Students ineach class were divided into their house colors for the race. We gathered together in the gym at 1 p.m. where, we carefully listened to the instructions and couldn’t wait to get going!

孩子們根據他們所在的學院分成了紅、黃、藍、綠四組。下午1點時我們集合到體育館，認真聽講今天競賽的流程，我們都迫不及待想要趕緊開始！

After understanding the instructions and schedule, we went to the playground. We sweated a lot in the sunshine! We were crossing obstacles, jumping grids, climbing, and flipping tires. We really enjoyed the varied obstacles. Most importantly, although the whole course was long and challenging, all of us completed the race with the encouragement of our teachers. Thank you for encouraging and supporting us!

當我們了解了規則和流程后，我們來到操場，在明媚下的陽光下揮灑汗水：跨障礙物，跳格子，攀登，滾輪胎等等。我們非常喜歡這些趣味性的運動。更重要的是，盡管整個賽道很長，我們所有人都在老師的鼓勵下跑完了整個賽道。謝謝老師們的鼓勵和支持！

After the obstaclerace, wehada charity market in the gym. Our parents brought some home-made food and accessories to sell. Some of my friends sold books that they used when they were younger. I think selling books is a good thing, first it is environmentally responsible and second it is a transferof knowledge, because all good things should be shared! This was also a fundraising opportunity. All the money raised at the market will be donated to the Suzhou Animal Shelter. And so far, we have raised 6535.3 RMB from the charity market！

競賽結束后，我們在體育館進行了義賣活動。爸爸媽媽們帶了一些自制的食物和飾品。我的一些朋友們還將他們小時候讀過的書拿出來義賣。我認為賣書是一件很有意義的事情，一是很環保，二是因為這是知識的傳承，因為好的東西值得被分享！這同時也是一次義賣的機會，我們義賣所得的善款將捐贈與蘇州市小動物保護志愿者協會。目前，我們已經從義賣活動籌集了6535.3元人民幣！

What we weremost looking forward to wasthe raffle! Raffle prizes included stationery and sports goods provided by parents, bonuses of 10 to 100 house points, extra hours given for recess, and the most attractive one was NO HOMEWORK FOR A WEEK! We were so excited when our house mates were picked house point’s prize and we just couldn’t believe that all the extra recess and no homework prizes went to Grade 3B!! so lucky!

我們最最期待的是抽獎環節。獎品有由家長提供的文具、體育用品等，還有10到100的學院加分、休息時間加時和最吸引我們的一周沒有作業！當我們的學院朋友被幸運抽中時，我們都很興奮。還有我們最難以置信的是，休息時間加時和減免作業最后都被3B班的同學們抽中了！！太幸運了！

Finally, Mr. Ashley announced the ranking of the relay race. Congratulations to the Yellow House winning first place, withthe fastest group being Grade 4 Yellow House - 5min 38 seconds, hooray! Great thanks to all of our lovely teachers and parents! And well done Elementary School!
