These two schools use books as a medium to build bridges of friendship

On the afternoon of April 16, Wang Zixi, a 5th-grade student at Songzhuang School in Sanzhao Township, Nanhe District, solemnly wrote words of thanks on a letter, and at the end of the letter was painted with rainbows and flowers.

On the eve of World Book Day, nearly 200 books donated by students in class 5 (3) of Jiayuan Primary School in Nanhe District to the students of the fifth grade of Songzhuang School in Nanhe District. Two elementary schools, more than 30 kilometers apart, held hands because of books and formed a friendship.

200 books for friends

Wang Xiao, the class teacher of the fifth (third) class of Jiayuan Primary School, exchanged with Wang Nan, a teacher of the "three branches and one support" branch of the foreign school, and learned that there are less than 200 students in the first to sixth grades of Songzhuang School in Nanhe District, and there is only one class in one grade, and the children love to learn and hope to have the opportunity to see more books to broaden their horizons.

So, on the eve of World Book Day, there was this hand-in-hand book rafting event between the two schools.

When Teacher Wang Xiao told the students the idea of this activity, the students competed to raise their hands to participate. On the afternoon of April 16, during the self-study time, the students put their own unused books that they felt good on the lectern table. You have one, he has three, and some even donated 30 books.

"I can share the joy of reading with other friends, so I can't miss this opportunity." Student Wang Xinran also made drifting reading cards for nearly 200 donated books together with other students, hoping that every little friend who reads this book can leave a mark on the card.

Hand in hand, friendships because of books

On the afternoon of April 16, three parent volunteers drove to Songzhuang School in Sanzhao Township, Nanhe District, carrying love books, with 6 student representatives. At the same time, Wang Nan, the teacher in charge of docking at Songzhuang School, led the 5th grade students to wipe the hand-in-hand book drifting corner in the class clean, and also placed green plants.

At 15:30, the children were delighted to see stacks of books carefully packed with ribbons being moved into the classroom. There are story books, essays, and teaching aids, and the books are very new. On the other side, the students of Songzhuang School also handed over their own thank-you letters to the student representatives of Jiayuan Primary School, and at the same time, each student of Songzhuang School received a card with various blessings written on it.

The "Friendship Experimental Field" grows vegetables hand in hand

Songzhuang School has a vegetable field with a variety of vegetables, and it is also a paradise for children to experience farming. This time, You Jianke, the principal of Songzhuang School, specially set aside a "friendship test field" in the vegetable field, loosened the soil, prepared the seeds, and waited for the student representatives of the two schools to experience farming.

After the book drift, the student representatives of the two schools walked into the experimental field in pairs, took the bitter melon, loofah, pumpkin seeds, as well as seedlings of peppers and tomatoes from the principal's hand, and began to plant. You dig pits, I water, and the students work closely together to get the work going.

Principal You Jianke was very supportive of the event: "The children of the two schools holding hands is a good opportunity for communication. Rural children can broaden their horizons, urban children can experience and understand rural life, and hope that their exchanges will continue.
