「同根同心」勇闖京城！石籬聖若望小學五年級生變身歷史偵探與冒險家

這個冬天，石籬聖若望天主教小學五年級學生，在教育局「同根同心」計劃支持下，於一月五日至八日遠赴北京，展開一場歷史文化與自然科學冒險。四天三夜，他們化身偵探、建築師與採購達人，經歷許多「第一次」，在笑聲與挑戰中成長。

首站紫禁城，同學們手持任務卡，尋找屋簷脊獸，遊戲中學習古代建築等級與寓意。接著攀登居庸關長城，爭做「好漢」，感受世界奇蹟震撼。

博物館互動滿滿：在周口店遺址，捏製黏土小猿人；在孔廟國子監，拼裝榫卯結構，體驗無釘建築智慧；在北京自然博物館，繪製恐龍圖鑑，探索遠古奧秘。

旅程帶來成長：首次離家遠行、獨立管理生活、與師友共處。從收拾行李到規劃購物，在前門大街完成採購任務，展現獨立能力。夜晚分享見聞，加深友誼。

行程以遊戲串聯學習，在鳥巢、水立方打卡，古今對照，培養國家認同。老師見證學生轉變，深感欣慰。

這趟北京之旅，讓學生在行走的課堂中快樂學習，體會中華文化底蘊，並在挑戰中獲得成長。學校將持續多元活動，盼家長支持，讓孩子在體驗中進步。

Mainland Exchange Programme： Brave Adventure in the Capital! P.5 students from Shek Lei St. John's Catholic Primary School Transform into Historical Detectives and Adventurers
This winter, P.5 students from Shek Lei St. John's Catholic Primary School, supported by the Education Bureau's mainland exchange program, traveled to Beijing from 5th January to 8th January for an adventure in history, culture, and natural science. Over four days and three nights, they became detectives, architects, and shopping experts, experiencing many "firsts" and growing amid laughter and challenges.

At the Forbidden City, students used task cards to hunt rooftop mythical beasts, learning ancient architecture's ranks and meanings via games. They then scaled Juyongguan Great Wall, competing as "heroes" and marveling at the world wonder.

Interactive museums sparked joy: At Zhoukoudian Site, they crafted clay ape-men; at the Temple of Confucius and Imperial Academy, they built mortise-and-tenon models, discovering nail-free ingenuity; at Beijing Museum of Natural History, they illustrated dinosaur guides, uncovering prehistoric secrets.

The trip built independence: First solo travels, self-managing routines, and bonding with peers. From packing to budgeting, they aced shopping tasks on Qianmen Street. Evening chats strengthened friendships.

Games wove in learning, with stops at the Bird's Nest and Water Cube for ancient-modern contrasts, fostering national pride. Teachers noted remarkable growth.

This Beijing excursion turned classrooms mobile, deepening appreciation for Chinese heritage and personal development. The school plans more diverse programs and seeks parental backing for experiential learning.
