Bringing Ancient History to Life 将古代史带入生活

This term, our Years 3-5 students at Yew Chung International School of Beijing have been immersed in the worlds of ancient Egyptian, Roman and Greek civilisations. Venture up to our Year 3-5 Learning Communities and you will find yourself transported back many thousands of years – with Grecian vases on display and Egyptian craftsmen with their heads down, hands covered in clay, crafting pieces of delicate jewellery.

这个学期，北京耀中国际学校3-5年级的学生沉浸在古埃及，古罗马和古希腊文明的世界里。参与到我们3-5年级学习社区，你会发现自己梦回几千年前¬—那里展出了希腊花瓶，埃及工匠低着头，裹满黏土的手，制作着精致的珠宝首饰。

To teach ancient history to our students, explain Mrs Jane Kang (Year 3 Learning Community Teacher) and Ms Iyabo Tinubu (Year 5 Learning Community Team Leader), we must bring the subject to life. We engage our students with ancient civilisations by encouraging them to get under the skin of the Egyptian and Greek characters – their day-to-day lives, jobs, clothing, diets, stories. It’s a fabulously enjoyable topic to teach, because the children get swept up in the excitement and foreignness of these ancient worlds. 

为了教授学生们古代历史，Jane Kang女士（3年级学习社区教师）和Iyabo Tinubu女士（5年级学习社区团队负责人）解释道，我们必须将这一主题带入生活。我们通过鼓励学生们深入了解埃及人和希腊人的特征，他们的日常生活、工作、服装、饮食和故事，让学生沉浸在古代文明中。这是一个非常令人愉快的教学主题，孩子们被这些异域的古老世界带来的兴奋感笼罩着。
