ISASC Costume Day 扮装日 | 既会学习，也“玩”得精彩的爱莎少年们

Last week, ISA Science City School kicked off its inaugural English Week with a series of activities designed to stimulate students' interest in learning English. On Monday, the last day of October, English Week was rounded off with a 'Costume Day' and also as a celebration of a very eventful October. 

上周，爱莎科学城学校开启了首届“英语周”，旨在通过一系列的活动激发学生学习英语的兴趣。本周一，恰逢10月最后一天，英语周以“扮装日”的形式画上了完美的句号，同时也庆祝我们度过了充实的十月。

During English Week, the school organised a series of "English mini-activities" to infuse the students' teaching and recess time, which included organising students to use their imagination to create a short story in English and to describe a character in detail. During the Costume Day, characters were carefully selected by observing and thinking in depth. Using the characters in the book or media as inspiration, students designed their own look and put them on for the parade. Superheroes were common in elementary school, whereas in middle school, there was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz and Big Brother from 1984, as well as "China's anti-epidemic retrograde" and so on.

在英语周中，学校组织了一系列的“英文小活动”渗入学生的教学与课间时光，其中包括组织学生发挥想象力，杜撰一篇英文短故事，并细致地描述故事中的一个角色；而在在扮装日中，我们看到古灵精怪的孩子们纷纷将“想象化为现实”——他们亲手用废弃材料制作环保服装，或打扮成书籍与影视中的角色走入校园，其中，有各型各色的超级英雄、从“绿野仙踪”中的桃乐丝、电影《1984》中的老大哥，以及由老师扮演的“中国抗疫的逆行者”等等，以一场活力四射的巡游活动开启了又一天精彩的校园生活。

Starts with English Week and ends with Costume Day - the school organises such activities that combine learning with school life, enhancing and enriching students' academic and imaginative skills, while also promoting social skills among students. Ms Debbie, the school's World Languages Coordinator, said: “Through such activities, we hope to expand students' cultural awareness, language exploration, and connection, and ultimately their creativity. We can also expect activities focused on language development in the future, such as World Languages Festival, Chinese Week, and Library Week”.

始于英语周，终于扮装日——学校组织诸如此类将学习与校园生活相结合的活动，增强并丰富学生学术能力与想象力的同时，也促进了学生之间的社交能力。学校世界语言协调员Debbie女士提到：“我们希望借由这类的活动，拓展学生文化宽度与深度、语言探索与联结以及最终创意的传播与表达。未来还可期待世界语言日、中文周、图书馆周等语言发展相关的聚焦活动”。
