This year, many students participated in the exchange schemes at Forest School in the U.K. There, they attended the courses, immersed in western culture.
We held a meeting for the students to share their wonderful experiences during the stay.
每年上海市震旦外国语中学都会组织师生分别去往国内外进行游学、社会实践等，获得同学家长的热烈相应。
今年的英国游学又让人眼睛一亮：去往本校结对的国际友好学校——英国“伦敦森林学校”，深度体验英国课程，还有前往伦敦等地参观学习实践。两周与英国学生同班同步、完全沉浸式体验西方教学，走出去领略英伦风情，这些让参加游学的震旦师生感触颇深。游学期间，“前方”老师迅速发来实况，让我们一睹为快。师生们还有很多故事和彩蛋，想不想知道？
近日，本校在学校大礼堂举办了一场“英国研学分享会”，在本次研学中担任领队的英语老师吕文君老师和任远老师，与参加研学的初一年级同学们，用心回顾整理、再次奉上精彩合集。
伴随视频照片，师生们的生动演讲中，一定有你好奇的新内容哦！来，随他们一起重温英伦之旅：
田泽臻同学和江子扬同学的《伦敦掠影》：
On 25，June， we began our trip to London, which we have expected for a long time. Before the departure, Wendy Hammerson, our guide， give us a brief introduction of London, From early history to modern places of interest. After the lecture, we walked towards the Tube.
在英国，我们不仅有体验了丰富的课程，而且欣赏了伦敦的美景。当地时间六月25日，周二，我们开启了盼望已久的伦敦之行。森林学校想得很周到，出发之前请导游Wendy Hammerson 女士为我们简短地介绍了伦敦的历史和著名景点。这样给我们的游览奠定了一个基础。听好讲座，我们兴致盎然的出发了。
First, we arrived at the tube station. We were very excited and took many photos of the tube. Under the leadership of Wendy, we soon arrived at the center of London. We were so lucky that Wendy took great trouble to give us some explanation about each scenic spot。
我们首先来到了地铁站，初次见到地铁的我们，纷纷举起了手里的相机。下了地铁，我们在Wendy的带领下，开始了解许多的名胜古迹以及相关的历史、比如伦敦塔。
From Tower of London, we walked to Thames clipper. From the rout drawn by Katherine, you can have a quick look at the scenery we passed by, such as the shard of Glass, Tower Bridge and London eye etc. Now let’s have a better look at London. Please enjoy the video produced by Hua Ruobing.
参观完伦敦塔之后，我们乘船沿着泰晤士河开始游览，大家可以从大屏幕上看到我们整个的游览路线。
On Thursday, we paid a visit to the University of Cambridge. First we took a coach , after an-hour ride, we arrived Cambridge. The tour guide showed us around the campus. We were deeply impressed by the gothic architecture and the serene atmosphere.
在游览完伦敦，在学校休整一天之后，周四，我们一行人怀着无比敬仰的心情来到了剑桥大学。我们先乘坐大巴车来到剑桥，与导游见面后，导游带着我们参观了“数学桥”，国王学院等。我们被那宏伟的建筑和优美的景色深深吸引。走在剑桥的大街小巷，穿行于教堂拱门，踏步在石块水泥的车道上，仿佛回到了十六世纪的剑桥小镇。
One more important thing in Cambridge is Punting on River Cam and see the famous bridges and colleges. By sitting in the put, we are fully immersed in the harmony between human and nature.
印象最深的莫过于在剑桥河上坐平底船游览，虽然只是一条小河，河水却清澈倒映，两旁柳树成荫，岸边连绵的草地在蓝天白云下衬出绿草如茵，水面还有可爱的小鸭子，时不时地跟着我们的船游走。沉浸在古老的大学和教堂，体现着这里的历史人与大自然的和谐相处。
刘驰成同学、蔡景鸿同学的《哈里.波特世界和下午茶》：
What I'm most looking forward to this time in the UK is a visit to the Harry Potter World, where the scenes in the film appeared vividly in front of us, from Hogwarts Hall to the Attic of the Dursley slate, from the Goblet of Fire to the Broom of The Sky。
刚进入哈里波特世界的展厅，就会发现一只巨大的火龙悬在巨大的展厅正中央上空。越往里面走，场景越熟悉，一幕幕电影的情节真实地出现在我的眼前,在电影中出现的精美物品，也都呈现在眼前，令我目不暇接。甚至还有一段还原《哈利波特和魔法石》电影中真实的3D音效，着实震撼。
In the end, many of us bought a magic wand. We believe the wand will bring us good luck and help us overcome difficulty in our life.
参观结束之后，很多人都买了一支魔法棒。希望这支魔法棒能赋予我们勇气和力量战胜生活中的困难与挫折。
During this trip , we were also deeply impressed by British Tea. British tea has a long history with 300 years. With much curiosity, we walked into the classroom of food nutrition. We were divided into two classes. One was to make open sandwiches and scones with jam and clotted cream. The other is to make Victoria sandwiches and short bread.
文化上给我们印象最深的是下午茶。据说英国人和茶的情结很深，他们有300年的红茶历史。红茶加糖、牛奶即成奶茶。带着好奇和疑问，我们走进了烘焙的课堂，我们要亲自制作下午茶点。我们分成两组，一组制作司康饼。也就是我们说的scones；一组制三明治和面包。
Each of us was excited and followed the teachers step by step.
每个同学都兴致盎然，按照老师的指令一步一步完成.大家可以看到PPT上的图片，不仅看着好看，而且很好吃哦。
Soon It was 3p.m.. We laid the table and put everything in order, including plates, knives and forks, cups and flowers. Of course, the bread and cakes we made were also beautifully laid on the table.
很快到了下午三点，同学们在老师的指导下，自己摆桌子，学老师的样子摆餐盘、刀叉、茶杯和鲜花，端上亲手制作的点心和下午茶。
At the party, we sent our school badge to our British partner. And they like our badges very much.
席间，我们拿出了校方准备的校徽作为礼物赠送给住家的同学最为留念，并相互交换了通讯方式。
Though the afternoon tea is finished, our friendship will last forever.
下午茶虽然结束了，但是留给我们的却是很多美好的的回忆。这次英国游学，不仅让我们增长了见识而且开拓了视野。
张益阳同学和陈思妤同学的《住家与课程》：
On the evening of June 22nd, we arrived in England on time. We were all excited when stepping out the customs. The vice-principal of the Forest school has been waiting for us outside the airport for a long time, and we took the bus to the Forest school together.
在6月22日的傍晚，我们乘坐飞机去到了盼望已久的英国。森林学校的副校长已经站在机场外等待我们很久了，我们在她的带领下，乘坐大巴来到森林学校。
After two-hour bus drive, we finally met all our host families in front of the school gate at about 10 p.m. They had been waiting outside the school gate for couple of hours. It was a windy day, but I felt warm and steady when seeing those smiles on their faces.
经过两个小时的车程，在晚上10点多我们到了校门口，寄宿家庭的伙伴们脸上早已被泠冽的寒风刮的泛红，一瞬间，竟有些感动。
That’s how our homestay life in London began. Every morning, mom woke us up, prepared breakfast for us, and took us to the forest school.
我们的寄宿生活就这样开始了，每天早上寄宿家庭的夫人喊我们起床、给我们准备早饭， 送我们去学校。
Foresters not only introduced us to their schoolmates, but also showed us around the school. We played together, and had lessons together, although there were still some language barriers, but it does not block us to become good friends across national boundaries.
当地的伙伴们也十分热情与我们对话，不仅带我参观学校还会在课堂上帮助我们理解学习内容，在体育课上也积极的和我们组队练习。这也是我们可以很快融入其中的一大原因，上完一天的课我们也已经找到许多共同话题。
After school, foresters took us to the neighborhood to play sports and video games, and even drew on the ground with chalks on the community streets.
放学后，我们也会在街道里玩耍，甚至会串门到其他伙伴的家里，打游戏、撸猫、坐在地上画画……
Every weekend, it is our happiest time. The host family led us to the city center, did shopping, visiting the famous attractions and so on.
每到周末，也是我们最开心的时候，住家们会带我们去市中央，玩蹦床公园、密室逃脱，图书馆，逛街等等。每个人都收获满满，脸上洋溢着快乐的笑容，十分尽兴。
Forest school in London is a private school with a long history. It has a 50-acre campus and a huge sports playground. It has not only neat buildings and classrooms, but also strict school spirits and rules.
伦敦森林学校是有百年历史的私立学校， 他拥有50英亩的校园和巨大运动操场， 有整洁的校舍和教室，更有严谨的校风和校规。
During the 12-day study tour, we learned, played and experienced British culture with local students. We have experienced lessons of Drama, Baking & Cooking, Science & Math, Literature, P.E.& Sports, and other foreign languages, with foresters.
在为期12天的游学活动中， 我们和英国中学生一起学习、游戏和体验英伦文化。
期间，由森林学校的老师给我们上了戏剧艺术课，烘焙课，科学和数学课，文学课，体育课，西班牙语等外语课。
The forest school has strict school rules just like our school, for example, mobile phones are not allowed in the classroom, everyone should listen carefully when others speak, and students should wear uniforms at school.
森林学校和我们震旦外中一样，都有严谨的校规：例如手机不可以带入教室，在其他同学发言的时候要认真倾听，上学要穿校服等。在学习方法上，英国式更注重“身教”。
Their math is quite easier in Britain and they could even use calculators.
通过这几天的学习，我感受到，在数学课上，中国学生的口算和计算能力都非常强， 英国学生的数学学得非常简单，计算可以使用计算器。
English literature class in Forest school is equivalent to our Chinese lesson. The teacher shared one article first, listed the subject requirements after content explanation, and then divided us into groups. Finally each group representative presented their proposed solutions after group discussions, and he reviewed and commented them after that to make us better understand this article.
森林学校的英语课，相当于他们的语文课，老师给出一篇文章，老师先讲解文章内容，提出课题要求， 学生分成小组，进行讨论， 集思广益，想出解决方案， 最后由学生代表回答，老师点评。
In the drama class, the teacher demonstrated how to act in drama vividly. At first, we all looked nervous and felt a little constraint. He realized it and warmed up quickly by self-introduction and couple of small games. And then we learned how to sing and act sentence by sentence on the stage. His exaggerated actions and humorous expressions made us laugh all the time. We were all deeply attracted and seriously engaged in practice and rehearsal.
在戏剧艺术课， 森林学校的老师激情澎湃地演示和带领我们彩排练习，一开始我们是拘谨和紧张的， 老师为了活跃气氛，叫我们先自我介绍， 又做了一些小游戏， 气氛逐渐活跃起来。老师开始给我们逐句演示怎么表演舞台剧，怎么唱，怎么做动作， 老师动作夸张，表情幽默， 我们笑声不断，在这样热情高涨的氛围中，我们也非常认真地练习、彩排。
森林学校精心准备，带我们去Apollo Victoria剧场现场观看了经典音乐剧《Wicked》，这是大家耳熟能详的《绿野仙踪》故事的女巫创作视角，讲述了2位女巫Glinda和Elphaba关于善良、友谊、爱情、独立和成长的思考和追求。整个音乐剧持续2小时45分，包括一次中场休息。我们深深被华丽的场景设置，引人入胜的剧情，目不暇接的高质量歌舞和精致戏服所吸引、震撼。在森林学校的戏剧课到今天一直历历在目。
In the science class, Ms. taught us how to observe the water flea captured in the river inside school with microscope, and introduced its habits to us; and we also designed and built our own micro rockets by ourselves, and set up rocket propulsion device after her explanation of theory. And finally some of rockets were launched successfully. How interesting it is!
在科学和生物课上，实验和观察的内容更多，我们就地取材，用显微镜观察了森林学校里小河流中水生物的情况， 还亲自制作了迷你火箭及发射装置，我们在操场上发射了自己制作的火箭，火箭发射的原理很简单，就是泡腾片遇水产生气体，在密封的小空间内压力增大，气体把火箭顶出去的，非常有趣。
We also took part in their sports day on Wednesday, and we were taught how to play tennis in the PE class.
我们参与了森林学校的运动会， 体验了网球课，学习了简单的打网球的动作。
Baking class is my favorite one. We baked delicious bread with eggs, butter and flour, made lovely biscuits with molds, and sandwiches in the school kitchen with the proper guidance by teacher.
我最喜欢的是烘焙课， 我们亲自打蛋、打黄油、和面粉、捏面包和压饼干。我们烘烤了美味了面包、饼干和三明治，为下午的英式下午茶做准备，我们在下课前清理了操作台，工具摆放整齐。
After all tea and pastries were prepared, we set up the table with porcelain teapots & cups, and flowers, and had a wonderful time with home stayed students at 4 o’clock. We also exchanged the gifts with each other.
当天下午4点，我们布置了茶点和餐桌，有讲究的瓷器茶壶，骨瓷茶杯和碟子，点心盘，叉子，餐巾，鲜花……我们邀请森林学校的同学和老师们一起品尝美味的英式下午茶，感受英国茶文化。
I believe we all get a lot in this study tour in London. Our oral English has been improved significantly. We have watched how local students obey school rules, and execute them seriously. We also realized the differences in living and studying between Shanghai and London, Aurora and Forest. And our self-living and self-learning capabilities have been improved as well. All in one, we will make best use of the advantages, share with each other and develop ourselves to study more efficiently.
在森林学校的课程体验， 让我们收获很多。我们的英语交流能力明显提高；我们看到和感受到外国学生对校规的尊重和认真执行的态度；我们生活自理能力和自主学习能力得到锻炼和提高，我们应该取长补短，更有效率地学习。
学生演讲（片段）
领队老师随记感想
吕文君老师的分享：
“游学期间，首先让我感触最深的是森林学校学生的热情：只要我们走进教室，学生们就会热情的用中文同我们问好。除了让我们有宾至如归的感觉。
森林学校是以学生为中心的课堂授课方式，印象比较深的是我们所上的两节地理课，一节是七年级的地理，一节是高中的地理。在七年级的地理上，老师给出的是a trip around the word. 让学生画出自己环游世界的路线图。其中一位小朋友问我上海是什么样的，我告诉她，上海是和伦敦一样的国际化大都市。于是他把上海写进了自己的环游世界路线图。在高中的地理课上，老师讲的是卡斯特地貌的形成，给出的问题是：石灰岩在多大程度上促成了咯斯特地貌的形成，老师在给出一些讲解之后，学生们开始查阅资料，并把自己的见解讲给老师听。老师在每个小组中指导。老师告诉我们，一周后，学生把自己写的文章发给她。就是这样以学生为中心的课堂，让学生发挥了积极性和主动性，当然这是在建立严格的自觉和自律上。
第三个比较深的印象是：我们的研学手册在森林学校得到了住家和森林学校老师的表扬和肯定。在告别晚宴上，住家的父母啧啧称赞我们中国孩子的书写和认真的态度。同时几位英国森林学校的老师也问我们要了研学手册的电子版。
正是这种相互交流，促进了彼此的友谊和共同进步。我们不仅在森林学校学到了知识，增长了见识，而且饱览了伦敦的美景。”
任远老师的分享：
“此次游学的主要目的是‘学’，为期两周的学习生活让同学们和我都收益颇丰。
英国森林学校实行小班教学，每个班不超过20人，男女分班上课。教室四周的展板张贴和展示着学生或教师的作品和资料。桌椅是活动的，可以根据教学内容自由组合。在英国学习期间，同学们最大的感受是小组活动和现场讲解展示经常让人忙到顾不上休息，老师在课堂上提供各种信息资源，学生对学到的理论或技能进行运用或展示。要完成这些任务必须积极地思考，弄不懂就要和老师讨论，没法蒙混过关。在教学过程中，老师在课堂上可以随时使用网上资源，根据学生或自己的需要打印资料，制作handout或其它活动所需要的材料。
英国教育以能力教育为主，注重独立思考和分析。小班授课使得每一位学生都能得到足够的关怀，尊重个人之间的差异，因材施教。在如此环境的熏陶下，同学们不仅能全面掌握学科知识，还拥有了分析问题和解决问题的能力。
短短的学习生活无法让我们全面感受到英国的教育教学管理，但有一种“窥一斑知全豹”的体验。一旦赴远游学，如舟涉江湖。当你没有走出学校和原有生活时，所看到的山水只是小山小水，一旦当你走出去看到更大的世界时，心即变得广阔，而看到的也将是大江大河。同学们不仅见识到了英国人的绅士与淑女、风度与优雅，还充盈了自己的知识，收获了友情、也增长了阅历、收获了快乐。
游学让同学们打破成长边界，拥有更广阔的心灵和世界！”
