小学部阅读周活动 Primary Reading Week

一本书摊开，就是一条通往别处的小路。囊萤夜读的孩子就着萤光，把一个故事读到天亮；苏格拉底在廊下追问，一问一生。从竹简到绘本，人类把智慧放进纸页，而孩子认识它的方式不只是看——要念出声，要披上斗篷，要成为那个人。十月阅读周里，“书中人物我来演”是孩子最盼的一天：中文书里的侠客，与英文绘本里的公主，在同一座校园问好。这一周，中外老师和高中部的哥哥姐姐们也走进课堂，陪孩子们一起读书——从一年级到十二年级同在一座校园，这正是协和十二年一贯制才有的风景。中西文化融合，有时就这么具体。

每班留几分钟，说说“为什么是他”。扮成哆啦A梦的孩子掏出一口袋道具，说这本书教他把难题变成游戏；几个小黄人挤成一团，抢着说书里最好笑的不是他们，是那个总在找香蕉的家伙；胡迪牵着线，巴斯光年比出“飞向宇宙”的姿势；阿宝挺着肚子，说这本书讲一个努力前行的人怎样相信自己。

Each class also spent a few minutes sharing why they chose their favourite book characters. One student dressed as Doraemon and showed the class some props from his pocket. He explained how Doraemon uses these special gadgets to solve problems. Another student dressed as a Minion and made everyone laugh by acting like the funny character who loves bananas. A student dressed as Woody from Toy Story held a piece of string and acted like a cowboy. Another student dressed as Po from Kung Fu Panda explained that his character was a clumsy panda who learned to believe in himself. It was a fun way for students to share their favourite characters, practise speaking, and build their confidence.

那天的校园像一本被翻开的书。小猪妖扛着比自己还高的铲子，走两步就要扶一下；牛魔王的角有点松，靠同学在后面悄悄托着；朱迪的耳朵一颤一颤，尼克的领带歪在一边；哪吒拖着红绫，风火轮坠在脚旁生风。教室后排，孩子把书摊在膝上翻给同伴看：“就是这里，他说的就是这句话。”

That day, the school was full of colourful book characters. A student dressed as the Red Boy from Journey to the West carried a small shovel and acted out his character’s movements. Another student dressed as the Bull Demon King, wearing horns that kept falling off. His classmate helped him put them back on. Judy dressed as Nick from Zootopia, wearing fox ears and a tie. Nezha wore a red ribbon and pretended to ride on his magical wheels. In one classroom, students sat together, reading and sharing their favourite books. One student opened a book, pointed to a sentence, and said to a friend, “Look! This is exactly what my character says! “The day was filled with laughter, creativity, and a love of reading.

活动会散场，阅读却是一天一天的事。学校更在意的，是书能不能翻成习惯：晨读二十分钟，课间半本书，睡前那一页。孩子在书里找到快乐，也找到自己——遇见朱迪学会勇敢，遇见小猪妖学会不服气，遇见阿宝学会坚持不懈就能被喜欢。书读得多了，眼界撑开，人也丰富，人格的完整往往就这样一本一本垫起来。在“和而不同”里各挑一本书，在“协力创新”里把世界演给彼此看。

As the day came to an end, students left with happy memories and a greater love for reading. Our school encourages students to make reading a daily habit, whether it is reading for ten minutes in the morning, enjoying a book between lessons, or reading a few pages before bedtime. Books help children discover new ideas, learn important lessons, and understand themselves and others. Through stories, they can find courage, kindness, and friendship. Reading also allows every child to explore their own interests and imagination. Each book opens a new world, and by sharing stories, we learn from one another. Reading Week reminded us that reading is not just about learning. It is also about having fun, being creative, and growing together.
