In the art class, students used the bubbles collected by Teacher Jia to make a lot of Halloween decorations hanging in the classroom, such as grimaces, pumpkins, bats, witch hats and candles. Outside the classroom, it can also be said to be a strong festive atmosphere. The classroom door was also decorated with grimaces made of foam, pumpkins, big spiders, etc. It was very creative that there was a spider web wrapped with a used umbrella stand and wool. It was really vivid when you put it on the wall. In the English class,
, the foreign teacher Marc also explained the relevant knowledge of Halloween, allowing students to understand Halloween customs, the origin of pumpkin lantern , etc., and also learned a lot of Halloween-related English expressions.
In the music class, students learned to sing the song "Zombie". The Chinese translation of this song "The Walking Dead" coincides with the Halloween theme, but it is actually an anti-war song by the famous rock band cranberry band . It is a song full of humanity, caring about the hurt people are suffered, and using the shouting rock to clearly show their thoughts and positions. As an anti-war song of "noisy and angry", the song strongly denounces war, calls for peace, and brings people a tenacious and optimistic life force. hope that by learning to sing this song, students from the International Department can also learn the great love in the song and cherish the hard-earned peace era.
On the day of the event, students from the International Department invited members of the first-year high school student union to participate in the Halloween Night Party (due to the restriction of the number of people in the venue, the first-year high school student union members were invited to participate. In the future, the International Department will invite students from different schools and departments of Dongkang Education Group to participate in the International Department activities, so that students can feel the joy of different cultures and festivals and the warm and unity of the big family of Dongkang Education Group.)
The students dressed up Halloween and turned into "demons and monsters" to "ask for candies" from the teachers of the international department. At the same time, they also carried the "pump lantern" together to send Halloween candies to some teachers and students who were unable to participate in this event (the Western tradition is "to ask for candies". Here, localization has been made. Not only do they want candies, but they also send candies. By sharing the joy and "sweetness" of Halloween to people around them, they can achieve the purpose of the festival, which is also in line with the fine tradition of our Chinese people's enthusiasm and friendship). Everything is ready, the carnival begins! The "Step on Ghosts" game, the "You gesture and I guess" game about Halloween vocabulary, made all kinds of demons burst into laughter and "shocked".
Excellent moments of the event
Share candy
Dongkang No. 1 Middle School International Department's attitude towards a series of Western festivals: Do not blindly worship, do not lose yourself, neither Winning , nor denying it completely, but taking its essence and discarding its dregs! After all, it can bring a certain interest in life to our tense and boring life and inject a little vitality. There is no need to say that celebrating the foreign festival is to admire foreign countries and fawning on the sect and forgetting ancestors. After the warm festival, everything will disappear. Therefore, the International Department of Dongkang No. 1 Middle School still reminds students: We can feel the atmosphere of foreign festivals and the culture and significance behind the festivals through Halloween activities, take the essence and discard the dross. The most important thing about is to remember that only the nation is the world, which is the eternal truth. While celebrating the foreign festival lively, Don’t forget to carry forward the long-standing excellent festival cultural traditions of the Chinese nation, and never lose yourself in blind worship. International Students can also introduce and share our Zhongyuan Festival with our friends on Halloween on Halloween.
