Move-a-thon
Last week we had our first Move-a-thon. Together as a community we completed the following number of laps and distance covered:
PreK, K1, K2, G11, G12 = 478 laps = 119.5 km
Grade 1 -4 – 1409 laps = 352.25 km
Grade 5 – 10 – 1292 laps = 518 km
This means as a school we covered 989.75 km, this is more than three times the distance between Nanjing and Shanghai, and further than the distance between Nanjing and Seoul, South Korea.
An excellent job by everyone and now we have a record to try and beat next year.
Campus Access Document Feedback
Hello All,
Linked below are two documents regarding campus access that we’d love some feedback on. This first is a draft “Campus Access Guide” primarily targeted at parents to help systematize and communicate our phases of campus access. The second is a draft “Campus Access Continuum” which will be an internal document we use to clarify who can access campus and when. If you are interested, please have a look and send Kasson any feedback by Wednesday morning. Thanks!
Coming soon! The incredible MYP/DP production of…..
Overheard in the cafeteria queue…
Nora (Student 1): Did you here this year’s production is Shakespeare?
Dora (Student 2): You’re joking! Why would they do that to us? There’s no way I’m going to that!
Flora (Student 3): Me neither. No-one except teachers understands Shakespeare.
Fauna (Student 4): What’s Shakespeare?
Mr.Hammond: It’s actually very funny.
Nora: Did you hear something?
Dora: Nah, it was just a teacher noise. Ignore it.
Mr.Hammond: It’s a comedy!
Flora: Hmmm… But it’s the only production we have this year. Maybe we should go…
Fauna: What’s Shakespeare?
Nora: But I only like musicals.
Mr.Hammond: There’s a song in it!
Nora: I keep hearing a teacher noise. It’s so annoying!
Dora: Yeah, it’s lunchtime and this is a teacher-free zone!
Flora: Hmmm… The productions here are always totally amazing. Maybe we should go…
Mr.Hammond: The set is fantastic, the decorations are magical, the acting is superb…
Dora: There’s that noise again. Some weird buzzing…
Mr.Hammond: The play is hilarious, a joke a minute, laughs for everyone…
Nora: Yeah, like a mosquito. I don’t understand a word it says…
Flora: Hmmm… It would be a great night out, and it’s only 30 RMB. Maybe we should go…
Fauna: What’s Shakespeare?!
To be continued…

Food and drink in class
Students in Grades 6-12; here is a Monday Morning Mind Teaser: Can you bring food and drink into your classes? Can you eat your breakfast in Advisory? Can you carry a can of coke in your bag and pull it out when you are thirsty in class? What about a quick munch on a banana if you are peckish in class?
The answer to all of these is:no.
You may bring water to class. You may eat during break and lunch.
