G5-6

All the fifth and sixth graders participated in an unannouncedfire drill on Tuesday, February 26th.A fire emergency can happen any moment. To best protect all the students, teachers, and janitors from an interior fire, school has an effective fire safety plan set in place every semester. A clearly marked escape route that was as short and direct as possible was held in every single classroom. Students were supposed to know about the routes at the very beginning of the new semester.

The 5th and 6th graders took the fire drill seriously. They lined up immediately at the door when the fire alarms went off. All of them arrived at the designated safety location quickly and calmly with towels covering their noses. The fire drill monitors raised up the green class cards, which showed everybody was safe.

Even though they were drills, they were very important because through practice, students learned what to do and how to behave in an emergency.

本周二，五六年級全體師生按慣例在開學進行了防火逃生演習。

火災危險隨時可能發生，無論是對于教職員工還是學生，最好的防護辦法是設置安全教育計劃，定時進項教育和演練。每個教室都張貼了明確的逃生線路圖。演習的警報響起時，全體五六年級學生整齊有序在教室門口排好隊伍，迅速撤離教學樓到達指定集合點。當每個班級負責點名的同學舉起綠色的班級名牌，標志著一次演習的順利完成。

平時普及安全教育，在緊急情況出現時，才能臨危不亂，鎮定應對。這就是逃生演習的價值所在。

G7-8

Meanwhile, the fire drill was held to help students of 7th and 8th grade become more aware of the dangers of a real fire. The students were able to understand the precautions to preventing a fire, and overall the best strategies to avoid being harmed. None of the students panicked when the fire alarm rang, instead they quickly ran to the door and lined up neatly. When the teachers opened the doors, the students moved swiftly towards the stairs and followed one after another down to the first floor. Despite the hallways being crowded, the groups of people were efficient in giving way to others who were in front of or next to them.

When the students exited the building, they remained in their lines and walked with their teachers to the tracks. Prearranged lines and positions allowed classes to quickly find their place to await the directors’ command to return to the building. The students returned shortly to the building to continue their classes and reflect on whether their behavior was acceptable in an urgent situation. The fire drill was over, and students learned more than just engagements with fire, but also the capability to remain calm in dangerous instances. The fire drill was a success, and students of SHSID have proven themselves exceptional in dealing with tough and life-threatening problems.

2月26日下午第一節課，國際部七、八年級舉行了一場突擊式的消防演習，以幫助學生了解火災的危險以及掌握逃生的技能。當火警響起時，學生們迅速排隊離開教室并走向樓梯，盡管走廊里擠滿了學生，但他們依然保持了良好的秩序并快速離開了教學樓。當學生們離開教學樓后，他們仍然排著隊，并與他們的老師一起走向操場。

各個班級按照事先安排好的位置靜靜地等待倪主任的指揮并依次返回教學樓。學生們很快恢復了上課的狀態，并反思了自己在緊急疏散情況下所采取的措施是否符合消防規定。消防演習結束了，同學們不僅學會了在火災情況下有序逃生，還學會了在危險情況下保持冷靜。上海中學國際部每年會有兩次這樣的演習，學生們通過每一次演習加強了對火災逃生流程的熟練度， 幫助他們在真正遇到火災的時候保持鎮定，逃離危險。
