9月1日是一个万众期待的日子——开！学！日！
同学们期待着和小伙伴重逢，爸妈们盼望着神兽归笼。说实话老师们还真有点想念自己的这群“小可爱”们。
Today is a special day-First Day of School!
The students are expecting meeting the classmates again The parents are expecting the kids going back to the campus. In fact, the teachers miss the cute kids.
世外小学有个传统，那就是新学年第一周“大手牵小手”。由五年级同学在校门口迎接新一年级的弟弟妹妹，并一对一护送他们进自己的班级。一方面是为了缓解一年级新生到新环境后产生的紧张情绪；另一方面是给他们指引去往教室的路。
There is a tradition in WFL. Week 1 of the new semester, 'Hand-in-hand'. Yr5 students welcome the new Yr1 students at the school gate and send them to the classroom one by one. On one hand, it will release the pressure. On the other hand, it will guide the way to the classroom. What a huge campus! I don't remember the way.
今天，五年级的哥哥姐姐们很早就到学校了，他们放下书包，整理好着装就赶紧到校门口等待新一届弟弟妹妹们的到来。
Today, Yr5 brothers and sisters arrived the school early. They put down the schoolbags, dressed up and hurried to the school gate, waiting for the new younger brothers and sisters to come.
“来了!来了!”大家相互提醒着，一边迎了上去。“妹妹，你的书包重吗？我来帮你背！”说完接过书包，一手扛到肩上，一手指引妹妹往教学大楼走去。防疫期间，虽然同学们不能“手牵手”，但有哥哥姐姐陪伴在身边，弟弟妹妹们安全感爆棚啦！
'Here they are ! 'people reminded each other and came up to the students. 'Sister, is your schoolbag heavy? Let me help you!' the Yr5 student pur the schoolbag on the shoulder and guided the girl to the school building. During the COVID-19 period, the students are not hand-in-hand, but with the accompany of the big brothers and sisters, the Yr1 students feel safe.
桂林西街校区的同学们要穿过101长长的弄堂才能到达学校，学长们很有防疫意识，将学校防疫要求一一和弟弟妹妹们交代清楚。“弟弟，进校时记得戴好口罩”“注意——我们要和前面同学保持一定距离”“我们要走在虚线内”“进校门前要洗手、然后测温”
The students of West Campus must go through the long lane to reach the school. The students keep the tips in mind and remind the new students of wearing the masks. 'Brither, wear your mask while entering the school' 'Attention-we should keep the distance from the front student.' 'Wash your hands and check the temperature'
天气炎热，同学们几个来回又戴着口罩早已都汗流浃背，但大家的脚步却始终没有停歇。It is a hot day. The students fetch several times wearing the masks and sweat a lot. But everyone keeps up the good work, never stop to rest.
看着校园里一对对最萌身高差，简直太有爱啦。
Look at the difference between the highest of the pairs. It's full of love.
学长们护送着弟弟妹妹，仿佛看见了五年前的自己。这个暖心的传统沿袭了一届又一届，长大后我就成了你，成为最美好的世外人！大手牵小手，将爱传递，一起共成长！
The Yr5 students are walking with the younger brothers and sisters . It seems that they saw themselves who were on the first day 5 years ago. The warm-hearted tradition lasts year and year.When I grow up, I become you , a nice WFLer. Hand-in-hand, pass the live, grow together!
