GARDEN

Explain the John Dewey quote, "Education is life, Education as growth”.

杜威说：“教育即生活，教育即生长。”

There is a back garden at ISA Tianhe School, where there is greenery, the smell of cauliflower mixed with the earth, and the sounds of birds and insects...

爱莎天河有个后花园，那里绿意盎然，菜花香混着泥土的气息在空中弥漫，还有鸟儿与昆虫..….

In the CBD of the city, our students can work the land and sow seeds, water, and harvest fruits. They get close to nature, step on the soil, explore different forms of life, and witness the growth process of plants.

在城市中心，孩子们拥有自己的一块田地，在那里播下种子、浇灌、收获果实。他们亲近自然，脚踏泥土，在大自然中亲身体验，探索生命的不同形态，见证植物的成长过程。

START FROM NOTHING

从无到有

On February 23, Hilary, the homeroom teacher of EY4A, put forward a bold idea to the kindergarten department - to build a garden of our own, growing vegetables, herbs and flowers with the children. Her idea received a warm response from everyone, and the plan was quickly put into practice. The teachers and children collected tires, pots and bamboos from around the Redtory. They used their small wheelbarrows and buckets to load stones and soil, and piled them up into "small fields", which was the original appearance of the back garden of ISA Tianhe.

在2 月23 日，EY4A的主班老师Hilary向幼儿园部提出了一个大胆的想法---建立一个属于我们自己的后花园，和孩子们一起种植蔬菜、草本植物和花朵。她的想法受到了大家的热烈响应，计划很快便付诸实践。老师和孩子们就地取材从红专厂周围收集轮胎、罐子和竹子，用他们的小独轮车和水桶装载石头和泥土，堆砌成一块块“小田地”，那是爱莎天河后花园的最初模样。

SOWING

播种

Spring is the season of life. Our teachers took the children to sow and transplant lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, garlic shallots, mint, basil, green onions, carrots, sunflowers, and some wildflowers. That was the first experience of planting for children. Red and green vegetable seedlings dotted the entire back garden and spring.

春天是生命的季节。老师带着孩子们一起播种、移栽生菜、黄瓜、西红柿、青椒、蒜葱、薄荷、罗勒、大葱、胡萝卜、向日葵和一些野花。那是孩子们植物种植的初体验，红红绿绿的蔬菜苗点缀了整个后花园和春天。

GROWING UP TOGETHER

共成长

Our children wrote the name of their class on the drawing board, and each class has an area that it is responsible for. In the inquiry class, under the guidance of the teacher, the children watered, weeded, observed and recorded. In the environment, so full of vitality, our children's curious nature was liberated. They discovered how the soil nourished life, and initially explored how the world works. They also began to imagine what everything would look like a few weeks later.

孩子们在画板画上了自己班级的名称，每个班级都有一个自己负责照料的区域。在探究课上，在老师的带领下，孩子们浇水、除草、观察、记录。在充满生机的环境中，孩子们好奇的天性得到了解放，去发现泥土如何滋养生命，初步探究世界如何运作。开始想象数周之后，万物的的模样。

HARVESTING "FRUITS"

收获 “果实”

After the spring rain, the sunflowers in our back garden bloomed, and the melon vines were also covered with fruits. Our children rejoiced in the chirping of the birds and the fluttering of the butterflies, and then brought home bags of green onions and leeks. They also loved to pull out one or two carrots a week to see how big the carrots were. In addition to reaping tangible fruits, the children were busy gaining the opportunity to have close contact with nature and increase their knowledge of planting and farming.

春雨过后，后花园里的向日葵开花了，瓜藤上也挂满了果实。孩子们欣喜于鸟儿的鸣叫和蝴蝶的翩跹，带一袋袋的葱和韭菜回家。他们还喜欢每周拔出一到两个胡萝卜来看看胡萝卜有多大。除了收获实实在在的果实，孩子们也在忙前忙后之中，获得了与大自然亲密接触的机会，增长了对劳作的认知。

The back garden of ISA Tianhe gives children living in the city a chance to get close to nature and witness what is happening here. The wonderful thing about involving children is that they can realize the importance of plants to our planet. When they grow up, they can take action and play a role in defending the future of the planet. No matter how small, at least we are taking action.

爱莎天河的后花园，让生活在城市里的孩子们，有机会亲近大自然并见证这里发生的一切。让孩子参与其中的奇妙之处在于能让他们意识到植物对我们地球的重要性，长大后可以采取行动，未来在保卫地球方面发挥作用，无论多么微小，至少我们在行动。

Let us embrace nature together!

一起拥抱大自然吧！
