With more than 70 years of running a school and more than 20 years of collaborative education experimental research, Shamian students have formed the spirit of "climbing the peak again". For a long time, the school has been adhering to the tenet of "laying a foundation for the healthy growth of children's lives", and under the influence of the style of study of "making further progress", it has written a chapter in quality education in the inheritance. Among them, the excellent quality of education, especially the all-round development and personality of Shamian students, has won wide recognition from all walks of life.
What kind of people should schools train in the new era? How to cultivate? For who? Based on the concept of "new cooperation", the school put forward a new vision of "building a school without a' fence'" and an educational goal of "standing on the international stage to see the world".
The school strives to break down the "barriers" of associations, actively integrate educational resources and build a learning platform. Through the form of going out and inviting in, combined with a large number of club practices, volunteer activities, home-school cooperation, cultural experience and other favorite forms, let students feel the truth, goodness and beauty, and carry out meaningful education in an interesting way!
On the day before the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, Shamian Island Friendship Park held a unique flag-raising ceremony with the theme of "Inheritance, Flag Passing and Ode", which was jointly conducted by Shamian Primary School and ten units on the island. Representatives of Shamian Street Party Working Committee, Shamian Street Office, Foreign Affairs Working Committee Office of Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, Guangdong Branch of General Administration of Customs, White Swan Hotel, Henan Office in Guangzhou, Shamian Street Police Station, Shamian Sub-branch of China Industrial and Commercial Bank and Shamian Street Social Work Service Station were all absent. The atmosphere is warm and touching.
"This is the largest flag-raising ceremony on Shamian Island, and this flag-raising ceremony was led by Shamian Primary School, which has a history of 73 years. It is of great significance! " "The solemn flag-raising ceremony made us realize with the children that today's happy life is hard-won, and countless revolutionary martyrs exchanged their lives and blood. Each of our small families should contribute more wisdom and strength to the motherland! " Parents who participated in the event at the scene said with emotion.
In addition, the school regularly visits the Foreign Affairs Museum and the Customs Museum; Carry out joint community education with Guangzhou 1 five-star hotel White Swan Hotel, introduce the White Swan Silk Road restaurant to children, and learn western catering culture knowledge with the theme of Belt and Road.
The school always grasps the pulse of the development of the times, cultivates students' patriotic feelings with the help of various major festivals, and leads community and family education with "small hands and big hands". The school's initiation ceremony also invited old parents to wear red scarves for new members. At the same time, each parent also prepared a letter for their children, which described the changes brought by the reform and opening up to cities, communities and families, with profound implications and deep feelings.
The school strives to break down the classroom "barriers", promote cultural exchanges between China and the West, guide students to develop good moral quality, interpret the spirit of China, and show the elegance of China.
Shamian Island has the advantages of both western culture and Guangzhou Xiguan culture. The material features left over from the special historical background make the whole island have obvious geographical boundaries and cultural differences with the outside world, attracting tourists from all over the country. The school headquarters is located in it. Although the campus is small, its classrooms have entered various representative buildings and places on the island.
Guangzhou has always been a window for China's foreign exchange, especially since the reform and opening-up. Guangzhou will also play an important role in the country's construction of a new pattern of comprehensive opening-up with the focus on the "Belt and Road". The unique geographical location of the school is bound to undertake the corresponding educational mission and task. Compared with other schools, teachers and students here have more exercise opportunities and more exhibition space. Among the previous graduates, a group of outstanding talents have the experience of studying abroad, and they have gone to the world and returned to the motherland from here.
As a key art base in Guangzhou, the school has become a banner of Guangzhou education with its advanced school-running concept and excellent educational achievements. We have always been committed to cultivating Shamian students with "all-round development of sports art".
The school pays attention to oral English training in the national English curriculum, and the teaching design is as lively and scene-oriented as possible to help students overcome their fear of difficulties. The school offers a wealth of personalized English courses, including elementary and intermediate classes for foreign teachers' oral English, English speech and debate, elementary and intermediate classes for our world reading, and special classes for natural spelling, for students to choose freely. ?
While insisting on promoting Putonghua and strengthening the core literacy of English subjects, the school still does not forget to inherit and develop Cantonese, which bears the nostalgia of local accent-offering an elective course in Cantonese, involving the provincial intangible cultural heritage project of "Telling the Ancient in Cantonese". "Learning Cantonese can deepen the understanding of Lingnan culture, enhance local feelings, and it is also a way to accelerate integration into the local society, which will help the' new Guangzhou people' to take root and gain a foothold." As the representative of basic education in the old city of Guangzhou, Shamian Primary School's attempt fully embodies its responsibility and courage.
In addition, our school attaches great importance to nursery rhymes, poetry and drama as an important supplement to the national Chinese curriculum. Taking drama course as an example, we should adopt the promotion strategy of combining point with surface, innovate the organizational form of campus art festival, and promote "everyone has a play, everyone can go on stage, and the class is innovative" so that children can fully experience the fun of literature. "How to really make everyone have a play must be designed according to the age characteristics and abilities of children. The lower grade is dubbing, the middle grade is a textbook drama, and the upper grade is a creation sketch. " According to the introduction in charge of management, "I grew up with animation" was once the learning theme of 1-2 grade, dubbing classic anime characters; The learning theme of grades 3-4 is "flip through textbooks and perform brilliantly", and put the stories in textbooks on the stage; In grades 5-6, I tried to create a new drama with the learning theme of "welcoming the 19th National Congress and spreading positive energy". For each learning theme, a performance session will be set up, and the first prize, second prize and third prize will be decided on a class basis, and individual awards such as best actor, best actress, best green leaf actor, best parent actor and best modeling will be awarded. After a school year's "point" study, 100 young actors were selected to participate in the "face" study, that is, to co-star in a children's play, and professionals from professional institutions such as Guangdong Theatre were hired to guide the school.
The school has made great achievements in art and sports, and the campus choir won the "11 consecutive championships" in the Guangzhou primary and secondary school chorus competition; The language art team has won the highest prize in provincial and municipal competitions on behalf of Liwan District for many times. Dance companies have won numerous awards in previous city competitions; The orchestra won the first prize in the province and city, and wrote wonderful notes for the school! In sports, in addition to swimming, tennis, track and field and other traditional strengths, new events such as rhythmic gymnastics and diabolo are also being carried out. Combined with the one-hour exercise every day between school physical education classes, school sports meeting, "Little Dolphin" swimming competition and other sports and artistic features, these make Shamian students full of vitality and healthy sunshine!
The double-qualified classroom under the school class system belongs to the characteristics of Park Yue Wan Campus and absorbs the essence of education and teaching management in Europe and America. Other campuses are transitioning to multi-teacher cooperation based on curriculum integration, and more often, interdisciplinary teaching is prepared before class. When teachers can't answer students' questions, they need to automatically become learners, study and solve problems with students, and grow up with students. Only by inviting teachers to study can students gradually break the psychological wall, step into a deeper field of study and discover the world outside the textbook.
In the school, every teacher can offer shift courses according to his own artistic expertise, and the extra-long classes in some disciplines also implement shift system, extending the teaching time to 60-90 minutes. The "breaking the wall" across classes and campuses is based on Shamian Primary School treating every student fairly, promoting students with different talents, potentials, temperaments and personalities to get the fullest development, and also enabling every teacher to have the awareness and ability of self-development and strive to become a teacher that students need and a teacher that students like.
The future-oriented "new collaboration" means that schools need to break down more walls. Therefore, we advocate embracing the future positively, optimistically and bravely, and every teacher, student and parent should be involved. Administratively, the four schools are linked and work together, and they are different in harmony. Each campus has different positioning and characteristics. In teaching and research, the school attaches importance to the "mentoring" under the pairing of the old, the young and the middle.
Here, the "Collaboration Cup" teaching competition is held every academic year. Although different academic years have their own themes, teachers are encouraged to explore new teaching models boldly in the design of rules and strive for a win-win situation in the competition. The establishment of collaborative teacher workshops and other organizations aims to maximize the leading role of key teachers in each campus, create more effective collective discussion space, and stimulate the sunshine and vitality of young teachers in each campus; At the same time, there will be an appropriate rotation of teachers between campuses, and teachers returning from study will be regularly organized to share, so that flowers outside the wall can float into the wall.
In the development and innovation of "Internet plus era", under the guidance of the concept of "the integration of two western countries to achieve a far-reaching goal", we have broken the wall of thinking and realized that wisdom is in our minds and technology is in our hands, and we are always at the forefront of educational reform. The school has become the first batch of first-class schools in Guangdong Province, the first batch of scholarly campuses in Guangdong Province, the sports characteristic school in Guangdong Province, and the first "children's language art experimental base" in Guangzhou.
In the future, we will continue to move forward on the road of pursuing educational modernization, be brave in pioneering and exploring, pursue for the self-development of every child, and strut for the education suitable for every child!
