成都墨爾文國際學校小學部研學活動回顧：在成都規劃館 探尋城市脈搏

在英語ETW（探索世界）課程“Building A Village（建造一座村莊）”主題學習(xi) 中，小學五年級的學生們(men) 將目光聚焦在了自己生活的城市：“成都從(cong) 何處來？又去往何處”？

帶著這一驅動性問題，3月21日，學生們(men) 走進成都市規劃館，以跨學科研學之名對話三千年文明曆史，在實地探索中解讀“天府之國”的幸福密碼。

從(cong) 燦爛輝煌的古蜀王國到幸福舒適的現代都市，成都綿延幾千年的文明與(yu) 變革，正通過沉浸式學習(xi) 在學生麵前生動展現。在講解員的精彩講解中，學生們(men) 了解了神奇的大自然如何造就了氣候宜人、地勢平坦的四川盆地，而西北方向的龍門山脈和邛崍山脈，又是如何為(wei) 這座城市增添了雄偉(wei) 與(yu) 神秘。

在這裏，成就成都平原肥沃土壤的都江堰水利工程被學生們(men) 深入學習(xi) 。孩子們(men) 在驚歎於(yu) 古人智慧的同時，也學習(xi) 到了自然地理對文明發展的重要作用與(yu) 對現代文明的重要啟示。

在自由探索環節，學生們(men) 以小組為(wei) 單位，圍繞成都不同朝代的地圖特點與(yu) 四個(ge) 規劃藍圖展開激烈討論。他們(men) 驚奇地發現：從(cong) 古代的軍(jun) 事防禦到現代的經濟繁榮，從(cong) 傳(chuan) 統的農(nong) 業(ye) 社會(hui) 到如今的現代化大都市，成都的發展曆程始終充滿了智慧與(yu) 創新。在積極交流與(yu) 思維碰撞過程中，學生們(men) 的史料分析能力與(yu) 批判性思維得到了極大提高，這正是項目式學習(xi) 與(yu) 探究式學習(xi) 的生動實踐與(yu) 魅力所在。

這堂融合了曆史、地理以及社會(hui) 研究等多維視角的實踐課堂，不僅(jin) 延展了原有的ETW課程維度與(yu) 知識內(nei) 涵，更提高了學生們(men) 的綜合素養(yang) 。當直觀感受城市發展、自然環境以及社會(hui) 變遷這三者之間的密切互動時，學生們(men) 以全球視野重新審視家鄉(xiang) 發展，完美詮釋了成都墨爾文所提倡的“紮根中國，走向世界”的教育理念。在此過程中，學生們(men) 的跨文化理解能力與(yu) 公民意識也在潛移默化中得以培養(yang) 。

During their ETW (Exploring the World) unit, "Building A Village", Prep5 pupils turned their attention to their city, inquiring:"Where did Chengdu originate, and where is it headed?"

Driven by this guiding question, on 21^st March, pupils visited the Chengdu Planning Exhibition Hall. Using an interdisciplinary approach, they engaged with the city's 3,000-year history, exploring the secrets behind the "Land of Abundance" through hands-on exploration.

From the splendour of the ancient Shu Kingdom to the dynamic modernity of today's metropolis, Chengdu's millennia-spanning evolution came alive through immersive learning. With expert guidance, pupils discovered how natural forces shaped the Sichuan Basin's temperate climate and fertile plains, while the towering Longmen and Qionglai mountain ranges to the northwest imbued the region with grandeur and mystique. A key focus was the Dujiangyan Irrigation System – a 2,300-year-old hydraulic marvel that nurtured Chengdu's agricultural prosperity. As pupils marvelled at the ingenuity of ancient engineers, they grasped how geography and human innovation intertwine to propel a civilization's progress.

The interactive "free exploration" session ignited lively debates as pupil's working together in groups to analyse historical maps and urban blueprints across dynasties. Pupils made striking observations: Chengdu's trajectory – from military stronghold to economic hub, agrarian society to smart metropolis – was consistently driven by wisdom and innovation. Through collaborative discussions and critical analysis of primary sources, pupils honed their historical inquiry skills and critical thinking, highlighting the power of project-based and inquiry-based learning methods.

This transdisciplinary study which integrated history, geography and social sciences, has enriched the ETW curriculum while also enhancing pupils' holistic abilities. By examining the interplay between urban development, natural environments and societal change, pupils re-evaluated their hometown through a global lens, embodying the school's educational philosophy of being"rooted in China with a global outlook". Throughout this process, pupils' cross-cultural awareness and civic consciousness were subtly nurtured, contributing to their growth as global citizens.
