NEHS Elementary Department Visits Hualien County Chong De Elementary School
What images form in your mind when you think of the words “Hualien” and “Taroko”? Is it the spectacular views of the mountains and water with a breath of fresh air, or is it the aboriginal tribes? In late January, the elementary department’s 6th graders, the NEHS news reporters, teachers, and parents took a three hour railway train ride to Hualien county’s Chong De elementary school, which is located near the Taroko tribe next to the coastal regions. Before the crew’s arrival, the Chong De elementary school students brainstormed about issues they can “teach” the NEHS students. After long periods of discussing and brainstorming, the Chong De elementary school students decided that their culture is the most valuable knowledge they could teach the students. As a result, they organized a variety of activities, including archery, weaving, setting traps, playing reeds, playing xylophones, dancing, and mural storytelling. In return, the NEHS students designed twelve different science experiments for the Chong De students. This student exchange program was definitely an unforgettable experience. NEHS hopes that this interschool interaction can be sustained for the coming years.
