Championing Sports Day! 加油！耀中运动日！

Last Thursday and Friday Years 1-5 at Yew Chung International School of Beijing took part in our first school Sports Day. The activities were held at the brand new Yizhuang campus of our sister school YWIES and we were pleased to join forces with the Yew Wah students too for a fantastic community event.

上周四和周五，北京耀中国际学校1-5年级参加了我校首个运动日。活动在姊妹学校耀华全新的亦庄校区举行，我们很高兴能够与耀华的学生合作举办如此精彩的社区活动。

Warm-up exercises were led by the Yew Wah students, and a welcome speech was given by Ms Amy Sims, Primary PE Teacher at YCIS Beijing and organiser of the event. Ms Amy was excited to rename the Sports Day Champion Day:

来自耀华的学生带领大家热身，北京耀中小学部体育教师Amy Sims女士和活动组织者发表了欢迎辞。Amy女士很高兴的将运动日重新命名为“冠军日”：

“This was no ordinary sports day. I wanted to get our students feeling really excited about the activities ahead, and perform like champions.” she explained.

“这不是一个普通的运动日。我想让我们的学生对即将开始的活动感到兴奋，并像冠军一样表现。”她解释说。

Among the activities were a javelin throw, egg and spoon race, potato sack race, 50m sprint and long jump. Students competed within classes, however they also had an opportunity to win house points to add to the competition! On both days, activities drew to a close with a ferociously competitive Tug of War – for students and teachers! 

这些活动包括标枪、鸡蛋勺子比赛、马铃薯袋赛、50米短跑和跳远。学生们在课堂上竞赛，他们也有机会赢得积分来参加比赛！在这两天，学生和老师的拔河比赛也在激烈中结束。

After the success of the 2018 Champion Day, we are looking forward to hosting the event again next year and continuing to form ties with the staff and students at YWIES Yizhuang!

继2018年冠军日的成功举办，我们期待明年再次举办本活动，并继续与耀华亦庄校区的教职员工和学生建立紧密的关系！
