This year at SLS and TIS, we celebrated Earth Day with a 3-day school-wide event. Earth Day first began 51 years ago to raise awareness and inspire action towards protecting our Earth. This year, we continued that goal by learning about and acting to better care for and protect our planet.
世界地球日始于51年前，旨在提高和激发人们保护地球的意识。今年，为了庆祝地球日，SLS和TIS举办了为期3天的全校地球日活动，我们通过了解和采取行动继续维护和保护环境。

DAY 1
We began our event on Wednesday, 21st April, with various tuning-in activities that introduced Earth Day and why it is so important to protect our planet. We had discussions about the Earth, pollution, our local environment, and more. “Why is the Earth green?” Why is the sky blue?”Students were concerned about the large amounts of plastic on our local beaches and began inquiring into ways they could help solve this problem.“Where does the plastic come from?” “How did it end up on the beach? “If we clean the beach, where can we put the trash?”
4月21日我们介绍了地球日，以及保护地球为何如此重要。我们还讨论了地球，污染和本地环境等问题。
“为什么地球是绿色的?”
“为什么天空是蓝色的?”
孩子们的好奇心也被激发出来。
学生们对当地海滩上大量的塑料感到担忧，并开始研究解决问题的方法：
“塑料是从哪里来的?”
“为什么较终它们在沙滩上出现?”
“如果我们清理海滩，我们可以将垃圾放在哪里?”
Our canteen baked Earth cookies for students for the afternoon snack to incite interest。
餐厅还为孩子们准备了地球日特制饼干和水果。
DAY 2
For the second day of our event, the school was buzzing with excitement! We noticed some changes to the school: Earth Day posters were displayed around campus, and the courtyard contained many planter boxes, soil, and different types of plants. Our curiosity led us to read the different posters created by our schoolmates. We asked questions about the new planter boxes, such as, “Where can we put the plants?” “Does each class get one?” “Can we keep it here for a long time?” “How much water does it need?”
第二天，孩子们留意到了校内的一些变化，兴奋不已：校园周围张贴了地球日海报，增添了花盆、土壤和各种植物。
好奇心促使孩子们阅读了各种海报，问了关于新花箱的问题，例如：
“我们可以在哪里放置植物?”
“每班都可以领一盆吗?”
“植物可以保存多久?”
“需要多少水?”
After lunch, the planting began! Each class found their planter box and plants, and we worked together as a team to fill our planter boxes first with soil, then with our plants. “What type of insect is this?” “I hope it makes a home in our planter box.”
午餐后，开始播种!
每个班级都作为一个团队共同努力：用土壤填充花箱，然后再种下植物。
“这是什么类型的昆虫?”
“我希望它能在我们的花箱里找到家。”
孩子们说道。
In addition to our school-wide planter box activity, different classes also continued their investigation of Earth Day in various ways. Some classes went outside, hunting around the school for different plants, bugs, and other things found in nature. Other classes created Earth Day posters, explaining what we should and shouldn’t do to help and protect our Earth.“For my recycled art, I want to make a recycling bin! If someone litters, I can tell them to throw the trash in the trash can.” “I want to put my Earth Day poster in the kindergarten so that my little brother can learn, too!” “Can I take my bag on the scavenger hunt? If I see trash, I can pick it up!”
除了种植物以外，不同班级还以各种方式继续进行“地球日”的探索。
一些班级在校园里搜寻各种植物、昆虫和其他自然界的东西;另一些班级制作了“地球日”海报，解释了我们应该和不应该做的可以帮助和保护地球的事情。
“我想做一个回收箱，作为我的回收艺术品!如果有人乱扔垃圾，我可以告诉他们把垃圾扔进垃圾桶。”
“我想把世界地球日海报放在幼儿园，这样我的小弟弟也可以学习!” “我可以随身携带袋子吗?如果看到垃圾，可以捡起来!”
DAY 3
The third and final day of our Earth Day event continued with more inquiries and findings. Students queried about how our school can help the planet, “It would be good if we can use recyclable bags to hold our snacks.”
Each class visited our Earth Day mural to read and promise to follow our Earth Day pledge: “I pledge to do my part to protect our Earth, I will Reduce, Reuse and Recycle to make every day Earth Day. I care about our planet today, and I can make a difference for tomorrow.” We signed our names on the mural pledging to protect our Earth today and every day.
第三天，孩子们对如何保护环境继续深入思考：“如果我们可以使用可回收袋来存放餐点，那就太好了。”
每个班级都浏览了地球日留言墙，阅读并遵守地球日誓言：“我尽自己的一份力量保护地球，我将减少使用，重复利用和循环利用，让每一天都成为地球日。今天关心我们的星球，明天就可以有所改变。”
我们在留言墙上郑重签上了自己的名字，每天都保护我们的地球。
Ms. Zoe from the Blue Ribbon Ocean Conservation Association came to talk to us about what amazing things are being done right here in Sanya and what we can do to help. We learned about some of the amazing animals that were rescued near our school, such as sea turtles and porpoises.
We also continued to discuss the importance of our Earth. We put the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle into action by bringing in recyclable items from home and using them to create art. Students brainstormed and formed ideas,"I'll use recycled items to make lost and found boxes at home." "We can reuse things and make many new things."We also performed various science experiments about forms of renewable energy. Students concluded, "It is better to use renewable energy resources as it creates less pollution."
Other students learned more about our local community: the ocean, coral reef, and mangrove forests in Hainan island, and the many animals that call these places their home.
蓝丝带海洋保护协会的周佳瑞(Zoe)女士分享了他们在三亚救助的动物，例如海龟和海豚，并谈及了我们可以提供的帮助。
我们继续讨论了保护地球的重要性，将3Rs(减少使用，重复利用和回收利用)付诸实践，用可回收物品来创造艺术品。
孩子们集思广益：“我将使用回收的物品，做一个失物招领的盒子放在家里”。“我们可以重新利用旧物品，制作很多新的物品。”
同时我们还进行了有关可再生能源的各种科学实验。孩子们得出结论：“使用可再生能源，因为它可减少污染。”
其他学生则进一步了解了当地社区：海南岛的海洋，珊瑚礁和红树林，以及许多以这些地方为家的生物。
As our Earth Day event came to a close, we reflected upon all that we had learned. We have become more aware and informed about our Earth, and our action is just beginning. We know that Earth Day should not only be celebrated from April 21st – 23rd but every day! We can continue to teach others about our planet, and we can continue to care for the Earth and do our part to make our difference for the future.
随着地球日活动的圆满落幕，我们回顾所学到的一切，对地球有了更深入的了解。我们都知道地球日不仅应在4月21日至23日庆祝，每一天都应该是地球日!
我们会继续向其他人介绍地球，继续关心地球，并尽自己的一份力量为未来做出积极改变。
我们的行动才刚刚开始。
