槺榔國小執行教育部姊妹校計畫已經步入第二年，除了進行多場的線上交流，我們六年級校朋友以畢業旅行作為主題，錄製了影片與以色列的學校分享。以主體式的影片方式呈現，不只能和國外學校分享我們的校園生活點滴，也能消彌國際交流時時差的限制。

值得一提的是，為了這兩部影片的配樂，槺榔國小五、六年級的小朋友可是練習了將近一整年的時間，從英文歌詞逐字學習到句句的練唱，可是耗足了心力。我們將這兩部影片分別

歡迎大家一起來聆聽這首「Children of the world」和兩首在地閩南語的歌謠「點仔膠」和「西北雨」所結合而成的組曲。

Kanglang Elementary School has entered the second year of its Ministry of Education Sister School Program.

In addition to several online exchange activities, our sixth-grade students created a video themed around their graduation trip to share with a partner school in Israel. By presenting their experiences through a student-centered video, we not only shared moments from our school life but also overcame the challenge of time zone differences in international exchanges.

It is worth mentioning that for the background music of these videos, our fifth- and sixth-grade students practiced for nearly an entire year. They learned the English lyrics word by word and rehearsed each line with great dedication and effort.

We invite everyone to enjoy the medley that combines the English song “Children of the World” with two local Taiwanese folk songs, “Tiam-á-ka” and “Se-pak-hōo”.

今天是槺榔國小六年乙班非常特別的一天，我們參加了一場與以色列學校的線上國際交流活動，主題是「瀕臨絕種的動物」。透過這次活動，我們有機會向遠在以色列的小朋友介紹台灣特有且珍貴的動物，包括台灣黑熊、草鴞、石虎以及台灣穿山甲。我們用簡單的英文和圖片向他們介紹這些動物的特徵、棲息環境，以及為什麼牠們會面臨滅絕的危機。

以色列的小朋友也準備得非常用心，他們介紹了他們國家正在保育的瀕危動物，包括條紋鬣狗（Striped Hyena）、小紅隼（Lesser Kestrel）、禿鷲（Griffon Vulture）、阿拉伯羚羊（Arabian Oryx）以及海龜（Sea Turtle）。這些動物我們以前從來沒聽過，覺得非常新奇，也激發了我們對自然生態的好奇心。

透過這次的線上交流，我們不僅學到了許多英文單字與表達方式，更重要的是，我們了解到保育動物是一個全世界共同的責任。我們很高興能參與這樣有意義的國際活動，希望未來還有機會再次與以色列的小朋友合作與交流！

Today was a very special day for Class 602 of Kanglang Elementary School.

We participated in an online international exchange activity with a school in Israel. The theme of the event was “Endangered Animals.” Through this activity, we had the opportunity to introduce our friends in Israel to some of Taiwan’s unique and precious animals, including the Formosan Black Bear, Grass Owl, Leopard Cat, and Taiwan Pangolin. Using simple English and pictures, we explained their characteristics, habitats, and the reasons why they are endangered.

The students from Israel were also very well-prepared. They introduced several endangered animals being protected in their country, such as the Striped Hyena, Lesser Kestrel, Griffon Vulture, Arabian Oryx, and Sea Turtle. Many of these animals were new to us, and we found them fascinating. Their presentations sparked our curiosity about wildlife and nature conservation.

Through this online exchange, we not only learned many new English words and expressions, but more importantly, we realized that protecting endangered animals is a shared responsibility for everyone around the world. We are grateful for this meaningful international learning experience and hope to have more opportunities to collaborate and connect with our friends in Israel again in the future!

槺榔國小執行教育部姊妹校計畫已經步入第二年，除了進行多場的線上交流，我們五年級的小朋友以運動會及鄉野踏查為主題，錄製了影片與印度學校分享。以主體式的影片方式呈現，不只能和國外學校分享我們的校園生活點滴，也能消彌國際交流時時差的限制。

值得一提的是，為了這兩部影片的配樂，槺榔國小五、六年級的小朋友可是練習了將近一整年的時間，從英文歌詞逐字學習到句句的練唱，可是耗足了心力。歡迎大家一起來聆聽這首「Children of the world」和兩首在地閩南語的歌謠「點仔膠」和「西北雨」所結合而成的組曲。

Kanglang Elementary School has entered the second year of its Ministry of Education Sister School Program.

In addition to several online exchange activities, our fifth graders created two themed videos — one about our school’s sports day and another about our local field exploration — to share with our partner school in India. By using a student-centered video format, we not only showcased our daily school life but also overcame the challenge of time zone differences in international exchanges.

It is worth mentioning that for the background music of these two videos, our fifth- and sixth-grade students practiced for nearly a whole year. They learned the English lyrics word by word and rehearsed the songs line by line with great dedication. We invite everyone to enjoy the medley that combines the English song “Children of the World” with two local Taiwanese folk songs, “Tiam-á-ka” and “Se-pak-hōo”.

槺榔國小五年乙班的學生，參加了與印度學校的第二次線上文化交流活動。這次活動讓我們有機會再次與印度的同學認識彼此的文化，大家都感到非常興奮與期待。

在交流中，印度同學介紹了許多當地的街頭小吃，例如 Aloo Tikki、Kachori、Bhelpuri、Samosa 和 Gol Gappa，每一道聽起來都令人垂涎三尺。我們也學到了他們喜愛的傳統遊戲，包括 Kho Kho、Gilli Danda、Kabaddi 和 Top，這些遊戲都非常新奇有趣。

另外，我們還了解了印度的節慶文化。他們用彩粉慶祝的 Holi 節非常繽紛熱鬧，還有畫在手上的 Mehndi、節慶中使用的 diya 油燈，以及用米粉和彩沙創作的 Rangoli 圖案，讓我們覺得非常特別。我們也看到印度的各式貨幣設計，十分具有地方特色。

這次交流中最讓人開心的是我們準備的熱舞表演。當同學賣力地跳舞時，螢幕另一頭的印度同學看得笑呵呵，讓我們覺得既開心又有成就感。

透過這次活動，我們不但學習到印度的文化，也體會到交流的樂趣。希望未來還有機會參加更多這樣的活動，讓我們認識更多來自世界各地的朋友。

The students of Class 5B at Kang Lang Elementary School participated in their second online cultural exchange with a school in India. This event gave us another wonderful opportunity to learn more about each other’s cultures, and everyone was filled with excitement and anticipation.

During the exchange, the Indian students introduced a variety of local street foods, such as Aloo Tikki, Kachori, Bhelpuri, Samosa, and Gol Gappa—each one sounded absolutely delicious! We also learned about their favorite traditional games, including Kho Kho, Gilli Danda, Kabaddi, and Top, which all seemed fascinating and fun to play.

In addition, we explored Indian festivals and traditions. The colorful Holi Festival, where people celebrate with bright powders, was especially eye-catching. We also learned about Mehndi (beautiful hand art), diya oil lamps used in celebrations, and Rangoli—vibrant designs made with rice flour and colored sand. The Indian currency designs we saw were also full of local character and charm.

One of the happiest moments was our dance performance. As our classmates danced energetically, we could see the Indian students smiling and laughing on the screen, which made us feel both joyful and proud.

Through this exchange, we not only learned about Indian culture but also experienced the true joy of cultural connection. We hope to have more chances in the future to join similar activities and make friends from all around the world.

槺榔國小五年甲班的學生與印度ASN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL學校進行了第二次線上文化交流活動。這次雙方互相介紹彼此的文化特色，我們將全班分成五組，分別介紹台灣的零食、玩具、文物、貨幣以及節慶。印度同學則分享了當地流行的「五顆石頭遊戲」（5 stone game）、著名的齋浦爾藍陶（blue pottery of Jaipur）、以及街頭小吃如aloo chaat和kachori。交流過程中最令人印象深刻的是，一位印度小女生穿著傳統服飾，優雅地表演了印度舞蹈，展現了濃厚的民族風情。這次活動不僅讓我們更了解印度文化，也讓我們有機會向國外朋友介紹台灣，是一次豐富又有趣的學習經驗。 

The students of Class 5A at Kang Lang Elementary School had their second online cultural exchange with ASN Senior Secondary School in India.

During this session, both sides introduced their unique cultural features. Our class was divided into five groups to present different aspects of Taiwan, including snacks, toys, cultural artifacts, currency, and festivals.

The Indian students, in turn, shared about the traditional “Five Stones Game,” the famous blue pottery of Jaipur, and popular street foods such as aloo chaat and kachori.

One of the most memorable moments was when an Indian girl, dressed in traditional attire, gracefully performed an Indian dance, beautifully showcasing her country’s cultural charm.

This activity not only deepened our understanding of Indian culture but also gave us the opportunity to introduce Taiwan to our international friends—a truly enriching and enjoyable learning experience.

上學期寄出的明信片，終於收到回音囉！槺榔國小六年級的小朋友懷著興奮的心情，打開遠從西班牙寄來的信件。信中除了整齊書寫的英文，還有雅緻的手繪插圖、精巧的手工編織手環，以及來自西班牙的糖果，讓人驚喜連連。面對一大串看不懂的英文，同學們並不氣餒，反而主動討論、彼此幫忙，一起破解信件的內容。透過這段跨國交流的經驗，孩子們不只感受到文化的多樣性，也在學習中發現語言的樂趣與團隊合作的力量。 

The postcards we sent last semester have finally received a reply!

The sixth graders at Kang Lang Elementary School opened the long-awaited letters from Spain with great excitement. Inside, they found neatly written English messages, elegant hand-drawn illustrations, beautifully woven friendship bracelets, and even some Spanish candies—what delightful surprises!

Although the letters were filled with English words that were not easy to understand, the students didn’t give up. Instead, they eagerly discussed, helped one another, and worked together to figure out the meanings.

Through this cross-cultural exchange, the children not only experienced the richness of different cultures but also discovered the joy of learning languages and the power of teamwork.

槺榔國小六乙收到了來自以色列的文化箱，箱子裡有一罐橄欖，這些橄欖有著鹹鹹酸酸的味道，我們淺嚐一口，它的味道真的很特別；還有一包Bamba零食，它是一款以花生口味的玉米製品點心；一副經典的桌遊—蛇梯棋，是以色列人朋友間增進感情的互動遊戲。

而箱子裡最特殊的物品，就是一個個代表Shabbat（安息日）的杯子。Shabbat是以色列文化中重要的宗教傳統，這個杯子象徵著安息日的祝福與團聚。

這些來自以色列的禮物，讓我更深入地了解了這個國家的文化和傳統。

Class 6B at Kang Lang Elementary School received a cultural exchange box from Israel!

Inside the box was a jar of olives—salty and slightly sour in taste. We tried a little, and the flavor was truly unique! There was also a bag of Bamba, a popular Israeli corn snack with a rich peanut flavor, and a classic board game, Snakes and Ladders, which Israeli friends often play to strengthen their friendships.

The most special items in the box were the cups representing Shabbat, the Jewish Sabbath. Shabbat is an important religious tradition in Israeli culture, and the cup symbolizes the blessings and togetherness of this sacred day.

These wonderful gifts from Israel helped us gain a deeper understanding of the country’s culture and traditions.

槺榔國小五乙的學生與日本琦玉縣志木市宗岡第三國小的學生，進行了一場精彩的線上交流活動。活動開始時，我們先與對方學生進行了簡單的問候，並為他們介紹了我們美麗的學校環境。在彼此熟悉後，大家進入了更為深入的分組交流活動。

在交流過程中，槺榔國小的學生向日本的小朋友介紹了台灣的原住民文化、台灣特有動物、台灣的國寶以及台灣的美食文化和景點。

而日本的小朋友則向我們介紹了他們的學校生活和校園活動。他們分享了運動會、歌唱比賽等活動，這些分享動讓我們感受到了他們的學校文化，也讓我們看到了不同國家的學校氛圍。

At the beginning of the activity, both sides exchanged greetings, and our students introduced the beautiful campus of Kang Lang Elementary School. After getting to know each other, we moved on to more in-depth group discussions.

During the exchange, Kang Lang students introduced Taiwan’s Indigenous cultures, unique animals, national treasures, as well as Taiwanese cuisine and tourist attractions. In return, the Japanese students shared about their school life and campus activities, including their sports festival and singing contest.

Their sharing allowed us to experience the warmth of Japanese school culture and appreciate the different learning atmospheres between our two countries.

During the activity, we first greeted our Japanese friends and introduced Kang Lang Elementary School—a small yet beautiful school in Taiwan.

Then, the students from both sides were divided into five groups to take turns introducing the special features of their own countries. Kang Lang students presented Taiwan’s famous landmarks, unique plants and animals, historical figures, traditional foods, and the New Taiwan Dollar. In return, the Japanese students introduced their school, local snacks, and distinctive cultural traditions.

At the end of the session, we took a group photo together, capturing the joyful and meaningful moments of this wonderful Taiwan–Japan exchange.

雖然我們來自不同的文化背景，但大家使用英語進行溝通，讓交流更加順利。線上交流雖然結束後，但活動並未結束，槺榔國小的學生將會把介紹過的台灣物品寄送到以色列，而以色列的小朋友也會將他們介紹的物品寄到台灣。我們期待著收到來自以色列的文化分享箱，這將是一次難忘的文化交流經歷。

During the activity, Kang Lang students introduced various features of Taiwan, including traditional snacks, folk toys, cultural items, and the different denominations of the New Taiwan Dollar. The Israeli students, in turn, shared their own cultural items under the same themes.

Although we come from different cultural backgrounds, everyone communicated in English, making the exchange smooth and enjoyable.

While the online meeting has ended, the exchange continues—Kang Lang students will send the Taiwanese items they introduced to Israel, and the Israeli students will send their cultural items to Taiwan. We eagerly look forward to receiving the cultural exchange box from Israel—an experience that will surely become a memorable part of our international learning journey.

The students from Class 602 of Kanglang Elementary School had an online exchange with students from Ofek–Giat Zeev School in Israel. After warming up with self-introductions during our first meeting, the Israeli students gave us a detailed introduction to Israel’s food, schools, language, capital city, inventions, famous people, and singers. Through their sharing, we learned a great deal about Israeli culture. In return, we performed a Christmas song on the alto recorder — something we learned in our music class — bringing joy, love, and peace across the globe in the festive Christmas spirit. 

槺榔國小六甲的小朋友與以色列bet hinuch shimon peres-rosh haain這所學校進行線上交流。這是雙方第一次見面，不能免俗的每個人都先來一段自我介紹當作暖身。自我介紹之後的高潮，就是我們互相當小老師，教導對方自己的語言。我們教他們如何用中文說一些日常生活長用語，以色列的小朋友們則向我們介紹如何用希伯來文說日常生活用語。最後我們還用了一個精美的簡報向以色列的小朋友介紹槺榔國小這一所小而美的學校。 

Students from Kanglang Elementary School in 601 had an online exchange with students from Bet Hinuch Shimon Peres–Rosh HaAyin in Israel.

We taught them how to say some common daily expressions in Chinese, while the Israeli students showed us how to say everyday phrases in Hebrew. Finally, we wrapped up the exchange by giving a beautiful presentation to introduce our small but charming school, Kanglang Elementary.

雙方的學生相見歡，進行自我介紹，兩校的學生輪流介紹自己給對方認識，互動式的對話方式，讓孩子有機會將所學到的英語句子派上用場。為了今天的雙方交流，學生們練習已久，每一個句子仔細地一而再再而三地複習練講，就是要將最好的表現呈現在對方學生眼前。在場參與交流活動的學生每個人都摩拳擦掌，興奮極了。這不僅僅是是一次的過際交流視訊課程，更是學生跨國互動的真實體驗，學生直呼好有成就感。

After months of preparation, our long-awaited international exchange activity with an elementary school in India finally took place today! Students from both schools greeted each other warmly and took turns introducing themselves. Through interactive conversations, our children had the perfect opportunity to put their English learning into real practice. To get ready for this special day, our students had practiced for weeks—repeating each sentence over and over, carefully refining their pronunciation and expression—just to present their very best to their new friends. The atmosphere during the exchange was filled with excitement and energy; everyone was eager to participate and share. This was more than just an online class—it was a meaningful and authentic cross-cultural experience. Many students said they felt a strong sense of achievement after the session.
