In March 2022, Shanshuicheng Primary School innovatively expanded the ideological and political education classroom to the fluttering national flag. Since then, the flag-raising ceremony every Monday has become an "immersive" ideological and political learning time for children. Under the national flag, each class took the stage to "teach" in turn, enriching the connotation of "understanding China" again and again.
Coming to the school hall, the students of the fifth class of the second grade were conducting a lively and interesting ideological and political class with the theme of "Reading "Friendship"". On the stage, the students tacitly cooperated, devoted themselves to the role, and deduced the "friendship" around them through the sitcom "You at the Same Table".
Subsequently, the parent representatives took to the stage and turned their sincere emotions and profound thoughts into simple language, telling the children what friendship is, and giving everyone the best wishes.
At the end of the class, all the students of Class 5 of Year 2 came to the stage together, danced their hands together, and danced the gesture dance "You Are My Friend". The picture of love scrolled on the big screen with the music, and the whole scene was infected by this enthusiasm, enjoying the happiness brought by friendship together.
"Since the establishment of the school, the school has explored in many ways and established the brand of 'Shanshui Party Building', and has integrated and promoted all aspects of the school's work with the model of 'Party Building + Ideological and Political', that is, 'promoting business with Party building and strengthening Party building with ideology and politics'. It is under this guidance that the series of lectures on the ideological and political theme of "Understanding China" came into being. Shi Chao, principal of Shanshui City Primary School, introduced.
From understanding "patriotism" to understanding "friendship", from traditional Chinese culture and customs to classic Chinese ancient poems, from "Xi Jinping's dictionaries" to "the spiritual genealogy of the Communist Party of China", from the core values of socialism to the great achievements of China's development in the new era...... The "Understanding China" series of classes in Shanshuicheng Primary School invited students, teachers, parents and social forces to teach and listen together, which effectively broadened the platform of ideological and political education in Shanshuicheng Primary School and laid a solid foundation for the improvement of students' ideological and moral, mental health, cultural quality and other qualities. The new way of ideological and political education with multi-party linkage is leading students step by step towards their own era and future.
"The corners that impressed me the most were the kerosene lamps, old clocks and urns, and I learned that they all have a long history. Li Zexi, a fourth-grade student in the third class, wrote in the study manual of the labor practice project.
Shi Chao introduced that during the National Day, winter and summer vacations and other holidays, every teacher in the school will become a "designer", and through communication and coordination, tailor-made "learning by doing" learning plans and illustrated research manuals for students of different grades.
In the labor practice of "following the solar terms to understand China", students will come to the farmland to break corn, dig potatoes, grind flour, and learn about the growth of crops. In the research activity of "Traveling to Jinshan and Jinshui, Tasting Fucheng Culture, and Being a Youth of the Times", we will check in the thousand-year-old Fucheng culture together. The rich and colorful extracurricular practice vividly introduced the traditional culture of their hometown, tempered their will and quality, and realized the purpose of letting children think, think and learn while traveling.
In the second national interdisciplinary theme learning case competition held in September 2023, five cases of Shanshui City Primary School, including "Holding a Fun Sports Day", "I Fill the School Library", "Entering the Textbook Text and Interpreting Patriotic Classics", "Expressing Life with Self-made Audio" and "Playing with the Landscape World Cup", won national awards, which strengthened the school's determination and confidence in implementing project-based teaching and carrying out labor education.
In the afternoon, the school club activities arrived as scheduled. In the classrooms of each club, teachers are leading the children to swim in the world of music. Guzheng, pipa, bamboo flute, violin, cello, French horn, clarinet...... The sound of musical instruments reverberates through the corridors of the campus.
"Knock along with the teacher's beat and pay attention to the rhythm. "In the Strike Club, the teacher encouraged the students to release their energy through music. They hit the drum with concentration, the drumsticks in their hands dancing to the rhythm, and the tentacles of the music vibrated again and again.
"Come, keep blowing, and rest for five minutes when you get dizzy. "In the flute classroom, there is concern in the teacher's strict teaching. The students held the instruments in their hands and played them with their hearts, each of them firmly believing that their unremitting efforts would eventually lead to pleasant notes.
"See if your fingering is right. "In the Guzheng Club, the teacher patiently taught the children. Each student was carefully observing their fingering, and although there were occasional mistakes, none of them showed a look of discouragement and flinching.
In the warm classroom, blush spreads on the children's faces. The afternoon sun shines through the window and sprinkles on the wall, a golden color. In each classroom, they feel the power of music with their hearts, and everyone exudes a charismatic brilliance.
Shi Chao introduced that the school currently has a total of 39 clubs, in addition to the folk music clubs and symphony clubs, there are other clubs including chorus, art, calligraphy, broadcasting host, model aircraft, chess, etc., and the art and chess characteristics of education into a variety of club activities, further implement the national "double reduction" policy, and effectively inherit the school's artistic education.
With "Understanding China" as the horizontal expansion, project-based learning as the vertical digging, and club activities as the colorful embellishment, Shanshuicheng Primary School uses its own way to position the development coordinates of quality education in the new era, and answers the questions of the times in an all-round and three-dimensional way, "what people to cultivate, how to cultivate people, and for whom to cultivate people".
