The September full moon brought a special bit of magic to BISS Early Years this year. The Baby Cubs of the school got together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Students and teachers greeted each other wearing vibrant Han Fu garments. Each year group celebrated a bit differently. Pre-Nursery experimented and tasted traditional mooncakes with a mooncake tea party. Nursery pupils created moon-themed art and learned about the legend of the Moon Festival and our Reception students filled the halls with colourful lanterns.
The highlight of the morning was a bilingual play about the holiday legend, brilliantly performed by our talented teachers. Hou Yi shot the nine suns, Chang’E flew to the moon, and we all celebrated as one. As the Moon Festival comes to an end, the children will never forget the day we dressed in Han Fu, sampled mooncakes, and watched our teachers become legends.
As community in China, celebrating local traditions, cuisine and stories brings us all closer together while building a strong sense of pride for our local families.
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival BISS families!
The Year 7 residential trip was a resounding success, offering students a rich blend of educational and recreational activities. From exploring Tulou architecture to crafting bows and arrows, making food and tea, and engaging in exciting water activities, the students gained valuable skills, knowledge and memories. The trip not only enhanced their learning but also fostered personal growth and strengthened peer relationships.
The British International School Shanghai proudly celebrates the remarkable achievements of its IB Diploma students as they receive an array of extraordinary university offers. Among these stellar offers, a shining pinnacle stands tall—the University of Oxford, a testament to the exceptional academic prowess cultivated within the school's walls.
Assessment in Theory of Knowledge (TOK) is conducted through a TOK Exhibition and a 1600-word TOK essay. The TOK exhibition is an internal assessment component that is marked by the teacher and moderated by the IB. It is an excellent opportunity for students to explore what knowledge is and what impacts how we know things.
Transitioning from Primary to Secondary School is a significant milestone in a child's educational journey. To ease this transition and ensure a smooth start, many schools organise transition days that allow Primary students to experience Secondary School life before the new academic year begins.
