December is a very festive time of the year. We have Christmas celebrations, New year celebrations and Chinese Spring break holiday. Every year, each department in the school puts on a show for the parents to celebrate one of these events. This year the primary school celebrated the festival of Snow and the Kindergarten department celebrated winter with a Chinese New Year twist.

十二月是一年中最喜庆的时光。我们有圣诞节庆祝活动，新年庆祝活动还即将迎来春节假期。每年，学校的每个部门都会为家长们举办一场场表演来庆祝这些节日。今年，小学演出了《雪的记忆》，幼儿园用各国的冬季节日来庆祝了冬季盛典。

The IB department collaborated with the primary school to create an absolutely amazing and inspiring show. The IB department invited the foreign teachers of the kindergarten to perform on stage together with all the teachers from the IB department. Being the most outgoing bunch of teachers in the school, the foreign specialist team of the kindergarten was very excited to perform alongside the IB department teachers in their winter celebration show.

而IB部门则别出心裁与其他各部门合作，创造了一场令人惊叹又鼓舞人心的演出。IB部邀请幼儿园老师与IB部全体老师一起登台表演。作为学校里最外向的一群老师，幼儿园的教师团队与IB部的老师们一起在冬季的庆祝活动中表演，大家对于这样的合作非常兴奋。

The two departments had troubles finding the time to rehearse where everyone would be available but they made a plan anyway. The IB team was led by Michael while the kindergarten team was led by Jordan. Mr Brian was in charge of the entire performance and he composed music and allocated the instruments to everyone. The whole team participated in the choreography and the rehearsals started producing sounds worth listening to instead of noise.

两个部门的排练很难凑到每个人都有空的时间，所以他们制定了一个计划。IB团队由Michael带领，幼儿园团队由Jordan带领。Brian负责整个演出，他作曲并给每个人分配乐器，整个团队都参与了编舞，排练逐渐渐入佳境，美妙的音乐汩汩而出。

In the end the performance was a great success. Everyone involved and everyone watching was very happy. The collaboration efforts between the IB and kindergarten department was inspiring. This performance opened a new door of possibilities as to what is possible when teachers come together as a team.

最后演出非常成功，参与其中的每个人以及观众都非常高兴，IB与幼儿园部门的合作是这么令人鼓舞。这场表演开启了一扇新的可能性之门，即当教师们团结起来时，没有什么是不可能的。
