Fond Memories from SHSID Primary p’s Art Festival
As the Christmas season is upon us, once again it is time for our annual art festival.
Both students and teachers spent several months preparing for the festival. We are very proud of the time and effort that our students have put into the upcoming show and we were all very excited for December 19th to come around.
In the morning of the art festival, all our primary students came into their classrooms with joy and excitement in their hearts. Many of their parent volunteers also helped a lot for the performances. The eight student hosts were fantastic throughout the event. They showed great confidence and elegance on the stage. Every class and student group gave an exceptional performance, especially the hip-hop boys dancing group and the schoolgirls dancing group. These little dancers danced to a very high standard, they could all be professional dancers!
The show just kept getting better and better and culminated with an appearance from Santa! Santa Clause brought some lucky students gifts. Every student was so excited to see the Santa! Some of our foreign teachers also gave a performance for our students to enjoy.
The annual Art Festival for Primary p SHSID is always one of all the students’ favorite activities every year. It will definitely become a cherished memory for every student here at SHSID.
每个孩子都满心期待的圣诞马上就要来临了。随着一年一度的圣诞翩然而至的，是上海中学国际部小学段的艺术节。这场艺术盛宴，也同样成为了每一位上中国际部小学段孩子在这个严冬最大的期盼和渴望。每个孩子都花了数月时间排练节目，准备道具、服装，热切地期盼着这场艺术的盛会。
终于，期盼的一天到来了。12月19日一大早，孩子们就如同欢乐的小鸟匆匆飞进教室，志愿者妈妈们早就严阵以待，帮助孩子们化妆、换装，老师们悉心叮嘱，孩子们迫不及待。
艺术节8:45准时拉开大幕。这次的八位小主持人也相当出彩。八个孩子声音响亮、落落大方，台风稳重中不失活泼。虽然节目尚未开眼，几位小主持人的表现就已让台下所有观众眼前一亮、啧啧称赞。
这次艺术节演出亮点频频，掌声处处，让人简直目不暇给。一二年级舞团姑娘们化身一只只可爱的芭蕾天鹅，在舞台上轻盈起舞；在历年的艺术节表演上让人记忆犹新的男子街舞团的小帅哥们这次依然不负众望，为我们带来了劲歌热舞；最后的压轴好戏依然是圣诞老人的抽奖活动和外教老师们的倾情献演。当圣诞老师背着装满礼物的大袋子走进礼堂，整场演出的气氛被推向了高潮，孩子们笑着、叫着，争相和圣诞老人握手、拥抱。而当孩子们看到平常所敬爱的老师在台上摇身一变、活力四射，更是十分惊喜，欢呼不断。在这次的演出中，特别值得指出的，是精美的电脑舞台背景制作。小学段的老师们为每一个节目精心设计制作了情景交融、画面精致的背景画面，让观众在欣赏台上精彩表演的同时，也从大屏幕上获得了很多美的享受。
一年一度的艺术节在欢笑、掌声和无穷的回味之中落下了帷幕。相信这一年一次精彩与美好将会成为每个孩子的成长历程中最闪亮而难忘的片段。
