As the final drumbeat echoed through the theatre and the last willow leaf was tucked into a bookmark, the 2025 Hangzhou Wahaha Schools Winter Show, themed “IDENTITY: The Mosaic of Us,” came to a successful conclusion.

On this sunny winter day, we didn’t just see a series of performances; we witnessed every student’s sincere exploration of the simple yet eternal question: “Who am I?”

Though the curtains have fallen, those moments of discovery, creativity, and love continue to resonate throughout the campus.

“In that moment,

we heard the voices from the bottom of each other’s hearts.”

The grand celebration opened with a powerful chorus from the entire school. As the melody of This Is Me filled the atrium, it was more than just a magnificent performance by a thousand voices; it was an emotional resonance that touched everyone’s soul.

The tears and laughter flowing through the crowd perfectly illustrated the warm essence of the WIS family—here, every “I” is seen, and every “I” matters.

The MYP Winter Show took parents on “A Day in The Life” of a student, focusing on gaining independence, building confidence, and fostering agency.

In a lesson titled “Willow’s Identity,” the CAL and CLL students acted as cultural detectives, tracing the symbolic meaning of “willows” in ancient poetry to understand how cultural symbols shape our collective and individual identities.

MYP English Class pulled back the curtain on the “Power of Persuasion.” Grade 8 students analyzed how professional media uses language, imagery, and color in advertising to influence audience perception and self-identity.

The Grade 6 students explored the world of “Probability and Identity.” By collecting and comparing theoretical and experimental data through probability, they collaboratively created “Mosaic of Us,” proving that individual randomness contributes to a structured collective whole.

Through hands-on discoveries of “Sound, Wave and Light,” the Grade 7 students showcased how light and sound carry energy through different mediums. They drew parallels between the unique physical properties of waves and our own unique individual identities.

Grade 9 students challenged visitors to consider the duality of progress: “Has industrialization been more positive or more negative for humans and the Earth?” By evaluating diverse historical sources and multiple perspectives, students demonstrated their ability to navigate complex global issues with a critical mind.

The debate session was the highlight of the MYP showcase. In the Chinese debate, debaters engaged in a heated battle of wits regarding the factors that shape personal identity. In the English debate, students demonstrated rigorous logical construction under pressure. Parents stepped up as eager challengers, making the debate a vibrant intellectual exchange. Students and parents shared perspectives, sparred thoughtfully, and seamlessly pivoted between defense and attack. This vividly embodied the goal of becoming “critical thinkers.”

Coordinated by the Grade 5 Talk Show team, the PYP segments told the story of identity through various media styles.

As the show’s “soul threaders”, Grade 5 students hosted the Winter Show in various roles including talk show hosts, news broadcasters, and vlog narrators. Finally, they took the stage collectively and declared with spirited vigor: “This is who we are, and we are defining the future!”

Dressed in traditional attire from China, France, Italy, and India, our little “diplomats” showcased various cultural and heritage backgrounds of our community. They reminded us that identity begins at home and extends to the wide world.

The stage became a vibrant “Emotion Rainbow.” Through expressive dances, students showed that every feeling—anger, sadness, or joy—is a part of our true self and a superpower for connection.

In this powerful performance, the mosaic background evolved from a single tile into a brilliant pattern. With LED ribbons, drums, and future-themed shields, students explored who they were, are, and will become.

Through vivid sound experiments, students captured identity memories—from morning alarms to laughter on campus—showing that identity lives in the everyday echoes of our lives.

The event concluded with parents and students adding feathers of reflection to our WIS Goose. These messages represent the Wings of Growth, carrying our evolving identities toward a bright future.

Happy Winter Show 2025!

We are who we are!

当最后一声鼓点在剧院回荡，当最后一片“柳叶”被夹进书签，2025年杭州娃哈哈学校冬季秀“IDENTITY：致每一个闪耀的我们”圆满画上了句号。

在这个寒冷的冬日，我们不只看到了一场表演，更见证了每一位学子对“我是谁？”——这个简单却永恒的问题最真挚的探寻。

幕布虽已落下，

但那些关于探索、

关于创造、

关于爱的瞬间，

依然在校园里回响。

“那一刻，我们听到了彼此心底的声音。”

盛典在全校师生大合唱的宏大声浪中拉开序幕。当《This is me》的旋律响彻中庭，那不仅仅是千人同唱的震撼，更是一种直抵人心的情感共振。

现场涌动的热泪与欢笑，完美诠释了娃哈哈大家庭的温暖底色——在这里，每一个“我”都被看见，每一个“我”都至关重要。

MYP冬季秀带领家长们亲身体验了中学部学生的“一日生活”，集中展示了学生独立性的培养、自信心的建立以及自主性的激发。

在“柳的前世今生”课堂中，学生化身文化侦探，追溯古诗词中“柳”的意象，探究文化符号如何塑造我们的集体与个人身份认知。

MYP英语课揭示了“说服的力量”。学生们通过分析广告中文字、图像与色彩的巧妙运用，直观感受媒体如何通过视觉与语言元素影响受众的自我感知。

学生们探索了“概率与身份”的世界。通过掷骰子实验收集并对比理论与实际数据，合作完成了一幅“数字身份马赛克”，证明了每一个随机的个体选择如何构成有序的集体。

在“声波和光波”探索中，学生们亲手实验，理解光波与声波如何通过不同介质传递能量，并感悟这些独特的物理特质，正如同我们每个人独一无二的身份。

九年级学生们邀请参与者共同思考：“工业化对人类和地球的影响利弊几何？”通过研读多元化的史料文献，学生们展示了从不同视角审视复杂全球议题的批判性思维能力。

辩论环节是MYP冬季秀的压轴环节。在中文辩论中，辩手们就个人身份的形成原因进行激烈的唇枪舌战；而在英文辩论现场，学生们在压力下展示了严密的逻辑构建能力。家长们踊跃化身挑战者，让这场辩论成为一场精彩纷呈的思想交锋。师生与家长各抒己见、理性切磋，攻防转换行云流水，以清晰的论证捍卫自身观点，生动诠释了 “批判性思考者” 的培养目标。

在五年级脱口秀团队的精彩串联下，PYP各年级以多元媒体形式诠释了“身份”的故事：

作为全场“灵魂串联者”，五年级学生用脱口秀、新闻主持人、纪录片解说等多种方式主持冬季秀。最后他们集体登台，以昂扬的姿态宣示：“这就是我们，我们正在定义未来！”

小小“外交官”们身着各国传统服饰，带我们走进中、法、意、印的欢庆时刻。孩子们在动人的歌声中明白：身份的起点是家庭，而终点是广阔的世界。

舞台化作跃动的“情绪彩虹”。孩子们用舞蹈告诉我们：每一种情绪都是真实的自我。接纳自己与他人的情绪，是建立身份连接的超能力。

这是全场最华彩的篇章。舞台背景从一块孤独的瓷砖汇聚成璀璨图案。女生挥舞LED丝带，男生击响大鼓并展示象征未来的盾牌，完美诠释了身份构建的复杂与美丽。

学生们用极具生活气息的声音实验，捕捉了日常中的身份记忆。他们展示了身份不仅是所见所想，更是那些融入血脉的日常回响。

活动最后，家长与学生共同在“羽毛”上写下反思感言，并将其贴在WIS大雁吉祥物上。这些羽毛构成了“成长之翼”，承载着我们不断进化的身份，飞向未来。

最后，祝愿所有WIS社区成员新年快乐，

祝愿大家都能找到自己的热爱，

眼里有光，一往无前！
