學部動態

新學年開學已經三周了，近兩周，國際部籌劃慶祝了貴陽為明國際學校三校區國際班首個國際巧克力節。在外教們的帶領下，三校區的學生參加了各式各樣的活動，共同慶祝了這一節日。

It has been three weeks since the new school year started, and in the past two weeks, the International Studies Department held lots of activities to celebrate the first International Chocolate Day in Guiyang Weiming International School.

國際巧克力節，為每年9月13日。慶祝這一節日的目的是為了使國際班的學生進一步了解西方文化和節日，同時提升英語應用能力。在節日之前，三校區的外教們都對學生進行了巧克力節日的歷史背景和基本知識介紹，對走廊環境進行了布置。學生在了解相關知識后，由外教指導，參與了巧克力烹飪活動，包括制作紙杯蛋糕，各種巧克力口味品嘗，或DIY巧克力等。

The actual holiday is on September 13th. The intention for the celebration is to make the students in international classes to be familiar with the western culture and festival, as well as to improve students’ ability to use English in their daily life. In all the three different campuses of our school, all the foreign teachers did a brief presentation to students to brief students with the historical background and basic understanding of the festival. Bearing the information in mind, students, with the help from the foreign teachers from all the three campuses did chocolate cooking workshop including cupcake, DIY chocolate and chocolate tasting.

除以上活動，春天校區一到三年級國際班的學生欣賞了一部和巧克力相關的電影，舉辦了小小廚師帽制作評比和第一次巧克力作品展。溫泉校區四、五年級國際班學生品嘗了外教制作的蛋糕，還和外教們一起制作了經典巧克力棉花糖。公園校區，七、八年級國際班學生和國際高中學生參與了巧克力知識問答，共同制作設計了走廊節日裝飾。活動旨在通過學生動手參與，小組活動，增強學生的自信和滿足感，讓學生了解此次活動不僅僅關乎巧克力烹飪和品嘗。

In Spring Campus, the students, from Grade 1 to 3 International Classes, also enjoyed a chocolate-related movie and held an exhibition about chocolate. In Hot Spring Campus, the students from Grade 4 to 5 made traditional chocolate marshmallow together with foreign teachers. In Poly Park Campus, a quiz about the history of chocolate is designed to boost the students interests to know more about chocolate, students who answered correctly are rewarded with a chocolate, henceforth they feel pride and fulfillment, and realize that the gist of the festival is not the mere chocolate cooking.
