Hujing Elementary School, located in Magong City, Penghu County, has newly joined the "Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Education Experimental Curriculum Development Project for Secondary Schools and Elementary Schools" promoted by the Ministry of Education this year. It vigorously promotes cross-disciplinary aesthetic education on campus and uses materials for campus landscaping. Local stones, floating balls and the basalt landscape of Xishan Mountain are also used to arrange stones into totems, and painted floating balls are made into hanging decorations. Walking into the campus feels like being in a small art museum.
Principal Lin Yanling said that teachers and students use routine beach cleaning activities to create art with the objects picked up from the sea. Recently, the teachers and students of the school used floating balls and driftwood to splice them into a cute tiger. The students called it "Ahu" . Lin Yanling moved "Ahu" to Nanhai Pier, hoping that tourists coming to Hujing community can feel the enthusiasm of Hujing through "Ahu", and it will become a new landmark to promote Hujing community.
In addition to updating the campus landscape, Hujing Elementary School also develops innovative courses. Hokkien language teacher Xu Qiuxia uses "centipede", one of the three treasures of Hujing, as the core theme of the course. She thinks of the lyrics based on the centipede theme and combines it with Hokkien praise songs. Teachers and students jointly create nursery rhymes and then use "three boards" to perform them, so that students not only If you fall in love with Hokkien, you can also sing local songs from Hujing casually.
