The pupils of our school were in England--- The Fourth Day
It was the second day for us to come to Herringthorpe Junior School today.It was beginning to break,we got up.Then we put all the things away.We got ready for setting off.We were looking forward to meeting our friends and what interesting things we would do. Morning is the best time of a day.Breakfast is the energy source of the day.After eating this healthy English breakfast,we would set off. While we were walking,we were singing,laughing and chatting.We came to Herringthorpe Junior School again. ------------ 1 ------------ Today the two schools would cooperate on curriculum construction,it would provide Chinese and English pupils with the “soil” for international understanding education. How big this plastic paper is!What would she do? With the help of the teacher Amanda who came from Herringthorpe Junior School.The Chinese pupils and English pupils were divided into A and B groups.The pupils of team A were making kites with the help of the teacher Tom. These paper looked very special.What is it made from? In order to implement environment protection and recycling.Pupils used the plastic shopping bags as membrane and plastic straw as skeleton.Every child has a pair of scissors,they cut,sticked up......It seemed a simple process,but if they wanted to make the beautiful kites,it was a great challenge for every little hand. The recycling of wastes. The gorgeous transformation of waste. Such a kite must be very beautiful. Help each other. The finished product is coming out soon. Don’t let anyone stop me,I’m going to fly a kite. Look at the children smiling happily. At the moment the borders were not very important,we share this blue sky. ------------ 2 ------------ The students of Group B assigned to ICT classrooms. The teacher Gilry guided the students to learn to design and print.
Look,English and Chinese students cooperated in learning to use “Sketch Up” before a computer.The teacher Gilry used “Flipped classroom teaching method”,children watched the video first,then discussed to choose the theme plan:to design and make a Chinese landmark building. Does it look familiar with it? Some chose “the Temple of Heaven”,some chose “the Great Wall” ,some chose “the big shorts” of Beijing......While some were designing,others were watching the printers workflow.With the help of the guidance of the assistant teacher ,Chinese and English students has understood the use of modern technology deeply. ------------ 3 ------------ After lunch,the teachers were divided into two groups,they went to Miss Kirby and Miss Snowden's classes.The English teachers had handwriting classes.We Chinese teachers would experience the writing requirements of British education. The first group went to Grade Six,the teacher Snowden guided the children to review the types of letters:cohanger letter,tall letter,short letter,tail letter.The teacher demonstrated writing requirements through a projector.Conjoined writing is a requirement in advanced writing classes.This is not only a handwriting class,the fun words increased children's participation.The parts of your body help you move,what is it including the letters “j” and “t”?It’s “joint”.One thing that you like to do,what is it including “t”and “k”?It’s “talk”.This class cultivated students’ thinking and interest. We also made Chinese posters! ------------ 4 ------------ Joint development of Chinese and English courses------Let’s cut a paper-cut together. Look!The vice-president Mr Yang was teaching the English students to cut the paper-cuts. Window cuts are paper cuts pasted on window paper or window.It is one of the oldest traditional folk arts in China.It has a long history and unique style,was loved by us and foreigners.
Today we taught you simple window cuts.It is very easy to learn.
Look!We finished our works!Things are done in style.Thump up for you! The window cuts condensation of Chinese and foreign friendship and wisdom. At the end of the day,the children were tired!The teachers of the school shared the delicious pizza with us. This research trip was not just to see the wider world,also to get out of the country.It made us see as a Chinese cultural self-confidence. Only communication can promote the development of culture,we were looking forward to the next wonderful course. (Translated by ZhaoJun Written by ZhangShuai) |
