Near graduation season, many children will send their favorite pictures, photos or handicrafts to the kindergarten as a souvenir. The teachers of the Chinese media Weihan Kindergarten received a special picture work - the picture is a golden trophy.
This picture was given to Sherry by a gracei in class K3-A. Others may not understand the meaning of this painting, but Sherry knows it all too well. She said that she would solemnly collect the painting and show it to her new little brothers and sisters in the kindergarten.
Behind the special picture
There's a moving story
Behind the pictures that Ms. Sherry cherished so much, there was a moving story. At the end of last year, the kindergarten held a solo English show, and Gracie signed up for a show with her good friend Linda and won the second prize. But because the competition format is individual, the kindergarten prepares a single trophy.
Two little girls holding a trophy and showing an embarrassed expression, what to do?
Teacher Sherry remembers the two children having this conversation:
Gracie: Linda, I have a good idea, it's the two of us with this trophy, we take turns in our respective homes for a week, so that we both have this trophy.
Linda: But I don't want to, I want this trophy, or we rock scissors cloth, whoever wins this trophy will belong to whomever wins.
(Linda lost, she was very unhappy, she wanted the trophy too much.) ）
When Gracie found out, she thought about it and said, "Linda, I'm older than you, or else, this trophy will be given to you." But I also like it, can I draw it as a souvenir, and then you can take it home? ”
Linda instantly became happy: "Thank you so much, Gracie, I think I can draw this trophy and give it to you." ”
In this way, the two little girls discussed and solved the problem on their own.
Afterwards, the teacher Sherry shared the incident with Grace's mother, and Gracie's mother said that she was not surprised. She said that her daughter often shared with her the various inquiry activities that the teachers took them to do, saying that they often encountered many problems, and the teachers could support their ideas and encourage them to communicate with each other and solve problems in their own way.
The teacher was not there, and she took the initiative to go up and get the exercise
What kind of kindergarten is this, and why do children have this kind of problem-solving ability that some adults may not necessarily have?
We recently made a special visit to the kindergarten.
It was morning when I went, and the teacher was doing morning exercises with the children.
One of the children in the class wants to go to the toilet and wants the teacher to accompany him.
I saw that there was no one in front of the team to take the. Suddenly, a little girl came out from the middle of the children, and naturally stood in front of the line and led everyone to do the exercises.
When Teacher Sky returned, she happily asked the little girl, "Sophie, did Teacher Jay let you go up and get the gymnastics?" Sophie said very seriously: "No, you are not here, I am the small class leader today, I came up by myself." ”
Teacher Sky said that indeed, in IB Kindergarten, teachers use various learning styles to stimulate children's initiative. The group-based project system allows everyone to participate in it and play their own role, and cultivates children's leadership, responsibility and collaboration skills through activities, which subtly affects little Sophie, allowing her to take the task of leading the exercise very actively and confidently in the absence of the teacher.
Jason in small classes can easily complete the front rollover
We learned that at Hua Media Weihan Kindergarten, children are ensured to have 2 hours of outdoor activity time every day. The kindergarten has a large area of outdoor space, and when the weather is good, take the children to the outdoors for activities.
When the weather is bad, the kindergarten also has a large physical classroom.
We saw that the kindergarten physical fitness classroom was equipped with a variety of sports equipment suitable for children, such as running tracks, trampolines, and cushions, which were spacious and safe. Led by two male teachers, more than 10 children are doing activities here.
The kindergarten also specially hired a full-time physical teacher who graduated from the Department of Physical Education of Hangzhou Normal University, around the curriculum concept of "happy sports and lifelong health", the kindergarten integrates multiple resources, in order to promote the comprehensive and coordinated development of children's physical and mental health, the kindergarten has planned a sports game activity suitable for children's independent learning, body exercise, quality cultivation, covering children's daily life.

Jason's children in the kindergarten, who have only been in kindergarten for more than half a year, showed us his beautiful forward rolling action.
The person in charge of the kindergarten said that with the guidance and drive of full-time teachers, the child's athletic ability improved very quickly, and he was looking forward to going to the physical classroom for classes.
When the weather in Hangzhou is sunny, the kindergarten launches a morning carnival, with eight activity areas in the outdoor activity venue, including cycling, ball games, jumping, balance and other projects, so that children can get full outdoor sports.
Spend so much time and energy into the physical fitness course, the head of the kindergarten said, because now the amount of exercise in the daily life of the child at home is not enough, going up and down the kindergarten, every day the pick-up is the car, now the development of some basic movements of the child, not as good as the previous children, "running, jumping, walking, climbing, pedaling action, coordination is relatively weak." Sports games drive more possibilities for children. The agility of the movements, the responsiveness of the body, how to overcome difficulties encountered, how to persevere with hobbies, and eventually become a lifelong athlete. This is an indispensable experience in the growth of children's lives, and they need to experience it personally. Developing a lifelong interest and habit of exercise, accompanied by health, is one of the best gifts for children.
Lucy, can you give me the flower spoon?
At lunchtime, we found that the kindergarten would provide the children with a variety of beautiful flower spoons that were not patterned. Some children like this pattern, and some like that pattern. The teacher said that he hopes that children will not only have their own unique aesthetics, but also meet individual needs.
At noon that day, there was a flower spoon with a small animal pattern on it, and two children liked it.
A kid named Lucy got the little flower spoon first, and another kid asked, "Lucy, can you give me the flower spoon?" Lucy did not hesitate to agree: "Yes, I will use the other spoon as well, this one will be for you!" ”
We asked Lucy why he was willing to give up the spoon he also liked to other children, and Lucy smiled sweetly and said, "The last time we did the project-based study of Asian Games buildings, he and I wanted to paint the japanese building part, so he let me choose to paint Korean architecture myself." Next time we can also exchange. Our teachers say that our world is made better in this kind of communication. ”
Cultivate lifelong athletes and responsible persons
Problem solvers and elegant people
Half a day of visiting the garden, seeing many small stories that make people sigh, reminding people of a remark once brushed the screen by Tang Jiangpeng, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference: A good education should cultivate lifelong athletes, responsible persons, problem solvers and elegant people.
The director of the kindergarten said that there are many stories like the ones we have seen in kindergartens, because Hua media Weihan Kindergarten has been trying to practice the educational concept of IB.
Founded in 1968, IB is a non-profit international educational institution registered with the United Nations Educational, Educational, Cultural and Health Organization (UNESCO) and recognized as a world leader in international education. IB's goal is to cultivate inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring young people.
Since December 2020, Hangzhou Gongshu District Hua Media Weihan Kindergarten officially became an IBPYP candidate kindergarten, it has been striving to cultivate young children to become people with international feelings through educational activities, life activities and game activities.
In January 2022, after a comprehensive inspection of the IBO International Baccalaureate Organization PYP (Primary Years Program, Kindergarten Stage) project advisory panel from the aspects of kindergarten organizational structure, educational philosophy, project development and future planning, Hua Media Weihan Kindergarten successfully passed the pre-authorization review officially authorized by IB.
