This morning, our Battle of the Books (Mandarin) team were awarded their certificates by Principal Mr. Cooklin.
Here's a summary from Mandarin Teacher, Miss Kim Lau:
With a round of applause, the Chinese Battle of the Books contest began at 8.30am on Tuesday 12 April.
We had 12 students attend the competition, namely Michael Chen, Rebecca Chen, Andrew Chim, Leo Zhang, Louis Zhang, Judy Zhu, Sophia Gong, Mazy Law, Skylar Zhu, Tim Zhu, Annie Bai and Sissi Yu. It was the first time for NAIS to join a formal inter-school competition like this.
During the competition, I could see that their hard work began to pay off. Each round, they answered fluently with confidence. They were creative, enthusiastic and mature. It was very encouraging seeing them winning points – I felt extremly proud of them. Winning the competition was completely down to them and, the group’s teamwork and determination. However, I believe that our students will not stop here and continue to do just as well in the future! Congratulations to them!
4月12日上午8点30分，随着一阵热烈的掌声，第二届中文阅读擂台赛拉开了序幕。我校共有12名学生参加了这次活动，选手们积极踊跃地参与每场比赛，并取得了十分可喜的成绩，展示了NAIS学生的独特风采。
虽然是第一次参加正式的校际阅读擂台赛，我们NAIS的选手们仍然在赛场上表现出专业的风范。答题流利、自信满满、准备充分，让其他国际学校的老师和同学们眼前一亮。这次比赛在学生们的团队协作能力、反应敏捷性和临场心理素质等方面都得到了锻炼，这是我们最大的收获。
这次的校际阅读擂台赛正值香港春意盎然的时节，今年赛场上是真正的收获满满。相信NAIS的学生们前进的脚步不会停止于此，让我们翘首以待！
