Although children in rural areas have the natural geographical advantage of being in nature, they are not accompanied by their parents. In addition, the older generation has no knowledge of parenting. Children generally spend their rest time on electronic products, and gradually lose contact with nature, losing their sensitivity to subtle changes in grass and trees and their strong curiosity about nature.
How can rural children and adults re-establish contact with nature, and understand, identify and inherit the local power bred in nature?
On September 1 1, Sany Foundation joined hands with nature education instructors to bring the first vivid parent-child lesson of nature education to parents and children in the village-Hello Nature!
The teacher took us across the grass, high jump, ridge and small bridge, and the science class began!
Children say hello to all things in nature and friends around them, and start a new day with joy.
Singing, exploring, treasure hunting, discussing ... fun natural games make ordinary leaves have personality and ordinary fruits show uniqueness.
Children are divided into six groups. They look for natural treasures with treasure cards: looking for leaves with different smells, small animals with two legs, four legs and eight legs, fruits and seeds ... Treasure hunting not only tests children's keen discovery ability, but also emphasizes teamwork.
The children rushed to introduce the leaves and fruits of various plants they found, and each group enthusiastically explored the results with PK.
In the process of treasure hunting, children fully mobilize the five senses of smell, sight, hearing, touch and taste, and the teacher encourages children to freely express and describe the "treasure" they have found.
"We found the leaves with thorns. Be careful, it hurts!
We found blue flowers and green seeds!
We found black feathers and hens!
We have crushed bees!
……"
A 3-year-old girl who came to the activity with her grandmother found a perilla leaf. She told the teacher, "This is so special!" The teacher asked: What's the matter? She said, "It smells so special! It feels so special! I want to keep this leaf until my mother comes back! "
The children's observation is not only keen and meticulous, but also their feelings for themselves and their thoughts for their mothers, which makes this nature trip particularly precious.
Grandma Xiao is also very happy to have this opportunity to take her children out to play. "I usually take my children at home, and children always play mobile phones. This activity also allows her to communicate with other children. We adults can also sit down and talk, and the relationship is better! "
Liu Yiping's little sister is very happy. All the flowers she didn't know before now know their names. She also brought a fruit she found home to plant. She said, "I will always remember what I learned today."
Nature is the best teacher, and being close to nature will benefit children for life.
With the development of nature education, people return to nature. Children observe nature and hometown with immature, keen and curious eyes, and gain a sense of attachment and identity to their hometown. Teachers' words and deeds also make the relationship between parents and children more harmonious and intimate.
In the parent-child camp of Daotong Nature Education, parents and children walk into the wilderness together, feel autumn, winter and early spring from a natural perspective, and open the door to nature.
