對話總校長，這群小記者厲害了~
In October, Suzhou is full of the sweet scent of Osmanthus. There is a group of busy children walking in a hurry in the quiet campus.
他們要去哪里？他們要去做什么？讓我們尋著那匆匆的腳步去一探究竟吧。
Where are they going? What are they going to do? Let's follow their steps to find out.
超學科主題探究——我們如何組織自己
Transdisciplinary Theme—How we organize ourselves
原來，這是蘇城外國學校獨具特色的PYP課程。本次探究活動的中心思想是：政府系統和政府決策對社會的影響。
It turned out that this was a part of the UOI course of Soochow Foreign Language School. The central idea of this unit is: the influence of government system and government decision-making on society.
孩子們對“系統”這個概念還不清晰，如何去理解呢？于是老師便引導大家思考下身邊的“系統”，與此產生聯系幫助他們去理解“系統”的中心思想。
However, children were not familiar with the concept "system". Teachers guided them to think about the "systems" around them, helping them find the connection between real life and abstract concept to better understand the central idea.
五年級的學生們化身“小記者”，在校園里展開“破題”之旅——采訪學校各職能部門，詢問其職責范圍，理清學校組織框架，明白學校系統是如何運作的。
As a result, the students in Year Five turned into "little reporters" and started a journey of "problem solving" on campus by interviews of all functional departments of the school, sorting out the organizational framework of the school, and finally got to understand how the school system works.
第一站去哪呢？當然是總校長室。自信開朗的“小記者”勇敢的敲開了總校長室的大門，他們特想問一問，平日里和藹可親的校長，整天都在忙什么呢？
So where was their first stop? The principal's office, of course. The confident and cheerful "little reporters" bravely knocked on the door of the principal's office. They wanted to ask what the amiable principal was busy with every day.
你瞧，他們嚴肅認真的樣子，還真有“記者范”。
Take a look of their serious "reporter style". Time to ask questions.
提問環節到了，大家都會問些什么呢？
還別說，“小記者”憑著敏銳的觀察，
問的問題還真五花八門！
With keen observation, the "little reporters" asked a variety of questions.
“校長，這么大的學校，您是如何來管理的呢？”
“How do you manage such a big school?”
“首先，一個人的精力是有限的。這么大的學校要做到井然有序、有條不紊，必然需要一個優秀的管理團隊。對此我們提出‘與優秀者同行’、‘與志同道合者同行’、‘與尊重學生差異者同行’的理念，挑選優秀的教育工作者加入管理團隊，共同幫助學校進步……”
"First of all, everyone's energy is limited. An excellent management team is quite necessary for such a great school to be well organized. So we commit ourselves tothe concept of 'being with the outstanding people' 'being with people who trust others' and 'being with the individuals who respect the differences among students', we select excellent educators to join the management team to help the school make progress together...”
“校長，您對學生有哪些期望呢？”
“What is your expectation for the students?”
“我們學校是一所IB國際學校，以‘教育為一生奠基’為使命，實施‘全納’、‘全人’教育，我們努力使年輕的一代成為勤學好問、知識淵博、積極進取、富有愛心的終身學習者，他們兼具中國靈魂和國際情懷，能為民族振興和更美好、更和平的世界貢獻力量……”
“Our school is an international IB school. With the mission of 'Education is the footstone of an individual', we implement 'inclusive' and 'holistic' education. We strive to make the younger generation a lifelong learner who is inquiring, knowledgeable,active and compassionate. They have both Chinese identity and international mindedness. They can also contribute to a better China and a more peaceful world..."
“校長您的頭發為什么白了，是工作累的嗎？”
“Why your hair is all gray. Is it because of work?”
“校長，您每天的工作都是什么呢？”
“What is your everyday work?”
“校長，您在工作中都會遇到哪些難題呢？”
“Are there any difficulties in your work?”
……
總校長李春雷先生耐心細致地解答了“小記者”們提出的每一個問題，并對大家提出了期望。
As the general principal of Soochow Foreign Language School, Mr. David Li responded to the reporters with patience.
“小記者”們經過此次采訪，對校長的工作有了大致了解，不由感嘆到：看來，要管理好一所學校還真不是那么簡單的事呢！
After the interview, the litter reporters were impressed about the duty of a principal and the difficulty to manage a school.
接著，同學們還采訪了醫務室，了解到醫生阿姨要24小時值班，隨時應對學生的突發疾病，保障在校學生的身體健康；走訪了人力辦，總務處，小學項目處等相關部門人員，通過采訪，孩子們了解了部門之間的聯系和主要職責，也感慨老師們工作的不易。
The students also interviewed the nurses at the school infirmary and learned that they are on duty 24 hours a day to deal with any sudden injury of the students, and ensure the health of the students at school. They also visited the human resources office, general affairs office, international exchange center, admissions office, library and etc., through which the children learned that it was not easy to be a teacher and the effective operation of a system requires each position to play a role.
特別是保衛處的保安叔叔，通過采訪，“小記者”們才真正知道了保安叔叔可不僅僅是“看看門”這么簡單，他們負責的可是全校師生的安全，嚴格執行學校制定的安保制度，全天候執勤，時刻為我們保駕護航。
They were particularly impressed by the security guards. Beyond simply guarding the gate, they are responsible for the safety of the entire school staff and students all the time.
教室里的孩子們也沒有閑著，他們根據平時對校園的觀察，結合自己合理的推測初步構建出蘇城外國語學校的組織架構圖，等小記者們回來分享他們的采訪所得后，將他們的心目中的蘇城外國語學校用各種形式表現出來。
The children in the classroom were also busy working on the organizational chart of Soochow Foreign Language School according to their daily observation and speculation. When the little reporters came back and shared their findings, they presented the school system in their eyes in various forms together.
帶著這樣的認識，同學們將繼續深入本單元的探究。把校園當成課堂，自發探究，循序漸進，讓自己成為學習的主導者。以開放主動的活動形式，培養交流溝通的能力，呈現出IB學習者的風采。
With this understanding, they will continue to explore this unit. In Soochow Foreign Language School, we take the campus as the classroom and let students become the owners of their learning.
which develops their communication and social skills and demonstrates the IB learner profile attributes.
