CISK Biweekly News

On November 2, students from CISK participated in a football match against EtonHouse International School Suzhou (EHSZ) at EtonHouse with Coach Regis and Mr. Asheley. They learned a lot through this experience, and believed that they could do better next time!  That is the charm of sports!

11月2日，CISK的学生在Regis教练和Ashley老师的带领下，参加了在苏州伊顿国际学校举办的足球比赛。同学们在这样的赛事中获益良多，并且相信在未来他们会做的更好。这就是体育的魅力所在!

On November 6, our Head of Student Services, Mr. Cormack, led the senior school in a series of fun team-building activities. The first was to cross the gym without stepping on the floor using only sheets of paper, which students found all kinds of hilarious and creative ways to do. Secondly, students had to transport their team one by one to the other side of the gym to make a two-person arm-carry, where they hold each other's wrists and so make a seat for someone to sit on. Finally, the students had to cross the gym together by squatting down and holding the ankles of the person in front so they make a caterpillar! It was great fun to see the students laughing so much, and learning to cooperate in this way.

11月6日，学生服务总监Cormack先生带领高年级学生进行了一系列有趣的团队建设活动。他们运用各种有趣和有创意的方式，在不踩踏地板的情况下穿越体育馆。其次，学生们必须将他们的团队逐一运送到体育馆的另一侧，做一个两人抬臂的动作，即他们互相握住对方的手腕，这样就可以做一个座位给别人坐。最后，学生们必须蹲下身子，抓住前面人的脚踝，一起穿过体育馆，这样他们就成了一条毛毛虫!

On November 9, we were honored to receive the Local Fire Department with its high-ranking chief and rigorously trained brigade at CISK. Fully equipped fire trucks with the most modern technology arrived in a field full of excited students who had just evacuated the buildings in an orderly manner to continue their fire training.

11月9日我们很荣幸地迎来了全校的消防演习。装备齐全的消防车带着最现代化的技术来到了学校，学生们井然有序地从建筑物中撤离并进行消防训练。

Before the fire drill, students discussed various emergency situations that could occur in our area and how to stay safe. They reviewed how to exit the buildings no matter which classroom they’re in, how to line up in the field by class, check in to make sure no one is missing, and to recognize the “all clear” signal that the building has been confirmed to be empty and everyone safe.

在消防演习之前，学生们讨论了在我们地区可能发生的各种紧急情况以及如何保持安全。他们学习了如何从各个教室离开教学大楼，如何按班级在场内排队、签到以确保没有人失踪，并认识了 "一切正常"的信号，即大楼已被确认为空，每个人都是安全的。

Our fire drill was a great success, with all involved feeling more knowledgeable and safer in our working and learning environment, as we wish for our CISK family to always feel.

我们的消防演习非常成功，所有参与演习的人都学到了更专业的消防知识，并在今后的工作和学习环境中拥有更多安全感。
