Dear Students,
Please check the activities that you have signed up for after lunch TODAY. They will be posted in your Humanities or TOK class as well as on the WINDOW outside the MYP LGR.
If your name has been highlighted, it means that you need to re-choose your activity because the activity is FULL. You must see me or send me an email to do this.
Thank you,
Mrs Tyoschin
Do you like music?
What would you do if someone told you that attending a music concert could help a child’s recovery from heart disease?
This is your chance to make a difference! Next Thursday on December 10th from 6-7pm, I, Morgan Trainer, am holding a music concert to raise money for Hopeful Hearts, I will be selling tickets in the foyer after school starting this week up until Tuesday next week so please come and buy a ticket!
The tickets cost ¥30 each and there are only 80 tickets so hurry!!!
Good morning,
Please see the attached minutes from Nov. 24.
The NIS quiz, aka The Humanities Bowl, is back!
Put all that exam revision to good use. We are looking for students to submit questions for the quiz. Please email Mr Underwood questions from units you have studied this year or before. Please tell me your name, grade and which of the following subjects your question relates to.
We are looking for questions (you must also include answers in your emails) from the following subjects:
Science
Humanities
Maths
Literature
The Arts
Design
Languages
PE
Even if you submit questions you can still take part. The Quiz is on Thursday, December 10th in the theatre. Teams can have no more than 5 people in them and there must be at least one student in every team.
Spare a thought for children very much less fortunate than yourselves. Why not bring some joy into the lives of some of our Pfrang students by buying Giving Tree gifts? 100RMB, either from you and your family or a joint money-raising effort in class, will get a gift for one student. We have 280 students to provide for. On sale in the Centre foyer before and after school. Giving works twice-THEY feel good receiving, and YOU feel GREAT giving!

HERE IS THE CORRECTED LINK TO THE FORM
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AS THERE ARE LOTS OF EXCEPTIONS
SUE
Provide opportunities for success.
If the student is comfortable with this, showcase certain accomplishments and talents. Give the student simple, nonverbal classroom jobs, such as passing out or collecting papers. Encourage participation in less language demanding tasks. When the class is working in small groups, give the student a specific, manageable role such as being responsible for the supplies or creating a chart or time line.
Blood Drive at NIS
Donating blood in my opinion is one of the most altruistic gestures you can make. It is completely voluntary, you do not know who will it benefit and statistically is guaranteed to save lives. I have donated blood in all the countries I have lived.
I wish to think with that small gesture I have given back to them for all the wonderful times I have spent in foreign lands.
As part of our new strategic goal of “Bursting the Bubble” with the help of our wonderful Admissions Team, we are organising a Blood Drive at NIS.
The idea is to have a blood donation station on Campus for a day in the hope that all healthy adults can take 30 minutes or so out of their busy schedule to donate blood…and save lives. Chinese authorities have been extremely helpful and will provide the medical personnel for the blood drive.
Not everybody can, particularly if you have been exposed or ill, for example with Hepatitis. Only adults (over 18 years old) can donate blood.
There are some formalities to adhere to, including filling in a detailed questionnaire to check if you qualify to donate blood. If you are interested you can download the form via this link https://share.nanjing-school.com/dailybulletin/files/2015/11/BloodDonation-Form-2hy84ae.pdf or pick up a hard copy at the Reception in the Centre. Kindly register your interest by sending a message to janedai@nanjing-school.com by Wednesday 9th December.
I hope you can join us on Tuesday, December 15th. Together we can save many lives. More information and a detailed schedule coming soon.
