TWIS奇妙樂園

TWIS Wonderland

【資料圖】

在東華文澤學校（TWIS），萬圣節并非全然與恐怖驚悚的詭異氛圍劃等號。相反，它更像是一個奇妙世界——虛構人物從書中躍出，在校園空間里歡聚一堂。作為一年一度最讓人期待的活動之一，書中人物節日賦予平日專注于閱讀的兒童和成人一次與眾不同的機會，身著盛裝，化身為自身所熱愛與著迷的書中英雄，并有機會向這些英雄致敬。

Halloween at Tungwah Wenzel International School is not just about creating a spooky ambiance; rather, it"s more like a wonderland where fictional characters jump off the pages of the books to interact with each other. As an annually anticipated event, Book Character Day provides both children and adults the opportunity to pay tribute to the heroes and heroines of books read in class or during leisure time by dressing up as the characters they find fascinating, interesting and intriguing. Let the festivities begin!

書中人物自我介紹

Introduce Ourselves

“我是來自《Happily Ever After》的白雪公主。”

“我是來自《Splat the Cat》的Splat。”

“我是來自《還珠格格》的小燕子。”

"I am Snow White from the book Happily Ever After."

"I am Splat from the book Splat the Cat."

"I am Xiaoyanzi from My Fair Princess."

……

我們用一種充滿趣味性的方式來介紹每個人所扮演的書中人物，并以此拉開這一節日的序幕。從倍受喜愛的童話故事到最前沿的科幻文學，哪一位書中人物是你最喜歡的？

So who are your favorite literary characters? Students took turns introducing themselves to mom and dad in the audience. There are characters from all sorts of genres, from our favorite fairy tale classics to the most recent science fiction literature.

TWIS成功地將夢想變為現實。在介紹會上，我們見到了《哈利波特》霍格沃茨魔法學院的同伴，傾聽了來自獨角獸們分享的奇幻故事，也目睹了充滿活力的超級馬里奧體驗“全新”的游戲……

The TWIS community has successfully brought the dream to life! We are meeting fellows from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry of Harry Potter,listening to the magical tales shared by Unicorns, as well as witnessing vibrant and active Super Mario experiencing the "new" games...!

書中人物巡游

Book Character Parade

在完成自我介紹后，我們可以在哪里與整個社區的書中人物相遇呢？答案是……在巡游中！身著華麗服飾的眾多角色在教室外的庭園里相遇，他們不僅展示了當天的服裝，還驕傲地向整個社區展現他們所喜愛的書目！

After the self-introduction session, it"s time to gather outside the auditorium. Proudly displaying the books associated with their costume, students circled around twice before the next exciting event.

奇妙藝術之門

The Fantastic Artworks

巡游結束后，“書中人物”會前往何處？他們會回到由自己創作的“奇幻世界”。我們可以看到，在PYP小學部，每一間教室的大門都被貼上栩栩如生的畫作。事實上，這是學生在藝術課上與藝術教師共同完成的作品。

Where do "Book Characters" go after the parade? They return to the "fantasy world" created by themselves.As we can see, each classroom door at PYP is embellished with vivid artwork.In actuality, they were produced by PYP students in art classin collaboration with their teachers.

以二年級為例，學生曾一起閱讀過一本名為《理解與關愛（Understand and Care）》的書，他們在課上討論了如何培養自己的同理心，如何通過傾聽和尊重他人的感受來表達自己的關愛之心。受此啟蒙，以此書內容為主題，學生在兩周內完成了這些貼在教室大門上的作品。

In PYP 2, for instance,students read a book together called Understand and Care,in which they discussed how to develop their empathy by listening to and respecting the feelings of others.Inspired by this, the students decided to use the book as a theme to create a piece of artwork on their classroom door!

不給糖就搗蛋

Treat or Trick?

那么，“藝術之門”的背后是什么呢？是給我們學生準備了豐富糖果的家長。按照傳統，是時候進入“不給糖就搗蛋”的游戲環節了！

And who do we find behind those doors? Mom and dad are loaded with sweets. Time to trick or treat!

開卷有益。一直以來，TWIS致力于為讀者創造一個理想化的閱讀環境。在書中人物巡游活動之前，我們落實了PYP閱讀競賽項目，也舉辦了Obido書展——與合作方共同呈現了豐富多彩的文學世界。一本好書可以造就卓越的思想家和溝通者的誕生，懷著這樣的愿景，我們在此提供一份兒童英文繪本閱讀書單供您參考，希望閱讀能為學生帶來更多的啟蒙！

Reading enriches the mind. As always, TWIS is dedicated to creating a community of readers. Prior to the Book Character Parade, PYP launched its Race to Reading program, and Obido Book Fair displayed brought in a wonderful collection of originally printed books. As good books create good thinkers and communicators, we also present a reference booklist of English picture books for students to enjoy.
