Summer Fun & Growth | CISB Summer Camp Weeks 1–2 Review

As June came to a close and July began, the CISB Summer Camp launched into two wonderful weeks of discovery, laughter, and connection. From our youngest campers in K1, K2, and K3 to the older students in Grades 201A and 201B, every child embraced new experiences and grew in their own unique way.

六月的尾声，七月的序章，CISB夏令营在欢声笑语中拉开帷幕。转眼间，两周的夏日时光已悄然流淌，从幼儿部K1、K2、K3的小萌娃，到小学部201A、201B班的哥哥姐姐，每一位营员都在探索、游戏与友爱中收获了属于自己的成长与惊喜。

In Week 1, our little ones explored the theme “Me Myself.” They bravely introduced themselves, expressed feelings with words like “happy,” “excited,” and “sleepy,” and learned body parts through the lively song “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes.” Creative wax-resist painting sparked their imagination, while daily routines encouraged polite words like “please” and “thank you.” Sharing toys, encouraging each other during snacks, and outdoor activities like Scooting, jumping, and kicking built both motor skills and kindness.

第一周，孩子们围绕“Me Myself”主题，勇敢地介绍自己，用“happy”“excited”等词汇表达情绪，在“Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”的律动中认识身体，在蜡笔晕染画中挥洒创意；他们学会说“请”“谢谢”，在分享玩具和互相鼓励中养成礼貌与关怀。

Week 2 brought the theme “We Are Connected.” K1 children made friendship cards, crafted pretend cupcakes with playdough, and celebrated a classmate’s birthday with shared joy. K2 kids painted “hand” artworks to show caring and practised taking turns on scooters and bicycles, using polite greetings. K3 campers delved into “Family,” sharing stories about their loved ones and discovering that every family is special. Through music, art, martial arts, swimming, and outdoor play, each day was filled with fresh challenges—and every morning began with smiles and ended with even bigger ones.

第二周主题“We Are Connected”，K1的小朋友制作友谊贺卡、用橡皮泥捏“纸杯蛋糕”，还为小伙伴庆祝生日；K2的宝贝们通过绘画“小手”表达关爱，练习轮流骑车、说礼貌用语；K3的哥哥姐姐则深入探讨“家庭”的意义，分享家人的故事，感悟每一种家庭的独特与温暖。户外骑行、跳跃、踢球，室内手工、音乐、武术、游泳……每一天都充满新鲜挑战，而每个清晨的微笑和离园时更灿烂的笑脸，正是我们最大的欣慰。

Our older campers enjoyed a rich blend of intellectual and physical challenges. In Week 1, they immersed themselves in the “AI Future City” and “3D Minecraft Maker” projects—designing city plans, building models, programming with Microbit, creating a smart airport system, and using 3D pens to craft imaginative structures. At the same time, they were introduced to traditional Chinese instruments such as the guzheng, ruan, and erhu, learning basic fingering and appreciating folk music. In sports, boys practiced freestyle, breaststroke, and backstroke, while girls explored artistic swimming; Tai Chi classes taught them the grace of balancing strength and softness.

Week 2 deepened the learning: the Future City projects culminated in confident student presentations on eco-solutions, renewable energy, and AI applications. Art classes took them on a global journey—from African art and medieval paintings to the Renaissance and the masterful light techniques of Rembrandt and Vermeer. Instrumental training advanced to one-on-one coaching, with some students already performing complete pieces like “The Smiling, Proud Wanderer” and “Fengyang Flower Drum.” In PE, swimming, artistic swimming, fitness drills, and Tai Chi five-step routines rotated throughout the week, allowing each child to make significant progress in their chosen skills.

201班的同学们则经历了一场“脑力与体力”的双重盛宴。第一周，他们沉浸在“AI未来城市”和“3D Minecraft创客”项目中，从城市规划、建筑模型搭建到Microbit编程，亲手设计智能机场系统，并用3D打印笔创作立体作品；同时，他们初识古筝、阮、二胡等中国传统乐器，学习基础指法，感受民乐之美；体育课上，男生练习自由泳、蛙泳，女生体验花样游泳，太极课则让他们体会刚柔并济的东方智慧。

第二周，课程继续深化——“未来城市”项目迎来终期展示，学生们自信地讲解生态城市、新能源和AI解决方案；美术课开启环球艺术之旅，从非洲艺术、中世纪绘画到文艺复兴、伦勃朗的光影技法，拓宽审美视野；乐器课进入一对一精准指导，部分同学已能完整演奏《沧海一声笑》《凤阳花鼓》等曲目；体育方面，游泳、艺术游泳、体能训练与太极五步拳交替进行，每位同学都在专项技能上取得显著进步。

Over these two weeks, we witnessed countless precious “firsts”—from a toddler’s first independent introduction to an elementary student’s first finished 3D print and first complete musical performance. We saw children learn to care for one another, build confidence through challenges, and broaden their horizons through diverse cultural experiences. We are deeply grateful to every parent for entrusting us with your wonderful children. It is our privilege to walk alongside them during this sparkling summer. More exciting adventures lie ahead—let’s look forward to many more beautiful moments of growth! 🌞

两周的夏令营生活，无论是幼儿部宝贝们的第一次独立表达、第一次主动分享，还是小学部同学们的第一份3D打印作品、第一首完整演奏的民乐曲目，每一个“第一次”都弥足珍贵。我们欣喜地看到，孩子们在集体中学会关爱，在挑战中收获自信，在多元文化中拓宽视野。感谢每一位家长将如此可爱的孩子送到我们身边，让我们有幸陪伴他们度过这段闪闪发光的夏日时光。接下来的日子，精彩仍在继续，让我们共同期待更多成长的故事！
