走进水畔山桥的实践课堂
七年级秋游纪实
浦西校区
深秋的韩湘水博园水色清润、草木丰盛,河道与古桥相映成画。11月20日,上海中学国际部浦西校区七年级的同学们走进这片兼具自然与文化韵味的园区,展开了一天充满动感、创意与合作精神的秋日体验。
抵达园区后,队伍沿着蜿蜒的水畔步道缓步前行。青石板路串联起一座座古桥,各具姿态,倒映在水面上。同学们漫步其间,不时驻足观察桥身的纹饰,讨论不同桥梁的结构特点。古树掩映着白墙黛瓦,空气中仿佛流动着岁月的痕迹,使这段步行成为自然与人文交织的沉浸式体验。
在桥梁搭建环节中,同学们亲手体验了中国传统榫卯结构的独特智慧。榫卯作为一项源远流长的木作技艺,以“凸为榫,凹作卯”,不借一钉一铆,仅凭精准的嵌合便能实现构件的牢固连接。在专业老师的指导下,志愿者同学们在短短几分钟内就搭建起一座能承载一人通过的倍力桥。
这种桥梁运用了力学中的自锁原理——当桥面承受压力时,构件间相互挤压的力量让整座桥异常稳固。回到教室后,同学们意犹未尽,纷纷用准备好的木棍尝试搭建自己的迷你倍力桥。这次实践不仅让古老的智慧在指尖重现,更让创新的种子在心间萌芽。
在开阔的草坪上,拔河比赛的口号声、脚步声与欢笑声响成一片;“合力搭建”游戏中,班级成员紧密配合,共同拉动绳头操控塔钩,用一块块积木构筑起团队之塔。在轻松愉快的氛围中,同学们深刻体会到理解、信任与配合对团队协作的重要性。
非遗手狮舞活动成为当天的亮点之一。在观赏手狮舞表演后,同学们也跃跃欲试。他们双手操控彩狮道具,尝试“晃狮”“摇狮”等基本动作。起初略显笨拙的姿势逐渐变得娴熟,几只“小狮子”在场地上跳跃、打滚,活灵活现。通过亲身体验,同学们更直观地感受到了这项传统民俗艺术的魅力。
在完成水博园的参观后,同学们满怀期待地来到了种植园,采摘成为秋游中最亲近自然的体验。同学们满怀着好奇观察耕地中种植的草头,仿佛每一片叶子、每一缕泥土的香气都在诉说着大自然的奇妙。同学们伸出双手,小心地从枝叶间掐下饱满的菜叶。随着一片片新鲜的菜叶落入袋中,袋子的重量一点点增加。土地的温度、植物的触感与收获的喜悦在此刻变得格外真实。
这次秋游不仅让同学们领略了江南水乡的深秋之美,更是一场有实践意义的学习之旅:在律动中释放活力,在搭建中锻炼思维,在游戏中建立默契,在劳动中体会收获。相信同学们会将这份来自自然的启发与感悟带回校园,在未来的学习与生活中保持热情,勇于尝试,收获更多成长。
Puxi Campus G7:
Field trip
In the late-autumn glow, Hanxiang Park offered a serene landscape of clear waters, vibrant foliage, and graceful ancient bridges. On November 20, seventh graders from the Puxi Campus of SHSID stepped into this setting for a day of exploration— one filled with movement, creativity, and collaboration.
The visit began with a gentle walk along the waterfront. Stone pathways wound past a series of traditional bridges— arched, curved, and flat— each reflected in the calm river below. Students paused often to examine the carved details on the bridge railings and to compare the different structures. With old trees framing whitewashed walls and dark-tiled roofs, the setting felt steeped in history, making the walk an immersive blend of culture and nature.
A highlight of the morning was the hands-on bridge-building workshop, where students discovered the brilliance of traditional mortise-and-tenon design. Guided by instructors, volunteers assembled a self-supporting Bailey bridge in just minutes— a structure held together purely by precise interlocking pieces. When weight is applied, the components press against one another, creating remarkable stability. Back in the classroom, students enthusiastically experimented with wooden sticks to build their own miniature versions. The activity brought ancient craftsmanship to life and sparked genuine curiosity and creativity.
On the open lawn, cheers and laughter filled the air during the tug-of-war competition. In the "Team Assembly" challenge, classmates worked in unison to maneuver ropes and stack blocks, learning firsthand how communication and trust shape effective teamwork.
The traditional lion dance— an intangiblefacet ofcultural heritage— quickly became another favorite. After watching a lively demonstration, students tried the movements themselves. Their early attempts were hesitant, but soon the "little lions" were leaping and tumbling across the field with growing confidence. The activity offered a playful yet meaningful introduction to a cherished folk tradition.
After exploring the park, the group headed to the planting field, where vegetable picking became the most down-to-earth experience of the day. Students knelt beside the beds of chives, captivated by the fresh scent of soil and the delicate texture of the leaves. With curious excitement, they gently plucked the greens one by one. As their bags grew heavier, so did their sense of delight. In that simple moment, the warmth of the earth and the joy of harvest felt especially real.
More than a scenic autumn outing, the day served as a rich learning journey. Students released energy through physical play, strengthened their thinking through hands-on construction, built trust through teamwork, and found fulfillment in working with their own hands. They returned to campus carrying not only vegetables but also sparks of curiosity and a renewed eagerness to explore and grow.
