SCBS
作为一所十二年一贯制的双语学校，康德双语充分发挥自身的优势，以达到双语双文化的融会贯通。在康德双语小学部，孩子们在完成日常课程学习的同时，还有丰富的综合实践活动，这些活动以中西融合主题式项目化学习的形式展开。比如主题演讲、讲故事、诗歌朗诵、戏剧观摩或表演、对话作者（译者）等。本期推文就将带大家观摩一组英语魔法童话剧进校园和对话第三届陈伯吹新儿童文学创作大赛获奖作者的精彩活动。
英国魔法童话剧走进康德
SCBS
11月19日，英国英语魔法童话剧《巨人国历险记》走进康德校园，为孩子们带来一场全英语的视听盛宴。这是继去年与中国上海国际艺术节101艺场合作后的又一精彩之举，且是该童话剧首次校园专场演出，首站便是康德双语。孩子们有机会在校园与艺术家近距离接触，感受英语童话剧的魅力。演出结束后，孩子们接受了上海电视台“哈哈少儿”频道的采访，请点击上方视频查看“新闻同学”节目组的采访。

全英文戏剧演出：母语环境，提升英语听说能力
对于孩子们来说，这不仅仅是一场精彩的表演，更是一次沉浸式的英语学习之旅。他们置身全英语环境，一个类似英语母语的环境：无论是演员生动的台词对白，还是演员演绎的不同角色之间的情感交流，都以英语为媒介。这种方式打破了传统课堂英语学习的局限，为孩子们开启了全新的学习之旅。孩子们通过聆听和理解剧情中的英语表达，孩子们的听力和理解能力得到了锻炼。同时，演员富有感染力的表演和清晰的发音，也为孩子们提供了优质的口语模仿范例。

双语阅读与戏剧表演相结合：深度理解剧情，增强学习效果
本次活动巧妙地将阅读与观剧相结合，为孩子们带来了更为丰富和深刻的体验。在观看《巨人国历险记》魔法剧之前，孩子们已经阅读了双语版的童话《杰克与魔豆》。当他们坐在观众席上时，书中的文字化作了舞台上的一幕幕画面，那些熟悉的角色和情节在眼前生动地展现出来。他们能够迅速地理解剧情的发展和转折，捕捉到每一个细节所蕴含的情感。
这次童话剧首次进入康德的校园进行专场演出，孩子们有机会近距离感受专业戏剧表演的魅力：全剧一个演员，分演多个角色；十多件道具也是各有创意。孩子们观剧的过程不仅仅是英语学习的过程，更是激发想象力、创造力的过程。
康德双语戏剧社英语剧首演即将拉开帷幕！
12 月 3 日，星期二，康德双语戏剧社的第一次正式演出即将精彩呈现。康德双语戏剧社此次首演的剧目是经典全英文戏剧《男孩、鼹鼠、狐狸和马》。这部戏剧是由同名绘本及动画片改编，以生动有趣的形式，帮助学生们理解友谊的珍贵、善良的力量。
此次演出由康德双语外方老师指导，戏剧社的同学们将全程用英语演绎鲜活的角色。通过戏剧这种寓教于乐的学习方式，学生们可以全方位地锻炼和发展英语能力，将戏剧融入英语学习，不但激发学生英语学习的兴趣，也帮助他们在演出过程中更好地了解了剧本蕴含的文化深意，让我们共同期待这场精彩绝伦的戏剧华章。
康德师生对话陈奖佳作得主
康德双语同样重视中文学习，语文教研组、学校图书馆经常举办读书活动，激发学生的阅读兴趣；各种与作者、译者的见面会，则意在提高学生的阅读品质。
近日“第三届陈伯吹新儿童文学创作大赛”颁奖典礼在校园举行。康德双语的师生有机会成为“陈伯吹新儿童文学创作大赛”作品评鉴团的成员。学校的党团员老师带着孩子们优先试读获奖作品。颁奖典礼上，康德师生代表和获得第三届“陈伯吹新儿童文学创作大赛”佳作奖的作品《墙上的马》的作者蓝钥匙展开了一场高质量的对话。

一些好奇与很多思考
——孩子们和老师想对作者说的话和提出的问题
SCBS
4B 刘芯荷：
我比较喜欢小海的爷爷用独角鲸的针和月光的线来缝补漩涡的场景，我还喜欢巨人翻山越岭、跋山涉水来寻找其他巨人的场景。很想知道作者是从哪里获得这些灵感的？
4C 薛凯铨：
我想那辆吐泡泡的汽车是小鱼吧。我也想要大大的想象力！
5B 吴添铖：
在作者的笔下，哥哥为什么看不见那些弟弟能看见的东西？
5C 王慕夕：
在看到爷爷为了救小海和漩涡搏斗的那一段时，我心跳加速，有快要窒息的感觉，请问您是怎么写出那么让人热血沸腾的细节的，是亲身经历过吗？还是想象出来的？可以给我们的写作提一点建议吗？
4Q 邱泓钧：
为什么叫“蓝钥匙”这个笔名？
蔡骏校长：
小朋友确实特别有想象力，有很多自己天马行空的想法，但是在表达方面，他们有时是不能分清楚现实的和幻想的，会出现现实和幻想混作一团的情况。李老师有没有一些给小朋友的建议，我们应该用什么样的技巧和方式去准确地去表达看到的东西和心里的东西？
关于灵感、想象力和爱
——作者蓝钥匙的回复
关于《墙上的马》灵感来源：
这本书由十几个小故事组成，这些小故事相对独立，但是有一条主线作为整个故事的线索。
其实这个故事的创作灵感有一部分是我小时候的生活经历，还有我两个女儿跟我生活的日常。这个故事里面是现实和幻想交织在一起的，故事里的现实部分有很多都是真实发生过的，是从日常生活中发现的。也就是说，我们的想象应该是有“根”的，这个“根”就是我们生活的土壤。
关于孩子眼中的现实与想象：
一个很好的办法就是让孩子去写或者去画，把情绪转嫁到文字或者图画上去，用这种方式来表达自己此刻的心境，同时，这也会成为孩子童年时代的一笔巨大财富。我小时候就是这样一个孩子，而且我幻想的时间很长，我当时就会把我的那些想法写在小人书里或是画出来。回想当时的创作，如今也觉得它们都是我有了自己的孩子以后，走上儿童文学创作之路的营养库。所以，我们要珍视在儿童时期的每一次想象，这是一笔财富，是非常宝贵的。
关于一些情节的描写为何如此逼真：
有些事情即便不曾真实地发生过，在写作的时候，就算笔下的文字是想象的，我们的情感、我们的爱却要真情流露。故事可以虚构，但爱一定是真挚的。我们写作也应该这样，把真实的情感渗透到你的文字里去，多读多写，你们也可以写出比我更好的文字，未来可期。
关于如何把握稍纵即逝的灵感：
灵感是我们每一位写作者特别珍视的东西，它不会按常理出牌，来时没有踪迹，不会告诉我“今天晚上我就要来到你的身边”。我的灵感不是在写作的时候恰好到来的，所以当灵感降临的时候，我习惯随时记录，我的手机里面就有非常多的灵感碎片。如果你有灵感的时候千万不要放过它，要不断地强化它、训练它、记忆它，然后你的灵感就会越来越容易迸发出来。
关于“蓝钥匙”这个笔名：
我比较喜欢蓝色，我又觉得钥匙的形象很好，如果我的故事能够像钥匙一样打开读者的心门，这就是个非常好的礼物，所以就起了这个“笔名”，用到了现在。
关于想象力如何运用和发掘：
想象力是推动我们人类进步的阶梯。想象力的作用太多了，如果一个人没有想象力的话，他会生活得非常痛苦。我相信大家坐在这个地方，肯定心里也在想着什么东西，这是我们在跟这个世界相处的过程。想象力是与生俱来的一种能力，我们随时都在运用它，这是我的观点。
每个孩子都是独一无二的个体
——来自老师的触动
SCBS
蒲悦（康德双语小学部心理老师）：
“故事中的两个小朋友性格迥异的，哥哥注重理性，也专注于现实，弟弟比较天马行空，感知力和想象力都是比较丰富的。
在现实生活中，我们大人常常会不自觉地用自己的经验和所谓的标准去评判孩子的想法。然而，每个孩子都是独一无二的个体，就像书中可能展现出的不同角色有着不同的性格和行为方式一样。如同作品所潜在传达的理念，我们何不放下那些条条框框，给予孩子们充分表达自我的空间，用心去倾听他们内心真实的声音，引导孩子们辩证地来看待他们自己的性格特点，他们也更能学会如何与自己相处，能够更自洽，同时也能学会和不同的人相处……
作者的故事给到了我很多启发，我们也可以鼓励小朋友们用艺术性的表达以及阅读文学、创作文学来消除一些离散的消极情绪。比如说《我很孤独》当中，弟弟用一个孤独巨人的方式接住了哥哥那些无人能诉说和理解的孤独感，也通过巨人漫长而又治愈的旅途，带给了哥哥一些慰藉和启发。孩子们会和故事当中很多人物产生共鸣，以及情感被认可和接纳的满足感。”
康德双语始终致力于双语双文化的融合学习，通过一系列精彩纷呈且富有深度的活动，为孩子们搭建一座跨学科项目学习的桥梁。无论是英语魔法童话剧带来的沉浸式语言与艺术体验，还是与文学创作者的深度对话交流，皆巧妙地将语言学习、文化感悟与艺术鉴赏融为一体。学校为孩子们提供了更大的展示舞台与更优的成长平台，链接了丰富的教育资源，助力他们成长为具有国际视野，身心健康且德才兼备的卓越人才，我们期待孩子们能在未来探索属于他们自己的无限精彩！

SCBS
In SCBS Primary School, children complete their daily curriculum studies with a rich variety of integrated practical activities, which are carried out in the form of thematic project-based learning in the integration of Chinese and Western cultures. These activities take the form of theme-based project-based learning, such as keynote speeches, storytelling, poetry recitation, drama observation or performance, and conversations with authors (translators). In this issue, we will take you to observe a set of English Magic Fairy Tale Drama in school and a dialogue with the winning authors of the 3rd Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award Ceremony.
British Magic Fairy Tale Theatre Comes to SCBS
SCBS
On 19th November, the British English magic fairy tale play ‘Adventures in the Land of Giants’ came to SCBS Campus, bringing an all-English audio-visual feast to the students. This is another wonderful move after the cooperation with 101 Art Theatre of Shanghai International Art Festival last year, and it is the first time that the fairy tale theatre has been performed exclusively on campus, and the first stop is SCBS. The children had the opportunity to have a close encounter with the artist and experience the charm of English fairy tale theatre on campus. After the performance, the children were interviewed by Shanghai TV's ‘Haha Children's’ channel, please click on the video above to see the interview by the ‘News Classmates’ programme team below.

Full English Drama Performance: Native Language Environment, Improvement of English Listening and Speaking Skills
For the children, this is not just a spectacular performance, but also an immersive English learning journey. They were immersed in an all-English environment, a native English-like environment: both the actors' vivid dialogue and the emotional exchanges between the different characters they portrayed were all in the medium of English. This approach breaks the confines of traditional classroom English learning and opens up a whole new learning journey for the children. By listening to and understanding the English expressions in the play, the children's listening and comprehension skills are honed. At the same time, the infectious performances and clear pronunciation of the actors provide children with quality examples of oral imitation.

Bilingual reading combined with theatre performances: deeper understanding of the play and enhanced learning
The event skilfully combined reading and theatre viewing to provide a richer and deeper experience for the children. Before watching the magical play ‘Adventures in the Land of Giants’, the children had already read the bilingual version of the fairy tale ‘Jack and the Beanstalk’. When they sat in the audience, the words in the book were transformed into a scene on the stage, and the familiar characters and plots were vividly displayed in front of their eyes. They were able to quickly understand the development and twists of the plot and capture the emotions embedded in every detail.
This was the first time that the fairy tale play entered SCBS' campus for a special performance, and the children had the opportunity to experience the charm of professional theatre performances up close: the whole play was performed by a single actor who played multiple roles, and the more than ten props were also creative. The process of watching the play is not only a process of learning English, but also a process of stimulating imagination and creativity.
The curtain is about to go up on the premiere of
the SCBS Drama Club's English play!
On Tuesday, 3rd December, the SCBS Drama Club will present its first official performance. The SCBS Drama Club's first performance will be the classic all-English play ‘The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse’. Adapted from the picture book and animated film of the same name, the play is a lively and entertaining way to help students understand the preciousness of friendship and the power of kindness.
The performance is directed by Mr Alex Atherton, G5 teacher from SCBS, and the students of the Drama Club will interpret vivid characters in English throughout the performance. Through drama, students can practise and develop their English skills in an all-round way. Integrating drama into English learning not only stimulates students' interest in English learning, but also helps them to better understand the cultural meanings of the scripts in the process of the performances, so let's look forward to this wonderful chapter of drama together.
Dialogue with award-winning authors,
reading interviews on diversified Chinese learning
SCBS also attaches importance to Mandarin learning. The Mandarin teaching and research team and the school library often organise reading activities to stimulate students‘ interest in reading, while various meetings with authors and translators are intended to improve the quality of students’ reading.
Recently, the awarding ceremony of the 3rd Chen Bochui Children's Literature Award Ceremony was held on campus. Teachers and students of SCBS had the opportunity to be part of the panel of judges for the ceremony. Teachers from the school's party committee took the children to read the winning works on a priority basis. During the award ceremony, a high-quality dialogue was held between representatives of SCBS teachers and students and Blue Key, the author of ‘The Horse on the Wall’, which won the prize for the best piece of work in the ceremony.

Some Curiosities and Lots of Thoughts
--What children and teachers want to say to the author
SCBS
4B Xinhe Liu：
I rather like the scene where Xiaohai's grandfather uses a narwhal's needle and moonlight's thread to mend the whirlpool, and I like the scene where the giants come over the mountain and trek to find the other giants. I would like to know where the author got all this inspiration from?
4C Kiquan Xue：
I think the bubble-spitting car is a small fish. I want big imagination too!
5B William Wu：
In the author's writing, why can't the older brother see those things that the younger brother can see?
5C Josephine WANG：
When I read the part where the grandfather fights the whirlpool to save Hai, my heart raced and I had the feeling that I was going to suffocate. May I ask how you wrote such blood-boiling details, did you experience it yourself? Did you experience it? Or did you imagine it? Can you give us a little advice on writing?
4Q Austin QIU：
Why is your pen name ‘Blue Key’?
Ms Janet Cai, Principal of SCBS Primary School:
Children are indeed very imaginative and have a lot of wild ideas of their own, but when it comes to expression, they are sometimes unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy, and there may be situations where reality and fantasy are mixed together. Do you have any advice for children on what techniques and ways we should use to accurately express what we see and what is in our hearts?
Comments Off on Inspiration, Imagination, and Love
- Author's Answers
About the inspiration for 'The Horse on the Wall':
The book consists of a dozen or so short stories that are relatively independent, but have a main thread that serves as a clue to the whole story.
In fact, this story was partly inspired by my life experiences as a child and the everyday life that my two daughters lived with me. In this story, reality and fantasy are intertwined, and a lot of the reality in the story has actually happened, and is found in daily life. In other words, our imagination should have a ‘root’, and this ‘root’ is the soil of our life.
About reality and imagination in the eyes of a child:
A good way to do this is to let the child write or draw, to transfer the emotions to words or pictures, and in this way express their state of mind at the moment, and at the same time, this will become a great treasure of the child's childhood years. I was such a child when I was young, and I fantasised for a long time, and I would write or draw my thoughts in little books. Looking back on my creations at that time, I now feel that they are the nutrient pool for me to embark on the road of creating children's literature after I have my own children. Therefore, we should treasure every imagination in childhood, which is a treasure and very valuable.
About why some of the episodes are portrayed so realistically:
There are some things that even if they never really happened, when writing, even if the words in the pen are imaginary, our emotions, our love has to be genuine. The story may be fictional, but the love must be genuine. We should write in the same way, to penetrate the real emotion into your words, read more and write more, you can also write better than me, the future can be expected.
On how to take advantage of fleeting inspiration:
Inspiration is something that every writer cherishes, it doesn't come in the usual way, it doesn't come without a trace, it doesn't tell me ‘I'm going to come to you tonight’. Inspiration doesn't just happen to come to me when I'm writing, so I make a habit of recording it when it does, and I have a lot of pieces of it on my mobile phone. If you have inspiration don't let it go, keep reinforcing it, training it, memorising it, and then your inspiration will come more and more easily.
About the pen name ‘Blue Key’:
I like the colour blue, and I thought the image of a key was good, and if my story could open the reader's heart like a key, it would be a very good gift, so I came up with this ‘pen name’, which I have used until now.
On how imagination can be used and explored:
Imagination is the ladder that propels us to progress as human beings. Imagination serves so many purposes that if a person has no imagination, he will live a very miserable life. I am sure that as we sit in this place, we must be thinking of something in our mind, and this is the process we are going through with the world. Imagination is an innate ability and we use it all the time, that is my opinion.
SCBS Primary School has always been committed to bilingual and bicultural learning, through a series of exciting and in-depth activities, to build a bridge for children to learn through interdisciplinary projects. Whether it is the immersive language and art experience brought about by the English Magic Fairy Tale Drama or the in-depth dialogue and exchange with literary author, all of these activities skillfully integrate language learning, cultural understanding and art appreciation. The school provides children with a bigger stage and a better platform for growth, and links them to a wealth of educational resources to help them grow into outstanding talents with international perspectives, physical and mental health, as well as moral and aptitude, and we look forward to the children exploring their own infinite splendour in the future!
