The Vietnamese couple left Singapore for Germany in the middle of a 300m2 garden, there is something special that they like more
A garden of 300m2 filled with flowers of a Vietnamese couple in Germany
They were both born and raised in Hanoi, studying at the same university, but when they went to study abroad in the West, Thuy Dung and her husband became acquainted. Both graduated with a master’s degree in economics from a leading German university. They have been married for 12 years and have two children.
Five years ago, her family left Singapore and moved to the southern suburbs of Germany. They bought a house with a garden of 300 square meters. After working hours for two adults and finishing school hours for two children, the whole family takes care of this green space together.
Dung in the midst of the brilliant garden she built.
The 300m2 garden is planted by Ms. Dung with a variety of flowers in all four seasons so that “the garden is never sad”. Because of her love for roses, she grows many varieties such as Aloha climbing roses, Sunsprite yellow roses, Botticelli roses, David Austin roses… in her garden.
Living in a lovely house and garden also helps Dung’s family bond closely.
“I work a little less than my husband to have more time for my children. After picking up the children in the afternoon, my parents and I went out to see the garden, see if the trees are big, if there are any more flowers, if the leaves are diseased or if there are any naked slugs to catch.
Waiting for my father to come back, my father and I water the garden, and I cook rice. The garden helps children learn more names of plants and flowers and know how to wait patiently from the time the tree is just a root, then sprout, bud, and then bloom.“, Dung said excitedly.
Returning to Germany so that I can be close to nature
Not only choosing a house, a garden, an idyllic living environment, close to nature, Dung and her husband decided to return to Germany because the educational environment in this country matches the thoughts they want. direct the child.
When the children reached school age, Ms. Dung and her husband returned to Germany.
Ms. Dung boasted: “At kindergartens in Germany, children can wander everywhere, choose what they like to play and explore. In addition to the school’s sandy playground, there are times when you can go to the street, learn skills to cross the street with red and green lights.
Once a month, the children have a week to go to the forest, come back in the morning. And every day, it’s still raining or snowing, you will learn about plants, insects, which poisons to avoid and how to overcome if they are burned, …
The children also have to follow the rules, seriously sit in class, but sit in a circle, all equally discussed and face to face with her. The teacher is like a companion, not a rule maker for all to follow.
During class, the children learn to make handmade things from recycled materials, plant seeds, experiment, draw, play with clay, or make cards for parents, letters and numbers are almost nothing. is to get acquainted in the last year of kindergarten.“.
Ms. Dung further revealed that when they go to primary school, children will learn more letters, numbers, and calculations, but the picnic programs are still kept and improved. Physical activity is always valued, the children learn to swim, learn balance subjects, or weeks of climbing walls, running around the stadium are held quite often.
When children learn words, reading skills are paid great attention, according to the evaluation criteria towards knowing how to play with words in reading exercises, reading rhythm, moderate sound, correct punctuation, not swallowing sounds. , change in each dialogue and especially not staring at the book but having to interact with the listeners. In addition, elementary school children often had to prepare their own cardboard slides to present in front of the class on topics.
“The children do not have homework, if they have not done all the work in class, they will have 1 hour each week to complete them. Meanwhile, those who finished all assignments were selected to go to the library or to the coding room.
Another point about education in Germany that I really like is the parent meeting, there is always a class meeting and a private session. The class-wide parent-teacher conference is solely for the purpose of disseminating general school and class information.
As for the situation and development of the children, there are always private meetings with the teacher and the parents of each child. Good friends are only known to your parents, just like when you are at fault. Parents also do not have more opportunities if they want to compare their children with other friends, and when their children make mistakes, they are not afraid of being laughed at by many people.“, Dung revealed.
Not only at school, but every weekend, Dung and her husband and children take care of the garden, go to the market and experience the surrounding life.
Not only in the classroom, but at home, Ms. Dung and her husband also monitor the child’s development, but do not teach the child according to their own wishes. I just told you, you don’t have to be good at everything, but find what you like best to do. And you don’t need to compare yourself with anyone, just comparing yourself with the last time is enough.
Do not put pressure on their children, but Dung and her husband hope that their children can learn Vietnamese well so that they can talk to their grandparents and family in the countryside.
