School Events丨FLIS首次“國際日”活動來襲！“最受喜愛國家”花落哪家？

　　Last Friday was a big success since we celebrated FLIS's first International Day! This year's theme is "Global Journey - Hero's hometown", including countries, citizens, tourists and other roles.

 

　　What is it? 什么是“國際日”？

　　作為二十世紀(jì)中期以來被廣泛使用的概念，“國際日”的目的，是引起大家對一個國際范圍內(nèi)的話題或想法的審視。通過在國際日的慶祝，教師可令學(xué)生了解和尊重多元的國際文化和民族風(fēng)俗。在當(dāng)日，每個班級會有各種不同的活動，各自代表一個國家。其中一些是教育活動，另一些活動則與游戲或食物相關(guān)。這類活動可根據(jù)學(xué)生年齡與班級的個別需求進(jìn)行調(diào)整。

　　此外，在這天每個孩子都將得到一本“護(hù)照”，用于他們在各個班級“環(huán)球旅行”時使用。同時，他們也將在旅行時獲得護(hù)照上的蓋章。

 

　　In widespread use since the mid-20th century, the "international day" concept is intended to observe an idea or topic of worldwide concern. Celebrating different countries, traditions and cultures across the world during International Day will teach the children in your class to respect and embrace international friends. Have a number of different activity stations around the room, with each focusing on a different country. Some activities should be educational, and others can include games or food. Activities can be altered depending on the age group, as well as any specific needs of your class.

　　Besides, that day each child will be given a "passport". As they travel to different homerooms, they have their passports stamped with that country's name.

　　所有福州西湖國際學(xué)校的班級都參加了此次活動，大家玩得非常開心！作為幼兒園及小學(xué)部校長，Jeanne女士發(fā)表了歡迎當(dāng)日來客，包括所有家長及學(xué)生的演講。之后六年級同學(xué)帶來了相當(dāng)精彩的非洲鼓表演！接著是大家期待已久的“英雄秀”——學(xué)生們裝扮成各個班級/國家英雄代表的樣子，帥氣地走過紅毯并發(fā)表對本班級/國家的介紹。每個孩子的表現(xiàn)都很棒！

　　All FLIS classes took part in and enjoyed the event very much! As Principal of ECE and Primary school, Ms. Jeanne Sobo delivered a warmly speech, expressing her welcome to all. Then G6 students gave a brilliant drum performance! Followed by it was the awaited "Heroes Show", in which students dressed as the country's famous heroes, representing his/her class, walking the red carpeted aisle and introducing their classes/countries. They really did a good job!

　　接下來的“環(huán)球旅行”也十分有趣。班級都根據(jù)相應(yīng)國家的文化進(jìn)行了裝飾，穿梭其中仿佛踏入了一個地球村！許多班級還準(zhǔn)備了對應(yīng)國家的代表食物，所以這也是一趟大飽口福的旅程哦！

　　Later the classes/countries visits were so much fun! Classrooms were decorated to show their own countries’ culture, weaving through them was just like entering a global village. Some of them had prepared its country’s representative food, so it was also a delicious journey as well!

　　根據(jù)規(guī)則，“旅客”們要在“聯(lián)合國辦公室”為最愛的“國家”投出他們寶貴的一票，你投票了嗎？我們很高興地宣布，獲得福州西湖國際學(xué)校2017年國際日“最受喜愛國家”的是九年級所代表的中國！恭喜！

　　According to rules, tourists will stop by “the United Nations office” to vote for their favorite countries after the journey.  Have you voted for your favorite country? Now we're glad to announce that the winner of FLIS 2017 International Day is G9-China! Congratulations!
