The Aerobics House Competition
健美操團(tuán)隊(duì)對(duì)抗賽
The Dance and Aerobics House Competition, held in the first week of December is now an annual feature in the PYP, a much looked forward to event and for good reason. This first formal house competition, led by House Captains, throws a spotlight on team spirit, creativity, coordination, enthusiasm and respect
自今年起，每年12月的首周，PYP都會(huì)迎來一場(chǎng)令人期待的活動(dòng)——舞蹈和健美操比賽。這是由各House隊(duì)長(zhǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)，展現(xiàn)團(tuán)隊(duì)精神、創(chuàng)造、協(xié)調(diào)、熱情、尊重的一次正式的House對(duì)抗賽。
The event started off with a dance performance from the MYP Dance Club. This club clearly takes their dance seriously as their choreography and moves were coordinated to perfection. We are grateful for them being such risktakers and inspiring role models to our younger students.
此次活動(dòng)由MYP舞蹈社的舞蹈開場(chǎng)，精彩的編排和協(xié)調(diào)的動(dòng)作展現(xiàn)了日常她們對(duì)舞蹈社團(tuán)的用心。感謝這些挑戰(zhàn)者們?yōu)槲覀兊湍昙?jí)的學(xué)生樹立了榜樣。
The lineup began with Song House dancing to ‘Backseat Driver’. Their light sabers, a novel accessory and their loud house chant made them a force to reckon with. On reflection, Song House mentions they were proud of their costume idea, cooperation, team work, dancing and just being a ‘Song House’ member.
對(duì)抗賽以宋House的“Backseat Driver”拉開序幕。他們用光劍這個(gè)新奇的道具和響亮的口號(hào)，昭示著他們是難以抗衡的。宋House的成員認(rèn)為，不論是服裝創(chuàng)意、團(tuán)隊(duì)協(xié)作，還是舞蹈等，他們都為自己是宋House中的一員而感到自豪。
Ming House came in next and danced to ‘Believer’ with a lot of passion. They pride themselves on doing their best, throwing their caps up in the air at the same time, helping each other and remembering all their dance steps.
接下來是明House，他們滿懷激情地跳著“Believer”。互相幫助，踏準(zhǔn)每一個(gè)舞步，當(dāng)他們向空中拋出帽子時(shí)，他們也為用盡全力做到的自己感到驕傲!
Han House was nowhere in sight when they were called on, and some of us were made to wonder if they decided to step out of the competition. Surely enough, Han surprised the audience with their unique entry and formation as they danced to ‘Roar’ by Katy Perry. Han House members are proud of their communication, cooperation and acting that was all part of their performance.
當(dāng)輪到漢House出場(chǎng)時(shí)，無(wú)人站在臺(tái)中，有些人甚至懷疑他們是否準(zhǔn)備放棄比賽。當(dāng)漢在Katy Perry 的“Roar”中以獨(dú)特的方式和隊(duì)形出場(chǎng)時(shí)，頓時(shí)讓觀眾們大吃一驚。表演中伙伴間的交流、配合，每一個(gè)部分都令漢House的成員們感到自豪。
Tang House danced to ‘Ready Set Go’ and were ready to take on the challenge from the get go. Their performance was fast paced and full of excitement. On reflection, they felt they did a good job with jumping, doing the exact moves and dancing even if their hats fell off.
唐House挑選了一首挑戰(zhàn)難度頗大的“Ready Set Go”。他們的節(jié)奏很快，興致盎然。回顧時(shí)他們對(duì)自己的舞蹈表現(xiàn)很滿意，動(dòng)作準(zhǔn)確，即便帽子掉了也沒有影響節(jié)奏。
Before the winners were announced, the audience were invited to step onto the dance floor and sweat it out. I am always amazed by the willingness and participation of our community. Get ready families, for next year we will also host the Inter-house Family Dance Competition.
在宣布獲勝者之前，觀眾們被邀請(qǐng)走進(jìn)舞池，盡情揮灑汗水。我們社區(qū)的參與度總是會(huì)為我?guī)眢@喜。準(zhǔn)備好吧，家長(zhǎng)們，明年我們將舉辦家庭舞蹈比賽。
The event ended with calling on the winners, and handing out certificates of achievement. The students returned to their houserooms happy and proud of the day’s work. As part of their continuous push to improve, they took a moment to reflect on their dances and share feedback on house leadership.
伴隨著獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)弑皇谟瑁舜位顒?dòng)落下了帷幕。學(xué)生們回到自己的團(tuán)隊(duì)，為這一天的努力感到高興與驕傲。作為自我提升的一部分，他們對(duì)自己的舞蹈表現(xiàn)進(jìn)行了反思，并與House分享了反饋意見。
Wellbeing and mindfulness is a much talked about word and relatable to even our youngest learners. Dance, exercise, the sense of community, and connection is a push towards creating a sense of wellbeing. Thank you to our teachers who helped organize this event and to all the families who attended.
幸福感和積極向上是經(jīng)常被討論的詞語(yǔ)，對(duì)我們較小的學(xué)習(xí)者來說更是如此。舞蹈、鍛煉、社區(qū)意識(shí)和聯(lián)系，是創(chuàng)造幸福感的推動(dòng)力。感謝幫助組織這次活動(dòng)的老師們和參與的活動(dòng)的家庭。
I know some houses have started to think up ideas for the next competition.
See you on the dance floor next year!
我知道有些House已經(jīng)開始為下次的對(duì)抗賽做準(zhǔn)備了。
明年舞池見!
