WFLPS International Section's National Day & Mid-Autumn Festival Event
世外小学国际部于2025年9月30日举行了“科技强国 腾飞礼赞76华诞”国庆中秋庆祝活动。全体师生身着融入“中国红”元素的服饰，整个校园浸润在喜庆祥和、朝气蓬勃的节日氛围中。On September 30, 2025, the International Section of WFLPS held a National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebration titled "Strong Nation Through Technology: Celebrating 76 Years." Teachers and students wore attire featuring "China red," filled the campus with a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
一、童心同行：科技与人文的交响 Young Minds in Harmony:A Symphony of Technology and Humanity
正午时分，部门全体师生齐聚体育馆，一场融合科技视野与人文情怀的主题集会拉开帷幕。四位小主持以流利的中英双语，带领全场回顾新中国76年来波澜壮阔的发展历程，共同礼赞推动国家腾飞的核心引擎——科技创新。At noon, the school community gathered in the gym for an assembly blending technological vision and humanistic spirit. Four student hosts, fluent in both Chinese and English, guided everyone through a review of New China's remarkable 76-year development, celebrating technological innovation as the core driver of national progress.
• 宏观视野：七十六载科技征程
集会伊始，一段浓缩了新中国成立以来重大科技成就的视频深深吸引了每一位师生。从“两弹一星”到载人航天，从北斗组网到“奋斗者”深潜，每一个里程碑都映照着祖国从站起来、富起来到强起来的伟大飞跃。视频中一幕幕激动人心的画面，不仅展现了科技的辉煌，更在孩子们心中播下了爱国与探索的种子。
Macro Perspective: 76 Years of Technological Endeavor
The assembly began with a compelling video highlighting major Chinese scientific achievements since 1949. From "Two Bombs, One Satellite" to manned spaceflight, from the BeiDou Navigation System to the "Fendouzhe" submersible's deep-sea dives, each milestone reflected the nation's great leap forward. These inspiring scenes not only showcased technological glory but also planted seeds of patriotism and exploration in the children's hearts.
• 深度探究：潜入万米深蓝
“上天入海”是中华民族不懈的追求。集会特邀果壳科普网创始人带来题为《我们的征途是星辰大海》的生动演讲。他将深奥的深潜科技化为引人入胜的探险故事，讲述“蛟龙号”如何在极端环境下勇闯深海禁区，诠释了科技工作者不畏艰险的探索精神。孩子们听得目不转睛，眼中闪烁着求知的光芒。这场演讲生动诠释了IB学习者“勇于探究”与“敢于冒险”精神。
In-Depth Exploration: Venturing into the Deep Blue
The pursuit of "reaching for the stars and exploring the oceans" is a relentless Chinese endeavor. The assembly featured a lively speech by the founder of Guokr.com, Xiahua Ji, titled "Our Journey is to the Stars and Seas." He transformed complex deep-sea technology into captivating stories of adventure, describing how the "Jiaolong" submersible braved extreme environments to explore the deep sea, illustrating the explorers' fearless spirit. The children listened with rapt attention, their eyes sparkling with curiosity, vividly embodying the IB learner profile attributes of being "inquirers" and "risk-takers."
演讲结束后，学生代表向嘉宾献上鲜花与一份特殊的校礼——可爱的国宝大熊猫公仔，表达全体师生的敬意与感谢。
Following the speech, student representatives presented the guest with flowers and a special gift—an adorable giant panda plush toy—expressing the gratitude of all teachers and students.
• 艺术表达：东西方文化的对话
才艺表演环节将集会推向高潮。四年级Leo同学以海顿的《小奏鸣曲》展现高超琴技，古典音乐的严谨与优美在他指尖流淌；而Chelsea同学则以琵琶独奏《金蛇狂舞》，奏出中华传统文化的奔放与激昂。东西方乐曲在舞台上交相辉映，不仅展示了学生们的艺术素养，更体现了国际部学子“胸襟开阔”、兼具文化自信与国际视野的成长姿态。
Artistic Expression: A Dialogue Between Eastern and Western Cultures
The talent show segment was a highlight. Fourth-grader Leo performed Haydn's "Sonatina" with skilled piano technique, showcasing the precision and beauty of classical music. Chelsea performed the pipa solo "Golden Snake Dancing," expressing the passion and vitality of traditional Chinese culture. The interplay of Eastern and Western melodies demonstrated the students' artistic accomplishment and their growth as "open-minded" learners with both cultural confidence and international vision.
二、班会欢庆：协作与创造的体验Classroom Celebrations: Experiences of Collaboration and Creativity
集会后，各班教室成为欢乐的海洋。同学们在老师引导下，投入到国庆中秋主题手工制作中，一盏盏灯笼、一幅幅贴画，承载着孩子们对祖国的祝福。班级才艺展示与创意合影环节更是笑声不断，同学们在协作中学会创造，在分享中感受温暖。
After the assembly, classrooms buzzed with joy. Students engaged in themed arts and crafts, creating lanterns and collages expressing their blessings for the nation. Class talent shows and creative photo sessions were filled with laughter, as students learned creativity through collaboration and felt warmth through sharing.
三、温情回溯：家校携手精心筹备Warm Reflections: Home-School Partnership in Meticulous Preparation
此次活动的圆满成功，离不开国际部家校社群的默默付出与通力协作。早在9月28日，各班家委会便与班主任老师携手，精心布置教室与走廊。一面面红旗、一盏盏彩灯，处处细节都凝聚着家校共同育人的温度与心意。The event's success relied on the dedicated collaboration of the parent community. As early as September 28, parent representatives worked with teachers to decorate classrooms and corridors carefully. Every red flag and colorful lantern reflected the shared commitment to educating children together.
这场国庆中秋庆典，既是一堂生动的爱国主义教育课，也是一次IB理念的日常实践。活动以“科技强国”为主线，深度融合IB学习者培养目标，引导世外学子在回顾辉煌历程中树立民族自信，胸怀祖国，放眼世界，以探究与创新的姿态挑战未来。This National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival celebration was both a vivid lesson in patriotism and a practical application of the IB philosophy. Centered on the theme of building a strong nation through technology and deeply integrated with the IB learner profile, the activity guided WFLPS students to build national confidence. They reviewed glorious achievements, were reminded to cherish their homeland while viewing the world, and to face the future with an inquiring and innovative spirit.
