近日，中国教育部正式印发《义务教育课程方案》，将“劳动”从原来的综合实践课程中完全独立出来，其设计的课程方案涵盖三大类别和十个任务群，比如日常生活劳动类、生产劳动类和服务性劳动类。这意味着，从今年9月起，国内中小学生将参与诸如做饭、种植、清洁家务等课程。

Recently, the Chinese Ministry of Education has released the new national curriculum for compulsory domestic labor, covering three main categories and ten task groups such as daily work, productive work and service work. This means that primary and secondary school students in China will be expected to take courses such as cooking, planting and cleaning.

新课标方案的发布，也验证了TWIS自创校以来所一直坚信的教育理念——将“服务与行动”的学习纳入IB课程，让学生有机会去采取富有意义的行动，从而改善学校、当地社区和更广阔世界的环境。我们鼓励学生把他们的课程所学与社区所见切实地关联起来，成为富有爱心和社会责任感的21世纪公民。

The revised Chinese curriculum validates what TWIS has always believed in since its inception. By integrating service learning in the IB curriculum, TWIS students have plenty of opportunities to take meaningful action that benefits the school, its local community and the wider world. TWIS students make connections between what they learn from the classrooms and what they can practice in the community, and become caring citizens of the 21st century with social responsibility.

同时，TWIS校园内拥有一套完善的生态系统，赋予了学生无尽的机会进行探索、行动和反思。我们有用以种植草本的社区花园、养着各种生物的动物农场和种类丰富的植物园，以及设备齐全的烹饪教室。而这些区域都得益于学生的行动，他们积极参与种植和浇灌植物，喂养和爱护我们的动物。当学生在真实的环境中亲身参与体验式学习时，学习便有了更深层的意义。

The entire ecosystem in the TWIS campus facilitates service learning where students are able to explore, act and reflect. We have community gardens for growing herbs and vegetables, animal farms and botanical gardens with a variety of flora and fauna, and well-equipped cooking facilities. These different areas benefit from the presence of our students who engage in planting and watering the plants, and feeding and petting our farm animals. Learning takes on a deeper meaning as students engage in hands-on experiential learning in authentic settings.

IB课程一直鼓励和引导国际文凭学习者成为富有关爱之心的社区成员，以开展服务的形式，为改善他人的生活和环境而采取行动。

The IBO through its programmes has always encouraged IB learners to become caring community members who take action to improve the lives of others and the environment in the form of performing service.

在小学项目中，“行动”这一重要因素具有特殊的意义。作为学习过程的结果，小学项目利用探究性单元引导学生主动展开负责任的行动，有机会涉及到服务。

In the PYP, action is one of the elements of the programme in which there is an expectation that successful inquiry will lead to responsible action. This action is initiated by the student as a result of the learning process, which may involve service.

“服务即行动”教学大纲（中学篇）

Service as Action in MYP

中学项目的“行动”建立于小学项目之上，是“服务即行动”学习过程的延续，旨在帮助学生发展自我意识和适合他们成长阶段中的社区责任。根据不同年级水平，学生有着不同阶段水平的考核标准和服务与行动的要求指南。

Action in the MYP builds upon the action initiated in the PYP and continues as an essential component of the learning process. The MYP aims to help students develop their personal understanding, their emerging sense of self and their developmentally appropriate responsibility in their community. Depending on the grade level, students are assessed at different levels and have different requirements for service and action.

“服务即行动”教学大纲（大学预科项目篇）

Service as Action in DP

“服务即行动”在IBDP（国际文凭大学预科项目）阶段持续发展为CAS（创造、行动、服务）——国际文凭项目的一个核心组成部分。它鼓励学生在开展创造、行动与服务的同时，提高对自我力量和成长领域的意识，应对新的挑战，规划并发起各种行动。

"Service as Action" is part of the CAS programme (Creativity, Activity and Service) in the Diploma Programme. Students continue to increase their awareness of their own strengths and areas for growth, undertake new challenges, and plan and initiate action.

你或许会好奇，在课程大纲的指引下，TWIS是如何将这些内容变得具体而真实？为了让学生和家长更沉浸式地理解IB课程中的“服务即行动”和独特的校园生态环境，TWIS在5月28日的学校开放日期间举办了主题为“农场欢乐日（Farm Fun Day）”的活动，让受邀到校的家庭亲身体验TWIS是如何将实践融入课程的。

Are you curious about how TWIS takes action to conduct the "Service as Action" in the IB Programmes? On May 28, selected families joined our Farm Fun Day to experience firsthand how we integrate acquiring practical skills in our curriculum.

TWIS特别邀请了PYP小学项目协调员和社区项目协调员为观众详尽地讲述了“服务即行动”的教学大纲，并分享了TWIS是如何通过PYP小学跨学科（transdisplinary）和MYP中学学科交叉（interdisplinary）来实施“服务即行动”的。除了讲座分享外，学生和家长还被邀请到植物园、社区花园和烹饪教室来一起体验TWIS学生的日常！

Our PYP Coordinator and Community Project Coordinator delivered an enriching and comprehensive information session, sharing how TWIS students are implementing the Service as Action through the PYP  transdisciplinary learning and the MYP interdisciplinary learning. In addition to the presentations, students and parents visited the animal farm, botanical garden, community garden and cooking room to experience the daily life of TWIS students!

“闻味猜植物”环节

Sniff and Guess Game

你对草药的了解有多深？你能根据它们的气味和叶子的形状来识别哪些是薄荷、迷迭香、罗勒叶或柠檬草吗？在“闻味猜植物”的游戏环节，我们惊喜地发现不少访客都能成功猜对！

How well do you know your herbs? Can you identify which ones are mint, rosemary, basil or lemon grass based on their smell and the shape of the leaves? There were quite a lot of good guesses from our guests!

动物农场：“关爱动物”行动

Caring Animals at Petting Farm

从小培养儿童爱护动物的方式，能让他们关注动物的权利，并在未来改善动物的福利。在这一天，参与体验的家庭不惧炎热的天气，满心欢喜地从植物园采摘植物来喂养我们的兔子。

The love for animals from a young age is a brilliant way to help children understand the concept of animal rights and improve animal welfare in the future. Invited families did not seem to mind the scorching heat as they became engrossed picking plants from the botanical garden to feed our rabbit family.

社区花园：种植植物

Planting at Community Garden

在挖掘土壤、种植蔬菜种子和用回收的牛奶盒进行浇灌的过程中，相信访校家庭能从中获得治愈的力量。在TWIS，我们尽可能多地使用回收再利用的物件来贯彻环保意识。

Our guests experienced the therapeutic effect of digging soil, planting vegetable seeds and watering their recycled milk cartons. At TWIS, we make a conscious effort to reduce our environmental impact by recycling and reusing as much as we can.

烹饪时刻

Cooking Time

TWIS的烹饪教室拥有完备的消防设施和安全合规的厨房用具。厨艺课不仅存在于备受TWIS学生欢迎的CASE课外课程之中，还存在于学生的探究性单元中。在学校开放日这一天，学生和家长共同参与普切塔意式面包的烘培和制作冰镇的香茅柠檬水——当然，原料均来自我们的社区花园。

The Cooking class is one of the most popular CASE activities at TWIS. The cooking classroom is well equipped with kitchen appliances and utensils, and fire-fighting facilities. Our units of inquiry also integrate the use of the cooking room as often as possible. On the open day, students and parents put their hands on making bruschetta. and lemongrass lemonade – the ingredients come from our gardener, of course.

以开放校园的方式，TWIS与不同的当地家庭共同分享了TWIS学生的日常学习生活，很高兴与大家共度了一个趣味十足的下午。在本月，TWIS还会推出更多其他主题的体验课程，名额有限，欢迎与TWIS招生官取得联系！

Opening its campus is one way for TWIS to share with the local community what our students get to experience on a regular basis. It was indeed a FARM FUN-filled afternoon for visitors and our staff! Families who want to give children a full, enriching IB educational experience are welcome to contact us to find out about other exciting events happening in June.
