Month: March 2019

ABRSM Club

We will be starting an ABRSM5 club once a week during the first half of lunch in the music room. This will take place during either Day 4 or 7 each week (depending on whether Miss Keus has an assembly tech rehearsal). We will have an ABRSM5 WeChat that includes your parents and every Sunday night we’ll send out the schedule of which day the club will take place.This is not a mandatory club and Miss Keus will not be chasing students who miss sessions – it’s all up to you and how serious you are.

If you are interested in attending, please come to Miss Keus’ room today during the 1st half of lunch.

March Media Mentor Month

Following on from the Weekly Bulletin post about March Media Mentor Month, here is today’s challenge:


While the original post was primarily for parents, teachers are also encouraged to try some of these with their students as well. Try and complete as many of the activities in the calendar as you can throughout the month of March and if you would like to share with our community, make sure to mention @nischinaorg (on Instagram) or @NISChina (on Twitter or Facebook) so we can follow your progress! Together we can mentor each other to be more mindful and purposeful users of technology!

The rest of the calendar can be found below:

Book sets for Lit Circles and/or Book Clubs

Did you know we have well over 50 different sets of chapter books (usually 5-6 per set) that teachers can check out to use in their classes for Lit Circles, reading groups, or book clubs? Where is this treasure trove, do you ask? Why, in the library Resource Room (the room behind my office). All are welcome to explore, be you PYP, MYP, or DP.
