Puxi Campus G6: The Animal Kingdom Through Tiny Lenses — Sixth Grade Creative Wildlife Park Photography Contest

April 21, 2025

In the Season of All Things Growing, the sixth-grade students embarked on a unique journey of natural exploration under the guidance of their teachers—a Creative Photography Contest at the Wildlife Park. This event was not merely a simple off-campus visit but a thematic study feast that perfectly combined ecological education, artistic creation, and the pleasures of spring.


In the herbivore area, the sound of "click! click!" filled the air like a joyous symphony. As they moved to the fierce animal zone, the school bus instantly transformed into a mobile photography studio. Students pressed closely against the windows, capturing the agile figures of Bengal tigers playing in the water; when the lion king yawned with its mouth wide open, exclamations and laughter intertwined, showcasing the students' innocent curiosity and love for nature.


The animal theatre at Sun Square became a source of creative inspiration. The nimble postures of golden monkeys walking on high wires, and the dazzling tail feathers of macaws gliding through the air, were all turned into hundreds of ingenious shots by the students. Some captured flamingos' reflections as ink paintings, while others used slow shutter speeds to create dreamlike effects of bears wandering around.


From ninety-eight finalists' works, those truly touching scenes were selected through the enthusiastic voting of all teachers and students, winning honors such as the Golden Lens Award, Most Creative Award, Most Popular Award, and Best Animal Performance Award. The list of winners and their works is as follows:

Through this photography contest, students not only captured the beauty of nature through their lenses but also left behind many wonderful group photos with teachers and team members during the event, recording moments of easy interaction between teachers and students and the joyful atmosphere of teamwork.




When students learned to converse with nature through their lenses, seeds about life education and aesthetic enlightenment had quietly sprouted in the spring light. This growth course outside the classroom not only left behind more than a hundred images full of childlike fun but also made each student a storyteller of nature. Those flickering sparks of life in the viewfinder would ultimately crystallize into a profound understanding of the spirituality of all things—growing in the spring breeze, blooming towards nature.
