Over the past few weeks, our 6th-grade Humanities students have been immersed in the rich history and culture of Ancient China. As they explored key aspects of this fascinating civilization, they learned about their myths and traditions, particularly the creation story of Pan Gu and Nu Wa. To conclude the unit, students participated in an exciting hands-on activity where they used ancient Chinese Oracle Bone scriptures to create a cover for this legendary tale. This project encouraged them to engage with the main concept of Ancient Chinese writing which are the concepts of pictographs and ideographs. It was a wonderful way to bring history to life and foster a deeper appreciation for one of the world’s oldest civilizations.
