As students returned to school after an extended summer break, they were greeted by vibrant displays of artwork that immediately set a positive and inclusive tone for the new academic year. These drawings and paintings depicting various scenarios of friendship were designed to foster a sense of community, encourage empathy and kindness, and help children develop valuable social skills. 

孩子们在漫长的暑假后重返校园，迎接他们的是充满活力的艺术作品，这些作品为新学年营造出积极、包容的基调。这些描绘了各种友谊场景的绘画旨在培养孩子们的集体意识，鼓励他们学会同理心与友善，并帮助他们培养宝贵的社交技能。

To further engage our students with their new surroundings, the BEST Friendly Campus, our teachers have planned a series of friendship-themed activities for our kindergarteners. Let’s delve into some of the activity highlights.

为了让孩子们更好地融入新环境-贝斯特友爱校园，老师们为幼儿园的学生策划了一系列以友谊为主题的活动。让我们一起来看看吧。

Learning Beyond Words 

超越语言的学习

In our English classes, students were taught various vocabulary, sentences, and expressions related to friendship. Teachers meticulously planned lessons and activities that encouraged peer interactions while learning English. This approach not only enhanced the students' language skills but also fostered a sense of camaraderie among them.

英文课堂上，学生们学习了与友谊相关的词汇、句子和表达方式。老师们精心策划了相关的课程和活动，鼓励学生们在学习英语的同时与同伴互动。这种方法不仅提高了学生们的语言能力，还培养了他们的团队精神。

Creating Connections

创造联系

To deviate from our traditional in-class teaching, students took walking tours of the campus to observe, learn, and appreciate the beauty and creativity painted on the walls, flower boxes, headboards, and pathways. Almost instantaneously, students imitated what they saw from the murals. They happily interacted with their peers and connected with their teachers and surroundings.

打破了传统的教学模式，学生们在校园里游览，观察、学习和欣赏墙壁、花坛和道路上各个角落的美丽和创意。学生们能立刻开始模仿画中要传达的情谊，快乐地与同伴互动，与老师和环境建立联系。

The Power of Play

游戏的力量

Everyone has enjoyed the simple game of hopscotch at some point. It’s a timeless game that children have played for centuries. Its simplicity and accessibility make it a popular pastime across generations and cultures. That is why our BEST Friendly Campus-themed activity will not be complete without this game. Each campus has a large painting of hopscotch boards, which allows our students and teachers to bond and share fun experiences while playing. They take turns, share space, and communicate effectively while playing together. By incorporating this interactive activity, students were encouraged to support and learn from one another, creating a cooperative learning environment that extended beyond the classroom lessons and into everyday friendships.

相信大家小时候都玩过跳房子的游戏。这是一个虽然简单，但永恒的游戏。它的简单和易上手让它成为了跨越世代和文化的流行娱乐方式。这就是为什么我们的“友爱校园”主题活动要采用“好友蹦蹦跳”为其中一个主要建立友情的互动方式。每个校园都有一幅大型的跳房子区域，这让学生和老师在玩游戏的同时建立友情，并分享友爱有趣的经历。游戏中，他们轮流进行，分享空间，相互协作。通过融入这个互动活动，学生们被鼓励、相互帮助和学习，创造了一个合作的学习环境，这种环境不仅限于课堂教学，还延伸到了日常的友谊之中。

In summary, BEST Friendly Campus was created in our hopes to provide an environment that will help students learn more about themselves, build stronger and deeper connections, and discover the true meaning of friendship. As educators, we believe that teaching students to value friendship is not only beneficial for their current well-being but also lays a foundation for their future success.

总之，贝斯特友爱校园的创建是为了给学生们创造一个环境，帮助她们更多地了解自己，建立更牢固、更深厚的联系，并发现友谊的真正含义。作为教育工作者，我们相信，引导学生珍视友谊不仅对他们的当前福祉有益，而且为他们未来的成功奠定了基础。
