新起点，新征程丨请查收给IB学习者的一封信！

Pleasant summer over

And all the summer flowers,

The red fire blazes,

The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons.

Are you ready for the new semester?

云天收夏色，木叶动秋声。

面对新学年，

关于学习、关于生活、关于未来、关于理想，

你是否已做好了准备？

In the new semester,

Every month has its own theme,

Relevant themed activities will be held to enrich students' study and life.

在接下来的一学期，

每一个月都有当月主题，

将有相关主题活动为同学们的学习生活增添色彩。

September: Gratitude Education

九月：感恩教育

In September, we will launch a series of gratitude education activities based on Teacher's Day. Caring is one of the IB learner profile, we show empathy, passion, and respect. We have a commitment to service, and we act to make a positive difference in the lives of others and in the world around us. We believe that learning to be grateful can not only cultivate one’s virtues of being kind and helpful, but also promote the formation of his or her positive personality, which will play an important role in establishing harmonious interpersonal relantionships in the future.

九月，我们将以教师节为立足点，展开系列感恩教育活动。懂得关爱（Caring）是IB十大培养目标之一，IB学习者懂得理解、同情并尊重他人，努力对他人及周边的世界产生积极的影响。我们相信，人若常怀感恩之心，不仅能培养其与人为善、乐于助人的美德，且能够促进其健康人格的形成，对其成人后走向社会，建立和谐的人际关系具有重要作用。

October: Sports meeting and Patriotism Education

十月：体育节与爱国主义教育

In IB system, we focus on the all-round development of students, of which sports is an important topic. Only with a healthy body can students grow up happily. In addition, doing sports is an educational process that cultivates morality and volition.

在IB体系中，我们注重学生的全面发展（Well-balanced），其中体育是一个重要课题，唯有有健康的身体，强壮的体魄，同学们方能快乐成长。除此以外，体育更是培养道德和意志品质的教育过程。

The IB system emphasizes the identity of IB learners, and it is also the only international course that offers mother tongue as a compulsory subject. A person without identity feels lost; People of a nation without identity lack national cohesion. Therefore, we hope that through a series of activities this month, students will increase their patriotic awareness.

IB体系强调IB学习者的身份认同感，也是唯一一个开设母语作为必修学科组的国际课程。如果一个人没有身份认同，他将感觉迷失，手足无措；如果国家的国民没有身份认同，一个国家将缺乏凝聚力。所以，我们希望通过这个月的一系列活动，让同学们增强爱国意识。

November: Social Practice and Life Education

十一月：社会实践与生命教育

IB learners don’t just learn from books. In this month’s social practice, students can combine theory with reality and use knowledge of different subjects to solve practical problems. At the same time, the students shifted the focus of learning from books to life, learning to feel life and love life.

IB学习者从不只从书本中学习，在这个月的社会实践中，同学们可以将理论和现实相结合，运用不同学科知识解决现实问题。与此同时，同学们将学习的焦点从在书本转移到生活中，学会体会生活，热爱生活，感受生命。

December: Cultivation of International Vision  and Foreign Language & Culture Festival

十二月：国际视野教育与外语文化艺术节

As international course learners, IB learners should have an open-minded perspective. While recognizing and appreciating our culture and our past, we should also maintain an open mind and appreciate the values and traditions of others. In this month, students can look around the world and feel the charm of multiculturalism through a variety of activities.

IB学习者们作为国际课程学习者，应具有开阔的视野（Open-minded），在认同和欣赏我们的文化及我们的过去的同时，也保持开放的思维，欣赏他人的价值观及传统。在这个月里，同学们将通过丰富多彩的活动，放眼世界，感受多元文化的魅力。

January: Reflection and Summary

一月：反思与总结

勤于反思（Reflective）是IB学习者的重要品质，它像是在终身学习的过程中对于前进的方向的思考和再认识，让我们从过去汲取经验，获得成长。在这一个月里，同学们将过去的一学期进行回顾和总结，争取在未来成为更好的IB学习者!

All Chinese Teachers

全体中文老师

From 0 to 1,

They root and sprout.

The process of breaking new ground

Is like playing rock music in a rainstorm, 

And like Armstrong landing on the moon alone in the unknown.

The 2021 school year is approaching,

It may still be a tough road to explore,

But,

They choose to go through the fire and bask in the breeze.

这支队伍 从无到有 从零到1

向下生根 向上攀登

开疆拓土的过程

像在暴雨中奏响摇滚乐

也像阿姆斯特朗在未知中孤独登月

2021学年已经在招手

也许探索之路仍然艰难

但是

他们选择从烈火里来 到春风里去
