Years 4-5 Transformation Underway! 四、五年级学习社区改造正在进行中！

The 3rd floor of Building A on the YCIS Beijing campus is in the midst of some serious remodeling, undergoing a much-needed makeover from a traditional “bells and cells” model of enclosed classrooms to a 21st century Learning Community.

北京耀中国际学校A楼三层目前正在紧张的施工中。我们将为四五年级的教室做一个大的转变，原来传统的、封闭的课室和墙都被取掉，取而代之的是21世纪的学习社区。

This brand new section for Years 4 and 5 will resemble our current Year 3 Learning Community. Through this spatial evolution, YCIS Beijing’s model of education can even more effectively shift its focus to creating capable learners who not only possess a depth of knowledge but also the adaptability, creativity, and critical thinking ability to find success in an unpredictable future.

这个全新的四五年级的学习社区和三年级的学习社区相类似。通过这个空间的改革，北京耀中国际学校教育的模式将更有效地培养有创意的学习者，使得学生不仅仅能获得深度的知识，而且具备灵活性、创造性和能批判性思考，帮助他们在未知的未来中立足。

Perhaps the most exciting section of each of our Learning Communities is the Maker’s Space, the community’s largest open area dedicated to fostering creativity in students.

或许我们学校学习社区中最有意思的是手工空间。这是学习社区里最大的开放区域，用以培养学生的创造性。

A Space that Encourages Creativity

激发创意的空间

As its name implies, the Maker’s Space is the primary designated area in the community for making things. The physical features of the space match this mission. Equipped with sinks, the entire area is also wipe-clean, allowing students to run with wet, messy projects without the fear of ruining or damaging anything.

手工空间是一个做东西的主要的指定区域。这个空间的特色高度匹配它的使命。手工空间配有水槽，整个区域一尘不染，能让学生在其中进行湿漉漉的、凌乱的项目，而不用担心会毁坏课室的任何东西。

Student choice is also a major theme of the Learning Community, so students are provided with access to low storage areas in the Maker’s Space. This gives them access to a wide variety of safe creative materials that they can use freely for projects whenever they want. 

学习社区的一个重要的主题是学生的选择权。因此，当学生做某个项目时，学生可以去矮的储藏区域去取他们需要的安全的、有创意的材料，自由使用。
