Chinese New Year Celebrations in Newbrdige Academy

培养具有全球意识的未来公民是新桥学校的教育目标之一。这一目标在学生们的全球文化主题营养课和午餐中重点体现。此外，就是通过对第二外语的学习渗透全球文化意识。作为BC省首家中英双语私立小学，新桥学校不仅为学生提供学习汉语的机会，还将中国语言艺术及中国文化融入在对这门语言的学习中。

Cultivating global awareness for future world citizen is one of the goals of Newbridge Academy. Our students grow global mindedness through Nutrition Program and daily lunch meals, as well as, learning second languages. As the first English-Mandarin Bilingual Independent School in BC, Newbridge Academy not only provides students with the opportunity to learn Mandarin, but also integrates Chinese language arts and Chinese culture in the study of the language.

在刚刚过去的中国新年里，新桥的学生在校内开展了中国年主题活动和派对。他们用绘画装饰灯笼，通过手工制作中国龙，并且参与了当地社区的新年庆典活动。他们通过表演新年歌曲和舞蹈给活动现场的人们带去了温暖的新年祝福。

Students of Newbridge Academy have carried out the Chinese New Year theme activities and parties in the school for the 2018 Chinese New Year in the past two weeks. They decorated the lanterns with beautiful Chinese paintings, they made hand crafts of Chinese Dragon, and they took part in the local community Chinese celebration events. In the event, they sent great new year wishes to people through Chinese-new-year themed singing and dancing performance.

此外，每一位新桥学生还收到了新年的特别礼物。来自校长为大家精心挑选的新年卡片和来自同学们写的一封信---我被同学们所欣赏的原因。

Furthermore, each Newbridge student has received a special gift for the new year. A new year card from the Principal and a letter "why am I appreciated by my classmates" from all the other students.

新桥的学生在海外感受到了浓浓的中国年氛围，也成为送上新年祝福的小使者。这是多元和包容的加拿大文化在学校教育中的体现。

Newbridge students have experienced a strong atmosphere of Chinese New Year abroad. They also participated as messengers to deliver new year's blessings to people in this country. This is the embodiment of the multicultural and inclusive Canadian culture in school education.
