麼地球有日夜和四季？
外太空長什麼樣子？
銀河系又是什麼？
火星為什麼是紅色的？
土星為什麼帶著游泳圈？
快來新英才幼兒園，
小朋友們告訴你這些宇宙的奧秘！
Why does the earth have days and nights？
Why does the earth rotate and we have four seasons？
What does outer space look like？
What is the galaxy？
Why is Mars red？
Why does Saturn have a ring？
Come to New Talent Kindergarten， the children will tell you
the secrets of the universe！
探索初期，新英才幼兒園還為小朋友們組織了豐富的外出活動：參觀天文館、民航博物館等等。興趣是最好的老師，探索也需要一個充滿奇妙的開始。
In the early stage of exploration， New Talent Kindergarten also organized various outdoor activities for children： visiting planetarium， civil aviation Museum and so on． Interest is the best teacher， and exploration also needs a wonderful beginning．
小朋友們的興趣從探究太陽開始
看荔枝班小朋友一起玩影子遊戲：他們説，太陽很聰明，總會知道你是誰！
The children’s interests and galaxy topic began with exploring the sun， the children from Lychee class learnt about， playing shadow games together． The children learnt a lot and expressed whilst playing the game that “ the sun is very clever， it always knows where you are！”
HAPPY TIME
小朋友們做了一次假想：
如果今天太陽不見了？會發生什麼事情呢？
桔子班小朋友帶你感受無太陽的體驗：
外面黑漆漆一片，天氣會變冷，人類都無法出去活動，動植物也無法生存。
The children in Orange class used their imagination to explore the process of the sun if it disappeared in the universe．
The children expressed 2 questions and these are：
What happened if the sun disappeared？ What did happen to the galaxy？
The children from Orange class will describe what happened to the sun when it had gone．
Just imagine， It’s dark outside， the weather will get colder and colder， people can’t go outside and plants and animals can’t live， without the sun．
TO THE SUN
桃桃班小朋友得出結論：
太陽儘管很熱，但對我們生命體很重要。
離我們最近的月球，真是一個從古至今的迷，但是在小朋友們的眼裏月球被標誌成“撞擊坑”、“環形山”、“月海”、“月陸”……
The children from Peach class used their ideas and said：
“Although the sun is very hot， it is very important for our lives’． They also said．．．
“The moon is the planet closest to us， which is a mystery from ancient times， but in the eyes of children they see the moon is marked as ” craters”， ”holes， ”the moon sea”， and ”the moon land．．．．．．”
鳳梨班小朋友們在月球上設計的新型房子和鳳梨班的月球基地。小朋友們真有才！
The children from Pineapple class designed a new house on the moon and the moon base． The children are so talented！
聽聽芒果班小朋友們的偉大理想：
長大後，我想要成為中國第一位登陸月球的宇航員，乘坐嫦娥20號宇宙飛船登陸月球，我要在月海那裏蓋一所學校，讓所有的宇航員都來學習，我要在哥白尼坑那裏建一個月球村，歡迎你們來入住哦！
那麼怎樣去月球呢？宇航員需要做些什麼？
Let’s listen to the great ideas from the children in Mango class：
“When I grow up， I want to be an astronaut and land on the moon， in the Chang ’e 20 spacecraft． I want to build a school on the moon sea， where all the astronauts can come to study， at the same time I want to build a moon village in the Copernicus crater． I welcome you to join！”
“How can we get to the moon？ What do astronauts need to prepare to go to the moon？”
聽聽西瓜班宇航員們來自太空的介紹：
太空中由於地球引力很小，宇航員們飄浮在太空艙中。一切吃喝拉撒睡都要在無引力的條件下。
這裡的一個小插曲：小朋友們第一次認為便便是很嚴肅的問題，沒有一個人笑，都在認真想解決太空便便的辦法。
Listen to the “astronauts” from the Watermelon class：
“In outer space， astronauts float in a capsule because the gravity is lower than on earth． Eating， drinking， sleeping even pooping has to be done in the absence of gravity． When we speak of the word “poop”， the kids take a very serious attitude and think about how to deal with poop in space， and were trying to figure out some methods”．
想對太陽系家族有更深入的了解，請到大四班，他們已經詳細地研究了太陽系家族的每一位成員的特點，併為每個星球都起了獨特的名字……
“If you want to know more about the solar system family， please come to Class Four． The kids have studied the characteristics of each member of the solar system in detail and came up with some unique names for each planet．．．”
大二班小朋友發明瞭各式的探測器：“洞察號”、“海岸號”、“脈衝號”、“地址號”、“閃電號”和“皮卡丘號”．．．．．．，每件都有獨特的用途，為登陸各個星球做準備。
The kids from transition class 2 invented all kinds of detectors： ”Liangcha”， ”coast”， ”impulse”， ”lightning” and ”Pikachu”．．． Each has a unique purpose， meanwhile they are in preparation for landing on the planets．
大三班的小朋友們利用傅科擺向大家證實了地球的自轉。看！他們做了很多用傅科擺設計的藝術作品。
The children of Class 3 proved the rotation of the earth with Foucault’s pendulum． Look！ They did a lot of ‘art work’ with Foucault pendulum．
大一班的小朋友們的末日提問：
美麗神秘的太空中那一抹耀眼的藍綠色星球我們的家園——地球，豐富的物資稀有的空氣為我們生存提供了必要條件，你可曾試想過她的生命回到末期，將成為一個熾熱的熔岩星球，任何生命都將無法生存，我們即將移居其他星球，你最想移居那顆星球？最不想去那顆星球？為什麼？
“In the beautiful and mysterious space， a bright blue－green planet is our home －the earth． Abundant supplies and fresh air provides necessary conditions for our survival．
Did you ever think her life may be ended someday？”
“Maybe it will become a red－hot lava planet and life on it will not be able to survive， so we have to move to the other planets．
If we have to move to other planets？ Which planet would you really like to stay on？ Which one you are not willing to move too？ And why？？？”
人類目前已知最可能遷入的星球是哪顆？它有什麼樣的特點？請跟著大四班小朋友們進行人類新家園的建構。
“What is the most likely known planet for human colonization？ What characteristics does it have？”
Please follow the children from Class four they will build a new home for human beings．
同時，小朋友們還將對宇宙的暢想帶到了運動會。變幻莫測與瞬息萬變，宇宙的浩瀚始終耐人尋味。
At the same time， the children also brought their imagination of the universe to the school sports day． Unpredictable and rapidly changing， the vastness of the universe is always intriguing．
小朋友們在60天中，
帶著敬畏心來探究宇宙，感知宇宙，對宇宙進行暢想。
他們還在提出更多的問題：
宇宙之外還有宇宙嗎？
怎樣知道宇宙有多大呢？
宇宙會有各式各樣的不同生命體嗎？．．．
Children explored， perceived and imagined the universe with awe within the last two months ．
They are still asking questions about the universe and these are：
Is there a universe in outer space？
Do you know how big the universe is？
Will there be different forms of life in the universe？
