Primary: A Journey Through Culture and Learning Community

As the harvest moon rises, we are reminded of the bounty of the season and the joy of community. At NCIS, we take this opportunity to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and immerse our students in the rich tapestry of cultural heritage and the IB learner profile.

丰收之月的升起,提醒着我们季节的丰收和社区学习的欢乐。在NCIS,我们不仅庆祝中秋节,还让我们的学生沉浸在丰富的文化遗产和IB学习者培养目标中。

The Mid-Autumn Festival: A Time for Reflection and Appreciation

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month in the lunar calendar. It is a time to express gratitude for the harvest and enjoy the full moon’s beauty. This year, our school has organized activities that align with the IB’s educational philosophy, fostering a sense of inquiry, appreciation of culture, and international-mindedness among our students.

中秋节:反思与感激之时

中秋节,农历八月十五,是我国的传统节日。在这一天,人们怀着感恩之情庆祝丰收,同时欣赏圆月的美丽。今年,我们学校举办了一系列与IB教育理念相符的活动,旨在培养同学们的探究精神、增进文化理解和拓宽国际视野。

Appreciating Cultural Diversity: The Art of Lantern Making

Cultural appreciation is at the heart of the IB mission. Our students have been actively involved in crafting their own lanterns, a traditional element of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This process hones their creativity and craftsmanship and allows them to appreciate the intricate artistry and symbolism inherent in this cultural practice.

欣赏文化多样性:灯笼制作

文化欣赏和认同是IB使命的核心。我们的学生积极参与制作自己的灯笼,这是中秋节的传统元素。这个过程不仅磨练了他们的创造力和手艺,还让他们欣赏到这一文化实践中固有的复杂艺术和象征意义。

Learning and Sharing: Mooncake Making

In celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, some classes hosted a mooncake-making session. Students engaged in the traditional art of crafting these festive delicacies, learning the process from preparation to baking. The activity was a delightful sensory experience, allowing them to connect with the cultural significance of the festival while developing a new skill. The homemade mooncakes were a sweet symbol of unity and the joy of the season.

学习与分享:月饼制作

为了庆祝中秋节,一些班级举办了月饼制作活动。学生们参与了制作这些节日美食的传统艺术,从准备到烘焙学习整个过程。这次活动是一次愉快的感官体验,让他们在与节日的文化意义联系的同时,发展了新技能。自制的月饼是团结和季节欢乐的甜蜜象征。

International-Mindedness: Celebrating Globally

As part of our commitment to fostering international-mindedness, we have invited students to share stories and traditions from their own cultures that celebrate the harvest or the moon. This exchange enriches our collective experience and promotes a global perspective among our learners.

国际视野:全球庆祝

作为我们致力于培养国际视野的一部分,我们邀请学生分享他们自己文化中庆祝丰收或月亮的故事和传统。这种交流丰富了我们的集体体验,促进了我们学习者的全球视角。

The Mid-Autumn Festival celebration at NCIS is more than just a cultural event; it is an educational experience that brings the IB concepts to life. Our students leave this celebration with a deeper understanding of their cultural heritage, a broader worldview, and a heart full of appreciation for the community they are part of.

结论:这是一个学习与团结的节日

NCIS的中秋节庆祝活动不仅仅是一个文化事件;它是一个将IB概念变为现实的教育体验。我们的学生离开这个庆祝活动时,对自身的文化遗产有了更深的理解,世界观更加宽广,心中充满了对他们所属社区的感激之情。

As we look to the full moon this Mid-Autumn Festival, let us remember the importance of unity, knowledge, and the joy of learning that transcends all boundaries.

在这个中秋节,当我们仰望满月时,让我们记住团结、知识和学习的乐趣的重要性,这些超越了所有界限。
