国风童韵 尚德明礼——记拱墅区唯诗礼幼儿园2020年秋季开学典礼
People often say a good beginning is the job half done and the beginning of a new academic year is probably the most important event for all of us. On this unseasonably warm last day of summer, Gongshu One campus of Wesley kindergarten welcomed its little students to a new exciting year of their lives. The kindergarten made all the necessary preparations to make this happy occasion possible despite the epidemic and everyone was delighted to reunite after a long summer holiday. The nurse was ready with a thermometer and the classes prepared activities in their own classrooms as a concession to these trying times. All the children have grown taller, learned new skills, gained new experiences and couldn’t wait to share with their teachers and friends.
人们常说良好的开始是成功的一半，新的学期对所有师生来说都是最重要的日子之一。八月的最后一天，骄阳依旧炽烈，拱墅区唯诗礼幼儿园迎来了开学的第一天。无论是老师、孩子还是家长，每个人内心都欢喜雀跃、激动无比。
晨间温柔的微风杂糅着夏末的热情，孩子们迎着第一缕朝阳开启生命的新旅程。为了帮助孩子们更加顺利地返园，减轻入园压力和低龄段宝贝们的分离焦虑，幼儿园全体教职工在开学前做了大量的准备工作，园长妈妈也为每个宝贝送上了美好的祝福。让孩子们在面对新学期时，有更充足的心理准备。
特殊时期，抗击疫情，我们毫不松懈，查绿码、刷市民卡、消毒、测温、晨检，入园流程，我们认真执行。一大早，老师们便排队在幼儿园门口等候孩子们的归来。当孩子们再次见到亲爱的老师和小伙伴时，仿佛所有在幼儿园的快乐时光和温暖记忆被瞬间唤起，牵手和拥抱表达了彼此间满满的信任，同时也驱散了孩子们内心的焦虑和家长的担忧。孩子们在假期长高了，学习了新技能，获取了新的经验并都迫不及待地想跟老师和朋友们分享。
As the children entered the kindergarten they were immediately invited to have a taste of various traditional Chinese activities. The most popular stations were of course the big Chinese drum that let the children showcase their musical talents and the calligraphy activity where the children were encourage to try creating good wishes with ink and brushes. Some children needed parents’ help, some children insisted on doing it by themselves but everybody had a red poster with a good message for the coming year at the end of it.
为了给孩子们带来不一样的惊喜，感受中华文化的魅力，我们准备了一个独具传统特色的开学典礼。八点之后家长带着孩子们陆陆续续地到场，孩子们有序地跨进启智门，寓意从此开启心智，踏上求学问道之路。
“击鼓明智”来源于《学记》：“入学鼓箧，孙其业也”，意在通过击鼓声警示，引起学生对读书的重视，其目的在于让孩子目明耳聪、茅塞顿开、创业建功。孩子在老师的引导下击响大鼓，“一击明德，二击亲民，三击止于至善”。孩子们一个个井然有序地击了三声鼓。这雄壮的鼓声寄托着老师、家长对孩子们一个崭新的希望，祝福我们的孩子在新的学年里耳聪目明、茅塞顿开！
“朱砂开智”，老师用朱砂为刚刚入学的孩子的额头正中点上红痣，这又称之为“开天眼”。“红痣”的“痣”跟“智慧”的“智”同音，意思是开启智慧，以此寄托美好的愿望——孩子们从此眼明心明，好读书，读好书。
开笔礼，不只是一个典礼，它是唯诗礼的教育理念，也是对中华优秀传统文化的传承与践行。
“人”字分为两笔，一撇一捺，两笔互相支撑，缺一不可，人生亦如此，一笔为品德，一笔为才能。”开笔破蒙”这一仪式主要是让孩子在老师的指导下学写“人”字。从写“人”字到学做人。希望唯诗礼的宝贝们在人生的启蒙阶段先学做人。
“中国有礼仪之大，故称夏；有服章之美，谓之华”。故中国自古被誉为“礼仪之邦”，特別崇尚“礼”。礼在我们的文化和生活中的重要性不言而喻，一如孔子所言：“不学礼，无以立。
在老师的引领下，唯诗礼的小朋友们神情专注，完成了一项项仪式。用隆重而有仪式感的活动来引领他们，更能激发他们对学习的好奇和重视。这与唯诗礼作为IB世界学校和“玩中学”主题探究课程的理念不谋而合。
