聖帕特裡克節 St Patrick's Day
每年3月17日
要穿綠色衣服?
佩戴綠色或者三葉草形狀裝飾品?
這個很“綠”的日子
是愛爾蘭的國慶節
為紀念愛爾蘭的守護神聖帕特裡克而設立
It happens every year at March 17th.
It is the national holiday of Ireland,
and it honors St Patrick,
the patron saint of Ireland.
聖帕特裡克節有兩個最典型的象征物
一個是三片葉子連為一體的三葉草
象征宗教上的三位一體
另一個是愛爾蘭傳說故事中的小精靈
——綠衣老矮人
聖帕特裡克節的傳統顔色為綠色
這一天隻有身上帶點綠
才能避免被小精靈惡作劇
St Patrick’s Day has
two traditional symbols.
First is a three leaf clover.
The symbol of the Holy Trinity:
The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Second is the magical creature
known as the Leprechaun.
The traditional color of St. Patrick’s Day.
You need to wear some green to
keep safe from magical creatures
looking to trick you and take your money.
每年聖帕特裡克節
不止是愛爾蘭,在美國、日本等國家
慶祝節日的男女老少
也都全身上下用綠色裝扮
甚至把河水都染成綠色...
還要舉行遊行、教堂禮拜和聚餐等活動
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated every year
all over the world, not just Ireland.
Some cities in America even
dye their rivers green.
PICLC的聖帕特裡克節 St Patrick's Day at PICLC
不同的國家有不同的文化
PICLC未來的世界小公民
對這些充滿了好奇
他們喜歡在不同的文化中去尋找樂趣
在尋找、探索中更加認識自己
在認識自己的過程中
懂得如何與截然不同的人與文化交流
Our future citizens of the world
are full of curiosity and want to
learn about the different countries
and cultures of the world.
We combined St. Patrick’s Day
and Dr Seuss Reading Month
so the children can discover new happiness.
PICLC的聖帕特裡克節
與蘇斯博士閱讀月相遇
孩子們又會在感受“守護、愛、幸福”中
發現怎樣的樂趣呢?
On March 17th the world is green.
We see roses the color red,
clouds the color white.
The children can see
that nature if full of colors and diversity.
3月17日,是綠色的
On March 17th the world is green
花兒是紅色的?天空是藍色的?
雲朵是白色的?
不,在孩子們的眼睛裡
大自然是絢麗多彩的
世界是多姿多樣的
而3月17日這天,幼兒園是綠色的
We see roses the color red,
clouds the color white.
The children can see
that nature if full of
colors and diversity.
為了讓孩子們體驗這一抹綠色文化
老師們通過多次研讨
方案制定、調整、再制定
籌備物資、布置環境、打造遊戲
用獨特的視角傳遞着節日的每一個元素
用跳躍的思維創造着每一秒的精彩
On March 17th the kindergarten
is green as well so the children
can experience this new culture.
Teachers taught several culture classes,
made crafts, decorated the school,
and created new games for the children
to experience this holiday.
3月17日,是快樂的
March 17th was a happy day
一大早,孩子們就像飛舞的小精靈
穿着綠色的衣服飛奔而來
他們在老師們的帶領下
在愛爾蘭風音樂中共舞
在幼兒園各個角落尋找着金币
Early in the morning the children
are dressed in green.
The got to look for gold coins
left by leprechauns in their classroom.
他們唱着、笑着,跳着、歡呼着
每一刻每一瞬
都讓人忍不住嘴角上翹
They sang and laughed, danced and cheered
Every moment, every moment
People can't help but
curl up the corners of their mouths.
3月17日,是友愛的
March 17th was a warm, welcoming day
在這一天,怎麼少得了
節日繪本《LEPRECHAUNTRAP》共讀會
孩子們身着綠裝
滿心歡喜地翻開書本
用稚嫩的聲音稚嫩,用流暢的英文
分享着書中的七彩世界
在這輕松的共讀的時光裡
我們感受到了孩子們的快樂與友愛
也看到了孩子們的進步與成長
We had a big celebration with dancing,
singing, and stories.
The children were all smiles.
During this celebration we
read the story “The Leprechaun Trap”.
The students showed
everyone their English skills.
不同類型的閱讀活動
讓孩子們接觸到更多優秀兒童作品
帶領他們去發現書本中的大千世界
閱讀的興趣,便是由此而起
也是孩子終身學習的基石
This month we have had
many different reading activities.
We want the children to discover
their own love of reading by letting them
discover new worlds and interests.
Reading is the cornerstone to learning.
結語 Epilogue
豐富有趣的聖帕特裡克節
讓孩子們更了解這一抹綠
原來,聖帕特裡克對于愛爾蘭是這麼的重要
原來,愛爾蘭人民是這樣懷念民族英雄的
老師們精心策劃的活動
是PICLC在雙A教育中ACADEMIC的具體實踐
孩子們在玩樂中
創意與表達得到了極大的鍛煉
對不同國家不同文化有了更強的認知
對世界,充滿了更多的探索與好奇心
St. Patrick’s Day is fun and green.
It is also very important to Ireland, as well as,
a way to remember their national hero.
The children had fun with the activities
planned by the teachers.
They also are learning about
new countries and cultures.
The world is full of new places
and things to explore.
