美好的10月开端，莫过于一场别开生面的学生才艺秀！不同于每学年一次的茱莉亚戏剧节以及音乐盛典，在“自由组合、形式不限”的零束缚规则下，我们的学生表演可谓是天马行空，惊艳旁人。例如原本在校园里正经得跟小大人一样的高年级学生，会穿着背带裤，一边打篮球一边热舞，逗乐了在场的所有观众；原本在学校里呆萌安静的低年级小男孩，在拿起鼓槌的瞬间，摇身一变成节奏大师，游刃有余地处理着面前比他个人大好几倍的架子鼓……节目回顾欢迎点击下方的视频 ↓

这样新颖的才艺秀，一方面是想让学生们通过艺术展示的方式，大胆展示自己的才华及创意，积极融入集体；另一方面也希望学生们在日常冗杂的课业后，情绪有一个外泄的通道，可谓一举两得。

古有云，腹有诗书气自华，10月的课堂，因古诗词诵读而精彩。早在9月开始，在语文组老师们的精心策划下，我们便举行了经典诵读活动，让孩子们利用早读时间和课余时间背诵中国经典诗词歌赋，引导孩子们感悟中国文化，提高孩子们的人文素养；同时也能帮助孩子们增强语感，积累语言材料。

10月14日，学生被分成4个年龄组，通过1V1 PK、车轮战等方式，进行了一场惊心动魄的经典诵读比赛。活动让每个孩子都积极参与进来，背诵诗歌，感受诗歌的魅力！

如果不是因为这场英语配音大赛，你可能还未曾发现学校居然卧虎藏龙，拥有如此多双语宝藏学生。经典的《疯狂动物城》《海绵宝宝》《小王子》等桥段，被学生们惟妙惟肖地复刻出来，一句句流利的英文配上丰富的腔调，宛如走进了原装片场，让人直呼过瘾！

本次英语配音大赛的组织者是我们的小学英语老师及外方班主任 Ms. Aoife. 在谈及组织配音大赛的意义以及如何帮孩子们选择适合的配音片段的时候，Aoife老师颇有深刻体会：

除了在文学及艺术领域，在这个丰富的10月，也同时是孩子们参加国际学校联盟举办的校际体育联赛的焦点时刻。10月中旬，我们的中学男、女排球队参加了珠江国际学校协会（PEARL RIVER CONFERENCE）的排球比赛，与蛇口国际学校（SIS）、荟同国际学校（Whittle）等多所国际学校的队伍交手比拼。孩子们勇敢出赛，毫不怯场，学到了许多宝贵的经验。

除此之外，上周六，我们的中学足球队代表学校参加了珠江国际学校协会（PRC）足球赛。并邀请了家长现场参与观看。我们希望，通过这种大型的校际比赛，能让同学们走出自己的舒适圈，勇敢面对外界的竞争，戒骄戒躁，收获全方位的自己。

一年一度的角色扮演节如期而至，同学们在今天穿上自己喜欢的角色衣服，扮演电影或者卡通人物。大家会填写一张属于自己角色的介绍卡片，并用英语向同学们介绍自己，回答与角色相关的问题。不同年级之间还有不同的游戏PK环节，为活泼的校园又增添了几分生机盎然。

为了让我们的学生有机会与遍布全球的诺德安达学校的同龄人交流，诺德安达笔友活动正在热烈进行中。每个学生需要准备一张明信片，包含内容可以 是一幅中国风景画、素描或拼贴画，以及一个简短的自我介绍。完成后的明信 片将会寄往另外一所学校，以庆祝11月17日的世界学生节。同时，作为诺德安达全球校园计划的一部分，每个班级都将与来自另一个国家的一群同龄人联系起来，让他们有机会就日常生活及其他话题进行提问并回答。

除了上述活动与比赛，我们还正在开展书法比赛、茱莉亚戏剧节角色试镜等活动。本周天是我们首场2023年春季招生开放日，欢迎预约报名参加，进一步了解我们丰富的校园文化。

The beginning of October is our wonderful Student Talent Show! Different from the Juilliard Drama Festival and Music Festival, which are held every school year, our students' performances are unrestrained and amazing under the rules of "free combination and free form". For example, the senior student who used to behave maturely on campus would wear suspenders and dance while playing basketball, which amused all the audience present; not to mention the lovely and quiet little boy we are familiar with, now picking up the drumsticks, suddenly became a rhythm master! Please click the link below to review the video.  ↓

Such a novel talent show, on the one hand, is to let students show their talent and creativity through performances, and actively integrate into the collective; On the other hand, we also hope in this way can help students feel relaxed and happy in the daily homework.

As early as September, under the careful planning of the Chinese teachers, we started our classic reading activities. Students are allowed to use the morning reading time and spare time to recite classic Chinese poems and songs. Therefore, the students can improve their humanistic quality, enhance their sense of language, and accumulate language materials. 

On October 14th, students were divided into four age groups and had a thrilling classic reading competition. The competition lets every child actively participate in and feel the charm of poetry!

If it wasn't for the English dubbing competition, you might not have noticed that there are so many brilliant bilingual students at school. Classic scenes from "Zootopia", "SpongeBob SquarePants" and "The Little Prince" were reproduced by the students vividly. Our students spoke English fluently with a rich accent, just like turning the original sound on, which gives us a feast for the ears.

This English Dubbing Competition organizer is Ms. Aoife, our primary school English teacher, and foreign homeroom teacher. When talking about the significance of organizing dubbing competitions and how to help children choose suitable dubbing segments, Aoife has a deep understanding:

If you are interested in Ms. Aoife's teaching, please scan the poster at the end of the poster and attend our first spring enrollment Open Day in 2023 to experience our wonderful English class.

In addition to literature and the arts, this rich month of October is also a spotlight for children to participate in the sports activities organized by the international school league. In mid-October, our middle school boys' and girls' volleyball teams took part in the PEARL RIVER CONFERENCE volleyball competition, competing against teams from many international schools, such as Shekou International School (SIS) and Whittle. 

Besides, last Saturday, our middle school football team represented our school in the PRC football match, and our parents are also invited to participate in the scene. We hope that through this large-scale inter-school competition, students can get out of their comfort zone, bravely face the outside competition, guard against arrogance and impatience, and gain an all-around self.

Today, students dress up in their favorite character clothes and act as their favorite movie or cartoon characters. Everyone will fill out an introduction card for his character role and introduce himself in English. There are also different games between different grades.

To allow our students to engage with peers across the Nord Anglia family of schools located around the globe, each student in the school is asked to prepare a postcard containing a painting, drawing, or a collage of scenery in China and a short self-introduction. This postcard will then be sent to a school of choice to celebrate international students’ day taking place on the 17th of November. At the same time, as a part of the Nord Anglia Global Campus program, each class is going to relate to a group of peers from another country giving them a chance to ask and answer questions about their daily life and other topics of choice.

In addition to the above activities and competitions, we are also holding handwriting competitions, the Nord Anglia Pen Pals, and auditions for roles in the Juilliard Drama Festival. This Sunday is our first Open Day for Spring 2023. Please scan to register.
