In recent weeks, learning across BIS has taken many inspiring forms. From exploring nature and Chinese culture in our early years, to investigating renewable energy in Year 6, to meaningful goal-setting and upcoming events in Secondary, our students have been growing with curiosity, confidence, and purpose.

Here are some of the highlights from our BIS community.

Exploring Nature, Culture and Characters in Chinese Class

Written by Ms. Renee, November 2025

Over the past month, our Reception Tiger children have embarked on a learning journey full of exploration and discovery in their Chinese lessons. By connecting the themes from English lessons with elements of traditional Chinese culture, we opened a rich and colourful world of Chinese learning for our young learners.

Wildlife theme connected to the English lessons:

In Chinese class, we explored animals’ habits and habitats, learnt to recognise different types of fur and their functions, and discovered the “superpowers” wild animals develop for survival. Through a range of hands-on tasks, we strengthened multiple skills — for example, by matching shadows with the correct animal stickers, the children practised cutting along specific lines, developing their focus and hand–eye coordination. Our “shadow detective” activity nurtured observation and differentiation skills. In this engaging environment, we reinforced what they learnt in English while deepening their understanding of wildlife.

Introducing traditional Chinese festivals and seasonal terms:

During the Double Ninth Festival, we learnt that it is a day dedicated to honouring and caring for elders. We explored the meaning of “filial piety” and discussed what grandparents do for us, as well as what we can do in return. The children listened to the festival legend, learnt about its customs, understood the idea of “climbing high to see far”, and made bright red dogwood decorations. We also read the story Kong Rong Shares the Pears to learn about humility and respect, while also emphasising the importance of expressing one’s needs — ensuring children understand that kindness should not come at the cost of suppressing themselves.

As Start of Winter arrived, we introduced the concept and number of the 24 solar terms, helping the children understand that this marks the beginning of winter and giving them the chance to appreciate the wonders of seasonal change. We read the saying “Eat dumplings at Start of Winter and your ears won’t freeze” and made our own colourful dumplings, experiencing the charm of traditional culture.

Beginning Chinese character learning:

We also started our introductory journey into Chinese characters. The children learnt about the structure of the tianzige writing grid and basic strokes, and then practised tracing and writing the horizontal stroke “横”, distinguishing between long and short forms. Although their strokes are still small and tentative, every line shows their concentration and enthusiasm.

The importance of renewable energy powering our world.

Written by Mr. Adam, November 2025.

Within the year six class this week, all students were shown in the subject of global perspectives how the world’s energy consumption (prevalent with greenhouse gas emissions) is considered to be one of the main factors to cause widespread effects to the Earth’s climate, changing local, provincial, national or global areas known to us. One of the main solutions to this universal dilemma is through the aspect of renewable energy.

With this in mind, all year six students got the chance to undertake project work in their respective groups, selecting one renewable energy type that appealed to them the most. These renewable energy types included solar energy, wave energy, tidal energy, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydroelectric energy. Essentially, all students used their own research, evaluation and analytical skills to formulate their very own insightful A3 posters on their chosen renewable energy source.

Furthermore, each student in their groups presented their unique posters to the rest of the class, stating how and why their chosen renewable energy source is paramount for all countries of the world going forward. Fundamentally, it became important to display all these informative A3 renewable energy posters on a display board outside of the year six classroom, allowing everyone from around school to recognise their own distinctive work.

Growing Together: Supporting Our Students’ Future Success

Written by Ms. Lori, November 2025.

It has been a busy and exciting time for our Secondary community! Over the past few weeks, we have been conducting one-on-one parent meetings with every secondary student and their families. These meeting is a valuable opportunity to discuss each student’s academic progress, future goals, and personalized guidance for the next steps. We truly appreciate the time and effort families have taken to engage in these important conversations — together, we can better support our students in planning for a successful future.

At the same time, under the leadership of our Principal, Ms. Michelle, and Head of Secondary, Ms. Melissa, we are preparing to host our A Level Information Night. This event is designed for students who are about to enter the IGCSE and A Level periods. During the session, students and parents will learn more about the subject options, how to select courses based on their intended university major and study destination, and how to plan effectively for the next phase of their academic journey.

For our Lower Secondary students, this term has been focused on exploring different career paths and gaining a deeper understanding of education systems around the world. Through interactive discussions and activities, students have been encouraged to think about their personal interests, global opportunities, and how education can open doors to many exciting futures.

We are proud of the curiosity, ambition, and engagement our students have shown throughout these activities. Thank you to all our families for your ongoing support — together, we continue to inspire our students to dream big and achieve their goals.

Exciting Events & Student Growth in Action

Written by Mr. Yaseen, November 2025

With two upcoming events on the horizon, in the shape of Athletics day, as well as the Winter concert, the next month brings with it excitement, as well as opportunities for students to showcase their talents.

Athletics Day (November 25th for Primary, November 27th for Secondary)

Unlike in previous years, this year’s Athletics Day, is being treated as a competitive event, with try-outs that have been conducted twice weekly, as we harness the student’s energy into improving their abilities for every event. Houses were introduced a few weeks ago, in the hope of creating a sense of unity and belonging that encompasses all ages of students. People who would not usually communicate, are forging friendships with others, as they focus towards achieving common goals. It is a wonderful aspect of the House system, which will be used going forward not just for Athletics, but for future events as well. Students submitting magnificent artwork, and it is indeed their creations that will be emblazoned across our sports attire.

Winter concert (December 12th)

Our hope is for this year’s end of semester event to be the best one yet. Rehearsals have already begun, with students from different grades trying to create a magical performance their parents and teachers can be proud of. There will be booths, poetry, music, fun, all in the name of entertaining you, the parents. Be on the lookout for the schedule which will be posted soon enough, orchestrated by our Music specialist Mr. Dika..

AEP Department

The AEP department has been performing admirably, with students being given a far clearer image of what is expected of them, to transition from AEP to mainstream. Regular assessments have contributed toward a more consistent work ethic, and a vision of what they need to do, to get to where they want to be. AEP specialist teachers have also been working together with the main subject teachers, in co-teaching lessons, to ensure an alignment of content, which leads to lessons with a far more directed focus. The head of Secondary, Melissa Jones, and I, are in constant contact with each other ensuring Secondary and AEP are working together in the way that is needed, with your students’ progress always being our primary focus.

Thank you

Yaseen Ismail

AEP/Specialist coordinator

在近期的校园学习中，BIS的课堂展现出多元而富有启发性的精彩。无论是低龄段孩子对自然与中国文化的探索、六年级学生对可再生能源的研究，还是中学部在目标规划与重要活动上的积极参与，所有学生都在好奇、信心与成长中不断前进。

下面，我们就带大家一览我们BIS校园社区的高光时刻。

自然·文化·汉字：中文课堂的精彩探索

作者：Ms. Renee，2025年11月

在过去的一个月里，Reception Tiger（4-5岁小虎班）的小朋友们在中文课中展开了一段充满探索与发现的学习之旅。我们结合英文课的主题与中华传统文化，为小朋友们打开了丰富多彩的中文世界。

结合英文课的野生动物主题：

我们在中文课堂上认识动物的习性以及居住环境、识别不同野生动物的皮毛以及它们的作用、一起探索野生动物们为了生存而演化出的“超能力”，同时通过不同练习注重多方面能力—通过识别影子，粘贴对应的野生动物，我们练习剪特定线条，锻炼小朋友们的专注力和手眼协调能力；影子侦探的练习培养小朋友们的观察能力和辨识能力。在充满趣味的氛围中，我们巩固了英文课的知识，也更进一步了解野生动物。

同时，适时引入中国传统节日和节气知识：

在重阳节期间，我们认识了它是一个关爱长辈的节日，由此了解“百善孝为先”和尊老爱老的传统美德，一起探讨家里的长辈为我们付出了什么，我们又可以为他们做些什么。我们一起聆听重阳节传说，了解更多的节日传统习俗，学习“登高望远”的涵义，做了红彤彤的茱萸。扩展读《孔融让梨》的故事，了解谦让、尊老爱幼的品德之外，也解释表达自身需求的重要性-避免为了美德而过度压抑自己；

随着立冬的到来，我们认识节气的概念和总数，了解立冬表示冬季的起始，感受季节变化的奇妙。我们读“立冬吃饺子不冻耳朵”的谚语-一起制作了各自的五彩饺子，感受着传统文化的魅力。

汉字启蒙，迈出书写第一步：

我们还开始了汉字学习的启蒙之旅。从认识田字格和讲解笔画开始，尝试在练习册上正确描摹和书写基础笔画“横”，并区分了长横和短横的不同。虽然笔触稚嫩，但每一笔都充满了认真与热情。

可再生能源驱动世界的重要性

作者：Mr. Adam ，2025年11月

本周，在六年级的全球视野课程中，所有学生学习了全球能源消耗（伴随大量温室气体排放）被认为是导致地球气候发生广泛变化的主要因素之一，这些变化可能影响我们所熟知的地方、省份、国家乃至全球范围。而解决这一全球性问题的主要途径之一，就是发展可再生能源。

基于这一理念，六年级的所有学生都有机会以小组为单位进行项目研究，选择自己最感兴趣的一种可再生能源类型进行探究。这些可再生能源包括太阳能、波浪能、潮汐能、风能、地热能以及水力发电。学生们充分运用自己的研究、评估和分析能力，制作了具有独到见解的 A3 海报，展示他们所选择的可再生能源。

随后，每个小组的学生都向全班展示了他们独特的海报，并说明为什么以及如何他们所选择的可再生能源对于未来全球各国至关重要。最后，这些富有信息量的A3海报被统一展示在六年级教室外的展示板上，让全校师生都能欣赏并认识到每位学生独特的成果。

携手成长：助力学生未来成功

作者：Ms. Lori，2025年11月

亲爱的BIS家庭，

最近，BIS中学部的校园生活既忙碌又充满活力！在过去几周里，我们与每位中学学生及其家庭进行了面对面的家长会。这些会议为讨论学生的学业进展、未来目标以及下一步的个性化指导提供了宝贵机会。我们衷心感谢各位家庭投入的时间和精力参与这些重要交流——只有携手合作，我们才能更好地支持学生规划通往成功的未来。

与此同时，在校长Ms. Michelle和中学部负责人Ms. Melissa的带领下，我们正在筹备A Level课程信息说明会。该活动面向即将进入IGCSE和A Level阶段的学生及家长。在说明会上，学生和家长将了解更多关于课程选择的内容，包括如何根据未来大学专业及留学目标合理选择科目，以及如何有效规划学业的下一阶段。

对于中低年级的学生，本学期的重点是探索不同的职业路径，并深入了解全球各地的教育体系。通过互动讨论和实践活动，学生被鼓励思考自己的兴趣、全球发展机会，以及教育如何为未来打开更多精彩的可能性。

我们为学生们在这些活动中展现出的好奇心、进取心和积极参与感到自豪。感谢所有家庭的持续支持——正是有了你们的陪伴，我们才能继续激励学生勇敢追梦，实现目标。

精彩活动 & 见证学生成长

作者：Mr. Yaseen，2025年11月

随着两项即将到来的活动——运动会和冬季音乐会——下个月将充满激动人心的时刻，同时也是学生展示才华的绝佳机会。

运动会（小学：11月25日，中学：11月27日）

与往年不同，今年的运动会被设定为竞技性质的活动，学生每周进行两次选拔赛，以将他们的精力转化为提升各项技能的动力。几周前，学校引入了“学院制（House system）”，旨在营造跨年级的归属感和团结感。通常不会交流的学生，通过共同追求目标，建立了新的友谊。这正是学院制的精彩之处——不仅用于运动会，将来也会延伸至更多学校活动。学生们还提交了精彩的作品，这些作品将被印在我们的运动服上，展现他们的创意与才华。

冬季音乐会（12月12日）

我们希望今年的学期末活动成为有史以来最精彩的一次。排练已经开始，不同年级的学生们正努力打造一场让家长和老师都引以为豪的神奇表演。活动当天将设有展台、诗歌朗诵、音乐演出和趣味环节，旨在为各位家长带来欢乐。具体安排将在近期发布，由音乐老师Mr. Dika统筹。

AEP部门

AEP部门表现优异，学生对从AEP过渡到主流课程的要求有了更清晰的认知。定期评估帮助学生养成更加稳定的学习习惯，也让他们明确如何实现自己的目标。AEP专课教师与主课教师密切合作，共同授课，确保课程内容对齐，使课堂更具针对性。中学部负责人Melissa Jones与我保持密切沟通，确保中学部与AEP部门协作顺畅，学生的学习进步始终是我们的首要关注。
