从西班牙国庆日中领略多元文化

El Día De la Hispanidad (Hispanic Day)

在西班牙的日历上，10月12日被标记为“西班牙国庆日”，乃为纪念在1492年，航海家哥伦布到达美洲大陆。在TWIS的这一天，我们认识哥伦布的登陆给世界所带来的影响，理解为何当今超过20个国家使用西班牙语作为第一语言。

October 12th is written on the Spanish Calendar as Día de la Hispanidad or National Day, which translates into Hispanic Day. This date also marks the arrival of Christopher Columbus to the Americas in 1492. On this day at school, we wanted to recognize the influence the arrival of Columbus has brought to the world with over 20 countries using Spanish as their first language.

西班牙语连同英语和汉语成为当今最常使用的语言。TWIS拥有一个以西班牙语为母语的师生组织，这其中包括了西班牙语俱乐部的新成员。作为IB课程的重要组成部分，TWIS希望赋予学生学习多种语言的可能性，并通过语言领略多元文化。在西班牙国庆日这一天，所有学生都积极参与到寻找西班牙语国家的寻旗活动中，以培养国际思维。

Spanish together with English and Chinese being of the most common languages in use today. At TWIS, we have a community of native Spanish-speaking students and teachers, as well as new learners in our language support lesson. As an important part of the IB program, we want students to have the possibility to speak multiple languages, and understand the culture through the language. As part of the activities, students from all grades took part in a flag hunt of the Hispanic countries they had been assigned, helping to foster international-mindedness.

然而，我们不能仅从一个视角来思索历史，而应该用多重视角来审视。学校图书馆是学生的信息枢纽，一些年龄较小的学生制作了美国本土羽毛装饰品，以纪念在哥伦布到来之前共享这片土地的原住民。高年级学生则讨论了哥伦布登陆所带来的积极和消极因素，还探讨构成世界历史和文化重要组成部分的西班牙语系的艺术家、发明家和音乐家。

History though, could not be examined through one pair of eyes, but that of multiple perspectives. Our library serves as an information hub for students. Some of our younger students also made their own native American feather ornaments to commemorate the natives that shared the land before the arrival of Columbus. For our older students, discussions about the positives and negatives of Columbus’ arrival were discussed, the artist, inventors, and musicians that have flourished in Hispanic countries and now make up an important part of the world's history and culture.

TWIS拥有一支由多元文化构成的团队，他们愿意与学生分享热情、故事、历史和文化，开阔学生的视野，帮助他们塑造成为世界公民。作为终身学习者的学生通过西班牙语获得启发，进而利用图书馆母语区的资源进行探究和反思。

We have a multicultural team at TWIS that is willing to share their passions, stories, history and culture with our students, multiplying their perspectives and helping them shape into global citizens. Students can be inspired with Spanish and can then make use of our Mother Tongue div in the library to research and reflect as lifelong learners.

创意素描设计

Sketching in Design

在设计课堂上，MYP中学四年级的学生通过“同伴指导”的方式训练团队合作和沟通能力，同时进行素描的学习。学生阶段最为奇妙的事，离不开与同学合作、分享技能，并与同学一起认识和理解新知识。

MYP 4 Design students practiced their collaboration skills and their communication abilities by 'peer coaching' each other to learn the valuable skill of sketching.  It is always fun to work with friends to share skills and help peers know and understand new things. 

MYP设计课的学生们会花大量时间绘制和勾勒出脑海中所思索的创意设计项目。当他们需要在现实中以视觉呈现的方式向他人传达设计意图和计划时，学习素描的重要性油然而生。课堂所学的素描技能还可以延伸至学生的其他课程和生活中。近来，学生们学习结构素描，以展示设计的不同视角。

In MYP Design, students will spend a lot of time drawing and sketching the creative thoughts they have in their minds about a design project they are planning. But they also need to communicate visually to another person what their design intentions and plans are and that's why learning to sketch is so important. It's also a very enjoyable activity and hopefully, this skill of sketching will carry over to students' other classes and endeavors in life.  Today students learned how to make orthographic sketches to show varying perspectives on their designs.

IB学习者互相交流，协同合作，共享创意想法和技能，加强练习，以精进素描学习方法论。

IB learners help each other and share ideas and skills through collaboration and the learning skill of communication is appropriate to practice with each other to improve their abilities at this valuable skill.

三年级动物园研学之旅

Grade 3 Field Trip to Zoo

在三年级的探究性单元中，学生开始学习动物种类、栖息地和生态系统。完成这次课堂知识和现实生活相结合的探究性学习，有什么比去动物园更为合适的呢？

During this UOI our grade 3 students learned about different animals, habitats and ecosystems. So, what better way to end this inquiry than to go to the zoo? Students had the chance to make connections from what they learned in the classroom in real life.

在动物园的研学之旅中，学生有机会看到许多不同的动物和它们的栖息地。能够在现实生活中看到真实的熊猫、老虎、大象和蛇等动物，这对于学生来说是极富教育意义的。

During our field trip to the zoo, students had the chance to see many different animals and their different habitats. Students had so much fun seeing all the different animals in “real life” it was exciting and educational for them. Their favorite animals were the pandas, tigers, elephants and snakes.

学生有机会在动物园里尝试不同的游戏，令这次学习旅程充满了欢乐气氛。这个最后以冰激凌和丰富知识结束的一天，让师生们更期盼下次研学之旅的到来。

Students also had the opportunity to play different games at the zoo as well, which they enjoyed very much! They ended the day at the zoo with cold ice cream and more knowledge! Even the teachers enjoyed this field trip a lot!

一年级亲子野餐活动

Grade 1 Picnic with Parents

作为PYP小学探究性单元“我们是谁”的一部分，我们期待着拓展学生对社区和家庭的认识。上个月，一年级组织了一场亲子野餐活动，学生与家人共赴松山湖，一起探究和体验不同家庭是如何组成的，从而形成一个和谐的社区。

As part of our PYP unit of inquiry on Who We Are, we are looking forward to expanding our learning about communities and families. Last month, Grade 1 students organized a field trip/picnic to the Songshan Lake with their family members to celebrate our inquiry and experience how different families can come together to form a peaceful community.

野餐期间，师生和家长一起进行亲子互动体育游戏，如球类接力、飞盘、呼啦圈游戏和羽毛球运动等。

During the picnic, we played a lot of sports games with our classmates and parents, such as running back and forth with the ball between their back or head, frisbee, hula hoop and badminton together. Then we share snacks with each other.

家庭之间还互相分享着食物，零食包括披萨、寿司、天妇罗、果冻、水果。在活动的最后，学生围成一个圆圈，为父母歌唱《我们是一家人》曲目，还轮流介绍自己的家人。在这次美妙的亲子野餐活动中，学生们表现了关爱他人和友善沟通的良好品质。

Then we share snacks with each other. Parents brought some pizza, sushi, tempura, jelly, cookies, fruit, and all kinds of snacks. We really enjoyed that! After sharing snacks, we made a big circle and sing a wonderful song ”We Are Family” for our parents, and we took turns introducing our family to other families. It was a wonderful trip and students demonstrated being caring and good communication skills.
