2021新府学Winter Show盛大举办

2021年12月23日星期四下午，新府学Winter Show 2021在喜剧院盛大举办。

快乐是项超能力

舞台上一群“小老鼠”正跟随音乐摆动着小脑袋

那沉浸其中享受的模样让人感动不已

草房子被大灰狼轻轻一吹便吹倒了

小猪吓得大喊救命

舞台下的孩子笑得前俯后仰

One of the most anticipated events in XFA is the annual XFA Winter Show. Every year this time, one cannot help but feel the sense of excitement as students and teachers go into overdrive to practice and prepare, wishing to put up yet another unforgettable performance to wow the audience. This year, the Winter Show theme ‘The Starlight from 99 Jingshun Road’ pays tribute to every student and educator at 99 Jinshun Road, a place where we build the XFA Family.

“Snowy，你说，我们为什么要举办Winter Show呢？”

“This is my fourth year in XFA. I always become very excited and happy in the weeks leading up to the Winter Show! The Winter Show is an opportunity for us to showcase our talents. I enjoy singing. During the Winter Show, I will be singing a medley of four Christmas carols together with my friends. I am so blessed.”

“我来新府学四年了，每年上冬季秀，我都特别兴奋！特别开心！冬季秀给我们展示自我的机会，让观众看到我们的天赋。我热爱唱歌，今年冬季秀我会演唱关于冬季的歌，还有圣诞的四首歌。我太幸福了。”

春季里，春风吹，

花开草长蝴蝶飞。

麦苗儿多嫩，桑叶儿正肥。

夏季里，农事忙，

采桑养蚕又插秧。

早起勤耕作，归来戴月光。

秋季里，稻上场，

谷像黄金粒粒香。

身体虽辛苦，心里喜洋洋。

冬季里，雪初晴，

新制棉衣暖又轻。

一年农事了，大家笑盈盈。

“Wenni老师，在您看来，新府学为什么要举办Winter Show呢？”

“The Winter Show is like a party students enjoy before the holidays. It is also a platform to showcase their individual talents. I am reminded of one of the passages we learnt recently in the Chinese lesson which describes how the farmers will complete all their work in autumn so that they can put on warm and comfortable clothes during winter and patiently await the coming of a new year.”

“冬季秀是放假前孩子们的一次狂欢，是一个成果展示的舞台。就像我们这学期正好学到的这篇课文，秋天农活忙完了，冬天没有烦心事了，大家穿着新棉袄，期待着新年的到来。”

我进步了，你看到了吗

“喏，那个孩子之前总是不想进教室。”

可，此时此刻他正站在舞台最中央放声高歌

“噫，这姑娘好像还有点害羞呢！”

这下2021年的Winter Show可有盼头了

那时舞台上的你，我敢肯定，一定是昂首又挺胸

“When Cindy took part in her first Winter Show performance two years ago, she was crying on the stage. This year, seeing Cindy standing and performing gracefully on stage to such a large audience is indeed very comforting.” (Cindy’s mother, in her message to Teacher Aimee)

12月13日，Cindy妈妈给Aimee老师发来一张照片和几段文字。两年前第一次参加Winter Show的时候，Cindy一上台就哭，而两年后的今天，Cindy已经能够勇敢自信地站上北京电视台这样的大舞台，多么令人欣慰啊。

Teacher Aimee believes that the Winter Show is a platform to develop students’ self-confidence. She feels that confident students are “Those that will raise their hands up to seek help from teachers whenever they encounter difficulties instead of keeping their problems or questions to themselves. This is helpful as it enables teachers to identify their concerns and questions and provide these students with explantations and assistance. This attribute allows the students to improve faster to attain their goals.”

Aimee老师相信这一舞台将帮助孩子培植自信心，也明白自信心对每个孩子意味着什么。“课上，遇到问题的时候，不自信的孩子可能只敢把问题憋在心里，而自信的孩子会高高地举起小手：‘老师，这是为什么呢？’这样的话，老师就知道孩子的疑问，也能够及时地给予讲解。所以，自信的孩子往往进步更快。无论是知识，还是其它任何自己想要的东西，自信的孩子都会更积极主动去争取。”

不完美，多美好

扇子坏了

胡子甩出去了

小猪和小老鼠的头套掉了

伸错手了

差点摔跤

刚刚转身差点没反应过来

彩排时状况不少

但这又何妨

“扇子坏了，我回去好好粘一粘”

“胡子我再粘紧一些”

“今晚我再好好练习一下”

我们从不期待完美的表现

因为我们知道生活不只有顺心顺意

还有无数的不称心、不如意

在一次次的锻炼中，我们明白

我们能做的便是尽力而为

同时我们也随时备着应对意外的勇气

一家人，说的就是我们

拉拉他的衣角

我们要正对观众

她的话筒好像没声了

给，你拿我的

舞台上的孩子互帮互助、互相提醒着

不知不觉

我们的友谊好像更深了

“Ready?”

“Yes!”

带着老师的殷切期待

孩子们自信满满走上舞台

KG班的小可爱与Josh、Amy老师带来的舞蹈《小黄人》

G8-2班孩子与Lina, Panda, Michael B老师齐声献唱的《Lemon Tree》

G9班孩子与Lewis、William老师携手演绎的《荷塘月色》

钢琴中心师生们带来的精彩四手联弹接力演奏

“Give me five!”

演出结束后一一与老师击掌

不知不觉

我们的心好像更近了

当然

我们本来就是一家人

爸爸妈妈，我爱你们

“Coco，你说，我们为什么要举办Winter Show呢？”

“We want to perform in the Winter Show for our parents. When I see my parents applauding and cheering for me in the audience, I can sense their pride and joy. I am also very happy.”

“为了表演节目给家长看。看到他们在舞台下鼓掌，他们开心，我也很开心。”

“Claire，问你哦，我们为什么要举办Winter Show呢？”

“I want my parents to witness the growth in me and see how much I have learnt in my classes. Do you know, my dad and mum were here to watch me perform last year. They were very proud of me. I am so delighted to know that my parents are proud of me.”

“为了让家长们看到自己的孩子在自己喜欢的课程里学习到的成果。老师，您知道吗？去年我的爸爸妈妈都来参加冬季秀了，他们为我感到骄傲，能让爸爸妈妈感到骄傲，我特别开心。”

站在舞台上

孩子寻找的，永远是爸爸妈妈的身影

他们开心的话

代表我表现得不错

他们为我感到骄傲

如此，我便是世界上最幸福的人儿

Eric Fu G3-3

"This year, I was chosen to be part of the traditional Chinese dance performance. The dance I will take part in is a traditional Chinese dance using flags and our body movements.n Dancing is not new to me. I enjoy dancing in my spare time. I practice with a street dance club every weekend."

Maria Li G4-2

"This year, I will participate in two different events at the Winter Show. The first is a singing performance with my English class and the second is a dance performance with the Chinese dance teacher. The English song we will be performing is ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’. This year, I am thankful that I am able to take both singing and dance classes as after-school activities. I am very excited about the Winter Show as it is a the biggest performance event of the year."

Mr. Anthony

"This is a unique experience for my students. Through practicing and performing their song item, my students have also learnt to recognize and pronounce new words. It also provides an opportunity to showcase students' talents. I am honored be a part of this event."

新府学为什么要举办Winter Show？

因为孩子们需要这个舞台，他们想把最好的一面展现给舞台下的爸爸妈妈、老师和朋友，他们希望为自己珍爱的人带去快乐和幸福。

因为我们需要这个舞台，来成就这群孩子，帮助他们认识自我、发现自我、肯定自我，助力所有孩子拥有快乐这项无与伦比的超能力。

正如辛校长在《校长说--新府学为什么举办Winter Show》一文中写道：“我们希望通过更多元的评价、更重视孩子自身意愿的方式来帮助每一个学生在校园生活中找到真正的快乐，并在不扭曲自我的前提下高效、有意义地学习。而不是剥离了意义、乐趣、真诚之后，让学习变成了一种让孩子互相比拼、互相淘汰的荒诞闹剧。”

这便是Winter Show存在的意义。

新府学的所有家人们，

希望你们度过了愉快的一天。

祝你们节日快乐。

Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!

2022 XFA Winter Show,

我们再会。
