As a part of our Chinese language learning, in order to allow students to experience traditional Chinese culture and arouse their interest in Chinese culture and Chinese language, collaborating with Confucius Classroom teachers, our school organises a variety of Chinese culture experience workshops for students to explore during their lunch time on every Wednesday. Students are immersed in various Chinese cultural activities which include Chinese calligraphy, Chinese paper cutting, Chinese ink painting, Chinese martial arts, and other Chinese art craft making.
This Wednesday (on 11th May) our school has organised a Chinese calligraphy activity. Although it was the first time for Camp Hill Primary School to have a Chinese calligraphy workshop during lunch time, students were excited and showed great interest and enthusiasm to participate. During the workshop, the teacher first introduced the origin of Chinese characters and the significance of Shufa (Chinese calligraphy) in Chinese cultures, and showing how to properly hold a Chinese brush pen and how to write some basic strokes of Chinese characters. After explanation, the students started to practice writing Chinese characters with Chinese brush pen. All of them were amazed by the “magic paper” (a special cloth paper using only water to write) and the beauty of Chinese calligraphy. At the end of the workshop, they were so proud that they can write Chinese characters with Chinese brush pen. All students had enormous fun in learning about Chinese calligraphy and practicing writing Chinese calligraphy, and this was just the very beginning of our Chinese culture experience workshops. Come and join us next Wednesday. In term 2, 2016, our schedule for Chinese culture experience workshops is as below: 11th May Chinese calligraphy 18th May Chinese calligraphy 25th May Chinese calligraphy 1st June Chinese paper cutting 8th June Chinese knot making 15th June Chinese Kungfu – Tai Chi 为了让学生们更好的体验中国传统文化的博大精深并唤起他们对学习中国文化和汉语的热情,作为中文教学的一部分,我们学校与孔子汉语课堂的老师展开了紧密的合作,于每周三的中午午餐时段,共同组织了一系列的中华文化体验课程。学生们沉浸在各种各样的文化体验活动当中,这些活动包括了书法,剪纸,水墨画,中华武术和其它中国手工艺品的鉴赏和创作。 5月11日,我们学校组织了一场书法活动。尽管这是我们学校第一次在午餐时间开展书法推广活动,学生们仍然为之感到兴奋,并展示了极其浓厚的学习兴趣和参与的热情。 在文化体验课上,我们的老师首先介绍了汉字的起源和书法在中国文化中的显著地位。在向学生们示范了如何握毛笔之后,老师还指导学生书写一些基本的笔画。此后,学生开始独立用毛笔练习书法。有学生从点、横、竖、撇、捺开始练笔,有些学生则是从一写到十,更加令人感动的是有个一年级的初学者居然无师自通,写下了上厕所三个大字。这天,无论他们写下什么汉字或者笔画,他们都已经被水写布的“魔力”和书法的“魅力”所征服了。他们为自己能写下他们人生中的第一个毛笔字感到无比的骄傲。所有的学生都在这个文化体验中得到了极大的乐趣,可喜的是,这只是我们这个文化体验课的开始,我们深信以后会有越来越多的学生参与到我们的活动当中。 Comments are closed.
