On Friday 29th October, under the beautiful sunshine, our SUIS Pudong campus held our 2nd whole school book character parade. Students from all 4 streams gathered together and were welcomed by Co Principal Ms Sahi and Assistant Principal Ms Cai who were dressed up as Wally from ‘Where’s Wally?’to kick start the parade.
Every class had an opportunity to show their costumes to the rest of the school. The costumes were colourful and varied. Students cheered for each other and celebrated the winners who were chosen. Thank you to everyone for taking part and making the event a great success.
Let’s listen to our wonderful students!

I dressed up as Sully, a top scarer in the book, Monster Inc. In the story, when this monster met Boo, a human child, Sully changed Monster Inc. The reason why I chose this particular character is first, because that Sully is so furry and cute, and his skin colour is blue with purple dots, which are my two favorite colors. But mostly, I chose this character because he realized that instead of scaring, monsters should make human laugh. I really like the idea of that.
我把自己打扮成了《Monster Inc》里的Sully。在故事中，当这个怪物遇到人类小孩Boo的时候，Sully改变了怪物公司。我之所以选择这个特别的角色，首先是因为Sully全身毛茸茸的看上去很可爱，他蓝色的皮肤上有着紫色的斑点，这是我最喜欢的两种颜色。但最重要的是，我选择这个角色是因为他意识到，怪物不应该让人害怕，而应该让人发笑。我真的很喜欢这个主意。

This character’s name is Alberto. He is a sea monster from Disney movie, Luca. The book’s name is also Luca and Luca is Alberto’s friend.
The reason why I chose him? Because this is a brave monster! By the way, Alberto’s favorite thing was a Vespa motorcycle.
我装扮的角色名字叫Alberto。他是迪士尼电影《Luca》中的海怪。这本书的名字也叫Luca，Luca是Alberto的朋友。而我选择装扮成他的原因是因为Alberto是一个勇敢的怪物！顺带一提，Alberto最喜欢的是一辆Vespa摩托车。

On last Friday, 29th of October, our whole school did the Book Character Dress-up Event, and we were extremely interested in the costumes others wore, especially fellow pupils who wore Hogwarts clothes, since we were trying to count the popularity of the different houses. (We lost count on Gryffindor, but got 9 for Slytherin, 3 for Ravenclaw and 2 for Hufflepuff!). I never thought that I would be the one to be awarded the best costume in our class, since my friend and fellow classmate dressed up as a striking resemblance to Cruella. I dressed up as a character from my favorite Japanese comic/animation: One Piece (海賊王). I chose this costume because I pity the character, Nico Robin, for she never got to know her parents and watched her home island burn into ashes, with herself being the only survivor. She is my favorite character because she was curious about history, excellent in languages, resilient when facing problems, makes efficient collaboration and successful community spirits while respecting her own and others personal space, all the time being independent.
10月29日，也就是上周五，全校举行了“书中人物装扮活动大游行”，我们对其他人的装扮特别感兴趣，尤其是那些穿霍格沃茨服装的同学。我们想看看不同学院的受欢迎程度，统计结果是格兰芬多输了，而斯莱特林得了9分，拉文克劳得了3分，赫奇帕奇得了2分！我没想过自己会获得班级最佳服装奖，因为我的朋友和同学打扮得和Cruella惊人地相似。我打扮成我最喜欢的日本动漫《海贼王》中的一个角色。我选择装扮成妮可·罗宾是因为我同情这个角色，她从未了解过自己的父母，还亲眼目睹了自己的家乡被烧成灰烬，而她自己是唯一的幸存者。她是我最喜欢的角色，因为她对历史很好奇，有着极强的语言天赋，以坚韧的态度面对困境，在保持独立、尊重自己和同伴的私人空间的同时又能及时为同伴提供帮助。

“代表月亮消灭你！”
相信大家都有听过这句话。
这次，我扮演的是《美少女戰士》里的美少女战士。之所以扮演这个因为她的形象能勾起妈妈一辈的回忆。在剧中常会有不速之客光顾地球，扰乱世界，但是美少女战士不轻易放弃，勇往直前，关键时刻绝望变希望为了保卫家园而战斗。这个角色也是非常积极向上的，可以看到水兵月更愿意感化恶魔，净化她们的心灵而不是先与她们格斗。其中的真善美正是漫画家希望孩子们有的品格。
I dressed up as Sailor Moon in a verypopular Japanese cartoon show, which is an old memory of our parents. Thereason why I chose this character is because she shows us lots of good qualitiessuch as resilience, not giving up, being positive. This is actually something thatthe author wants us to learn, as the young generation.

我装扮成了《哈利波特》中的哈利。他一直在和伏地魔作斗争，永不畏惧。他聪明、善良、勇敢。妈妈给我买这本书，我翻了几页就被这本书深深吸引住了。

我扮演的是《世界名画鉴赏》中的一副作品：《抱貂的女郎》。我希望不是通过买现成的服装，而是利用家中现有材料，用创意做出造型。
I dressed up as the masterpiece portrait Ladywith an Ermine and I used recycled materials to make the costume. Reallyenjoy it and hope you will also like it!
