2023-2024学年CAS活动之旅（一）——走近青岛“同行之家”特殊教育实践基地

在国际文凭组织（International Baccalaureate，简称IB）的教育体系中，CAS（Creativity, Activity, Service）是一个至关重要的组成部分，它旨在培养学生在创造力、活动参与和社会服务等方面有长足的发展。CAS中的创造力（Creativity）鼓励学生发挥想象力和创新力，通过艺术、设计、科学等形式来表达自己；活动参与（Activity）强调学生参与活动的重要性，同时培养他们的团队合作精神和领导能力；社会服务（Service）是CAS中最具教育意义的一环，它鼓励学生关注社会问题，积极参与社区服务，为他人提供帮助和支持，由此培养学生的同理心、责任感和公民意识。

CAS (Creativity, Activity, Service) is a key component of the International Baccalaureate (IB), which aims to foster the holistic development of students in the areas of creativity, activity, and service to the community. Creativity encourages students to use their imagination and innovation to express themselves through art, design, science, and other forms; Activity emphasizes the importance of students' participation in sports, and at the same time develops their teamwork and leadership skills; and Service is the most educationally significant part of 

CAS, which encourages students to pay attention to social issues, actively participate in community services, and provide help and support to others, thus cultivating their empathy, sense of responsibility and civic awareness.

CAS不仅是对学术课程的有益补充，更是培养学生成为终身学习者、积极参与者和负责任公民的重要途径，通过实践帮助学生更好地认识自己、了解社会、融入世界，为未来的挑战做好准备。

CAS is not only a useful supplement to academic programs, but also an important way to prepare students to become lifelong learners, active participants and responsible citizens. This hands-on education helps students to

 better understand themselves, community and the world, and to be prepared for the challenges of the future.

复旦附中国际部一向注重CAS活动的实践性，与我校践行的全人教育理念保持一致。每一届11年级学生都会走出校园，用一星期的时间参加CAS社区服务活动。今年，学生们兵分两路，前往福建前洋村与山东青岛开展活动。其中和青岛“同行之家”特殊教育实践基地的合作已经进入到了第九个年头。在今日的推送中，我们将首先分享同学们青岛之旅的所思所得。

Fudan International School has always emphasized the implementation of CAS activities, as it is in line with the school's philosophy of holistic education. Almost every year, a group of G11 students spend a week out of Shanghai participating in CAS community service activities. This year, students were divided into two groups and went  to Qianyang Village, Fujian and Qingdao, Shandong respectively. And 

this is the 9th year that the FDIS students have visited the Home of Tongxing in Qingdao. In today’s post, we will first share with you the Qingdao team’s experiences and reflections.

在出行前的几个月里，11年级的同学们就已经开始了紧张而有序的准备：他们去上海的特殊教育中心了解情况，以便融入特殊孩子们的生活；他们定期举办义卖，筹集善款，为“同行之家”购买地垫；他们精心设计知识性课程及益智类活动帮助“同行之家”的孩子们进步；他们不定期开启云课堂协商分工合作，思考可以做哪些工作改善孩子们的生活环境......带着善款与教具，满怀兴奋与期待，他们开启了走近“同行之家”的CAS之旅。

In the months leading up to the trip, the 11th graders had already begun their intense and orderly preparations: they went to a special education center in Shanghai to learn about the similar situations; they sold silk scarves, coffee, postcards and other items in order to raise money to replace tiles for Tongxing; they carefully designed intellectual lessons and educational activities to help the children of Tongxing make progress; 

they opened a cloud classroom from time to time to discuss how to work togehter; they thought about what they could do to improve the children's living environment. With the donation and teaching aids, full of excitement and expectation, the students boarded the plane to Qingdao on May 19th.

一进入“同行之家”的大门，就见到负责人许校长忙碌的身影，他向我们简单介绍了“同行之家”的生活环境和特殊学生的情况。这里的教学设施相对齐全，生活环境简单整洁。特殊学生有20多个，年龄段在8岁到26岁之间。小组长Candy与Donna在了解情况后，也信心满满地说明了早已计划好的教学与活动安排。大家已经分好小组，准备给学生们带来汉语课、英语课、数学课、绘画课、体育课等课程，同时进行换地垫、刷墙、清洗椅凳等工作。

As soon as we entered Tongxing, we met the busy principal, Mr. Xu, who briefly introduced to us the living environment of Tongxing and the situation of the special students. The teaching facilities here are relatively complete, and the living environment is simple and clean. There are more than 20 special students, aged between 8 and 26. After learning about the details, Candy and Donna, the team leaders, also explained the teaching and 

activity arrangements they had planned confidently. They have already divided into groups and are ready to bring Chinese, English, math, drawing and physical education classes to the children, as well as changing floor tiles, painting walls, and cleaning chairs and stools.

不一会儿，当地学生们就陆续进入教室。起初“小老师们”还因不知如何跟他们交流而略显局促不安，在简单的试探之后，他们发现这些孩子充满善意，虽会遇到语言表达不畅的现象，但加上肢体语言和眼神示意，就能让彼此懂得对方心意，大家逐渐找到了最合适的交流方式。

Soon after, the local students entered the classroom one after another. At first, our "little teachers" were still a little uneasy because they did not know how to communicate with them, but after a brief trial, they found that these children are full of goodwill, although they may

encounter poor verbal expression, but with the addition of body language and eye contact, they can let each other understand feelings, and they gradually found a way to communicate with them in a way that is suitable for them.

第一节汉语课（记录者：G11 Candy）

Donna在白板上写下拼音的声母和韵母，并带领同学们读了声母。为了增加互动性，Joseph邀请学生上台写自己的名字拼音并高亮了声母。接着，Levi带大家读韵母，并完成了音节的组合与拼读。我们从最基本的汉字出发，写下我们的名字，请学生来标注拼音。设计这个环节的初衷是希望他们在学习拼音的基础之上增进彼此了解。后来，我们发现确实有用，第三天就有学生能完整写出我们的名字，大家都很激动。

The First Chinese lesson - G11 Candy

Donna wrote down the pinyin consonants and rhymes on the whiteboard and led the class in reading the consonants. To make it more interactive, Joseph invited the students to come up to the stage to write their names in Pinyin and note the consonants. Levi then led the class in reading the rhyming letters and completing the syllable combinations and spellings. We started with the most basic Chinese characters, writing our 

names and inviting students to label the pinyin. This session was designed with the hope that they would get to know each other better on top of learning pinyin. It turned out to be very useful, and we were all thrilled to have students who could write our names in full on the third day.

下一个环节是想通过玩游戏的方式掌握拼音规则，寓教于乐。没想到我们尝试之后，才发现这个游戏难度有点大，带队老师Ms. Jing灵机一动，让台下学生给“青”、“包”和“少”等字加偏旁，组成新字，我们瞬间心领神会，调整战略，不一会儿，台上台下“师生”们一起就贡献了不少新字。下课后，同学们还意犹未尽，不愿离去，并对“分”、“且”等字进行了扩展。Ronnie、Nagomi等同学表现出了极大的耐心与学生积极互动，大家为他们的精彩表现点赞。我也没想到“临时救场”的活动起到了很好的破冰效果，这也为我们之后的《咏鹅》《水调歌头》等诗歌教学起到了很好的铺垫作用。

The next session was to learn the rules of pinyin by playing a game, which was fun and educational. However, after trying it out, we realized that the game was a bit too difficult, so the lead teacher, Ms. Jing, had the bright idea of asking the students to add radicals to the characters "青" , "包" , and "少" , so that they could form a new character. We instantly understood and adjusted our strategies, and in a short while, the "teachers and students" on and off the stage together contributed a lot of 

new words. After the class ended, the students were still eager to learn more and expanded on the words "分" and "且" etc. Ronnie, Nagomi, and other students showed great patience and interacted with the students. Kudos to them for their wonderful performance. I didn't expect the "temporary rescue" activity to have a good ice-breaking effect, and it paved the way for the future teaching of poems such as "The Winging Goose" and " Song of Water Tune".

第三天的英语课（记录者：G11 Anna）

课堂一开始，我们先复习了上节课关于情绪表达的英语词汇，利用精心设计的小游戏，在互动中加深了学生们对各种情绪词汇的记忆与理解，如“情感猜猜看”。设计这些活动的最初想法是鼓励他们在日常生活中更好地识别与表达自己的情感，从而促进情感智能的发展。

The English Class on Day 3 - G11 Anna

At the beginning of the class, Jessica, Viktor and I reviewed the English vocabulary of the previous lesson on emotional expression, and utilized carefully designed games, such as "Emotion Guessing", to deepen the students' memory and understanding of various emotional vocabulary in an interactive way.

The initial idea of designing these activities was to encourage them to better recognize and express their emotions in daily life, thus promoting the development of emotional intelligence.

随后，我们一起复习了两首英文儿歌：“BINGO”和“Itsy Bitsy Spider”。伴随着轻快的节奏，孩子们一边拍手一边歌唱，甚至随着歌词内容做出相应的手势动作，这样的全身参与让学习变得生动有趣，教室里充满了欢声笑语。紧接着，我们引入了一首全新的儿歌—“London Bridge is Falling Down”。在同学们的带领下，大家纷纷站起身来，模拟桥体摇晃的样子，通过肢体动作加深了对歌词情景的理解。

Afterwards, we reviewed two English children's songs: "BINGO" and "Itsy Bitsy Spider". Along with the rhythm of the songs, the children clapped and sang along with the lyrics and even made gestures accordingly, which made learning lively and interesting with the participation of the whole body, and the classroom was filled with laughter. Next, we introduced a brand new children's song - "London Bridge is Falling Down". Led 

by the students, we stood up and simulated the swaying of the bridge, deepening our understanding of the lyrics through physical movements.

现在回想起来，我们还是很有成就感的。因为来这里的第一天，我们的英语课差点由于“不适合学生的理解水平”被取消，而我们当即根据学生的情况做了“因材施教”的调整。他们的表现真的太棒了。

Looking back, we still feel a sense of accomplishment. On our first day here, our English class was almost cut because it was considered “not matching the students’ 

level of comprehension,” so we immediately made adjustments according to the students' situation, and they were really great.

除了汉语课与英语课外，“小老师们”还精心安排了数学课、体育课、绘画课、电影赏析等课程，在陪伴的同时，他们根据学生的接受能力传授与他们相应的知识点。Ms Ellie老师还带大朋友小朋友们一起跳《兔子舞》和《柠檬树》，场面非常可爱。无论是他们操场上奔驰的身影，还是作画时那份专注的神情，亦或是数学计算时凝思的时刻，我们都不难看出，他们是多么地投入与热爱啊！

In addition to Chinese and English classes, the "Little Teachers" also carefully arranged math classes, physical education classes, drawing classes, movie appreciation, etc. They accompany and teach them the appropriate knowledge based on their levels. Ms. Ellie also took the children and adults to dance with the 

"Bunny Dance" and "Lemon Tree" – the scene was really cute. Whether it was running on the playground, drawing, or doing math, it was easy to see how much they love it!

当然，课余时间的益智类活动也是丰富多彩的，折纸，拼高达，玩魔方，捏超轻粘土，玩“找朋友”的游戏等都很受欢迎。当大家一起唱《莫斯科郊外的晚上》这首歌时，国际部副主任全正姬老师也积极投入到和学生互动的环节中，这份温情陪伴真令人感动。

Of course, there were also a lot of educational activities after school. We sang the song "A Night Outside Moscow" together, and Ms. Caroline Quan, the Deputy Director of FDIS, accompanied us on the piano when she came to Qingdao to visit us from her busy

schedule. We also folded paper, assembled models, played Rubik's Cube, kneaded ultralight clay, played the game of “finding friends”, and so on and so forth. This warm companionship is really touching.

服务活动贵在真诚。“小老师们”利用午休的时间进行劳动，他们不怕苦不怕累，展现出了复旦附中国际部学子应有的精神风貌。大家先后连着三天换地垫、洗椅凳、刷墙，并在墙上画画写字，美化环境的同时留下自己的“杰作”，格外骄傲。有的小组还尝试了帮厨活动，比如剥葱蒜，切姜丝，切西瓜等，大家都体会到了做饭的不易。在劳动的场景中，两位热情的带队老师与全体同学共同挥洒汗水，干劲十足，仿佛一场火热的竞赛。许校长不仅慷慨地提供了油漆材料，还贴心地准备了美味的下午茶点，为大家补充能量。更令人感动的是，一些“同行之家”的学生舍弃了午休的时间，也毫不犹豫地加入了这个劳动的大家庭，师生们齐心协力，共同为“同行之家”的明天添砖加瓦，希望它变得更加美好。

If you want to do a service activity, do it well. The "Little Teachers" took the lunch break to do the labor, they were not afraid of hard work, showing the spirit of Fudan International School students. They changed tiles, washed chairs and stools, painted walls, and drew and wrote on the walls for three days in a row, leaving their own "masterpieces" while beautifying the environment proudly. Some groups also tried to help with cooking activities, such as peeling green onions and garlic, cutting gingers, cutting watermelons, etc., and all of them realized how difficult it is to cook. During the working time, the two enthusiastic lead teachers and all the students sweated together with great energy, as if they were in a hot race. 

Principal Xu not only generously provided painting materials, but also thoughtfully prepared delicious afternoon refreshments to replenish everyone's energy. What was even more touching was that some local students gave up their lunch breaks and joined this big family of laborers without hesitation. Teachers and students worked together to build the future of Tongxing in the hope that it would become even more beautiful.

为了纪念大家共度的美好时光，我们和青岛两地学生进行了一场别开生面的歌曲汇报演出。当地学生首先声情并茂地演唱了汉语课上学会的《咏鹅》与《水调歌头》。随后，英语组的同学们一起热情洋溢地唱了三首英文儿歌：《BINGO》、《Itsy Bitsy Spider》、《London Bridge is Falling Down》。最后，全体师生一起演唱了《找朋友》、《送别》、《复旦大学校歌》、《如果感到幸福你就拍拍手》等歌曲，众人汇聚一堂，歌声与舞步交织成一幅生动的画面。在欢声笑语中，掌声此起彼伏，每个人的脸上都洋溢着温暖的微笑。这一刻，时间仿佛放慢了脚步，静静地停留在这片洋溢着浓厚友谊与幸福的空间之中，每个人都沉醉在这份难得的欢乐与温馨中。

To commemorate the time spent together, the students from Shanghai and Qingdao gave a special performance of songs. The local students first sang "The Winging Goose" and "Song of Water Tune", which they had learned in their Chinese lessons. Afterwards, the English group sang three English children's songs: "BINGO", "Itsy Bitsy Spider" and "London Bridge is Falling Down" with great enthusiasm. Finally, all the teachers and students sang "Finding Friends", "Farewell", "Anthem of Fudan University", "If You’re Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands", etc. The crowds gathered together, and the songs and  

dances intertwined into a vivid picture. In the midst of laughter and applause, everyone's face was filled with warm smiles. At this moment, time seemed to have slowed down and stayed quietly in this space full of friendship and happiness, intoxicating people with this rare joy and warmth.

随着青岛CAS活动渐入尾声，同学们心中满是不舍与眷恋，与那些纯真善良、充满温暖的孩子们依依惜别。尽管深知他们的人生道路并非一帆风顺，但我们坚信，“同行之家”给予他们的那份安全感与温暖将成为他们前行的力量，永远伴随着他们。我们将持续关注这些如星星般闪耀的孩子们，竭尽全力为他们提供帮助与支持，祈愿“同行之家”能够持续繁荣，成为孩子们心中的避风港湾，为他们遮风挡雨，陪伴他们茁壮成长。

As the CAS trip in Qingdao drew to a close, the students felt nostalgic, bidding farewell to those innocent, kind, and warm children. Although we know that their life path will not be smooth all the time, we firmly believe that the sense of security and warmth given to them by Tongxing will be their strength to move forward, and will always be hem from the wind and rain and accompanying them to grow strongly.

with them. We will continue to be with these children who shine like stars, and do our best to provide them with help and support. We hope that Tongxing continues to prosper and becomes a sheltered harbor in the hearts of the children, shielding them from the wind and rain and accompanying them to grow strongly.
