G1-4 Chinese Culture Week Series——Diverse Traditional Culture

April 23rd was the second day of SHSID Primary p Chinese cultural week. Every grade embraces wonderful activities and the students experienced more aspects about Chinese culture.

First graders watched a documentary film about the Imperial Palace and designed their own moon-shaped silk fans, cloth bags, T-shirts and pillowcases. Drawn by children, those magnificent architectures became cuter and full of fun.

After reading books about the 24 solar terms, second graders learned about the order and key features of the terms. In Chinese class, students finished drawing the terms on paper plates. Students heard more about the beauty of the four seasons and the wisdom hidden in traditional culture.

Third graders used Chinese dialects to recite poems. Cantonese has many tones. The Wu dialect is sweet and the northern dialects are very humorous. Some poems will be more rhyming if it’s read by dialects. All the students were well prepared and made a fantastic poem recitation show.

In the afternoon, grade 3 and grade 4 students gathered in the auditorium and listened to a lecture about Peking Opera. A professional teacher introduced to them the origin and roles of Peking Opera. Students also experienced the movements and the elegant voice.

There are too many sparkling points in Chinese traditional culture. In the following days, we will continue exploring together. We hope that students will continue learning and gained a deeper understanding of the cherished Chinese culture.

繪畫手工，誦詩聽戲

——小學段中國文化周系列報道

4月23日是小學段中國文化周的第二天，各個年級迎來了精彩紛呈的活動，小朋友們在這些活動中更多地體味到了中國文化的方方面面。

一年級小朋友們通過觀看了《故宮100》紀錄片，并繪制了帶有故宮元素的團扇、布袋、T恤和抱枕套。強烈而又統一的色彩，玲瓏秀麗的檐角，富有韻律和節奏感變化的建筑，在孩子們的筆下別有生趣。

二年級小朋友一起“覓時”。熟讀了《二十四節氣》之后，他們對于節氣順序和特征有了一定的了解。中文課上，小朋友們每人繪制了一個二十四節氣圓盤。從東風解凍，到梅子黃熟，暑去涼來，到萬物收藏，小朋友們通過繪制圓盤感受到了四時之美，也體會到中國傳統文化的智慧。

三年級的小朋友用方言誦詩，音調豐富的粵語，軟糯婉轉的吳語，還有各種幽默豪放的北方方言，讀起古詩來，都有種特別的韻味。有的古詩用方言讀來，更是特別押韻。小朋友們準備充分，奉獻了一場場精彩的詩朗誦。

下午，三四年級的小朋友齊聚禮堂，聽專業老師為大家介紹了京劇的起源、行當，老師重點為大家介紹了旦角。老師演示山膀的動作，并請三組同學上臺體驗了動作。接著老師教大家唱了《蘇三起解》中的“蘇三離了洪洞縣”，讓小朋友們體驗了京劇唱腔。

中國傳統文化亮點多多，接下來的幾天，我們還將繼續探索體悟，希望小朋友們對這些傳統文化了解更深、興趣更濃！
