In the second year of our Sister School Program, our sixth graders filmed their graduation trip and set it to a song they had practiced for almost a whole year — then sent it all the way to Israel.
姐妹校計畫邁入第二年，六年級的孩子把畢業旅行拍成影片，配上練了將近一年的歌，寄到了遙遠的以色列。
Children of the World · an English song woven with two Taiwanese Hokkien folk songs, Tiam-a-ka and Se-pak-hoo
〈Children of the World〉・一首英文歌與兩首閩南語歌謠〈點仔膠〉〈西北雨〉的組曲
KangLang's Ministry of Education Sister School Program has reached its second year. Alongside many live video calls, our sixth graders made a student-centered film about their graduation trip to share with a partner school in Israel. A film like this lets us share our school life and, at the same time, slip past the problem of time-zone differences.
槺榔國小執行教育部姐妹校計畫已邁入第二年。除了多場線上交流，六年級的孩子以畢業旅行為主題，錄製了一支以學生為主角的影片，分享給以色列的學校。這樣的影片不只能分享校園生活，也巧妙地化解了國際交流的時差問題。
The music deserves a special mention. For nearly a whole year, our fifth and sixth graders practiced the soundtrack — learning the English lyrics word by word and rehearsing line by line.
影片的配樂特別值得一提。為了這首歌，槺榔五、六年級的孩子練習了將近一整年，從英文歌詞逐字學起，一句一句反覆練唱。
The result is a medley that weaves the English song Children of the World together with two beloved Taiwanese Hokkien folk songs, Tiam-a-ka and Se-pak-hoo. Press play and listen along.
成果是一首組曲，把英文歌〈Children of the World〉與兩首動人的閩南語歌謠〈點仔膠〉〈西北雨〉交織在一起。按下播放，一起聆聽吧。
