Masters of Learning: K4's Graduation Ceremony 学习的主人：幼教部4岁班毕业典礼

At the end of term, YCIS Beijing held a graduation ceremony for K4, in recognition of their achievements and learning in ECE before they move into the Primary school. Families and teachers gathered in the auditorium for the presentation of certificates and a delightful display of music and performance.

在本学年末，北京耀中国际学校举行了幼教部4岁班毕业典礼，表彰了毕业生们在升入小学之前取得的成就和学习成果。家人和老师们欢聚一堂，在礼堂里为学生们颁发毕业证书，并观看精彩的音乐表演。

The ceremony opened with a powerful drumming piece. Students were able to show off their understanding of rhythm and percussion, and captured the attention of the audience as their drumming rumbled through the auditorium. The performance went on to take a bilingual turn, with songs performed confidently in both Chinese and English – testifying to the efficacy of the bilingual environment in ECE.

毕业典礼以一段强劲有力的鼓乐开场。学生们展示了他们对节奏和打击乐的理解，并以隆隆的敲鼓声吸引到观众的注意力。随后的演出以双语呈现，学生们自信的用中英文演唱¬——实力证明了幼教部的双语培养。

Co-Principals Ms Christine Xu and Mr Noel Thomas gave a thought-provoking speech in which they asked parents to cast their minds back to the moment they first held their new born children. “How they have grown”, Mr Thomas remarked, “and become masters of their own growth and independent learning”. This philosophy lies at the heart of the Yew Chung model, in which children are seen as independent, capable individuals who learn actively through exploration.

双校长Christine Xu女士和Noel Thomas先生发表了发人深省的演讲，他们引导家长回想当年孩子刚出生的时候。 “他们是如何成长的”， Thomas先生说，“成为自己成长和独立学习的主人”。这个理念是耀中教育模式的核心，在这个模式中，孩子们被视为独立且有能力的个体，可以通过探索积极的学习。

The ceremony concluded with a party in the Year 1 foyer. Students gathered to see the cutting of the graduation cake, and enjoyed food and drink with parents and teachers – before returning to the ECE Learning Community to continue their explorations!

毕业典礼的最后一个环节庆祝派对在1年级大厅里举行。学生们聚在一起切毕业蛋糕，并与家长和老师们一起享用美食和饮料—然后返回幼教部学习社区继续探索！
