The 4th and 5th grade students visited the Yutong bus factory! The students learned about the bus production process, including how the bus is built on the assembly line and then tested to ensure it is safe to be used. This connects to the 4th grade unit of inquiry into the economy. The students also learned about how the buses are "eco-buses," using electric energy to recharge instead of relying on gasoline and connecting to the 4th grade unit of inquiry into energy.

The 4th and 5th graders continued their learning by hearing about the invention of the self-driving bus. They identified elements of the invention process used by the company. This will help the students as they create their own inventions for their Invention Convention!

“After this field trip, the students learnt about the process of how the company takes materials and create buses. They also got to know what it takes to create these buses. They took notes and researching, so they can use this for the Invention Convention that we’ll have on Friday, March 31st. So, definitely come and check out their inventions at the Invention Convention.”

--5th grade homeroom teacher Ms. Levrets

“I’m here with our wonderful 4th and 5th grade students on a field trip to Yutong Bus factory. The students toke notes. Later they are going to be writing a report on their visit to the factory. They have looked at how the frames of the buses are painted and how the buses are tested at the special test track…. Then we also had a test driving the latest self-driving buses.”

--Dean of student Mr. Bond

“Today, our class and the 5th grade went on a field trip to Yutong buses. We learnt something on economy. We were so excited that we sit on a bus called Xiaoyu. It is small, but it can drive by itself. Nobody needs to drive it. It is so cool!!”

3月15日我校四年級和五年級的學生一同參觀了宇通客車工廠，開啟了他們的研學之旅! 學生們了解了公共汽車生產的全過程，包括公共汽車是如何在裝配線上建造的，隨后進行出廠前的各種性能測試以確保使用安全。這與四年級正在以“經濟調查”為主題的學習探究單元相關聯。此外，學生們還了解到了公共汽車是如何成為 “生態公共汽車” 的，明白其利用電能而不是依靠汽油提供動力去前進驅使，由此又連接到了四年級的另一學習探究單元—“能源調查”。

四年級和五年級的學生還通過了解自動駕駛巴士的發明過程來繼續他們的學習。學生們通過工廠實地調查及問訊工廠員工確定了這些巴士的發明過程所需要的生產要素。這將有助于學生迸發出更多發明創造靈感，支持接下來的發明大會得以順利舉行!

四年級和五年級的學生通過來到宇通客車工廠研學之后，明白了如何獲得材料并研發公交車的，而且學生們也參觀了解公交車是如何進行制造與生產的，他們做了詳細的調查筆記，這些筆記可以用于將在3月31號周五舉行的“發明大會”，所以說你一定要來看發明大會上學生的作品！

今天同四年級及五年級的學生來到了宇通客車工廠進行戶外研學，同學們正在認真的將他們在工廠里面的所見所聞記錄下來，他們了解到了汽車的結構是如何上色的，是如何在特殊的道路上進行測試的···然后同學們也很高興的乘坐了宇通最新款的無人駕駛汽車。

今天我們和五年級的同學一起來到了宇通客車工廠，在這里進行戶外研學，我們了解到了有關經濟運作的相關消息，也參觀了一些工廠制造車間，更高興的是我們還乘坐了一個叫“小宇”的無人駕駛公交車，它很酷！
