Newsletter Middle and High School / 校内一周回顾/初高中部

Welcome Back, Bobcats!

As semester two gets underway this week, it has been a delight to see how excited our Middle/High students are about collaborating to develop individual and collective ideas through practical methods.

This week’s newsletter examines MYP Individuals and Societies and explores MYP Science Experiments. We are also celebrating the U14 volleyball and the U19 basketball teams as they compete fiercely against other schools.

Individuals and Societies 

To better inspire students to comprehend how societies, individuals, and environments interact. Grade 7 I&S students are exploring the different types of landforms found naturally throughout the world, how landforms form patterns develop, and the effect these patterns have on human activity. As an introduction to the unit, students worked to complete a word wall by choosing from a list of naturally occurring landforms and designing a display explaining how it forms naturally. Students were able to infuse their own creativity and artistic ability while demonstrating international-mindedness through the use of multiple languages.

欢迎返校,Bobcats!

随着本周第二学期的开始,我们开心地看到初高中的学生,对通过实用的方法合作发展出个人和集体的想法感到兴奋。

本周的新闻回顾个人和社会课程,以及探索IBDP的科学实验。同时,我们也庆祝U14排球队和U19篮球队与其他学校展开的激烈竞争。

个人和社会(I&S) 课程

为了更好地激发学生去理解社会、个人和环境之间如何产生的相互作用。七年级I&S学生正在探索世界各地不同类型的自然地貌,地貌形态模式是如何发展的,以及这些模式对人类活动的影响。作为本单元的介绍,学生们通过从一个自然发生的地形列表中选择一个,并设计一个小海报来解释它是如何自然形成的,从而完成一个单词墙。学生们能够注入自己的创造力和艺术能力,并通过使用多种语言来展示国际思维。

Science in the IB DP 

This week, Grade 11 physics students kicked off Term 2 with an exciting lab. First, students blew air through a straw and recorded the ‘noise’ produced on their laptops. They then analyzed the data using the “Audacity” software to pick out particular resonating frequencies. By changing the length of the straw, they collected enough data to determine the speed of sound in the air.

IBDP科学课

本周,G11 物理课上的学生开始了第 2 学期的激动人心的实验。首先,他们用笔记本电脑通过一根吸管吹气,并记录下产生的“噪音”。然后,使用“Audacity”软件分析数据,挑选出特定的共振频率。通过改变吸管的长度,他们能够收集到足够的数据来确定空气中的声速。

Athletics Updates  / 体育比赛信息

U19 Boys Basketball 

The CISB U19 Boys Basketball got their delayed season off to a fantastic start Wednesday as they defeated Dulwich 44-32. 

The Bobcats came out aggressively on defence with some full-court trapping pressure which caused some trouble for Dulwich. With their constant hustle, Jeff, Tony, and Nick were wreaking havoc on defence. Several turnovers led to easy baskets for CISB. 

The boys were a little nervous, and if not for a few unforced turnovers, the score could have opened up early, but an 11-5 first-quarter advantage was well deserved. 

Dulwich fought back and cut the halftime lead to 22-18 for the Bobcats. But CISB sustained the defensive pressure and rode the hot outside shooting of Ya-Han, who bombed in several three-pointers to safely secure the CISB victory. An excellent start for the Bobcats!

U19男篮

星期三,CISB U19 男篮以 44-32 得分击败德威,为迟来的赛季开启了梦幻般的开局。

Bobcats在防守端积极进攻,全场围攻,这给德威造成了不小的压力。Jeff、Tony 和 Nick 不断地努力攻破防线。几次反转CISB 轻松上篮得分。

队员们略有紧张,如果不是几次投篮失误,本可以早早拉开比分,但首节11-5的优势实至名归。

德威奋力反击,将半场分值差距缩小到22比18。下半场,CISB顶住防守压力,借由Ya-Han精准的外线投射,接连三分入网,为CISB稳稳锁定胜局。Bobcats 开门红!

U14 Girls Volleyball

U14 Boys Volleyball

The U14 Boys Volleyball team travelled to BSB for their first game of the season on Thursday, February 9th.
