为了更好地亲近经典，感受华夏文明，我校举办了第二届“屈原杯”诗歌朗诵比赛，此次比赛以“夏日”为主题，20组小学参赛选手准备充分，参赛题材不尽相同，带领大家一起感受了铿锵有力的爱国之声，年少青涩的爱情故事，领略了四字悠扬的诗经之美，见证了思路上的大漠敦煌，眼前浮现出一幅幅美妙的夏日胜景。
Fuzhou Lakeside International School held the second Qu Yuan Chinese Poetry Reading Contest this week! With "summer" as the theme, 20 groups of primary contestants came to the stage fully prepared. Everyone's performance was remarkable!



比赛以中学生Lulu朗诵《荷塘月色》节选片段和Vivi朗诵原创诗歌《夏遇》为开篇，为小学生们做出了精彩的示范，小选手们按抽签手续依次上台表演，我们随着这场比赛在汉字织成的锦绣里穿行，在声韵汇成的长河中徜徉，一首首脍炙人口的诗歌，一段段动人心弦的朗诵，我们感受着文化与传承在此熠熠生辉。
The contest started with perfect performances from two secondary students: excerpts from "Moonlight over the Lotus Pond" by Lulu, and "A Summer Encounter” by Vivi. These performances set a wonderful example for their primary juniors. Then our primary contestants came to the stage to give their performance. The beautiful Chinese poems were infectious! It was like the audience was able to wander in an ocean of artistic conception and flowery language, which also helped students to get a better understanding of Chinese culture.


经过最终的得分统计，比赛结果如下：

适逢端午，我们中小学还分别在本周三、周四课间举办了“欢乐龙舟跑”的比赛，我们的美术老师Jerry M和Dave老师与学生齐力雕刻、绘制出了两条栩栩如生的巨型龙舟，供孩子们比赛用，一条龙舟三位学生为一组，孩子们欢快的笑声飘荡在校园里，传统端午赛龙舟赛事中以“鸭子”代表当年的好运，我们此次比赛则以先跑到终点并取得“小黄鸭”的队伍为胜，无论胜败，孩子们都感染了现场热烈的欢欣，体会到同心竞技的喜悦，一起迎来端午这一佳节。
The Duanwu Festival, also often known, especially in the West, as the Dragon Boat Festival, is a traditional holiday originating in China, occurring near the summer solstice. The festival now occurs on the 5th day of the 5th month of the traditional Chinese calendar (June 7th this year). Since the festival is nearing, we also held a "Happy Dragon Boat Race" game! FLIS art teacher Mr. Jerry M and Mr. Dave made two "Dragon Boats", which were vividly crafted, for use in the game. Each group was comprised of three students. The winner was the team that crossed the finish line first. Students' happy laughter was heard all around the campus! Win or lose, everyone had a great time!
