Brief Introduction of Fang Jia Hutong Primary School in Dongcheng District, Beijing

Mr. Lao She, a famous people's artist, is the third president of the school. With the motto of "carrying forward Lao She's spirit, being a true, kind and beautiful person" and the characteristics of carrying forward national culture and Chinese culture, the school has long actively organized students to carry out colorful Chinese learning and publicity activities such as ancient poetry recitation, guides to Chinese studies, cultural relics protection teams, and school-based courses such as calligraphy, martial arts, clay sculpture, paper-cutting, tea art, folk art, stamp collecting and Beijing flavor culture.

In July 2005, the school merged with Guo Xue Primary School, which strengthened the teaching staff and expanded the scale of running a school. The school takes "carrying forward Lao She's spirit, carrying forward national culture, developing innovative thinking and running a top-quality school" as its school purpose and "China culture" as its school characteristic.

The school attaches great importance to the all-round development of students' morality, intelligence and physical fitness. It has been rated as "Dongcheng District Sports Traditional Project School (Volleyball)" for many years, and has achieved good results in district-level competitions for many times, so volleyball players have been selected by key middle schools nearby. In addition, every Monday afternoon, in order to enrich students' after-school life, interest groups such as computer, English, mathematical thinking training, Go, calligraphy, recitation, paper-cutting, model airplane and chorus are set up to give full play to students' personal specialties and improve their comprehensive quality. Students have also achieved fruitful results under the careful guidance of teachers. Because the school attaches importance to the all-round development of students, every year's graduates are well received by middle schools.

In recent years, the school has successively won the honors of "Civilized Unit in Dongcheng District", "Advanced Unit Meeting the Standard in Dongcheng District Games", "Advanced Group of Love Science Month", "Sunshine Heart Action" Model School, advanced group of the national key project "Building a Whole School Moral Education System", and China Classical Poetry Reading Project Characteristic School. It is also an experimental school of the United Nations "Joint Innovation Plan for Improving the Learning Quality of Primary School Students".

This school tries to integrate several courses, such as reading, writing, arts and crafts. Starting from these subjects, actively promote the implementation of school-based curriculum, and arrange different learning contents according to grades (such as reading class, learning Lao She's children's songs in grade one or two; Studying Lao She's essays and essays in the third and fourth grades; In grade five or six, I studied Lao She's novels and short stories, and studied drama. Another example is to arrange the practice of soft and hard pen calligraphy in writing class in a planned way; Arts and crafts classes should enable students to master traditional Chinese skills such as paper cutting, cloth sticking and clay sculpture. Finally, in addition to the exhibition, students can also design a complete set of stamps based on these works, which is organically connected with the stamp design activity of "seeing the world in a square inch" proposed by the school in recent years, laying a foundation for cultivating students' professional knowledge. In 2005, it was awarded the title of "National Youth Philatelic Demonstration Base" by the National Philatelic Federation.
