The morning of February 29th is just an ordinary school day for most primary schools, but walking into Jinan High-tech Zone Jingu Primary School can make you feel the "New Year" atmosphere again - the winter vacation theme homework re-construction activity" "Longteng·Lianqing·Food Exchange and the Launching Ceremony of the 2024 Curriculum Improvement Year" was held lively.
Jingu Primary School is a new school that will be put into use in the fall of 2022. From the second semester, it started the "tradition" of not giving "lectures" in the first week of school: in order to prevent students' holiday homework from becoming a pile after being collected. "Waste paper" dampens students' enthusiasm for completing homework. The school is not in a hurry to teach new courses in the first week of each semester. Instead, it leads students to rely on holiday theme courses to design interesting and immersive customs clearance activities in the first week of school. The summary of previously learned knowledge also creates a good start for the new semester's study, allowing the learning process to form a "closed loop" while connecting the past and the future.
This "Reconstruction of Theme Assignments" is the third time that the school has carried out this activity. It integrates the traditional culture of the Spring Festival, Jinan regional culture, colorful life, and new and old subject knowledge to educate and entertain, and improve students' comprehensive quality. .
activity areas are all set up in the corridors of the teaching building. As soon as you approach, the children's laughter, singing, and cheers can be heard endlessly. Looking around, we can see that each level is crowded with people, and children line up to "break through". The walls, ceilings and other areas near each level are also "decorated with lights and colorful decorations". The teachers have carefully decorated them with students' winter vacation works in advance, and the display content is related to The level test knowledge points correspond to each other.
At present, the school has three grades. The first, second and third grades respectively combine the "Lotus" course, "Valley" course and "Dragon" course conducted in the previous semester to carry out related theme breakthrough activities.
's first-grade "Date with You" is divided into eight levels. Art works showing the integration of fine arts and traditional culture, self-made word card literacy, interdisciplinary poetry reading that integrates mathematics and Chinese, audio-visual integration of ancient poetry singing, interesting sports based on situational creation, exercises and expressions that record Lotus delicacies, and Lotus knowledge The scientific inquiry in How Much I Know, the mathematical operations in the game, and the shopping experience... Students who finally pass all levels will receive delicious lotus seed eight-treasure porridge and an exquisite bookmark composed of a clearance seal.
The second-grade children held the "Spring Festival on the Tip of the Tongue - Winter Vacation Life Guidance" in exchange for tickets to the "Food Garden Party", reliving the traditional customs from Laba, Xiaonian to Lantern Festival, and consolidating their knowledge of various subjects. This theme is divided into six major levels, namely "hot" which shows Chinese literacy and traditional culture; "more than every year" which gives meaning to mathematics life; scientific diet and interdisciplinary integration "gourmet reunion"; The lively "New Year's greetings in Leyouyuan" and the traditional games of "Touhu"; and the special event of "My Walk, My Show" recommending good books. Finally, students who pass the level will be rewarded with making and tasting Yuanxiao on site.
The "Lucky Dragon Playing with Pearls Carnival" in the third grade further reflects the integration of subject abilities, as well as students' independent learning and self-management. There are seven activities in total. The first is the "dragon and tiger leap" that perfectly integrates mathematics and physical education; the second is group competition. They guessed riddles and cooperated to complete the "finishing point" of the nine-square grid of the idiom with the word dragon; third, they held a dragon calendar made by themselves and learned the "ins and outs" of relevant knowledge about "year, month, and day"; fourth, the children sang "Dragon" while performing The "Flying Dragon and the Phoenix" of songs such as "The Descendants"; the fifth is the "dragon coiling and the tiger is sitting" that accumulates English words; the sixth is the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" picture made by posting holiday calligraphy works; the seventh is the "lying dragon" that uses group cooperation to interpret fables. The tiger hides the dragon."
"It's so interesting! It's not boring at all. I learned knowledge just like playing." "I'm very happy to pass the levels. Through my own efforts, I got lollipops and glutinous rice balls, which felt very sweet." "I was very excited last night. , I’m so excited that I can’t sleep, and I’m just looking forward to completing the challenge with my friends today.” The children rushed to express their feelings about the activity.
It is worth mentioning that the third-grade "Dragon" course appeared for the first time in the school's "Theme Main Business Reconstruction" activity, and the novel level content is eye-catching. In the third-grade activity area, the walls and ceilings are covered with "dragon" elements. Different from the single-player challenge in the first and second grade, the third grade focuses on teamwork. According to the relevant person in charge, as the students grow older, , the third-grade activity emphasized the importance of group writing, and also added a "pk" link between groups to enhance students' collective sense of honor.
Bi Yingchun, the principal of the school, introduced that this activity was purposefully designed, passed, and evaluated around the winter vacation theme courses, integrating the traditional culture of the Spring Festival, Jinan regional culture, colorful life, and new and old subject knowledge, and using gamification and fun to pass the levels. The form tests students' learning results, allows them to experience the happiness after hard work, and also promptly checks for omissions and fills in the gaps, helping students develop the habit of starting and finishing things. “Each level activity is creatively developed by teachers based on the spirit of the curriculum standards, teaching practice, and student characteristics, and is closely linked. Teachers try their best to use innovative thinking and creatively design activities, which also stimulates teachers’ curriculum awareness and The ability to integrate across disciplines."
"High-tech education advocates 'leading community education with school education, leading community culture with school culture, and leading community sports with school sports'. Our winter vacation theme homework is closely related to local culture, student realities, Spring Festival characteristics, etc. The elements are closely integrated, and the leaders of the community where the school is located are invited to the school in this activity, which expands the radiating effect of the school." Bi Yingchun said that every activity is enthusiastically supported by parents. When recruiting parent volunteers for the activity, some All 9 places in the class were "snatched" within one minute. Parents have more ways to learn about the school and can better understand school education and promote home-school co-education.
