Seeing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary (在平凡中看到不平凡)

Seeing the Extraordinary in the Ordinary (在平凡中看到不平凡)

– EtonHouse Shanghai Qingpu Maies Pre-School (新加坡伊顿上海青浦马雅思幼儿园)

Flour, fruits and vegetables are the most common and mundane ingredients in our lives. However, when our teachers integrate these ordinary ingredients into our teaching activities and carefully create spaces and environments to stimulate children’s exploration, providing rich exploratory tools and materials, we see the “extraordinary in the ordinary”. We will follow our Nursery children’s exploratory experiences, such as “Magical Flour” and “Fruit and Vegetable Trail Creation,” to listen and discover the hundreds of ways in which children express themselves.

面粉蔬果都是我们生活中最为常见的平凡的食材但当我们的老师把这些平凡的食材投放在我们的教学活动中,并精心的创设激发孩子们探索的空间环境提供孩子们丰富的探索工具材料时让我们看到了“平凡中的不平凡”跟随我们托班幼儿的探索活动“神奇百变的面粉”、“蔬果痕迹创作”聆听与发现幼儿们一百种语言的表达方式

Every year at Claymore, we wrap up the school year with our cherished tradition—the 100 Languages Exhibition—a meaningful celebration of children’s learning. The “100 Languages”, a poem written by Loris Malaguzzi, represents the endless possibilities for children to express their thoughts, feelings, and ideas, enabling them to gain new understandings of the world around them, whether through the language of paint, wire, movement, or other creative forms.

This exhibition is an opportunity for the entire school community to come together, where children excitedly showcase their learning to their families, and teachers and parents connect to unpack each child’s unique learning journey. The school is transformed into a vibrant gallery, with children’s work aesthetically displayed in classrooms or shared learning spaces, highlighting the rich inquiry-based learning that has taken place throughout the year.

The meaningful moments of the exhibition don’t end there—after the event, children’s art pieces remain on display throughout the school, continuing to reinforce their sense of ownership and belonging. This tradition not only celebrates the diversity of expression but also strengthens the bond between home and school, creating a lasting impact on everyone involved.

During the two-day training session, participants were invited to immerse themselves in and operate rich materials and tools, this also led them to deeply analyse the Reggio Emilia Approach–explore the relationship between art and pre-school education, reflect on the role of teachers, and rethink how to better support children’s independent thinking and active creation in the future.

在这两天的培训中,我们不仅邀请参会者对丰富的材料和工具进行了浸润式地体验和操作,同时还带领他们深度解析瑞吉欧经典案例,探索艺术与学前教育的关系,从而不断反思教师角色,重新思考今后如何更好地支持儿童独立思考和积极创造。

The ink exhibition celebrates the creativity of our children, where they engage deeply with the essence of ink, exploring its diverse languages and dynamic interactions with various canvases. Guided by their curiosity, children immersed themselves in the rich cultural traditions of ink, from Japanese Suminagashi ink to Chinese Calligraphy ink, using an array of tools to express their unique perspectives. Through this journey of exploration, children weave together narratives, animations and art pieces. As their creations grace our exhibition, they not only shared their stories but also contributed to the funds raised to the EtonHouse Community Fund, embodying the spirit of collaboration and community engagement.
