【校园活动】赠人玫瑰，手留余香——国际初中部开展团队建设活动
伴随着阵阵花香，声声鸟鸣，嘉洋国际学校已经开学两周啦。上周，七年级和八年级的学生参加了一些有趣的团队建设活动。团队建设可以有组织地增强团队成员之间的沟通交流，增进彼此的了解和信赖。
With the scent of flowers and the sound of birds singing, Joy International School has been open for two weeks. Last week grade 7 and 8 students enjoyed some fun team-building activities. Team building can enhance communication among team members in an organized way, and enhance mutual understanding and trust.
穿越河道
本次活动包括使用“岩石”（实际上是纸张！）在河上“穿越河道”的活动，以四个学生为一组，学生们站在最小的纸张上，他们用他们的手做成椅子的方式把同学送到河的另一边。学生们很安静地并且有秩序地通过他们的身高、生日、头发长度和鞋号的大小来排成一行，老师们还定了其他规则等等。
These included activities to “cross a river” using “rocks” (actually paper sheets!), to stand as a group of four students on the smallest piece of paper possible, transporting fellow students by making a chair from their hands, forming lines based on height, birthday, hair-length and show-size but without talking, and several more besides.
本次活动教育原则是使所有学生在享受体能训练和这类竞争性活动的同时，为共同的目标而共同努力。看到学生们珍惜这次活动的机会并以支持和积极的态度共同努力着，这真是太令人高兴了。
The educational principle is to enable all students to work together for a common goal while enjoying physical and competitive activities. It was hugely enjoyable to see the students embracing the opportunity and working together in a supportive and positive manner.
校园寻宝
初中部的学生们还和老师一起参加了“寻宝活动”。老师们给每一个团队分配好任务以后，大家都兴奋地开始投入到寻宝的状态中，真是有趣极了。
The middle school students also participated in the “treasure hunt” with teachers. After the teachers assigned tasks to each team, everyone excitedly began to engage in treasure hunting. It was really interesting.
老师们和初中部主任Mike Cormack在此类活动中拥有丰富的经验，他曾在英国担任童子军运动组织的负责人。将来他会继续组织更多此类活动。
Teacher and middle-school director Mike Cormack has extensive experience of such activities, having been a leader in the Scouting organization while in the UK. He will continue to organize more such activities throughout the year.
