六月的天，如娃娃的脸，不是烈日就是暴雨，让人不得不走走停停，频频回望；六月，原不是一个适合说再见的季节，可毕业的脚步从每个人的心头走过，如此匆匆。又是一年毕业季，又有一群孩子将告别小学生活，展翅翱翔。为了让孩子们感受到母校对他们成长的重视与关爱，为了给孩子们的小学生涯画上一个完美而又难忘的句点，我校于6月22日下午，隆重举行了小学五年级毕业典礼。

It is either hot or stormy in June, just like the expression on children’s faces, either a pleased look or a sad look. Our students frequently look back on the days in the past five years. June is not a good time to say goodbye, but the graduation day approaches at a fast pace. In this graduation season, a group of students will bid farewell to their primary school life and show their talents. VKBS held agrand graduation ceremony of Grade 5 on the afternoon of June 22 to show our attention and care for students’ growth and put a perfect and unforgettable end to their primary school life.

典礼伊始，滚动播放的视频，让我们再一次回到了与这群孩子相遇的那刻。遥想当年，他们还只是一个个小花苞，等待着园丁的哺育，而五年一晃而过，他们已经成为了一群有思想有主见的少年！时光蹁跹里，拔节的不仅是身高，更是心灵的成长。这一幕幕的过往，也让现场的老师和家长们都感慨万千：原来长大真的只是在不经意间。

At the beginning of the ceremony, the looped video allowed us to travel back to the moment when we met these children. Back then, they were just like small buds, waiting for the gardeners’ cultivation. Five years later, they have become thoughtful and independent teenagers! As time goes by, these children not only grow taller but also get mature. Teachers and parents present were filled with emotion that came with the scenes in the video and realized that children grow up fast before you know it. 

今天，孩子们毕业了！而辛勤哺育他们的老师和家长也有千言万语要说：程敏校长和外方学术副校长Ms.C 站在母校的角度，分别以自己的方式对我们的莘莘学子送上了寄语和祝福；日日陪伴孩子成长的中外方班主任也以一颗真心，用只言片语传递着对孩子的不舍和期望；五（2）班虞悠尤的爸爸也作为学生家长的代表，表达了自己的观点，或许，他充满深度和智慧的演讲也会为孩子的心灵点燃一枚火种。

Today, our students have graduated! The teachers and parents who have worked hard to educate them have thousands of words to say. From the perspective of VKBS, Principal Cheng Min and foreign principal Ms. C have sent messages and blessings to our students in their ownway. The Chinese and foreign head teachers who accompanied the children in their growth every day also conveyed their reluctance to separate and their expectationsfor students with sincere hearts and a few words. Besides, Yu Youyou’s father expressed his views as a parent representative of Grade 5（2）. His speechfull of profundity and wisdom may also enlighten the children.

五年的学习，让孩子们破茧成蝶。五（3）班的陆雅庭和五（5）班的吕伯泰作为学生代表发言，为五年的学习交上了一份答卷；而笛子演奏《新世界交响曲》也让我们感受到了艺术在孩子身上的浸润。

Five years of study enable our students to break the “cocoon” into a “butterfly”. Lu Yating of Grade 5（3） and Lyu Botai of Grade 5（5） spoke as student representatives and summarized their five-year study. We also saw the art nurturance for the children from theflute playing “New World Symphony”.

典礼的最后，校领导为各班依次颁发了小学毕业证书。站在台上，捧着鲜花和毕业证的孩子们，是那么的耀眼夺目，是那么的神采飞扬，也是那样的未来可期。虽然他们的小学生涯从这一刻落下了帷幕，但是他们的未来在这一刻才刚刚扬帆起航。未来的他们，无论身在何方，永远会是VKBS的骄傲！

At the end of the ceremony, the school leaders presented graduation certificates of primary school to each class in turn. Standing on the stage, holding flowers and graduation certificates, ourstudents were so dazzling, energetic and promising. Although their primaryschool life has come to an end, their future life has just got started at this moment. In the future, they will always be the pride of VKBS no matter where they are!

石榴坐在六月的枝头，收起五月的芬芳争妍，在骄阳下用流光溢彩编织着膨胀饱满的梦想。六月，在这里挥手说再见，不是为了那些永不回来的年少岁月，而是为了能在下一个九月，再一次相见！

Pomegranates vie with each other for glamour in May while they bear completely filled fruit under the scorching sun in June.I am here to say “see you” in June, not for the good times never coming back,but for our meeting again in September!
