新禾 毕业特刊 片首

                         凤凰花开的路口

J：Hello, I am Jamila Song, the Chinese teacher of Grade 5. I joined Nord Anglia School Jiaxing in 2022 and had an amazing year with my Grade 5 students.

S: May I ask why you decided to organize this collection of students’ work? Can you tell us what’s in it?

J: Of course. This portfolio was created by all Grade 5 students. We were working on the Childhood theme. The students recalled their memories of childhood. Their skills of writing were still developing but I’m glad to see many students have made great progress and shown their passion in writing. They shared their joyful childhood. I am very happy that the students' first attempt of being "little editors" has produced such a great outcome! 

Grade 5 is in the transition year. I have been thinking about what graduation gift I should give to them. I was inspired by their stories. Good memories should be treasured. Wouldn't it be meaningful to share our work with the school community? This idea then led to the action of producing this special issue--Xin He Graduation - A Collection of Childhood Works. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to Ms. Angela Shen and Ms. Helen Zhuang for their support!

S: Thank you! What do you want to say to your students?

J: I'd like to thank my students! I'm touched by their love towards Chinese language! Whenever I see their works, I can truly feel their effort! Seeing their willingness to take challenges, their improvement in thinking skills, and the spirit of teamwork, I am very happy about what they have achieved!

I would like to say to my dear students:You have made me very proud and honored! I have seen the language shine in your eyes and hearts. I believe you can make languages more vibrant as you grow older. Finally, I look forward to my dear students continuing to enjoy the study of language and literature. You will gain all-round progress in your next studies, confident and happy, with the future to look forward to!
