2019洲际嘉年华 · 亚洲篇闭幕式
2019 Asian Carnival Closing Ceremony
当青浦协和的学生、老师和家长们还徜徉在神奇亚洲的探索之旅时，“亚洲探索——溯源东方印迹，揽胜亚洲传奇”已渐渐落幕。12月6日早晨，我们迎来了亚洲嘉年华闭幕式暨游园会活动。
While students, teachers and parents in SUIS Qingpu were still on their magical exploration of Asia, the Discovering Amazing Asia Express was already arriving at its final destination. On December 6th, we ushered in the closing ceremony of our Asian carnival and class carnival fair.
初冬的早上，操场上披着一层白霜，缓缓升起的雾气被“男儿当自强”音乐声打破。草地上出现了一群生龙活虎的功夫孩子！霎时，校园里气势如虹，呐喊声横空出世，为寒冷的冬日注入一股暖流。原来，孩子们在亚洲嘉年华活动期间，学习中华绚烂瑰宝——武术。少年强则国强，孩子们通过学习、表演武术，演绎中国魂，焕发勇敢、坚强、向上的中国少年精气神！
Early winter morning, a group of lively children in their Kung Fu outfits appeared on the playground! All of a sudden, the crisp air was filled with the harmonious sound of traditional Chinese Kung Fu music. Can you believe it — in just four short weeks of the Carnival, our students had learned Kung Fu! Energetically bursting with chi-powered cries and spine-chilling moves, the cold winter air became much warmer. The youth is strong, the country is strong, through the activity children not only learned the splendid treasure of China — martial arts, but also had a deep feeling of the brave, powerful upward motion of youth!
热闹的游园会
CLASSROOM CARNIVAL
瞧！一年级的小朋友们在亚洲站里探索的累累硕果，令人目不暇接！穿过1A班石库门门楼，仿佛置身民国时代老上海！1Ｂ班的家长志愿者们来到班级，为小朋友绘声绘色地介绍北京传统文化、诱人美食、特色建筑，还有北京2008年奥运历史和精神，令小朋友身临其境！接着走进1C班“舌尖上的中国”场馆。孩子们手绘 “中华美食图鉴”，了解中华传统饮食文化。忽然间，大家又被穿越到南北朝，置身长城，原来这是走进了1D班场馆，一起认识巾帼英雄花木兰。1E班五色油彩脸上画，一张张绚丽脸谱顶呱呱！1F班场馆“我的民族我的国”色彩丰富，元素众多，孩子们领略到各少数民族风土人情，学说少数民族问候语，参与趣味游戏，即兴表演民族舞蹈，品尝富有特色的民族小吃。在1G班小朋友的引领下，大家踏上西安文化、美食之旅。忆长安往事，览古都辉煌，溯华夏文明，品名城美食。
Wow! See the fascinating fruit of learning at the Grade 1 stations! Passing through the history of Shikumen in Class 1A, we felt like we were in old Shanghai. Parent volunteers from Class 1B came to the class to give children a detailed introduction of Beijing’s traditional culture, delicious food, characteristic buildings, and immersed them in the spirit and history of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Then we walked into Class 1C, whose theme was “A Taste of China”. The children learned about traditional Chinese food culture through the hand-painted “Chinese Food Atlas”. A few more steps and we were with North and South Dynasties and standing on the Great Wall. That was because we walked into Class 1D, whose theme was about the Chinese heroine Mulan. Look! The gorgeous face paintings of 1E were simply amazing! In Class 1F, the theme was “My Nation, My Country”. Children experienced the customs and greetings of various ethnic minorities. And we participated in fun games and the folk dancing and we enjoyed the ethnic snacks before leaving. Then, entering into Class 1G, recalling the past of Chang’an, our glorious ancient capital, we traced Chinese civilization and the famous city’s food. Led by the students of Class 1G, we embarked on a tour of Xi’an culture and cuisine.
二年级的班级场馆穿越时空，来到宋朝。首先感受到的是宋朝文化荟萃，在2A班体验宋词书法，感悟美，创作美；学习剪窗花，孩子们欢快地将自己的作品带回家珍藏；最吸引人眼球的当属投壶游戏，不亦乐乎! 2B班“故宫脊兽记忆图”、“皇上去哪儿了”、“曲水流觞”三个游戏又让大家欢笑连连！“曲水流觞”也是中国古代文人墨客诗酒唱酬的一项雅事。2C班盛世大唐之“美食品鉴家”、“唐朝人物知多少”、“我是唐朝小诗人”三个小游戏也独具特色。闯关成功的小朋友可获得一枚“花钿”。贴着“花钿”来到2D班，秦汉故事之“成语配对”、“建筑之斗拱搭建”、“秦汉游戏之击壤”三个游戏让我们在玩中学，学中玩，趣味横生！
As Grade 2 ventured on a journey into history, we crossed to the Song Dynasty. The first thing you can feel was the cultural gathering of the Song Dynasty. In class 2A, we experienced the fun of writing Song Ci with a brush, there was an intrinsic feeling of beauty and creation. Visitors experienced simple window paper cuttings, and the children took their delightful works home. The most exciting game was the “throwing pot”, which had many people wishing for another chance to play! Do not worry if you did not have enough fun and games — class 2B let you play “Memory map of the Forbidden City Beast”, “Where Did the Emperor Go?” and “Winding Water and Flowing Cup”– so much fun! “Winding Water and Flowing Cup” was a kind of elegant way for ancient Chinese literati to sing and pay for their poems and wine. Is it easy for class 2C to play the three little games of Tang Dynasty. All of the successful children poets got a “Mother of Flowers”. Take the “Mother of Flowers” to class 2D. Let’s play three games: Match the idioms of Qin and Han stories, arch building architecture and building Qin and Han games. We can play them in school anytime we like!
三、四年级把我们带到了日本和泰国。首站是千年古都、千庙之都——京都。走进3A班，你能感受到浓浓日本风情，由小导游们带你领略京都的衣食住行，欣赏班级主题海报；动动小手，做一做祈福挂偶——晴天娃娃。3B班教室布置精美，有各式各样日本儿童活动，得到意想不到的收获和惊喜！ “萨瓦迪卡”欢迎来到美丽的泰国！软软的泰语跟我学，香甜的芒果饭亲手烹……一场奇妙的“泰之盛宴”开启了，4B班的泰国美食吸引了许多“游客”。看！4A班教室好似杂技场，孩子们个个铆足了劲，不停地跳跃，把自己的脚踢得老高。原来，观看了高难度泰国藤球影片之后，大家跃跃欲试，也想体验一把藤球运动员的畅快！
Grade 3 and Grade 4 extended our exploration trip to Japan and Thailand. The first stop was Kyoto: Ancient Capital of Thousands of Years and Thousands of Temples. Entering Class 3A, there was an intense feeling of entering into old Japan. The young guides led you to have a close look at the clothing, food and accommodation in Kyoto, and their class posters. Move your fingers and make a Japanese sun doll for blessings. The exquisite decoration of Class 3B had you easily engaged with a Japanese childhood. Here you harvested endless gains and surprises! ” Sawatdee Ka”, welcome to our beautiful Thailand! You learned soft Thai and cooked sweet mango rice. A wonderful Thai feast was underway, and it attracted crowds of tourists. Look! The classroom of Class 4A was like an acrobatics field, and the children were all struggling to jump, kicking their legs high. They watched the difficult Thai Sepak Takraw performance video, so they were excited to experience the joy of being a professional Sepak Takraw player!
亚洲嘉年华期间，六年级走进了四个不同的国家。6A班领略了新加坡，6B班尼泊尔，6C、6D则是老挝和不丹。在不同的教室，孩子们能感受到东南亚佛教圣国老挝的风情，亲自制作串珠，并为自己的串珠赋予特定含义。素朴的装饰传递着尼泊尔宁静祥和的气息，一场与尼泊尔相关的图片数独游戏迅速拉近同学们与高山之国的距离，那澄澈的费瓦湖、那神秘的博达哈大佛塔，让人不禁想要亲临实地去一探究竟。
During Asian Carnival Grade 6 learnt about four different countries. 6A focused on Singapore, 6B learnt about Nepal, 6C studied Laos while 6D found out about Bhutan. The students experienced the happiness of creating beads by themselves. They not only had great fun, but also understood the meaning of beads. In class 6B, the simple decoration conveys the peaceful atmosphere of Nepal. A picture of Sudoku game shortens the distance between sudents and the country of mountains. The clear lake Fawa and the mysterious Podahada Pagoda make people want to go to the field to find out more about this country.
此外，六年级学生和家长还一起参加了亚洲知识竞赛，学生们也用海报的形式展示了所学的知识。总体而言，此次活动对于家长和学生来说都是难忘的学习历程。
Today we celebrated what the students learnt by having a quiz between the students and parents and also the students displaying posters that they made highlighting what they have learnt. Overall it has been a worthwhile learning experience for both the children and teachers.
历时一个月的亚洲嘉年华，在难忘和不舍中落下帷幕，祝贺此次亚洲嘉年华圆满举行！在此感谢为之辛勤付出的学校教职员工和家长们，更要赞美可爱的孩子们。虽然在青浦协和的学习时间很短，但孩子们勤奋好学，刻苦排练，每一份作品，都是一个惊喜和欢乐。
We are reluctant to say goodbye to 2019 Asia Carnival. We would like to say a huge “Thank you” to whole staff and parents. And especially to our adorable students for their hard-work and participation during this month. Their excellent efforts brought us endless joy and surprises.
“这次我学会了京剧步伐和动作。”
“亚洲嘉年华给我带来了无限快乐！”
“从模型到布置，到课程，真是把方方面面的文化都融合了。”
嘉年华是一次跨学科的探究学习，
是一次跨文化的理解与融合，
是一次家校互动的合作交流，
是一场承载着快乐与收获的庆典和传承！
挥挥手，
目送亚洲嘉年华，不说再见，
让我们相约下一场嘉年华盛事！
Carnival is a transdisciplinary learning activity in which different cultures can be understood and parents can cooperate more closely with teachers. It’s also a big celebration of happiness and harvest. We are looking forward to next year’s Carnival in SUIS Qingpu!
