School Events丨FLIS首次“国际日”活动来袭！“最受喜爱国家”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“国际日”？

　　作为二十世纪中期以来被广泛使用的概念，“国际日”的目的，是引起大家对一个国际范围内的话题或想法的审视。通过在国际日的庆祝，教师可令学生了解和尊重多元的国际文化和民族风俗。在当日，每个班级会有各种不同的活动，各自代表一个国家。其中一些是教育活动，另一些活动则与游戏或食物相关。这类活动可根据学生年龄与班级的个别需求进行调整。

　　此外，在这天每个孩子都将得到一本“护照”，用于他们在各个班级“环球旅行”时使用。同时，他们也将在旅行时获得护照上的盖章。

 

　　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.

　　所有福州西湖国际学校的班级都参加了此次活动，大家玩得非常开心！作为幼儿园及小学部校长，Jeanne女士发表了欢迎当日来客，包括所有家长及学生的演讲。之后六年级同学带来了相当精彩的非洲鼓表演！接着是大家期待已久的“英雄秀”——学生们装扮成各个班级/国家英雄代表的样子，帅气地走过红毯并发表对本班级/国家的介绍。每个孩子的表现都很棒！

　　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!

　　接下来的“环球旅行”也十分有趣。班级都根据相应国家的文化进行了装饰，穿梭其中仿佛踏入了一个地球村！许多班级还准备了对应国家的代表食物，所以这也是一趟大饱口福的旅程哦！

　　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!

　　根据规则，“旅客”们要在“联合国办公室”为最爱的“国家”投出他们宝贵的一票，你投票了吗？我们很高兴地宣布，获得福州西湖国际学校2017年国际日“最受喜爱国家”的是九年级所代表的中国！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!
