Happy New Year! As we usher in the Year of Loong, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the new challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. It is a perfect time to reflect on our achievements so far and strive to improve upon them.

新年已到、福至春生，伴随龙年的来临，新学期的化学学习也开启了新的历程。

In Year 9, our students have been immersed in the fascinating world of Chemistry, specifically focusing on the study of the periodic table. This year, we delved into the periodicity and trends observed in various groups, such as Group I, VII, VIII (0), and transition metals. It has been an engaging and enlightening journey for our young learners.

九年级的同学们沉浸在有趣的化学世界中，特别是对周期表的研究。今年，我们深入研究了各种组别（如第一、第七、第八（0）组和过渡金属）中元素的周期性和趋势。对我们年轻的学习者来说，这是一个引人入胜且富有启发的旅程。

Coincidentally, this period coincided with the time when fireworks illuminated the skies, adding an extra layer of excitement to our lessons. Our students were thrilled to discover that fireworks were actually invented by the Chinese. The beautiful and explosive colours that grace the night sky are achieved through the use of transition metals or compounds. Additionally, paints, dyes, and many other everyday items may also contain compounds that include transition metals and elements such as noble gases, further highlighting their significance in our lives.

巧合的是，元素周期表解释了烟花的原理，为我们的课程增添了额外的光彩。我们知道，烟花实际上是由中国人发明的。我们的学生很兴奋地发现，点缀夜空的美丽和璀璨色彩是通过使用过渡金属或化合物实现的。此外，颜料、染料和许多其他日常物品中也可能含有包括过渡金属和惰性气体在内的化合物，进一步突显了它们在我们生活中的重要性。

Understanding how to use and interpret the periodic table and its trends forms the foundation of studying chemistry. Our Year 9 students have made remarkable progress in this regard, developing a solid understanding of the elements, their properties, and their interactions.

理解如何使用和解读周期表及其趋势是学习化学的基础。我们的九年级学生在这方面取得了显著的进步，对元素、它们的性质和相互作用有了坚实的理解。

In celebration of our journey through the periodic table, we would like to share some fun facts with you:

在学习元素周期表的过程中，我们想与您分享一些有趣的事实：

1. Did you know that the periodic table we use today was first proposed by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869? It has since become one of the most important tools in chemistry.

您知道我们今天使用的周期表最早是由德米特里·门捷列耶夫于1869年提出的吗？它已成为化学中最重要的工具之一。

2. The elements in the periodic table are arranged based on their atomic numbers, which represent the number of protons in an atom's nucleus.

周期表中的元素是根据它们的原子序数排列的，原子序数代表原子核中质子的数量。

3. Hydrogen, the lightest element, occupies a unique position in the periodic table as it has properties of both metals and nonmetals.

氢是最轻的元素，在周期表中占据了独特的位置，因为它具有金属和非金属的性质。

4. The noble gases (such as helium, neon, and argon) are called "noble" because they were once believed to be too unreactive to form compounds with other elements.

惰性气体（如氦、氖和氩）被称为“惰性”，因为它们曾被认为过于不活跃，无法与其他元素形成化合物。

5. The element with the highest atomic number currently known is oganesson (Og) with atomic number 118.

目前已知的原子序数最高的元素是118号元素鿫（Og）。

We are incredibly proud of our Year 9 students for their enthusiasm and dedication to exploring the wonders of chemistry. Their understanding of the periodic table will serve as a solid foundation for their future scientific endeavours.

我们为九年级学生探索化学奥妙的热情和执着精神感到无比自豪。他们对元素周期表的理解将为他们未来的科学研究打下坚实的基础。

As we embark on this new year, we invite parents and potential students to join us on this exciting journey. The study of chemistry offers endless opportunities for exploration, discovery, and personal growth. We look forward to welcoming new students into our vibrant and supportive learning community.

在我们踏上新的一年的旅程时，我们诚挚邀请家长和学生一起加入我们这个充足有趣的旅程。化学的学习为探索、发现和个人成长提供了无尽的机会。我们期待着欢迎新的学生加入我们充满活力和支持性的学习社区。
