At Yew Wah Beijing, there is a tradition of students telling their own stories about what they have gained in the recent past. Whether it is academic and physical growth or spiritual and artistic inspiration, the students experience it firsthand.
This week all Year 5 students appeared on stage at the Primary assembly. The theme they shared was "China in Stories," The students presented various Chinese folk tales rich in historical knowledge, deep national attachment, and unfailing artistic charm. We were enthralled by the myths, legends, literary anecdotes, and folk traditions.
The fifth-grade learning community's refined name is 'Xing Yew Ge.' According to Homeroom Teacher Mr Fu, Xing Yew Ge has a three-fold meaning.
Xing: Each student is a unique shining star
Yew: from the school's name "Yew Wah," which means to shine brightly in China
Ge: the meaning of the book pavilion, expecting the fifth graders to become book lovers.
After the sharing, we interviewed the 5th graders to hear their most honest feelings.
Congratulations to all the Year 5 students for their achievements and joy gained during this theme sharing. In them, we saw the image of Yew Chung Yew Wah learners: they know how to think about problems, explore solutions, and form their own body of knowledge; they communicate with a positive mindset, communicate, and are flexible and adaptable in dealing with problems they encounter. They have grown into what we expect them to be. Yew Wah will continue to strive to develop them into intercultural practitioners with good character.
