盛夏渐远，岁月温良，最是宜人在浅秋。 愉快的暑假悄然结束，开学季伴随着秋天的脚步款款而至。8月31日，我们迎来了新学期的报到日！ Summer is fading away, the years are warm, and the most pleasant time is in autumn. As the summer holidays come to an end, the start of the school year is approaching with the footsteps of autumn, and on 31st August, we welcomed the arrival of the new school term!
为迎接协和学子的到来，学部领导精心策划，班主任与任课教师在教室进行了精心的布置，摆放好书本，用隆重的仪式欢迎孩子们的归来。
In order to welcome the arrival of SUIS HF’s students, the leadership of the school department planned carefully, and the classroom teachers and teachers in the classroom made elaborate arrangements, placed the books, and welcomed the children’s return with a grand ceremony.
大队部的学长学姐们也精心准备，在大门口迎接，将刚入一年级的协和宝贝们以及新加入协和大家庭的新生送入班级。
The older siblings of the Brigade were also well-prepared to meet and greet at the main entrance, sending the new first-grade SUIS HF babies and newcomers to the SUIS HF family to their classes.
太阳当空照，花儿对我笑，小鸟说：“早！早！早！你为什么背上小书包？” “因为我是小学生啦！”今天是一年级萌娃成长中的重要时刻，他们开启了属于自己的求知之旅。
The sun is shining, the flowers are smiling at me, and the birds are saying, “Good morning! Why are you wearing a backpack?” “Because I’m a primary school student! ” Today is an important moment in the development of first graders as they begin their own journey of knowledge.
走进教室，老师们温柔的话语缓解了孩子们紧张的情绪，亲切地问询孩子们对新学期的期待。孩子们稍显羞涩地表达了自己对新环境、新老师、新同学的喜欢。
Walking into the classroom, the teachers’ gentle words eased the children’s nervousness and kindly asked them about their expectations for the new term. The children expressed their love for the new environment, new teachers and new classmates with a little shyness.
一年级的萌宝们还体验了有趣的“奇思妙探”游园活动。在班主任和副班主任的带领下，萌娃们打卡了缪斯剧院、协力馆、狮楼、龙楼，穿过文化长廊，来到行政楼，最后回到了教室。在每一个打卡站点，有大队部的哥哥姐姐们进行生动有趣的讲解，小萌娃们听得津津有味，也对协和校园有了完整的认识。
The P1 children also experienced a fun “Wonder Quest” tour of the campus. Led by the class teacher and deputy head teacher, the children clocked up the Muse Theatre, the Art & Sports Center, the Lion Building, the Dragon Building, walked through the Cultural Corridor to the Administration Building and finally back to their classrooms. At each of the punching stations, there were lively and interesting explanations by the seniors of the brigade department, and the children listened with great interest and got a complete understanding of the SUIS Hefei Campus.
红日初升，其道大光。前途似海，来日方长。崭新的学期正式启航，希望孩子们日日有进步、月月有收获、年年有成长，成为一名“融合中西，和谐发展”的协和少年！
The red sun is rising, and its path is bright. The future looks like an ocean, and the days ahead are long. As a brand new term begins, we hope that the children will make progress day by day, make gains month by month, and grow up year by year, so that they can become a “East Meets West” SUIS HF youth!
