学习阅读本质上是一种学习行为。在成都青苗学校，为了孩子们能学到能熟练运用阅读与拼读英语语言的技巧，我们将介绍合成自然拼读项目“字母与发音”。
Learning to read is essentially learning a code. Here at BIBS Chengdu we are introducing the synthetics phonics program “Letters and Sounds” so that we can teach the skills required for students to successfully read and spell in the English language.

In addition to the past 8 years of leadership experience as a Deputy Principal I have also supported schools to take the necessary steps to strengthen teaching practices in my role as a District Curriculum Consultant. As a school leader my priority is to play a major and effective role in creating successful students.
My experience in these recent roles, in addition to my successful teaching experience, has further developed my understanding of the importance of leadership that builds a culture that is driven by high expectations for teaching and learning, systematic whole-school approaches that focus on improvements to instruction, reflective collaboration, data and research base decision- making underpinned by positive environment and relationships.

寻根溯源，让小朋友们了解中国传统文化。秋分节及中秋节是怎么来的？有些什么历史故事？有些什么习俗？通过这次活动会让小朋友们加深对中国传统节日的认识，通过游戏和自己动手制作来体验传统节日中蕴含的意义。
“Make the egg stand” is a well-known traditional game during Qiu Fen. We are going to choose a fresh egg and carefully try to make it stand. It seems a little bit hard, but there’s always someone who can make it.
“秋分到，蛋儿俏”，据史料记载，在4000年前，中国就有了在“秋分”这天“竖蛋”的传统，很多地方都要在这天举行“竖蛋”的趣味游戏或比赛。玩法简单容易操作且富有趣味。
When it’s Qiu Fen, people usually give out Qiu Niu to their friends and neighbors. The traditional way of making it is to use red or yellow paper and paint solar terms on it.
秋分到来之际，有些地方有挨家挨户送秋牛图的习俗。是把红纸或黄纸印上全年农历节气，还要印上农夫耕田图样，名曰：“秋牛图”。
There are a lot of activities that we do during Moon Cake Festival. One of them is to make lanterns. Chinese mythology says that the skin of oranges and tangerines can keep out the bad luck.
中秋节,有许多游戏活动,首先是玩花灯。传说橘子、柚子皮的味道可以驱邪避凶,给人带来好运。
Eating moon cakes is a “must-do” for Moon Cake festival. Many kids might have eaten moon cakes, but they don’t know how to make them. We are going to teach the kids how to make “Snowy Mooncake”. Let’s find out this secret recipe at the activity!
吃月饼是中秋节的重头戏之一。这次活动我们会让小朋友来体会做月饼的乐趣。
We are looking forward to having you to join us!
我们期待您和孩子的参与！
Smart technologies sector is developing rapidly in both China and South-East Asia, thus offering many promising opportunities for European SMES. IP however, is a critical consideration for European SMEs that come to China and South-East Asian, wishing to tap into the market potential for business growth, or the talent pool for technology development. When engaging in R&D in China or South-East Asia, new IP is being created, the rights to which need to be clearly defined from the outset to avoid disagreements later on. Similarly, when SMEs are bringing new technology to China and South-East Asia, it is definitely smart to consider all means to protect their valuable IP.
Join the China and South-East Asia IPR SME Helpdesk expert Mr. Philippe Girard-Foley on Wednesday, 27 September 2017 for a webinar: “Getting Smart on IP: How to Protect your IP in China and South-East Asia in the smart technologies sector” This webinar will give European SMEs an overview of IP protection tools in China and South-East Asia. The experts will provide real life case studies involving European SMEs experiencing and overcoming IP issues in the smart technologies sector. The experts will focus on the following topics:
- What types of IP rights are relevant to smart technologies sector?
- Why and How should European SMEs protect these IP rights?
- What could SMEs do in case of an infringement?
- Expert tips on how to draft a comprehensive IP strategy in both regions.
- Case studies.
This is a free of charge 45-minute web-based presentation, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session on Wednesday, 27 September 2017 at 10:00 Brussels time (15:00 Ho Chi Minh time /16:00 Beijing time). Get valuable insights from our expert, and ask questions live throughout the webinar!
