The Power of Passion and Persistence
寒假中，电影《哪吒2》无疑是深受孩子们喜爱和热议的焦点。两位学生结合自己的学习经历，分享了从电影中汲取的精神力量。三年级的Winlyn从IB培养目标中的“关爱Caring”的角度，倡导大家像哪吒那样，有责任心，多行善事；五年级的Sofia则从中式美学、经典台词“我命由我不由天”出发，探讨了要做自己的主人、肩负使命的重要性。这部剧无论是剧本创作还是动画制作，都体现了团队协作的力量，传递了“一群人一条心，一起拼一定赢”的精神。
The movie "Nezha 2" was undoubtedly a hot topic among children during the winter vacation. Two students shared the spiritual strength they drew from the film based on their learning experiences. Winlyn, a third-grader, advocated for taking responsibility and doing good deeds like Nezha, from the perspective of "Caring" in IB Learner Profile. Sofia, a fifth-grader, discussed the importance of being one's own master and mastering responsibilities, starting from Chinese aesthetics and the classic line "My fate is in my own hands." The film, both in script and animation, embodied the power of teamwork and conveyed the spirit of "unity is strength."

The Chinese and foreign teachers surprised the students with a lively performance recreating the classic images of Nezha and Aobing. Through three interesting stories, they cleverly illustrated core competencies such as self-drive, self-management, communication, and reflection. Nezha used three treasures to solve problems related to being late, finding lost items, and interpersonal relationships, which were close to students' lives and set specific requirements for the new semester: enhancing learning motivation, overcoming the habit of being forgetful, and fostering friendly relationships among classmates. This performance not only deepened students' understanding of IB principles but also inspired them to practice the IB spirit in the new semester and prepare well for the visit.
