Puxi Grade 1: Chinese Ancient Poems Carnival

The Chinese Poem Carnival is the most exciting activity during Chinese Culture Week for all the first graders in SHSID. All the teachers and students have put so much effort into this activity. The Chinese teachers selected fifteen ancient Chinese poems in advance and all the students spent about one month understanding and reciting these poems before this activity.

The Ancient Chinese Poems Carnival was held in Chinese class on April 27th. It was divided into six segments. The students were encouraged to sing several songs using one of the fifteen poems as the lyrics. The students were also required to choose the correct sentence according to the picture given. The students needed to be familiar with both the poems’ meaning and the emotions contained deep inside the poems.

The children really enjoyed this activity, and were interested in the poems. Many students told their teachers that they have learned and recited a lot more Chinese ancient poems recently. Hopefully this is just the first step on a long literary journey!
