On the chilly Thursday morning of January 9th Wesley Kindergarten in Gongshu kicked off its third New Year’s concert at the Fengma in Theatre in Xixi Impression City Mall. This concert marks the beginning of the New Year and is a welcome opportunity for the children to express themselves. This was Wesley’s third New Year’s concert and it was, as always, exciting and fulfilling!

1月9日上午,拱墅区唯诗礼幼儿园2020年第三届新年音乐会在西溪印象城丰马in剧场拉开帷幕。这是2020年新年伊始的值得所有人铭记的一天,也是全体唯诗礼小朋友“如何表达自己”的最佳呈现。从每位小朋友的自主参与,节目的自编自导,老师与家长志愿者的协同参与,无一不体现出唯诗礼致力于共建学习者社区的宗旨。转眼间,唯诗礼幼儿园已经走过了三个年头,每年的新年音乐会总是万众期待,精彩纷呈!让我们一起用照片记录下这充满喜悦和美好的时刻。

We have a person at Wesley Kindergarten who welcomes children to school every morning, who always wears a big smile upon her face, and loves to record stories of daily life to share with everyone. She is always enthusiastic, cheerful, and confident. She is our beloved Principal Louise. Principal Louise thanked each child for their dedication to their rehearsals and expressed how proud she was of their daily progress.

在唯诗礼幼儿园,有这样一个人。清晨,她会带着灿烂的微笑迎接每一位孩子的到来。放学后,她会用娓娓动听的语调录好听的故事与大家分享,她热情、开朗、自信,她就是我们人见人爱的Louise园长。Louise园长感谢每一位小朋友认真对待每一次排练,为他们的每一个小小进步感到无比自豪。人的一生中有许多终身难忘的回忆,今天也将同样是一个创造惊喜的时刻,每一个小朋友的表现会让他们自己和爸爸妈妈还有老师们终身难忘!
