     在英语学习的同时，我校积极开展英语综合实践活动。英语综合实践活动具有丰富的育人价值，指向核心素养发展的育人目标，有助于培养学生适应未来发展的正确价值观、必备品格和关键能力。在这期的英语综合实践活动中，同学们带我们体验了端午节包粽子的传统习俗。

     这个活动不仅让孩子们亲身感受到了中华文化的博大精深，还能提高了大家的动手能力和协作精神。在包粽子的过程中，孩子们学习了如何选用新鲜的粽叶、调配糯米和各种馅料，以及如何将粽子包裹得既美观又紧密。每一个步骤都蕴含着丰富的文化内涵和技巧，让孩子们在欢笑与专注中感受到了端午节的浓厚氛围。通过这次活动，孩子们不仅学会了包粽子这项传统技能，更加深了对中华传统文化的理解和尊重。
