Xiamen Cai Ying primary school department

On the beautiful Jiutian Lake in Xinglin Bay, there is a garden-style school, which is the famous Xiamen Cai Ying School in China. In the summer vacation of 2006, the author visited the primary school of Cai Ying School of Xiamen University with admiration and curiosity, and everything he saw and heard was amazing and moving.

Although I heard the names of talented people many years ago, I was surprised to see them at first sight today. From the moment I stepped into the school gate, fairy-tale buildings, brand-new plastic runways and beautiful swimming pools deeply attracted my attention. Climbing up 60 steps, pink buildings, green paths, exquisite sculptures and rows of standard tables set off colorful flowers, forming a veritable "Xiamen Garden School".

According to the department leaders, the total investment of the school is more than 300 million yuan. Only primary schools have 19875 square meters, 30 classes and nearly a thousand students. There are special rooms such as demonstration hall, network room, language lab, broadcasting room, laboratory, science and technology room, pottery room, calligraphy room, music room, art room, English situation room, psychological consultation room and book bar. Students can say that elite schools do their best to create a paradise for children to study and live.

"Characteristic" is the aim that Cai Ying schools have been pursuing for ten years, and it is also the highlight that distinguishes Cai Ying primary schools from other schools. Here, we see too many characteristics, such as characteristic posts (such as deputy head teachers), characteristic courses, characteristic activities, characteristic systems, characteristic students, characteristic teachers ... It is this word "special" that has created the strong educational pattern of primary schools in Cai Ying today.

Among them, the biggest feature is the diversified curriculum system. In primary schools in Cai Ying, there are compulsory courses such as Chinese, mathematics, English, nature, physical education, fine arts, music, physique, calligraphy, pottery, computer, thinking, social and mental health education. Among them, some of them are unified courses issued by the state and the province, while calligraphy, pottery, physical fitness and mental health education are characteristic courses offered by Yingcai Primary School. Among them, calligraphy, pottery and body building textbooks have been published and put into use, all of which are equipped with modern special rooms. At the same time, primary schools have also introduced professional psychological counselors, established a "primary school psychological consultation room", established students' psychological investigation files, and carried out a series of publicity, consultation and practical activities of mental health education.

In Cai Ying Primary School, they never miss any courses. There are many teachers in any subject, and there is no shortage of any equipment. All the software and hardware are readily available. Especially in English teaching, in many places, there is a shortage of teachers, many of whom are non-professional. Many schools can only start classes in the third and fourth grades, with only one class and two classes a week. Cai Ying Primary School hired professional English teachers from all over the country, and arranged five class hours every week. And through cooperation with international schools, open oral English classes for foreign teachers, and strive to create a good English learning environment and build a first-class English teaching platform.

According to the leaders of Cai Ying Primary School, up to now, in addition to the above dozens of compulsory courses, the primary school has also developed 46 school-based elective courses under the guidance of Shanghai East China Normal University, including humanities, art and sports, information and future scientists, future entrepreneurs and so on. , has been screened, integrated and printed into the first and second volumes of Beauty on the Road and officially put into use. The development and operation of school-based curriculum provides a colorful cultural feast for every child, which has been highly appreciated by many experts and peers and has become another beautiful characteristic landscape of elite primary schools.

In 2006, under the guidance of experts from China Normal University, Cai Ying Primary School will further integrate and optimize the existing curriculum, make the compulsory courses more solid and the elective courses more prominent, and make every effort to build a new curriculum system with more characteristics and taste.

If you want to ask me, "What is the brand of Cai Ying Primary School?" I will tell you without thinking-"art education". I'm afraid people who know talent will say so. Indeed, no one can deny that Cai Ying primary school has made outstanding achievements in art education in the past ten years: it won the first prize of Xiamen "Ludaohua" literary performance for five consecutive years; Won the double gold medal in the creation and performance of the national children's dance competition for five consecutive times; Four performances in Beijing, the dance "Kissing Football" and "Couples Getting Fun" participated in the CCTV campus Spring Festival Gala and Qu Yuan's gossip recording; The dance "The Soul of Silkworm" won the first prize in Xiamen Middle School Student Dance Competition; Sweet Dream won the first place in the second Children's TV Dance Competition in Fujian Province. I won the first and second prizes in the National Children's Art Calligraphy Competition for four years in a row, and won the gold medal in the national and provincial painting and calligraphy competitions 10 1 person ... Through the glittering trophies, wonderful painting and calligraphy works and dance performances, I felt a strong artistic impact, which shocked my soul so violently, and seemed to recall my artistic dreams left in my childhood.

The reason why art education in primary schools has made such great achievements is that they have a group of excellent teachers like Wei, and they also benefit from all-round and distinctive art centers and student art troupes. The Art Troupe has set up more than a dozen professional groups, including wind music, folk music, chorus, dance, piano calligraphy, Chinese painting, printmaking, computer painting and pottery, and each group is equipped with professional coaches and special classrooms. Especially the 3,577-square-meter art center building. Stepping into it, you will feel as if you are in the palace of art, surrounded by wonderful melody and intangible artistic beauty. Excellent student art troupe can have such fruitful results, I don't know how many teachers and students have condensed their wisdom and hard work! If you have the opportunity to approach Mr. Wei, the artistic director of the Student Art Troupe, you will be moved by his thoughts, talents and people. "I think my greatest happiness is to choose my favorite children's dance education." Teacher Wei's words conveyed the talents' persistence and love for art, and art has been integrated into the classroom and outside, affecting campus culture and becoming the first brand of gifted primary schools.

"Cultivate love with love, so that every child can be the best of himself." This is a slogan hanging on the teaching building of primary school, and it is also the expectation of principal Lu for the orientation of the school, the requirements for teachers and the expectations for children. The reason why Cai Ying primary schools can develop into today's good situation is precisely because there are a group of the best teachers who devote their love wholeheartedly to talents and children.

When we walked into the auditorium of Cai Ying Primary School, we were deeply attracted by the wall of "Top Ten Primary School Teachers in Cai Ying". Dozens of outstanding teachers from all provinces and cities in China gathered together. They have ten years of outstanding veterans, who have just joined the teaching field: two national outstanding teachers, five provincial academic leaders, more than a dozen provincial and municipal backbone teachers, many provincial and municipal outstanding class teachers and outstanding young teachers. They have not only made remarkable achievements in their own jobs, but also made great contributions to the growth of gifted primary schools.

During the conversation, we learned that President Lu was the teacher who won the first prize in the National Reading Teaching Competition in 2004. I couldn't help but hold her hand excitedly: "That's amazing, Principal Lu! It is worthy of being a famous teacher! " "Nothing! You see, these are excellent teachers in our department and some achievements made this year. " Ah, we were shocked once again, and a rich wall of "Primary School Teaching Achievements Exhibition" came into view: "Lu won the first prize in the 2003 Xiamen Primary School Chinese Teaching Competition; Cheng Ken, the first prize of "I grew up with the curriculum reform" speech contest in Xiamen in 2003; Mei Liping, the first prize of the multimedia Chinese courseware exhibition for primary schools in Xiamen in 2003; Zhao Jie, the first prize of Xiamen Mathematics Teaching Competition in 2003; Li Yingjuan won the first prize in Xiamen Primary School Chinese Teaching Competition in 2004; Zheng, the first prize of mathematics teaching observation in Fujian Province in 2005; Seven students won the first prize in the national composition competition; Won five gold medals in Fujian and Xiamen science and technology competitions; I have published 38 articles in the CN journal ... "I am really too busy to read, and the limited space can only accommodate the tip of the iceberg. Ten years of wind and rain, accompanied by hard exploration, talents have left many fruits.

People say: "To run a school well, there must be three things: construction, teachers and great love." There are not only famous teachers from all over the world in elite schools, but also fairy tale campuses with an investment of more than 3 billion yuan and an area of more than 250 mu, including modern information technologies such as campus network, campus TV station and all-multimedia classrooms. The teaching and living facilities are complete, providing a first-class environment for children's eating, living and learning activities. What is more reassuring is that their life teachers and teaching teachers have a high sense of responsibility. No matter when and where, they are guided by the concept of "all for children, all for children", and they are the tutors of children's learning, their parents in life and their healthy growth.

It is precisely because of the excellent environment, excellent teachers and persistent pursuit and love for education that this excellent primary school has achieved remarkable success one after another and has been widely praised by more and more social people and parents. We have reason to believe and eagerly look forward to greater progress in the next decade.
