On the afternoon of May 4, the 2022 "People's Livelihood Micro-Facts" nature education project "Observing the Colors of the Garden spring" in Xicheng Community, Sanzao Town, Jinwan District, was successfully carried out in the Central River Wetland Park.
The activities increased the children's understanding and love of nature with the help of five senses games and natural experiences, and also enabled community residents to promote the development of parent-child relationship and neighborhood relationship in learning and collaboration. The event was sponsored by the Party Committee and Neighborhood Committee of Xicheng Community in Sanzao Town, and hosted by the Jiusi Traditional Culture Promotion Center.
Parent-child interaction session - listening to the blind walk became a small climax of the day's activities.
The willows dance with the wind, and the summer of the rain is coming. At the time of the alternation of valley rain and summer, people are not only nostalgic for the red and willow green flowers in spring, but also look forward to the hot summer. In the sunny holiday afternoon, 15 groups of parent-child families gathered in the green meadows along the river in the center of Jinwan to bid farewell to spring and welcome summer.
The event kicked off with the nature game "Noah's Ark", where children found their companions by mimicking the animal poses they represented, making sounds, performing typical movements, and then finding their companions based on randomly drawn animal cards. At the beginning of the whistle, the "animals" either meow softly, or cuckoo cuckoo shouts, or spread their wings and fly, or jump, instantly arousing the enthusiasm of the children.
According to their own observations and imaginations, the children draw the colorful world in their eyes into paper.
Subsequently, the teacher led the children to watch the animals and plants around them, reminding everyone to pay close attention to what they saw, heard and heard along the way, so as to more vividly and interestingly cut into the phenology, hyacinth flowers and customs of the valley rain. Watch the duckweed in the river in nature, listen to the cuckoo birds in the trees, personally feel the heat of the climate at the turn of spring and summer, and use the five senses experience to stimulate the children's interest and vitality in learning.
The parent-child interaction session , "Listening to the Blind Walk" became a small climax of the day's activities. The activities are divided into small groups of parent-child families, and parents and children hold hands and move forward together. All participants blindfolded and could only discern the direction based on the whistle issued by the teacher at a fixed point, so as to reach the final destination.
Children observe the names, colors and smells of naturally derived plants as inspiration for their creations.
Under the whistle of the teacher's fixed point, each group of parent-child families walked in a straight line "with difficulty", some slowly walked towards the end, some deviated from the track, and the moment they took off the blindfold, they were full of smiles, and experienced the happiness of mutual trust and encouragement during the game.
It is worth mentioning that the activity also set up a special link for children to deeply understand nature and record nature - to observe the color.
Each team of children and teachers with prop cards and plant observation cards together with a deep integration into nature, some children crawling on the grass, like newborn caterpillars and flowers and grass for a long time, just to carefully record their cute shape, bright colors, some children in the flowers and grass have a surprise found that they gently "boo", signaling the little friends around them not to disturb the small insects, very cute.
In the process of creation, the children draw the colorful world in their eyes into paper according to their own observations and imaginations. When sharing their works, they describe the names, colors and smells of plants in great detail, expressing the inspiration for the creation of the works, which is extremely vivid.
