As part of the six IB transdisciplinary themes, ‘sharing the planet’ and ‘how we manage ourselves’ are the current focus of PYP students at ASJ. We tried to find out more about how we share finite resources with other people, as well as how we handle challenges when they go beyond one man’s limit, by utilizing the systems and organizations. With these thoughts in mind, teachers and students directed our attention to charitable activities.

作为IB六大超学科主题的一部分，“共享地球”以及“我们如何组织自己”是目前小学部的同学们思考的主要方向。如何与其他人分享资源，当面临的挑战超出个人能力范围时，如何通过团体的优势来解决问题，是同学们正在尝试探索的课题。抱着这样的思考，小学部的老师和同学们将目光投向了校内慈善活动。

The Charity Sale Day event was planned by the English subject group, and carried out by all Grade 6 students. The purpose of this event was to raise funds for underprivileged children in the city of Guangzhou.

慈善义卖日活动是由英语学科组策划，由六年级的全体同学全力合作完成的。这次活动的目的是为广州市的孤寡残障及贫困儿童筹集善款。

The Grade 6 students were very well prepared for this event. They set up a mini market at the side of the basketball court which included five snack booths to provide snacks and drinks to all fellow ASJ schoolmates and teachers. All the food and drinks were prepared by students themselves.

六年级的同学们为这次义卖日做了非常充分的准备。他们在学校风雨球场的一角设立了包含有五个零食摊位的义卖市场，为全体师生们提供零食和饮料的贩卖服务。零食摊位上售卖的所有食物和果汁都由六年级的同学们亲手准备。

The snack booths provided snacks with rich variety, including salad, cold noodles, roasted chicken wings, waffles, mini cakes, homemade honey lemon soda, and much more! Students from primary and secondary years had shown great enthusiasm for all the snack options, they were even willing to queue at the booth while waiting for booth owners to restock their merchandise!

零食摊位提供的商品种类非常丰富，包含了包括蔬菜沙拉，冷面，烤鸡翅，华夫饼，迷你蛋糕，自制蜂蜜柠檬苏打水等十几种小吃零食。小学部和中学部的同学们对这些零食表现出了极大地热情，甚至愿意在摊位前排队等待摊主们重新准备食物！

The charity sale market only opened briefly for less than an hour during the lunch break time, but the result for students was not minor. During the accounting session after the event, we were suprised to notice that we have raised over 5000 RMB from the charity sale alone! This is a clear indication that ASJ students had a great passion for charitable work.

义卖小集市只在午餐时段短暂的开放了不到一小时的时间，但是同学们获得了非常丰厚的成果。在活动结束后，老师和同学们清点钱款进行统计，发现在如此短暂的时间里，整个义卖小集市筹集了超过5000元的善款！充分展现出了港澳子弟学校同学们对慈善义卖活动的热情。

The Charity Sale Day event is the third and final component of the PYP English Charity Project. Looking back, the Grade 6 students has made a long way from an introduction PowerPoint slide for underprivileged children to a series of successful fundraising activities. Every step of the way, we have enjoyed it with all of our hearts! From the Funky Feet, to the Pajamas Day, and finally the Charity Sale Day, our students have shown us their understanding of dedication, perseverance, as well as compassion for the needy ones.

慈善义卖日活动是小学部英语慈善项目的第三个也是最后一个活动部分。回望过去，从一张简单的贫困儿童介绍幻灯片到一系列成功的筹款活动，六年级的同学们经历了许多，也成长了许多。这一路上的每一步，我们都全身心的投入并且享受了这个过程！从疯狂大脚，到睡衣日募捐，再到如今的慈善义卖日，我们的同学们向我们展示了他们所理解的奉献精神，坚持不懈，以及对贫困人群的同情和怜悯。
