Primary teachers – Panda voting

If you weren’t able to vote yesterday, please try to do so by break today (Wednesday) when I will put the two winning books in the brackets on the wall across from the primary office. I’m attaching YouTube links to the four books in case you haven’t had a chance to share them with your class:

Bear Came Along

Amy Wu and the Perfect Bao

All Are Welcome

Big Boys Cry

The next vote will be on Tuesday and will include the other six books.

Discover China Biking Practice

The following trips have a biking activity:

  • Chongming
  • Lin’an
  • Wuxi
  • Moganshan

If you can’t ride a bike comfortably for 15 – 25 km yet, please email Ms Anna. We will run a “learning to ride” workshop on campus to give you the chance to ride with confidence. We will practice after school for 30 minutes once or twice a week.

You could use this experience for your GCD – Personal Goal, Wellness or as a CAS Activity.

Toilet Paper Drive

From Monday the 15th – Friday the 26th, please drop off your roll of wrapped toilet paper in the designated boxes in the Centre Foyer and in the Library Foyer. We are asking each student and teacher to donate just one roll or one pack of toilet paper.

Earth day ~ April 22!

[category: student]

Earth Day – April 22

Do you want a day to celebrate your sustainable learning?

Do you wish for a day to connect with the world?

Do you desire a day to celebrate for earth?

Awesome! Student Council is organizing an Earth Day showcase on April 22, during block 5 and after school. Participating students will be able to set up during block 4 and lunch.

The event will be open to parents and the NIS community, as well as some visitors from international schools who will be on campus for the ACAMIS football tournament.

Students are encouraged to showcase their learning through various ways; presentation, interactive games, call for action, lecture, performance, or a film!

Stay tuned to our weekly updates for more information, thank you!

Student use of changing rooms

Dear Students,

Please remember that if you use the fitness centre before or after school, you need to use the showers and changing facilities in the green gym.

Many thanks for helping us to help you stay safe!

Toilet Paper Drive

NIS has been working with Ting Ting School for more than 8 years. The children at Ting Ting school have hearing impairments and some other disabilities. When we work with Ting Ting children, we organise games and other activities and this helps them develop social skills.

They rely on donations from the Community. We have decided to have a TOILET PAPER DRIVE because it’s light, easy to transport and everyone has it at home.

From Monday the 15th – Friday the 26th, please drop off your roll of wrapped toilet paper in the designated boxes in the Centre Foyer and in the Library Foyer. We are asking each student and teacher to donate just one roll or one pack of toilet paper.

Thank you.
