Capturing Learning Moments in the PYP Newsletter
As an IB World School, our commitment to developing passionate leaders is reflected in this month’s IB learner profile – Inquirer. We are excited to share the learning journeys of our PYP students at CISB.
In this edition, we highlight the diverse learning environment that our teachers have created for the Pre-Kindergarten classes through the outdoor learning space and a fantastic Pi Day celebration involving the entire community. In addition, our Grade 4 and Grade 5 PYP students continued to explore their unit to practice their inquiry and thinking skills.
Inquiry in IB learning
recognizes students as
being actively involved
and taking responsibility
for their learning.
Exploring Nature: Outdoor Learning for Pre-Kindergarten Students
With spring arriving on campus, it’s the perfect time for our PreK3 students to go outside and inquire about nature. Our students are currently exploring textures in art, and we have incorporated this into their outdoor learning experience. By examining the different textures in nature, our students can enhance their understanding of this concept and incorporate it into their next artwork. Thank you to our teachers for creating such a wonderful opportunity for our students to learn and grow.
PYP一周回顾-捕捉学习时刻
作为一所IB课程学校，我们致力于培养富有激情的领导者，在本月的IB学习者目标-探究精神中有所体现。我们很高兴能在CISB分享PYP学生的学习旅程。
在本周的新闻中，我们强调了多样化的学习环境，例如幼儿园班级的户外教学。及全校庆祝国际圆周率日。同时，还包括小学4和5年级的学生通过探究和思考继续完成他们在学的单元知识。
IB学习过程中的探究精神表现为学生积极参与并对自己的学习负责
探索自然：幼儿园学生的户外教学
随着春天的到来，这是我们PreK3学生走出教室，了解大自然的最佳时机。我们的学生目前正在探索艺术中不同物品的质地，我们已经将其融入到他们的户外学习体验中。通过研究自然界中不同物品的质地，我们的学生可以增强他们对这一概念的理解，并将其融入到他们的下一个艺术作品当中。感谢我们的老师为我们的学生创造了如此美妙的学习和成长的机会。
Pi Day Celebration
We are excited to share our recent Pi Day celebration, which took place on March 14th (3/14). This annual celebration is derived from the first three digits of the mathematical constant Pi (π), which is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and is approximately equal to 3.14159.
Our early years’ teachers created a fun and exciting learning activity for all students to participate in Gym B, including a 5-minute Pi Day Workout, a Pi Scavenger Hunt, making a Pi bracelet, listening to the Happy Pi Day Story by Bonnie Worth, and making a Pi crown.
国际圆周率日
我们很高兴与您分享我们最近在3月14日(3/14)举行的圆周率日庆祝活动。这个一年一度的庆祝活动源于数学常数π (π)的前三位数字，π是圆的周长与直径的比率，大约等于3.14159。
学校幼儿园部的老师们为所有学生设计了一系列有趣而令人兴奋的学习活动，包括5分钟的圆周率日锻炼，圆周率寻宝游戏，制作圆周率手镯，听邦妮·沃思的《圆周率日快乐故事》，以及制作圆周率王冠。
二年级学生创作了圆周率天际线艺术作品，每个“摩天大楼”代表一个数字。五年级的学生在课堂上进行数学挑战，从简单的圆周率计算开始，逐步发展到更为复杂的数学难题。
Pi Day serves as a reminder to our students that mathematics is an essential subject and a fun and fascinating one. It provides an opportunity for teachers to showcase the practical applications of math in our everyday lives and to help students understand the importance of mathematics in our society. Thank you to our teachers for creating engaging activities and making Pi Day memorable for our students.
PYP Students Dive Deeper into ‘Who We Are’
Last week, our PYP Grade 4 and Grade 5 students delved into the topic of body and health wellness through a range of exciting activities. From taking part in a fitness test to performing in a theatre play and even participating in a tug-of-war, our students had a blast while developing their teamwork skills.
These activities served as a platform for students to acquire the necessary knowledge and abilities for independent learning and research. Additionally, students used their inquiry and thinking skills to reflect on these experiences.
The “Who We Are” unit also allowed our students to explore nutritional facts and their connection to the March-Inquirer learner profile. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to broaden their understanding of this critical topic.
圆周率日提醒我们的学生，数学不仅是一门重要的学科，而且是一门有趣而迷人的学科。它为老师提供了一个展示数学在日常生活中的实际应用的机会，并帮助学生理解数学在我们社会中的重要性。感谢我们的老师们准备了如此多吸引人的活动，使圆周率日成为我们学生们难忘的节日。
PYP学生深入探讨“我们是谁”
上周，PYP四年级和五年级的学生通过一系列令人兴奋的活动深入研究了身体和健康的话题。从参加体能测试到参加戏剧表演，甚至参加拔河比赛，我们的学生在培养团队合作能力的同时获得了极大的乐趣。
这些活动为学生获得自主学习和研究所需的知识和能力提供了平台。此外，学生们运用他们的探究和思考技能来反思这些经历。
“我们是谁”单元还允许我们的学生探索营养标示及其与IB学习者目标-探究精神相关联。对于我们的学生来说，这是一个很好的机会来扩大他们对这个重要话题的理解。
