一、君诚师生到访日本人学校交流学习SIBS visit the Beijing Japanese school

　　君诚学校历来非常重视学生的品格教育。为了更好地提升学生的素养，学习日本的文化、文明礼仪以及动手能力，同时增进国际学校之间的交流，本周四上午，君诚学校的老师们带领全体二年级的同学们到访了日本人学校进行学习。

　　小同学们进入日本人学校的第一件事就是换上干净的鞋子，学校内的地板可是非常干净整洁。在篮球场上，日本人学校一二年级的小朋友们整齐的坐在地板上热烈欢迎君诚师生，还给我们表演了活力满满的舞蹈。

　　为了体验日本人学校学生的日常生活，君诚的孩子们在老师的组织下有序的打扫教室和楼道的卫生。看着小伙伴们忙活的热火朝天，互帮互助，享受劳动的快乐。结束后，双方小朋友们互相赠送小礼物，依依不舍的告别。

　　SIBS has always attached great importance to students' character education. In order to improve students' quality, learn Japanese culture, etiquette and practical ability, and enhance the communication between international schools, teachers of SIBS led all the students of grade two to visit the Japanese school in Beijing on Thursday morning. The first thing they did when they arrived at the Japanese school is to change into clean shoes. The floor is very clean and tidy. On the basketball court, grade 1 and grade 2 children of the Japanese school neatly sat on the floor warmly welcome SIBS teachers and students, also gave us a vigorous dance. Inorder to experience the daily life of Japanese school students, SIBS’s children were organized by their teachers to clean the classrooms and corridors in an orderly manner. Look at the friends being busy in full swing, help each other,enjoy the joy of labor. After the end, the two sides of the children gave each other small gifts, reluctant to part from the farewell.

　　二、小学图书馆升级啦!ES Library Update!

　　小学图书馆以一个崭新的面孔又跟同学们见面啦!这次，图书馆新购置了明亮鲜艳和丰富多彩的装饰，温馨的家具以及柔软的地毯和靠垫，同学们可以尽情享受读书的快乐。

　　找书现在也变得既简单又有趣。我们设置了字母浏览架，让低年级的孩子在符合他们的视线里，一眼可见属于他们水平的标签和书籍。所有非小说类(non-fiction)书籍也很容易识别，每本书都有单独的标签，以便学生在看完书之后可以将它们放回到正确的地方。这将有助于学生的读书习惯过渡到中学图书馆阶段。

　　所有的研究表明，为享受而阅读的学生不仅拥有更好的词汇、语法和理解力，而且对周围的世界也有更好的了解，从而有助于身心的发育和快乐。我们的目标是：君诚的所有学生都培养出发自内心的对阅读的热爱，这样他们才会有最好的机会在生活中取得成功。图书馆的转型是君诚一直致力于实现这一目标的方式之一。

　　Transformation of the Elementary School Library has reached another milestone! The new,bright and colorful decorations certainly make our library a very inviting place to be. Students are enjoying the funky furniture as well as the soft carpet and cushions. Finding books is now easy and fun. There are browsing boxes at the perfect height for the younger students and all the levelled books are clearly marked with new labels. All the non-fiction books are also easily identifiable with easy to read signs, and each book isindividually labelled so students can return them to the correct place. This will help students with the transition to the Middle School Library.

　　All the research suggests that students who read for enjoyment not only have better vocabulary, grammar and comprehension, but they also gain a better understanding of the world around them which can contribute to being happy. It is our aim at SIBS,that all students develop a love of reading so that they will have the best chance of being successful in their lives. The transformation of the library is one way that SIBS has been working towards achieving this goal.Thanks to Mrs Wang, Ms Nancy and Mr A for their help. Also, special thanks to our hard-working ES Librarian Ms May. Yours in reading, Anita Claasz(Teacher Librarian SIBS)

　　三、五年级数学探究式课程——Grade 5 math inquiry course

　　数学，是研究数量、结构、变化、空间以及信息等概念的一门学科。在君诚，老师们通过自制的教具，在游戏中引导学生探究事情发生的可能性。首先，通过师生一起玩“石头剪刀布“、“抛硬币”的游戏，使学生直观感知“不确定现象”。其次，通过玩“翻扑克牌”和“幸运大转盘”，进而研究“确定现象”，结合所实践的具体情景，让学生感受到事情发生的确定性，并能进行准确描述。本次数学课，学生在活动过程中懂得数学存在于现实生活中，从而激发学生学习数学的兴趣。

　　Mathematicsis the study of the concepts of quantity, structure, change, space and information. In SIBS, teachers use homemade teaching tools to guide students in games to explore the possibility of things happening. First of all, students and teachers played the games of "rock, paper, scissors" and"coin flip" together to make students intuitively perceive the"uncertain phenomenon". Secondly, through playing "flip CARDS" and "lucky big wheel", the "confirmation phenomenon" is further studied. In combination with the specific situationin practice, students can feel the certainty of the occurrence of things and accurately describe them. In this math class, students understood the existence of mathematics in real life in the process of activities , so as to stimulate students' interest in learning mathematics.

　　四、生物俱乐部“水培果蔬”实验Biology club "hydroponic fruit and vegetable" experiment

　　在生物实验室，同学们精心栽培的“水培果蔬”实验已经进行到了第9周。同学们在泡沫箱的盖子适当位置画上圆圈，由老师用电钻开孔器钻出圆洞，可以将培养篮放入洞里。每个泡沫箱上打2-4个洞，种植2-4棵植物。上周同学们已经育苗了小白菜、油菜和生菜种子，大部分种子已经发芽了。做好培养箱，配制好营养液，里面含有植物生长所需的钙、镁、氮等无机元素。同学们将发芽的小苗放入水培篮，再将水培篮放入培养箱的洞里。最后将培养箱放在窗台上，接受阳光的沐浴。

　　In the biology lab, students have been carefully cultivated "hydroponic fruits and vegetables" experiment for the ninth week. Students draw a circle on the cover of the foam box. The teacher used a drill to drill a round hole where you can put the cultivate basket. Make 2-4 holes in each foam box and plant 2-4plants. Last week the students had already planted cabbage, rape and lettuce seeds, most of which had sprouted. Get the incubator and nutrient solution ready, which contains calcium, magnesium, nitrogen and other inorganic elements that plant growth needs. The students put the sprouting seedlings into the hydroponic basket, and then put the hydroponic basket into the hole of the incubator. Finally, place the incubator on the window sill and accept the sunlight.
