Early Childhood Art Lessons

幼儿艺术课程

Rainbow Experiments and Exploration

彩虹实验与探索

Creativity and experience are integral components of early childhood fine arts education. Encouraging students to engage with various creative tools is paramount in fostering their ability to express themselves confidently from a young age. In recent early childhood art education endeavors, students have delved into the realm of movement within painting to enhance their fine motor skills and witness the dynamic effects of color in motion.

创造力和经历是幼儿艺术教育的重要一环。鼓励孩子们使用各种创意工具能够培养他们自信表达的能力。在最近的幼儿艺术教育尝试中，孩子们在绘画中探索“运动”，见证色彩在运动中产生的动态效果，同时锻炼眼睛、手和手指的协调能力。

Hands-On Science

科学实践

Three states of matter

物质的三种状态

Science is a lot of fun when students have an opportunity to learn through exploration. Over the past couple of weeks, students in grade 3 have become chemists as they learned about the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gasses, and the difference between solutions and mixtures.

当学生有机会探索学习时，科学就会充满乐趣。在过去的几周里，三年级的学生们变身小化学家，了解了物质的三种状态：固体、液体和气体，以及溶液和混合物之间的区别。

Mysteric Oobleck 

神奇物质欧不裂

One activity involved  a type of matter, Oobleck, which is msomewhat of a mystery. Oobleck, taken from the Dr. Suess book, Bartholomew and the Oobleck, is a nonnewtonian fluid. When pressure is placed upon it, it acts as a solid. As soon as pressure is released, it becomes a liquid. Students watched a video called, “Walking on Oobleck.” Then, using cornstarch and water, they had the opportunity to make their own Oobleck. Students had fun playing with and investigating this interesting matter.

其中一项活动涉及到一种神奇的物质“欧不裂”。欧不裂，取自苏斯博士的书《巴塞洛缪和欧不裂》，是一种非牛顿流体。当对其施加压力时，它就像固体一样。一旦释放压力，它就变成液体。学生们观看了“在欧不裂上行走”的视频，然后用玉米淀粉和水制作自己的欧不裂，学生开心地体验并探究了非牛顿流体的神奇特性。

Mixtures and Solutions 

混合物与溶液

Another activity involved identifying mixtures and solutions. Students  worked in groups answering the question, “Which items, when mixed with water, will form a mixture? Which will form a substance?” Students were given a pitcher of water and 7 cups which were filled with different substances After mixing each with water, they collected data though observation and made a  decision as to whether each resulted in a mixture or a substance.

另一项活动是区分混合物和溶液。学生们分组回答以下问题：哪些物质与水混合时会形成混合物？ 哪个会形成溶液？学生们以一壶水和里面装满了不同的物质的7个杯子为实验材料进行了探索。学生将每种物质与水混合后，通过观察收集数据并得出结论，进而确定这些物质是否可以形成混合物或溶液。

Hands-on science is so much fun!

科学实践探究真是太有趣了！

Delve into the Islamic Caliphates

探索哈里发王朝

Dynamic history

流动的历史

Grade 6 Be students recently embarked on an immersive exploration of Islam and the Islamic Caliphates, underlining the dynamic nature of history education. Beginning with Islam's birth on the Arabian Peninsula, students traced its spread and the profound impact it had on cultural, social, and political landscapes. They delved into the pivotal roles of the first four caliphs in the Rashidun Caliphate, the expansion under the Umayyad dynasty, and the golden age of the Abbasid Caliphate.

G6 Be学生最近完全沉浸在了对伊斯兰教和伊斯兰哈里发王朝的探索中。孩子们在历史的长河中，切身感受到了历史的流动性。从伊斯兰教在阿拉伯半岛的诞生开始，学生们追溯了伊斯兰教的传播及其对文化、社会和政治格局的深远影响，深入了解了拉希敦哈里发王朝前四位哈里发的重要作用、倭马亚王朝的扩张以及阿拔斯哈里发王朝的黄金时代。

2024

To deepen comprehension, students undertook research projects culminating in presentations. This process unfolded through distinct stages: role assignments, research, design, collaboration, and presentation rehearsal. Students embraced ownership and accountability, recognizing the value of teamwork and communication.

为了加深对学习内容的理解，同学们开展了小组研究项目，并进行了课堂展示。小组研究项目的过程包括：角色分配、史实研究、设计项目、团队合作和项目排练。学生积极地参与了研究项目，发挥学习主动性，认识到了团队合作和沟通的价值。

Research teams scoured historical texts and scholarly articles, while designers crafted visually engaging presentations. Collaboration was key as teams synthesized findings, resolving conflicts, and leveraging strengths to create cohesive presentations.

在团队合作中，负责史实研究的同学参考了大量的历史文献和学术文章，而负责设计的同学则精心制作了引人入胜的PPT。协作，是本次小组合作项目的主旋律，各小组在共同努力下，弥合分歧，发挥优势，最终呈现了高质量的小组展示。

As Presentation Day neared, focus shifted to final preparations, refining delivery, and addressing last-minute adjustments. Through this project, students not only enriched their understanding of Islamic history but also honed their critical academic skills.

随着小组展示的日子越来越近，同学们的准备工作也进入了收尾阶段。他们不断地完善演讲内容，并对小组展示做了最后的调整。通过本次小组展示活动，学生们不仅加深了对伊斯兰历史的理解，还磨练了关键的学术技能。

The project reflects our BASIS School's ethos of student-driven learning and academic rigor, aiming to cultivate critical thinkers, communicators, and lifelong learners.

该项目体现了贝赛思学校让学生主导学习的学习模式和学校严谨的学术精神。贝赛思旨在培养学生的批判性思维、沟通交流能力和终身学习的能力。

In conclusion, the presentations stand as a testament to our students' dedication and scholarly inquiry. As they pursue their academic journeys, we remain committed to nurturing their intellectual curiosity and global citizenship.

总之，同学们的演讲充分体现了他们严谨而认真的学术精神。在今后的学习道路上，我们将继续致力于培养同学们的求知欲和世界公民意识。

Spring Poetry Gathering

孟春诗会

Beauty of Poetry

感悟诗歌之美

In the third month of the spring season, with grass growing and birds chirping, an extraordinary event unfolded in the G8 Chinese class this week—a spring poetry gathering.

孟春三月，草长莺飞，这周八年级的中文课堂上正掀起一场别开生面的孟春诗会。

This semester, as part of extracurricular activities, students engaged in independent explorations of classical poetry in small groups within their classes. Teachers presented exploration topics and peer evaluation criteria to the students, providing targeted guidance along the way, with the hope that students would present their best work. On Thursday and Friday, students transformed into junior instructors, sharing their carefully crafted "key questions" with their classmates. In these tranquil classroom moments, the air was filled with the sound of contemplation as students delved deeper into their understanding of poetry.

本学期，我们在课外古诗诵读方面进行了分组自主探究。老师们呈现了探究内容和互评标准给学生，并有针对性地逐一指导，期望同学们能够呈现出最佳的内容。而在周四和周五的课堂上，他们则化身为小老师，将自己精心设计的“核心问题”分享给同学们。在这静谧的课堂中，弥漫着思考的氛围，学生们对诗歌有了更深层次的理解。

This was not merely a study of ancient poetry but also an opportunity for sharing and inspiration. In this vibrant spring season, students immersed themselves in the beauty of poetry, showcasing their unique literary tastes and depth of thought.

这不仅是一场关于古诗的学习，更是一次关于分享和启发的旅程。在这春意盎然的时节里，学生们用心感悟着诗歌的美妙，展现着他们独特的文学品味和思考深度。
