2021年12月，青浦协和双语学校小学部的学生在冬日的暖阳下，在古色古香的国湘书院里和Helen主任一起开启了一段  “倾听与表达”的美妙时光。

In December, SUIS Qingpu Primary School students had a wonderful time of listening and discussion with the Head of our Primary School division, Helen Liu, in the Guoxiang Ancient Scholar’s House.

G1 and G2感怀时光

一年级的孩子作为本期茶话会首批小客人，他们带着好奇和激动的心情走进古色古香的国湘书院，开启他们小学生活的第一次特别约会。

The first group of small guests for this tea party gathering, our first graders, entered the Ancient House with curiosity and excitement as they started their first special date in their primary school life.

短短三个月的小学时光，他们感受到了学校的各种美好，建立了和同学的情谊，相信不久的将来，他们会更加同心协力。

In just three months of primary school, they have experienced the beauty of the school and have established friendships with their classmates. We believe they will work together better and better over the months to come.

二年级的学生代表是班级同学通过“鼓励美，发现美”的形式推选出来的。这些小代表们从同学那里获得了赞扬和信任，他们带着一份自豪，走进书院。Helen主任一句关于“你对自己有什么期待？”，激起了孩子们热情真挚的表达。

The student representatives from Grade 2 were selected by their classmates with the theme of "encouraging and discovering beauty." These little delegates received praise and trust from their classmates, and they walked into the Scholar’s House with a sense of pride and responsibility. Mrs. Liu asked, "What do you expect of yourself?". This question inspired the children to be warm, sincere and reflective in expressing themselves.

一，二年级的孩子们畅所欲言，对友谊的呵护，对老师的关爱，对学习的热情，都犹如一颗种子，慢慢发芽生长。对于他们来说这里是成长的开始，也是激发孩子们学习创作灵感的地方。

The Grade 2 students spoke freely, of their care for friendships, care for their teachers and of their enthusiasm for learning – they are like a seed that sprouts and grows slowly. It was clear from this gathering that school is a place which both provides them with the beginnings of growth and stimulates their learning and creative inspiration.

G3午间集锦

三年级的学生代表直接表达了参加茶话会的感受：“高兴，激动，荣誉感。”他们提出了共性的问题：“如何规划好时间？” 通过交流孩子们更加懂得“做任何事情都需要不断努力，不断积累方法经验，学会做一个Good thinker。”

The third grade student representatives directly expressed their feelings regarding their participation in the tea party: ”Happiness, excitement and a sense of honour.”

G4 and G5 温情相聚

四，五年级的学生代表由各科老师根据学生的课堂和作业表现推选出了各学科优秀代表，参加了下午的主任茶会。Helen主任鼓励他们大胆为学校的建设意见，大家从自己的观察和体验出发，提出了很多自己的看法以及很多有意义的问题。

Student representatives from Grades 4 and 5 were selected by teachers of various disciplines and according to the students' class comments and homework performance. They put forward a lot of their own views and many meaningful questions.

Helen主任记录下孩子们的建议，并与学生代表们现场讨论可以改善的措施。比如建议可以向高年级同学招募图书馆志愿者，帮助图书馆老师们一起整理图书。这一建议马上得到了茶会同学们的热烈响应，大家都表示愿意帮助学校将图书馆变得更整洁。在畅所欲言的氛围下，同学们的主人翁精神得到了进一步发扬，也进一步拉近了学校管理层与同学们的距离。

Helen Liu recorded the children's suggestions and discussed with them measures that could help to improve things. For example, it was suggested that the school recruit library volunteers from senior students to help library teachers organize books together. This suggestion immediately received a warm response from the tea party students who expressed their willingness to help the school make the library cleaner. In the tea gathering’s atmosphere of freely sharing ideas and thoughts, the students' spirit of ‘ownership’ was further developed and the distance between the school management and the students further narrowed.

Helen主任也结合自己的经历，对所有的学生代表提出了两个期望：一个是“自信自律”，另一个是“心怀梦想，努力追逐”。在青浦协和，每一场师生活动是倾听与表达，点燃与激发，信任与鼓励 。我们用心浇灌孩子们的成长，丰满他们的羽翼，成为更好的自己，期待更多的孩子走进“我和主任有个约会”的下午茶时间。

Mrs. Liu also put forward two expectations for all student representatives based on her own experience. One was “self-confidence and self-discipline”, and the other was, “Pursue tangible progress with our dreams.” Within the Qingpu Campus, the purpose of every teacher-student activity is to listen and express, to ignite and inspire, to trust and encourage.
