金秋十月，福州西湖国际学校的小学生们前往三明将乐·天籁蛟湖研学基地，开启本年度研学之旅。劳作、学习、玩乐、运动，体验丰收的喜悦，感受季节变幻、自然的壮美与力量，都是研学中极为重要的一环。这是FLIS小学部展开秋季研学的第二年。相较去年，今年课程设置更为多样，充分利用了当地丰富的自然资源。每晚学子都在教师的指导下撰写日记——这一天的研学里，你最喜欢的是什么？为什么？在今天的活动里，你有哪里做得不够好、下次会如何改正？教育是双向的——这些问题不仅有助于学子记录、反思，对教师复盘此次旅行、展望未来也大有帮助。

In October, primary students from Fuzhou Lakeside International School went to the Jiao-Hu Skylark Field Studies Center in Jiangle to start this year's field study. Working, learning, playing, exercising, experiencing the joy of the harvest, the changing seasons, and the beauty and strength of nature are all extremely important parts of the study. This is the second year that the FLIS primary school has conducted a fall field study. This year's program was more diverse than last year's, taking full advantage of the rich natural resources of the area. Each night the students were guided by their teachers to write in their journals reflect on questions such as what was your favorite part of the day's study? Why? What mistakes did you make and what would you do differently next time? Education is bi-directional - these questions not only help the students to record and reflect, but also help the teachers to review the trip and look forward to the future.  

■ G3：荒野求生 看我的！

三年级学子在稻田里割了稻子、也来到溪边尝试自制装置净化水源。当问题拓展至荒野求生时，学子们积极讨论起了各项求生必备技能：如何获得食物？如何生火？若天气不佳，如何保护自己？

The third graders harvested rice in the paddy fields and went to the stream to try to purify the water with a self-made device. When asking to make a plan for surviving in the wild, the students actively discussed the necessary skills for survival: How to get food? How to make a fire? How to protect themselves if the weather is bad?

FLIS学子徒步至山中营地模拟可能遇到的种种情形，不请自来的蚂蚁、蚊虫也加入了户外课堂：在极度饥饿的情况下，蚂蚁是可以吃的吗？教师和大家分享了自己童年时代与响尾蛇、黄蜂相遇的趣事。一番头脑风暴过后，学子们通过几个问题深化了讨论：荒野求生时，首先你会做些什么，为什么？你觉得最难实现的是什么、最容易做到的是什么，而关键影响因素又是什么？

Students hiked to a campsite in the mountains to simulate various scenarios they might encounter, and uninvited ants and mosquitoes also joined the outdoor classroom- are ants edible in a situation of extreme hunger? The G3 teacher shared an interesting story about his encounter with a rattlesnake and a wasp in his childhood. After some brainstorming, teacher and students extended the lesson through a few questions: What would you do first? Why? What do you think would be the hardest to accomplish? The easiest? What factors might make it easier? Harder?

■ G5：不做食物的过客 体验豆浆完整的一生

五年级学子有了难得的体验：从种豆芽、采摘作物到制作饮品，他们完整走过了「豆浆」的一生！发芽、摘豆、研磨豆浆、过滤豆渣，直至豆浆煮沸端上桌，成为搭配午后小点的饮品，小学生们第一次喝上了亲手制作的豆浆。

Fifth graders had several rare experiences: from planting seeds, harvesting crops, making food, even walking through the life of soy milk! They planted the seeds, picked the beans, ground the soy milk, filtered the impurities. The soy milk was boiled and served as a drink for afternoon snack. The primary students drank soy milk for the first time - made by their own hands!

山中徒步给了学子与自然亲密接触、深入探索的机会。这也是大部分学子此前未曾体验过的活动，对他们而言既新奇、又充满挑战。最后，孩子们克服了所有困难，成功走完了全程！

Hiking in the mountains gave the students the opportunity to get in touch with nature and explore it in depth. It was also an activity that most of the students had never experienced before, which was both novel and challenging for them. In the end, they overcame all the difficulties and successfully finished the whole journey.

■ G4：造一个遮风挡雨的房子 需要几步？

一堂探讨外界环境对人类生存状况影响的课给大家留下了深刻印象。狂风、山洪、地震、暴雨……时不时，我们就要面对种种自然灾害带来的影响，一个遮风挡雨的房子是人类生活的外在防御。在这门课上，学子们需要运用纸板、保鲜膜、黏土等材料设计制作一个坚固的小房子，而教师的任务则是——模拟风吹雨淋山洪地震，摧毁它！

A lesson exploring the impact of the external environment on the human condition left a deep impression on everyone. Gale, floods, earthquakes, torrential rain… from time to time, we have to face the impact of all kinds of natural processes and disasters, a sheltered house is the external defense of human life. In this class, the students were grouped and tasked with building a house using materials such as cardboard, cling wrap, wooden rods, and play-doh, and the teacher's task was - to simulate wind and floods and earthquakes to destroy the house!

学子们分组行动，绞尽脑汁加固房屋，想出的办法包括但不限于改变屋子形状使其更加稳固、在屋旁挖地道加快排水、打造地下堡垒……究竟大家的房子能否经受住考验、教师又是否完成了任务呢？

The students racked their brains to strengthen their houses, coming up with ideas including, but not limited to, changing the shape of the house to make it more stable, digging trenches to allow water to flow past, burying their houses underground to create bunkers, and water-proofing their houses with the cling wrap and cellophane tape. Did everyone's house stand up to the test, or did the teachers complete their task?

研学基地得天独厚的山水环境相当适合久困城市中的孩子舒展筋骨。皮划艇是许多学子钟爱的运动项目，划着小艇探索广阔水域让人成就感满满，快速学会划皮划艇的学子还在教练指导下展开了水上水枪大战！

The unique mountain and water environment of the Jiangle Field Studies Center is also quite suitable for kids who have been trapped in the city for a long time to stretch their muscles. Kayaking is a favorite sport of many students- exploring the vast waters gives everybody a sense of accomplishment. Under the guidance of the instructor, some of the students even played the water gun battle on kayak!

课堂环境切换后，学子也换了个视角看待学习。五年级老师发现，学生们并未将研学活动看做课程，在他们眼中，这一周的活动更像与朋友一起冒险与探索，而在单纯享受这段经历的同时，学子也潜移默化地完成了学习。

As the classroom environment switched, so did the students' perspective on learning. Fifth grade teacher noticed that the students didn't view the organized activities as lessons, but rather as adventures and explorations that they got to share with their friends while being independent of their families for a week. Rather than seeing the learning objectives, students simply enjoy the experience with field study learning happening through osmosis.

回到校园，生活与学习都在继续。闲暇时分，你是否也会想起林间的风，飞掠指间的昆虫，美到令人失语的晚霞与烧烤派对上的欢声笑语？下次研学又有什么惊喜？敬请期待吧！

Back on campus, life and studies go on. In the spare time, do you also think of the wind in the forest, the insects flying through your fingers, the gorgeous twilight and the laughter at the barbecue party? What's in store for the next field study trip? Stay tuned!
