【TCS Experiential Learning Friday | G7–G9 Joyful New Year Celebration: Creative Hands-on Interdisciplinary Experience Activity】

As the semester drew to a close and Lunar New Year approached, last Friday at TCS was not just about preparing for the holiday.

Through interdisciplinary, hands-on experiential activities and mixed-age collaboration,

students engaged with Lunar New Year traditions while building meaningful learning experiences.

For this activity, students from different grade levels were regrouped into four mixed-age teams

and rotated through four themed stations.

Station 1｜Pipe Cleaner Craft

With teacher guidance, students used pipe cleaners to create Lunar New Year decorations.

Students who finished early naturally stepped in to help their teammates, and tables were soon filled with adorable persimmons and festive lanterns.

Station 2｜3D Printing Pen Creation

Centered on the “Year of the Horse” theme, students used 3D printing pens to create their own colorful horses.

While working from the same theme, each student chose different colors, and some even added their names to personalize their creations.

Station 3｜Secrets of Ecology – Terrarium Setup

Following the teacher’s explanation, students quickly and carefully completed their terrarium setups. They then thoughtfully welcomed the shrimp into their jars, watching as the lively movement among the plants immediately captured everyone’s attention.
