沙沙故事会

Let us give a big round of applause to Queena from Koala class. She was chosen to be the representative of our school in a fierce talent competition that took place in Shenzhen.

沙沙故事会，是针对幼儿举办的英文阅读比赛，在此次阅读比赛中，PICLC考拉班的Queena获得了第二名的好成绩，为PICLC争得了荣誉，荣誉的获得是对Queena、Queena父母及老师心血与汗水的褒扬和嘉奖。

Her competitors came from different schools and just like her they also had to prove themselves to have talent. Queena showed to be not only talented, but also intelligent and brave.

Queena的竞争对手来自不同学校，他们都在为这场比赛全力以赴。Queena也不例外，为了比赛，付出了很多时间和精力，在比赛过程中，她不仅表现出了在英文演讲方面的优势，还展现了勇敢与自信的风采。

She had to beat all the other children here at Princeton and go out into the city competition.

Queena能代表PICLC出战可不容易，她是通过校内举行的比赛中，经过激烈角逐，一路过关斩将，最终站到区级比赛舞台上的。

She was so brave because to be all alone on a stage in front a room full of strangers shows how confident she was. She was able to perform and put on a great show and represent Princeton.

Queena勇敢、机智、自信、应变能力强，台风很稳健，看着舞台下密密麻麻的陌生人，她丝毫不怯场。她的表演有极强的感染力，她将精心准备很久的故事娓娓道来时，深深打动了舞台下的观众！

We are sure this memory will last her a life time and will help her along the way when doing public speaking. Let’s cheer her on for she showed what it takes to be a fierce competitor.

我们相信这段代表PICLC参赛的记忆,将伴随她一生，给她勇气和鼓舞，让她在之后的各种比赛中继续奋勇向前！

21天阅读活动

It has been said many times before, do as I do and not as I say. Children learn from their parents and teachers actions more than anything else.

当然，读书月活动，收获的不仅仅是Queena，PICLC的孩子们也都受益匪浅，因为老师们一直坚定一个道理，即“讲大道理不如给孩子做榜样”。并且在实际生活中，老师和家长以身作则，潜移默化中让孩子们学到很多课程上学不到的知识和技能。

And if we want children to read more and learn more we must be the role model and the support they need in order to acheive goals beyond their own immagination.

“实践出真知”，孩子们通过不断实践，从实践中获得的各种经验技能，但孩子的自主性相对来说比较弱，想让他们阅读更多、学习更多，我们就必须成为他们榜样和支持者，以实现超出他们自己想象的目标。

During the 21 day reading competition children from all the grades had a chance to read for 21 days withouth skiping a day.

We are very proud of those who were able to do this and get a wonderful experience from this.

因此，家校联合，我们举办了21天阅读打卡活动，在老师和家长的组织和监督下，所有年级孩子都要连续打卡21 天，从而养成一个连续阅读的良好习惯。

此外，能做到连续打卡21天的宝贝们，将获得学校颁发的奖状及礼物。我们为那些能够做到这一点，并从中获得美妙体验的孩子们感到非常自豪。

If you didn’t get a chance to participate this year you should try next year but also you can do this with your kids anytime not only during this competition.

As it is key to teach children the joy of reading from a young age so later on they don’t see it as a home work or a boring task. Let’s keep on explorring books which are a gateway to knowledge.

如果让孩子从阅读中获取乐趣，那他们就会把阅读当做一件有趣的事情去做，而不会把它当做家庭作业，从而感到无聊。因此，不管活动是否已结束，在日常生活中，我们仍然坚持每天带着孩子在书籍的海洋中探索。

PICLC英语口语大赛

What an awesome event the English Oral Competition was.

Each grade and class had a representative and they got to go on stage and display their skills. Whether it was singing, dancing, reading a story and or an introduction of themselves.

另外，本学期学校还举办了全校的英语口语展示比赛！每个班级都有一个代表上台展示自己的技能。

These were very brave kids who stood in front of over 150 people and were able to showcase their talents.

Every single one of the competitors displayed some great talent on stage and put on a great show for their classmates, teachers and parents. Hooray for the brave and talented!!!

这些勇敢的宝贝们站在 150 多人面前，丝毫不畏惧，或分享故事、或唱歌、或跳舞，每个宝贝都为同学、老师和家长带来了一场精彩的表演，展现出了自己独特的风采。

“神秘读者”活动

Mystery box proved to be a really rewarding weekly event for the children. We are very thankful for the parents that participated and those that didn’t you can try next year.

同时，我们还组织了“神秘读者”活动，这到底是怎么回事呢？跟着我一起来看看吧。

Every single student was tuned in to the stories being shared by parents every Thurday, and from toddlers to kindergarten they all had smiles before the event and even bigger smiles after the event

在每周四神秘读者故事会上，将有家长为孩子们带来各种有趣的故事，每一次分享，孩子们都沉浸在家长们讲述的故事中，他们的情绪随着故事情节的发展不断被牵动着，时而开怀大笑、时而因为担心故事主角而面露紧张的神色。

Kids really enjoyed stories being shared by their parents and or their classmates parents.

From toddler class to kindergarten you could hear children singing to the tune of the song in the hallways of the school throughout this month. « Mystery box, mystery box, what’s inside the mystery box ? »

孩子们真的很喜欢自己父母或同学父母分享的故事。 为什么这么说呢？从小班到大班，整个月你都可以听到孩子们在学校的走廊里唱着神秘读者的主题曲mystery box—— “mystery box，mystery box，what’s inside the mystery box？ ”

If you took part in this particular event we thank you and hope this won’t be your last time!

如果你要问这个活动是否精彩，或许每次故事会结束时孩子们依依不舍的神情，及对下次故事会的强烈期待都能给你答案。

非常感谢每一位参与神秘读者的家长，希望在下次的故事会上能再次见到您的身影，也希望能听到更多新的声音喔！

图书义卖活动

There were so many books being sold on the day of the book fair, and you could also see tons of smiles from all attendees.

当月，我们还举办了跳蚤市场图书义卖活动，这是孩子们最喜欢的活动之一，当天售出的书籍非常多，宝贝们在摊位前认真挑选着自己喜欢的书籍，还和同伴们一起讨论哪本书更好看。

The children were so happy to have a chance to buy a book and or books of their choice but also they were super happy to be selling to their friends. And recommending books to one another.

孩子们很高兴有这样的机会能买到心仪的书本，也很高兴能将自己阅读过的书籍通过这个活动分享给朋友们。

Unfortunately the rain came down on the event and we had to halt the sell for about 10 minutes but then we proceeded with the event and the students were happy to be at the event buying and selling again.

虽然活动中的阵雨让我们不得不停止销售大约 10 分钟，但随后在我们继续进行的活动中，宝贝们兴致不减，依然积极主动地再次参与到活动中。

Books, smiles, rain, books, smiles and rain. Our Book fair went something like that.

书，欢笑声，雨滴，书，欢笑声和雨滴。我们的跳蚤市场就是这样伴随着间歇的阵雨和宝贝们的欢笑声圆满结束。

We thank those parents who were part of this event and we hope to see them and others next year.

我们感谢参加此次活动的家长义工们，希望之后的活动中可以邀请到更多的家长义工和我们一起分享快乐！

We are also very happy to have collected a large sum of money that was donated to a charity of those less fortunate.

在这次的义卖活动中，我们将筹集到的款项捐给了那些急需帮助的家庭。其中，四名孩童收到了我们送去的的爱心，包括两名不满一岁的幼儿和两名小初在读的孩子。

这些孩子们家庭贫困，父母微薄的收入仅勉强维持家用，孩子们的病症对这些家庭无疑是雪上加霜，不仅给他们的生活带来了很大负担，也让父母承受了很大的精神压力。

虽然我们的捐款无法解决他们所有问题，但这些小小的爱心却可以解燃眉之急，为他们带去希望！

在捐赠之后，两位学生的感谢信让我们的心头暖意涌动，孩子们的义卖得到了最好的回报！希望这次的捐赠能让宝贝们感受到帮助他人的快乐，从而有助于培养他们良好的品行品格。
