G1-G3

Sunshine, floral scents, and the fresh smell of earth—where is spring? Spring is hiding right in Gongqing Forest Park.This week G1-3 students of Shanghai SSBS stepped into this springtime wonderland.

The park was at its most beautiful—flowers were in full bloom everywhere you looked, with sage, daisies, poppies, and hydrangeas vying for attention. Sunlight filtered through the trees onto the winding paths, and the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of blossoms and the earthy scent of fresh soil. The children brought to life the words from "Looking for Spring" in their second-grade Chinese textbook—encountering the very flowers, trees, breeze, and birdsong they had read about.      

Eagerly, they raced toward their favorite rides. The little forest train chugged through the woods, the joyriders let them feel like little pilots, the paintball challenge tested their focus and courage, and the carousel went round and round, carrying laughter all the way. Every ride was a little adventure, and every adventure became a memory of childhood.

From textbook to nature, from words to real-life experience—this was a day when the children didn't just find spring; they became the brightest blossoms of the season themselves. To our little explorers of SSBS: may your smiles bloom as brilliantly as spring flowers, now and always!

Spring Outing to Shanghai LEGOLAND: A Joyful and Well-Disciplined Trip by Fourth Graders

With gentle spring breezes and lush greenery all around, the fourth-grade teachers and students of our school set off with light steps on their spring outing to Shanghai LEGOLAND. Throughout the journey, all classes walked in neat, orderly lines. Amid cheerful conversations and laughter, the children radiated youthful vitality while remaining well-behaved and disciplined—fully demonstrating the fine spirit of each class.

Stepping into the colorful and marvelous world of LEGO, the students patiently waited in line, took turns courteously, and experienced various attractions in an orderly manner, showing excellent conduct throughout. During the creative building session, they gathered together, collaborated in teams, exchanged ideas, and helped one another, using bricks to build small worlds of friendship and creativity.

At lunchtime, they maintained a quiet and civilized atmosphere. After the meal, they proactively tidied their tables and picked up litter, consciously helping keep the environment clean.

This spring outing not only gave the children wonderful memories filled with fun but also highlighted their strong sense of community, discipline, and good manners—truly reflecting the bright and positive character of our young pupils.
