This week, Grade 11 students were engaged in their Cell biology unit with details on how cells membranes structures regulates the transport of materials entering and existing the cell. They practiced drawing and labelling cell membranes and linked structure to function, which is an important principle in science. They also learnt the differences between plant and animal cells, and practiced drawing simple prokaryotic cells and more complex eukaryotic cells.

PE and Fitness with Coach López 体育健身


This week, Grade 9 & 10 students were involved in their first Peer Assessment of this school year. It assessed the students' understanding of Touch Rugby, knowing of its rules, their basic catching & and passing skills and the ability to perform them in game-time situations. There has been a clear improvement in term of applying offensive and defensive strategies, and it's partly thanks to the video sessions that take place at the beginning of the lessons. Since it's a new sport for them, watching and analyzing other teams playing, it's a great way of understanding different ways of breaking down defenses.  本周在体育上,9年级和10年级的学生参加了本学年的第一次同伴评估。这次评估主要检测了学生们对接触式橄榄球运动的理解、对其规则的了解、基本的接球和传球技能以及在比赛中的表现能力。学生们在运用进攻和防守策略方面有了明显的进步,这主要得益于课程开始时的视频教学。因为橄榄球对我们学生来说是一项新的运动,观察和分析其他球队的比赛是了解不同防守方式的好方法。

Regarding Grades 11 & 12, students keep designing their own workouts, focusing on a specific goal that they have set for themselves. Some of them are working on their cardiovascular endurance, while others are trying to gain and tone their muscles. The ultimate goal is that they manage to become independent users of the weight room area, and they seem to be very familiar with the basic safety rules already. 11年级和12年级的学生们设计了自己的锻炼计划,体育课上专注于他们自己设定的特定目标。有些学生正在努力提高心血管耐力,还有一些学生在努力锻炼肌肉。他们的最终目标是能够独立使用健身区域的各项器械,学生们现在已经非常熟悉健身区域基本的安全规则。

Students were dancing to learn the "periodic table" song

学生通过舞蹈歌唱学习元素周期表


This week, Grade 9 & 10 students learnt about the specific groups and periods present in  Modern Periodic Table. Students had to identify connections between elements in a group have in similar chemical properties as they have the same number of outermost shell electrons. Students completed a mini lab to investigate how do alkali metals and alkaline earth metals react with water. 本周在科学课上,九年级和十年级的学生学习了现代元素周期表中的特定组和周期。学生们必须确定一组元素之间的联系,这些元素具有相似的化学性质,因为它们具有相同数量的最外层电子。学生们还做了实验,研究碱金属,碱土金属与水的反应。



AP-Physics 1  AP 物理


This week the students learned about the laws of motions. These laws are given by Sir Isaac Newton and have a great significance in our day to day life. 本周在AP物理课上,学生们学习了 艾萨克·牛顿爵士提出的运动定律,在我们的日常生活中具有重大意义。

They were introduced with the concept of inertia and its types. Real life examples based on different types of inertia were discussed. 学生们学习了惯性的概念及其类型,讨论了基于不同类型惯性的实际例子。

Problems related to the motion of lifts and pulley systems were done by students. Lift problems also made the students know about the real and the apparent weights of person. 学生们完成了与升降机和滑轮系统运动相关的问题,电梯问题也让学生们了解了人的实际重量和表观重量。

Related demonstrations were done in the class 同时,学生们也在课堂上进行了相关内容的演示。


Math and Pre-calculus with Ms. Sunny Sun 数学和前微积分


For Grade 11 students, with the introduction of the percentage error, it helps the students more in life to understand the degree of accuracy. The practice on scientific notation and Pythagoras theorem laid a more solid foundation to explore further in the trigonometric world. 本周在数学课上,11年级的学生学习了百分比误差,有助于学生们在生活中更多地了解准确度。科学记数法和毕达哥拉斯定理的学习为学生们进一步探索三角函数奠定了坚实的基础。

For Pre-calculus student, Priscilla first time heard the Goedels incompleteness theorems. These theorems paved the way for new ideas in the field of logic and the foundations of mathematics and also sets her thinking. With her own exploration, Priscilla understood the axioms of probability and how to calculate the probability of mutually exclusive events. 在前微积分课上,Priscilla学习了Goidel's的不完全性定理。这些定理为逻辑学和数学基础领域的新思想铺平了道路,也为她的数学思维奠定了基础。通过自己的探索,Priscilla了解了概率公理以及如何计算互斥事件的概率。
