Pudong Campus: We love Chinese Culture Week!

April 29, 2019

From April 22 to April 26, all the students at Pudong campus celebrated Chinese Culture Week, an annual tradition at SHSID that allows students to gain insight into the charm of Chinese culture. Everyone actively took part in all kinds of activities as Chinese culture learner, explorer and disseminator. Let’s look back on the highlights of this week and enjoy the delightful moments!

Grade One: The Forbidden City

The first graders familiarized themselves with the Forbidden City, the greatest traditional imperial architecture in China. They read stories and poems and even made handcrafts relating to this beautiful imperial palace.

Grade Two: The Twenty-Four Solar Terms

The second graders learned about the traditional twenty-four solar terms and had lots of fun activities such as painting fans, singing songs and taking videos. Their fantastic artwork won our great admiration.

Grade Three: Beautiful Chinese Poetry

In the classrooms of grade three students, there was a strong poetic atmosphere. Students recited ancient Chinese poems in different dialects of Chinese and made delicate and poetic works with pictures and music, sharing and experiencing the beauty of Chinese language and poetry.

Grade Four: Chinese Traditional Activities

The fourth graders explored the mystery of the Qin Dynasty by watching a film about the Terracotta Warriors. Students also had the chance to experience the fun of Chinese paper-cutting, hand-painting kites, and drinking Chinese tea, which help them cultivate a strong interest of traditional Chinese culture.

On April 23, all the students visited the Zhendan Museum to explore various Chinese antiquities. And the Chinese Poetry Competition on April 25 was the highlight of the entire week, and teachers were overjoyed to see that students had learned so much in such a short time! Chinese Culture Week has come to a successful end, and everyone enjoyed this event. We expect students continue to explore the profound Chinese culture in the future!
