庆祝活动开始时，我们的学生介绍了世界戏剧日的重要性，分享了他们自主编演的戏剧作品。来自MYP中学四年级和五年级的学生在英语语言与文学课程（ELL）上学习“什么是戏剧？”的单元后，与观众共同探索了组成戏剧的各个要素。PYP小学四年级的学生则表演了一场名为《舞猴（Dance Monkey）》的舞蹈，将经典的中国故事与现代流行歌曲相融合。而来自MYP中学五年级的中国语言文学班级则利用课堂所学，展示了《金锁记》的戏剧视频和七首诗歌。

The event began with an introduction on the importance of World Theatre Day, followed by students from various classes presenting their drama works. MYP 4 and 5 students from the English Language & Literature class shared their unit called "What's the Drama?" which explores various elements of drama. PYP 4 students performed a dance creation called "Dance Monkey", blending a classic Chinese tale with a modern hit song. MYP 5 Chinese language and literature class presented a video summarizing their unit on "The Story of the Golden Lock" and seven poems. 

TWIS世界戏剧日还引入了CASE课外活动项目的戏剧课程，学生在此分享了戏剧课程是如何提高沟通能力和创新思维能力的。在庆祝活动的最后，我们的学生发布了TWIS有史以来第一部PYP音乐剧的预告片，让观众迫不及待地想看到即将上演的成品。在世界戏剧日这一天，学生以丰富多彩的表演展示了戏剧表演在教育中的力量，令人流连忘返。

The assembly also featured the CASE Drama program, where students shared how it enhances their communication and creative thinking skills. The assembly concluded with the announcement of the first-ever PYP musical play, leaving the audience eager to see the final product. TWIS showcased the power of drama in education, making World Theatre Day a memorable and engaging event.

3月14日是国际圆周率日，是世界人民一年一度庆祝数学常数“π”的节日。虽然“π”通常被称为“3.14”，但事实上它后面有着无限的、不重复的小数，自古以来吸引了众多数学家、科学家、艺术家和音乐家的目光。

On March 14th, people around the world celebrated International Pi Day, a day dedicated to the mathematical constant "π". Although "π" is commonly known as "3.14", it is an infinite, non-repeating decimal that has fascinated mathematicians, scientists, artists, and musicians for centuries.

在TWIS国际圆周率日活动上，我们的学生向观众解释了这一天的意义，分享了古代伟大的数学家阿基米德是如何成为第一个算出圆周率的。因为自那以后，无数的数学家一直在努力计算出更多的圆周率位数，至今，得益于计算机的发展，圆周率的位数已经达到了数万亿位。 

At the TWIS International Pi Day event, our students explained the significance of the day, sharing how Archimedes, one of the greatest mathematicians of the ancient world, was the first to calculate Pi. Since then, countless mathematicians have worked to calculate more and more digits of Pi, with computers now able to calculate trillions of digits.

“π”最引人注目的特性之一是它所蕴含的无限可能。这个独特的特性激发了我们的学生如Iris，她用颜色来代表不同的数字，创作了令人惊叹的数字图像；还有学生Ayden，他创作了基于“π”的音乐旋律。 国际圆周率日为学生了解“π”的实际应用和欣赏其创造性提供了绝佳机会。在未来，我们相信“π”会成为一种源源不断的灵感来源，发挥着更为重要的力量。

One of the most intriguing properties of Pi is that every possible number combination exists somewhere within it. This unique quality has inspired our students like Iris, who uses colors to represent different digits and create stunning representations of the number, and Ayden, who has composed music based on the digits of Pi. As the Pi Day event came to a close, it was clear that Pi is a number that has captured the hearts and minds of people from all walks of life, continuing to fascinate and intrigue us for years to come.

在国际文凭小学项目（IB-PYP）的教育观念中，学生的学习能动性始终发挥着重要作用，它为学生发展自我表达、自主选择和自主意识的思维提供了宝贵的机会。最近，TWIS举行了本学期的学生主导会议（SLC），学生利用这一平台向家长展示了他们的学习进展、学习成果和其他有待改善的领域。通过学生主导会议，学生学会如何表达自己的学习经历，建立自信，进而肯定自我成就。这一经历也让家长和学生之间实现有效、有意义的对话，发挥着重要的启迪作用。

Student's Agency, which gives students voice, choice, and ownership, is an essential aspect of the IB PYP beliefs and values. This week, students had the opportunity to showcase their learning to their parents through SLC (Student-Led Conferences), an event that allows students to lead the discussion on their progress, achievements, and areas for growth. Through SLCs, students learn to articulate their learning journey, build self-confidence, and take pride in their accomplishments. The experience was enlightening and enjoyable for both students and parents, as it created a platform for meaningful dialogue and feedback.
