Pudong Campus | A Field Trip is Always the Best！

Studies show that childhood play is beneficial to develop students’ motor skills, such as walking, running, and coordination. Playing in challenging recreational facilities can stimulate students’ creativity, imaginations, executive function, and teamwork skills. On April 29, the first, second, and third grade students went to Baoyan Paradise to explore and have fun! The recreational facilities provided them with a great chance to show and improve their different skills. Research also shows that field trips are crucial in helping students develop hands-on experiences, deepening their understanding of culture, and preparing them for the future. While the lower graders were playing in Baoyan, the fourth and fifth grade students went to Shanghai Great World to experience the special culture of old-time Shanghai.

1. Exploring the Secrets of the Playground.

The students from first to third grade enjoyed everything in the indoor playground. They had so much fun with the slides, trampolines, climbing, etc. The students shared their experiences and learned from each other to keep balance better, jump higher, and climb farther. Students enjoyed every single minute in the park!

 

2. Feeling the Culture of Old-time Shanghai.

The fourth and fifth grade students felt the fascinating culture at Shanghai Great World. The students visited home models to see how people lived in 70s. Then they were impressed by the craftsmanship and the exquisite handcrafts, such as clay sculptures, sugar-molds, and Chinese shadow puppets. After lunch, they enjoyed a magic show, and had a fun time in the carnival mirror house.

Both of these field trips not only allowed students to relax after the midterm exams, but also powered them with more energy for the second half semester!

研究显示: 游戏行为有益于儿童动作技能等方面的提高和促进，比如行走、奔跑、以及协调性。一些有挑战性的娱乐设施还可促进儿童的创造力、想象力、执行力、以及团队协作能力。4月29日，浦东校区一至三年级的同学们来到了“宝燕乐园”探索其中的秘密。乐园中的娱乐设施为同学们提供了展现和提高动作技能以及团队协作等能力的机会。另有研究指出户外探究对于促进学生实践动手能力起着至关重要的作用，不仅可以深化学生对文化的感知，还可以让他们准备好面对未来生活中的挑战。当低年级的弟弟妹妹在游乐场释放能量时，四五年级学生来到了充满上海风情的“大世界”来感受老上海的文化风情。

探索乐园的秘密

一至三年级的同学们享受着乐园中的一切。滑梯、蹦床、攀爬等

游戏让同学们玩得不亦乐乎。同学们在玩的同时也在交流经验，你教我怎么攀登到顶峰，我教你如何在过独木桥时保持平衡。每个同学都酣畅淋漓，享受着游戏带来的欢乐。

感受老上海的情调

四五年级的同学们在“大上海”领略着上海特殊的文化底蕴。同学们参观了“弄堂人家”，体验了70年代的人们是如何生活的。随后同学们被捏泥人、皮影戏、吹糖人等精湛的民间手艺和匠人精神所折服，不断称赞前人的智慧。午饭过后，同学们欣赏了魔术表演，并在哈哈镜屋中尽情欢笑。

期中后的春游既可以让同学们放松精神，调节心情，更是让同学们攒足精神，迎接下半学期的挑战！
