June 1st is World Children’s Day, and on May 31st our school held an array of activities and organised various performances to celebrate it. We also held all this to educate our children about gratitude, and about the importance of having a grateful heart for all people and also for the environment.

6月1日是國際兒童節。我校於5月31日舉辦了一系列的活動並組織了各式各樣的表演慶祝兒童節，同時教育我們的孩子們要懂得感恩，對人和所處的環境要有一顆感恩的心。

Our celebratory events were designed and launched under the theme of Be Grateful as We Grow. The day began with our two school principals delivering speeches to the children. Both wished our children joy and happiness, and both expressed their expectations that each and every child work hard for a better future and a better world. 

慶祝活動以「感恩、成長」為主題。首先，兩位校長的致辭拉開了慶祝活動的序幕。校長們祝願我們的孩子快樂幸福，也希望每個孩子能做到最好，為更美好的未來和世界而努力奮鬥。

The first event was the children’s interpretive reading of Chinese and English poems and prose pieces. This event also included expressions of gratitude to their parents, friends and teachers, and also for our Motherland. Our children’s wonderful performances were broadcasted live to all the classes and enjoyed greatly by students and teachers alike.

第一個節目是孩子們的中、英文詩歌和散文朗誦。他們表達了對父母、朋友、老師和祖國的感激之情。全校師生通過觀看現場直播節目的方式欣賞了孩子們在學校電視台的精彩表演。

In addition, our students attended a celebratory lunch activity in the school canteen, where lovely delicacies and games were prepared by our school’s catering staff.

此外，學生們還在食堂參加了由餐飲人員精心準備的游戲活動，並品嘗了美味的午餐。

After lunch, students were engaged in sharing meaningful gifts that they had received, and they also told stories about those gifts. Several students were then selected and invited to share their stories with our Deputy Principal and Assistant Principals, teachers and their fellow schoolmates through Campus TV.

午餐後，同學們在班級分享了各自收到的最有意義的禮物，並講述了禮物背後的故事。同時，我們挑選了幾位學生，並邀請他們在校園電視節目中與張副校長和兩位助理校長以及全校師生分享他們收到最有意義的禮物和其背後的故事。

Students watched documentaries to deepen their understanding of children’s lives in other parts of the world. The students were led by Class Teachers to share their feelings and to reflect upon what they should do to cherish everything that they have. They were also encouraged to express their gratitude towards the people who help and support them, which they did most enthusiastically.

學生通過觀看紀錄片加深了對世界其他地區兒童生活現狀的瞭解。同時，在班主任的帶領下，同學們分享了自己的感受，思考如何珍惜自己所擁有的一切，並對幫助自己、支持自己的人心存感激。

Children’s Day celebration has left unforgettable life experiences to our children. It is definitely a day of joy, and a day for students to learn and appreciate lives.

兒童節的慶祝活動為學生留下了難忘的生活體驗，也為學生帶來喜悅，讓他們學習和感恩生命的一天。
