An Adventure to the Northern Hills 北山探险之旅

At the end of May, Year 5 clambered onto the school coaches for a three-day adventure to the Northern Hills.

在5月底，我校5年级的学生登上了校车，开启了一次北山探险之旅。

The first stop of the trip was Tianxianyu Village. Our students were given maps and challenged to explore the village in small groups, finding the local fish farms and beehives and talking to residents to find out more. 

这次旅行的第一站是天秀峪村。我们的学生们拿着地图，以小组形式探索村庄，寻找养鱼场和蜂箱，并与当地居民交谈以获取更多的信息。

Day Two of activities began with a two-and-a-half hour long hike through the beautiful Yunmengshan Park. 

第二天的活动是在美丽的云蒙山公园，进行了两个半小时的徒步旅行。

“This was a long walk, and our students all felt extremely proud of themselves for completing it”, explained Ms Tinubu. “Some students found the walk more tiring than others, but they really encouraged each other. It was lovely to see them be so supportive.”

“完成这次漫长的徒步之旅，学生们都感到很自豪，”Tinubu女士解释道。“有些学生步行起来比其他人感觉更累，但他们互相鼓励，很高兴看到他们能如此相互支持。”

But the last day at the watersports centre "was the best of all!” agreed Morgan, Dylan and Sofia in Year 5.  One challenge was to assemble rafts using empty plastic cylinders and ropes and race against each other in teams.

但是最后一天在水上运动中心“是最棒的！”5年级学生Morgan、Dylan和Sofia异口同声的说。其中一个挑战项目是使用空塑料瓶和绳索组装木筏，并以团队的形式进行竞赛。

“The watersports were a real exercise in teamwork”, said Ms Tinubu. “Students had to put their heads together to assemble their rafts, and use communication skills to race. On top of this, it was just a huge amount of fun.”

Tinubu女士说：“水上运动真正的锻炼了学生间的团队合作。“学生们必须十分团结组装他们的木筏，并且在竞赛环节不停的沟通。更重要的是，这次活动真的很有趣。”
