校区动态丨11月第一周，MIS的学生如何学习和生活？

In this library course, our students engaged in independent reading of various picture books or listened to the teacher’s storytelling of Daisuke Miyamoto’s The Dinosaur Series, enjoying a fun and enriching learning experience. These picture books, both engaging and entertaining, are loved by the students, and they, containing many important educational values, also help children learn excellent qualities while having fun reading.

In the dance classes over the past few weeks, the students of G2 have made significant progress, which fills me with immense joy. Although the dance rhythms that are complex and irregular pose a challenge to the students, their physical coordination and movement memory have improved remarkably. While the children may encounter some difficulties in mastering the rhythms, I firmly believe that with consistent practice, they will make even greater strides.

In the past few weeks of the UOI curriculum, we have led our students on a journey to explore where we have come from with a review of places that we originally lived in. We began by introducing the different concepts of rural and urban areas, ensuring that students could identify the type of region they currently live in and expand their understanding of the possible lifestyles based on different places of residence. Subsequently, the students turned their attention to the area they live in now, which led them to emphasize city living.

Cette semaine, nous avons consacré du temps à revoir les connaissances acquises au cours de ce semestre en préparation des mid-terms. Pour la classe des Lions, les élèves étaient au début un peu timides, principalement en raison de leur manque d'habitude avec les dialogues en français. Cependant, au fur et à mesure des répétitions et de l'entraînement, ils ont gagné en confiance et en aisance. Il est vraiment agréable de voir leurs progrès et nous avons constaté des résultats très encourageants. Certains élèves ont même commencé à prendre des initiatives et à parler avec plus de fluidité.

Quant aux Eagles, ils ont abordé ce travail avec beaucoup de sérieux et d’engagement. Ils se sont bien préparés pour l'évaluation orale, en répétant avec enthousiasme et en cherchant à améliorer leurs performances. Leur motivation et leur rigueur ont payé, et nous avons vu plusieurs élèves briller lors des répétitions, notamment grâce à leur capacité à bien structurer leurs dialogues et à s’exprimer clairement en français. Ces progrès sont vraiment impressionnants et prometteurs pour les examens à venir.

We were dedicated to reviewing the knowledge acquired throughout the semester in preparation for the mid-terms. For the Lion class, the students were initially a bit shy, mainly due to their lack of experience with dialogues in French. However, as the repetition and practice continued, they gained more confidence and ease. It’s truly rewarding to see their progress, and we have witnessed very encouraging results. Some students have even started taking the initiative and speaking more fluidly.

As for the Eagles, they approached this task with great seriousness and commitment. They prepared diligently for the oral evaluation, rehearsed with enthusiasm and strove to improve their performance. Their motivation and discipline paid off, and we saw several students shine during the practice sessions, especially with their ability to structure their dialogues well and speak clearly in French. These achievements are truly impressive and promising for the upcoming exams.

Our G5 students had their mid-term PE assessment, a crucial moment to assess their athletic skills and physical fitness. During this assessment, students were challenged with a series of tasks designed to demonstrate their proficiency in specific sports, including skills such as juggling a pickleball serving and receiving, as well as dribbling a ball (soccer). The assessment of these skills not only tested their technical accuracy but also involved their speed, endurance, and Body Mass Index (BMI), which are key indicators of a student's overall physical performance.

In art class for G6, our students embarked on a unique creative journey to explore the theme of "Animal Alter Ego Self-Portrait Sculpture." We began with a brainstorming session where students chose an animal that represented their personality. This choice not only sparked their imagination but also allowed them to delve deeper into their inner world.

Recently, our mechanics course has achieved significant results. The course covered core knowledge points such as the basic properties of mechanics, and the close relationship between force and motion. Throughout this process, the students have shown great enthusiasm and participation in learning. They not only actively thought but also combined theoretical knowledge with phenomena in daily life so as to propose many vivid examples to support and verify the learned theories.

In G8 PE class, our students had their mid-term assessment, which included a range of assessments designed to evaluate their physical condition, such as height, weight, lung capacity, sit-and-reach, one-minute rope skipping, 50-meter dash, 50-meter shuttle run, and one-minute sit-ups. These tests were not only fun and challenging but also helped students to fully understand their physical fitness situations.

The G8 students not only have a solid foundation in dance but are also passionate about it. At this age, they begin to show preferences for specific dance styles. Therefore, in their dance classes, we share some selected dance segments for them to actively experience and feel.

Knowledge is a process of accumulation. Maintaining your passion and spirit of exploration for learning is more important than acquiring knowledge itself. The exploration of knowledge is a lifelong journey. The significance of the overall assessments lies in filling in the gaps and understanding your shortcomings at a particular stage. I believed that as long as you have made the necessary preparations, you would be more confident in your future learning. I hoped that through this overall assessment, you would not only demonstrate your mastery of knowledge but also your enthusiasm for learning and your desire for exploration.

In exams, integrity means following the rules, not cheating, not plagiarizing, and genuinely presenting your learning outcomes. This is not only a respect for knowledge but also a respect for your efforts. Adhering to integrity would shape your character, allowing you to take pride in your honesty and earn the respect and trust of others in your future studies and life.

May you gain not only an increase in knowledge but also growth and progress through this overall assessment. I hoped that you would all work hard together and embrace the challenge with integrity and enthusiasm! Please believe that no matter the outcomes, all teachers would offer you encouragement and affirmation. We would also work together to address any shortcomings and look forward to your successful exams!
