每当一学期接近尾声时，其中一项最激动人心的活动便是CASE课外活动展示大会（ShowCASE）。在参与CASE（即创意、活动、服务、英语）课外活动期间，我们的学生不遗余力地为自己所热爱的领域付出时间和汗水，我们很高兴看到这些丰富多样的经历正在帮助他们发展成为一名卓越的IB学习者。

Here comes one of the most exciting end-of-semester events - the ShowCASE assembly. Congratulations to all students who took part in CASE (Creativity, Activities, Service and English) experiences and ShowCASE this semester! We are proud of the time and effort that students have put into their passions, and we are excited to see how these experiences have helped them develop as an IB learner. 

每学期，TWIS都会为学生提供20余节CASE课外活动，而学生可以根据自己的兴趣爱好和发展方向从中作出选择。CASE项目不仅为学生提供了一个探索不同兴趣和能力的平台，还有助于学生发展一些对DP项目或日后生活都至关重要的技能，如团队合作、沟通能力和领导力。

Each semester, TWIS offers more than 20 extracurricular activities for students to choose from, depending on their interests and growth direction. Participating in CASE experiences can be incredibly beneficial for students. Not only do they provide an opportunity to explore different interests and talents, but they also help to develop key skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership, which are essential for success in the IB Diploma Programme and in life beyond school. 

在参与CASE课外活动过程中表现突出的学生则可以在CASE展示大会（ShowCASE）上获得IB学习者属性认证，这可以帮助学生看到课外活动经历和学术领域之间的关联性，以此让学生理解他们在某个特定领域所发展的技能和态度是可以如何应用到其他领域的。另外，这种方法也有助于培养学生对学习的主人翁态度，并帮助他们意识到参加CASE项目所培养的能力和态度的价值。

Students who demonstrated the IB learner profile qualities are recognized with a special CASE certificate. Recognizing student achievement in the development of the IB Learner Profile during CASE can help students to see the connections between their CASE experiences and their academic studies and to understand how the skills and attitudes they are developing in one area can be applied in others. This approach helps students to develop a sense of ownership over their learning and to see the value of the skills and attitudes they are developing through their experiences. 

例如，参加运动课程的学生可以培养“全面发展（balanced）”的品质；参加音乐系列课程的小小音乐家和演员在运用音乐表达情感时，可以培养“善于探究（inquiry）”和“开阔思维（open-mindedness）”的品质；在展示学习成果和学习技能时，学生可以发挥“勇于冒险（risk-takers）”的精神；学生领导者和志愿者建立了“关爱（caring）”和 “负责任（responsible）”的属性，因为他们学会了为他人服务。这一系列的品质都是IB学习者的十大培养目标。

For example, our students who participate in a sports team are developing the attributes of being "balanced". Our young musicians and actors are developing "open-mindedness" and "inquiry" as they learn to approach and express themselves. They then need to become "risk-takers" to present their skills when they showCASE their learning. Student leaders and our school community volunteers are building on "caring" and "responsible" attributes, as they learn to serve others in their community. 

本学期，除了颁奖之外，我们还采用了与以往不同的方式来展示学生的学习成就。例如，我们提供展览的平台，帮助学生展示他们的作品；我们还为参加体育俱乐部的学生提供与其他学校进行体育竞赛的方式来展示所学。不妨让我们一起来看看部分CASE的精彩瞬间吧！

This semester, in addition to presenting the awards, we have a different way of ShowCASEing our achievcements learned from the CASE compared to the past. For example, we offer exhibitions to help students showcase their self-produced works; we offer platforms for students who took part in sports clubs to showcase their learning by competing with other schools. Let's see some highlights from some CASEs!

在CASE课程选择中，TWIS为PYP小学生提供初级厨师课程，为MYP中学生提供国际美食制作课程。

Among the CASE options, TWIS offers the Junior Chef CASE for our PYP students and the International Cuisine CASE for MYP students.

初级厨师课程可以让小学生收获烘培和烹饪技能的同时，还让他们体验到烹饪过程中的创造性、艺术性和魔法性。在这学期，教师Mr. Sebastien分享了许多西式糕点的做法，如煎饼、玛芬蛋糕、巧克力熔岩蛋糕、意大利宽面、芝士火锅、三明治和可丽饼等，让学生尽享了厨艺的乐趣。

Junior Chef is the perfect recipe for learning that baking and cooking is an enduring life skill that can be creative, artistic and sometimes magical. During the semester, our CASE leader Mr. Sebastien shared the practice of food cooking such as pancakes, muffin cake, chocolate lava cake, lasagna, cheese fondue, sandwiches and crepes with our students.

在国际美食制作课程中，学生们学会了如何准备和烹饪来自世界各地的美食。例如，他们学会了烹饪意大利的意大利面、法国的可丽饼、美国的三明治等等。在结课时，为了展示所学，他们准备了一系列自制的美食与整个学校社区分享。

In the International Cuisine CASE, MYP students learned how to prepare and cook different cuisines around the world. For example, they have learned to cook pasta dishes from Italy, crepes from France, gourmet sandwiches from America, and so on. To showcase what they have learned, they prepared self-made food to share with the whole community.

电子科技一直是驱动音乐流派、音乐风格和音乐实践发展的力量。在音乐制作课外课程中，MYP中学生充分发展了其制作音乐的实践能力，他们运用音乐程序创造了自己的音乐作品或混音作品。在制作音乐的过程中，他们发挥着好奇心和创造力，不仅能够独立地探索音乐制作的要领，还能够与他人合作一起创造音乐。在课程结束时，学生通过学校铃声系统展示了她们所创作的音乐。点击以下音频一起来欣赏一下吧！

Digital technologies have always been a driving force behind the development of musical genres, styles, and practices. Through the Music Production CASE, MYP students developed their skills in practical music-making and generated their music works or remixes utilizing music technology applications. Students worked independently and cooperatively to explore the essentials of music production and nurtured their curiosity, developing their creative skills. At the end of the course, students showcased their self-produced original music to the whole school through our school bell system! Let's enjoy some of them!

摄影，是一门将瞬间变成永恒的艺术。在自然摄影课程中，MYP中学生有机会通过摄影镜头来探索他们所身处的世界和追寻他们对大自然的热爱。通过镜头的定焦，学生可以从取景器里观察到日常生活中的微小事物，如雨滴、树叶和昆虫，从而学会保持对大自然的好奇心与敬畏感，学会从全球变暖的角度来关爱我们的地球。在领悟摄影技术后，学生拍摄了一系列与众不同的照片，有些学生甚至运用了图片后期技术来优化照片的呈现效果，充分地展现了“冒险者”的IB学习者属性。

Photography is the art of turning moments into eternity. MYP students were given the opportunity to explore their surroundings and their love for nature through the creative lens of photography. Students were able to show appreciation for the smallest of things such as raindrops, leaves, and insects when they began looking through their viewfinders and focus. It was an excellent occasion to learn to be more caring towards nature and think about the big picture in terms of global warming. Students were able to create otherwordly visuals and some even explored the option of digitally manipulating their photographs demonstrating their risk-taking attribute.

高尔夫是一项十分特别的运动，它是一项将体育锻炼和大自然融为一体的运动，同时培养着人们的专注力和自信心。一直以来，TWIS与校外机构共同合作，为学生提供了定制化的高尔夫学习课程。经过一学期的刻苦训练和学习后，学生前往了高尔夫球场参加了结营赛，通过这一亲身体验，更进一步地促进了他们对高尔夫的了解和认识。

Golf is a very special sport that helps foster concentration and self-confidence while fusing physical exercise and nature. TWIS has been collaborating with organizations to provide customized golf learning programs for our students. After a semester of rigorous training and study, students went to the golf course for a closing tournament, which further strengthened their comprehension and knowledge of golf via this practical experience.

柔道这项运动起源于一种武术，它强调使用敏捷快速的动作和杠杆原理来对抗另一方。作为一项全面锻炼肌肉、关节和骨骼力量的运动，柔道往往会让学生学会将对手的力量转化为自己的优势，而非直接与之对抗。为了展示他们在柔道技术方面的进步程度，学生在国际柔道日和东莞圣诞节庆上进行了精彩的表演。

Judo is a martial art that emphasizes the use of quick movement and leverage to throw an opponent. As one of the best sports for the overall development of muscles, joint movement and skeleton strength, the techniques of Judo are generally intended to turn an opponent's force to one's own advantage rather than to oppose it directly. Our young judokas have showcased and demonstrated their progress during International Judo Day and the DG Christmas Festival.

在文学小组里，学生往往会聚在一起深入地讨论各式各样的文学作品，这种讨论是以学生对所读内容的感想为主导的。在本学期，他们一起阅读了《福尔摩斯探案集》、《暮光之城：暮色》、《五枚橘籽》等英语原著，一起谈论了书中的事件和人物、作者的写作手法，或与故事有关的作者生活经历等。

In the Literary Circles, small groups of students gathered together to discuss a piece of literature in depth. The discussion was guided by students' responses to what they have read. During the semester, they read a lot of masterpieces together, such as The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Twilight and The Five Orange Pips. They talked about events and characters in the books, the author's craft, or personal experiences related to the story.

时尚插图和设计课外课程的设立让我们的学生拥有一次富有创造性和教育意义的经历。在学习的过程中，学生采用了各式各样的人物模型，为其绘制和设计服装，并利用彩色绘画笔为他们的设计草稿增添色彩和细节。他们还从大自然中汲取灵感，使用花卉照片和喜爱人物来增添设计的创意性。在此过程中，他们领会到了时尚绘画的素描技能，并在实践中发展出一套属于自己的独特风格。在学期结束时，他们发挥了创造力和艺术能力，整合了一套原创服装设计作品集，最终展示在CASE作品展上。

The CASE of Fashion Illustration and Design was a creative and educational experience for our students. They used templates of figures in various poses to draw clothing designs on top, utilizing colored pencils to add color and detail to their sketches. They also drew inspiration from the natural world, using photographs of flowers, as well as their favorite characters to inform their clothing designs. The students learned valuable skills in fashion sketching and developed their own unique styles through this hands-on experience. By the end of the semester, they had created a portfolio of original fashion sketches, reflecting their creativity and artistic ability.

在陶艺课程中，学生能够体验到用粘土和其他陶瓷材料制作器皿或其他物体，然后通过高温烧制将其变成陶器的全过程。在创作的过程中，学生通过观察、思考、操作、欣赏、再操作、再欣赏的反复过程，用手之触觉完善他们对不同事物特征的认识，提高他们的艺术审美能力。在本学期，他们制作了各种各样的陶艺产品，最后展示在CASE作品展上。

Pottery is the process and the products of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired at high temperatures to give them a hard and durable form. During the process of getting their hands 'dirty', students perfect their understanding of different features with the touch of their hands and improve their artistic and aesthetic abilities through a repeated procedure of observation, reflection, manipulation, appreciation, re-operation and re-appreciation. During the semester, they made a variety of pottery products, which were finally displayed in the CASE exhibition.
