今年的洲际嘉年华我们将一同探索多彩的非洲。
This year SUIS Qingpu’s Intercontinental Carnival will bring us together to explore the vast and spectacular African continent.
走进大厅,首先进入眼帘的是由美术组老师们提前为此次嘉年华设计并制作的精美装饰:他们以埃及为主题,用沙漠,狮身人面像,金字塔,法老门等装饰校园,使孩子们一进门就身临其境,感受到埃及的美
Entering the campus through the school lobby, the first things we could see were the exquisite decorations specially designed and constructed by the art teachers for this carnival. Embracing Egypt as the theme, they had decorated the campus with a sphinx, pyramids, the pharaoh’s gate and parts emulating the desert, so that our students could gain the feeling of being in Egypt when arriving at school.
今年非洲嘉年华开幕式的舞台上节目更是目不暇接、精彩万分。黄莹校长、Adam校长、刘桂香主任和语文组的老师们率先为大家带来了原创诗歌朗诵——《精彩的非洲》。在卢慧文总校长的致辞下,打开了非洲这奇妙国度的大门。外教老师们在鼓点中将故事娓娓道来,英语组的老师们用一场精彩的剧目将大家带入到了那独特的非洲文明之中。双语组的老师们分别用音乐和舞蹈给观众们带来了视觉与听觉的享受。音乐老师们在合唱一首著名的《Circle of Life》的歌曲后,又演奏了博茨瓦纳的马林巴乐曲《Amoxoxo》,中外教摇滚乐队表演了著名歌曲《Africa》。体育组的老师们结合南非世界杯主题曲《Waka Waka》带来了极具非洲特色的舞蹈。而美术组的老师结合非洲特色,编创了一支十分可爱搞怪的“魔力弹弹舞”。多才多艺的家长们则是用他们的热情舞姿征服了全场。最后在所有老师“快闪”的欢快舞步中,现场的气氛推向了顶点。
This year, the Opening Ceremony of the African Carnival was dizzying and wonderful. Under the leadership of Co-acting Principals Ms. Sunny Huang and Dr. Adam Neufield as well as the Head of the Primary Department, Ms. Helen Liu, the teachers from the Chinese department started off the ceremony with an original poetry recitation of “Wonderful Africa”. Following the poem, Ms. Maxine Lu, General Principal of the Xiehe Education Group, provided a speech to all, opening the door for the students to this wonderful continent Africa. The English teachers introduced the audience to African culture with a storytelling and a wonderful play. Our bilingual teachers used music and dance to bring the audience some amazing and lively entertainment. In a choral setting, the music team sang the famous song “Circle of Life”, and, after teachers played a Botswanan marimba piece called, “Amoxoxo”, the school’s rock band performed the famous song “Africa” by Toto. Everyone seemed to be immensely enjoying the splendour of African music. Teachers from the physical education team delivered an exciting African dance using the theme song from the World Cup in South Africa, “Waka Waka”. Teachers from the art team surprised the audience with a very colourful dance called, “Magic Dance”. Parents brought to life a wonderful and traditional dance called “Sinte”, using their enthusiasm and energy to conquer the audience. Finally, in flash mob style, all teachers danced the song “Jerusalema”, bringing the atmosphere to its climax.
孩子们在精彩节目中迸发出了对非洲这片土地的探索兴趣,迫不及待地开启这场奇妙之旅。让我们在非洲嘉年华闭幕式见!
