Dear YK Pao School Community,
It is always good to return from a good break; students and staff are refreshed and thoroughly enjoyed sharing their holiday experiences. Many stayed close to family in Shanghai, many travelled to be with family overseas and some ventured into new places with friends. Time spent with loved ones is precious and this shone through many personal accounts of the holidays. It is easy for us to take the company of our family members for granted. It is remarkable what we can learn and find out from our children if we take the time to really interact with them. Some of the conversations we have heard and engaged in over the lunch tables this week have been outstanding.
Next week we look forward to hosting some more parent workshops. We do hope that you will be able to join us to hear about how you can support your child’s learning.
Crick Chen and myself have had the chance to spend time in other reputable schools in Beijing for the past couple of days. It has been very valuable seeing and understanding how other schools tackle and experience similar challenges and we look forward to furthering our thinking on our bi-lingual teaching, time tabling and differentiation of student learning.
We do hope that the ‘Read to Feed’ programme has been progressing well over the holiday and we will be closing the window for sponsorship soon. On Monday, we will be hosting two children from the area that benefited from our contributions last year. It is always valuable when children really understand how their contributions have helped and so the visit of these children and their families will be important for us all.
Have a good weekend.
Morning Drop-off
A reminder that cars dropping students off in Wuding Road should only stop-and-go. Students should be organised inside the car to get out when the door is opened by a Principal or security guard. Please inform drivers that they are not to get out of the car. We need to work together to ensure that the traffic on Wuding Road keeps moving.
Another reminder that NO cars are permitted to drive down the lane to the school. It causes traffic jams and does not endear us to our neighbours.
Enrichment Programme (EP) Notice
EP will start from next Monday. Most EP classes finish at 17:00 except for some classes on Monday and Thursday which finish at 17:30. Parents please arrange to pick up your child on time at the school gate.
Curriculum Workshop in Semester 2
A workshop was successfully held in last semester by English Department and parents were given more information about the aspects of the English programme and strategies to support students at home.

Pastoral Care Corner by Director of Pastoral Care – Mr Shane
Teaching Character in and out of the classroom is very important to us. Along with the valuable Character Education lessons that the teachers and students have been learning, we have included out YK Pao Story Mums in our lessons, who have brought us some amazing and inspiring stories and then engaged our students in great conversations. We are pleased to announce that we will be expanding the lessons with another group of parents who will combine our monthly character traits with stories and activities as well. Here I will share an announcement from this new team.
The newly formed English-language Character Education Parents program will be launching in March. We have been given a great opportunity to work with students to discuss different themes each month. We are looking for parents who can commit to volunteering to lead a session. Sessions take place in the morning of Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday per month. Volunteer time is only the session hour (30 minutes) + planning time (about 2 hours) per month. Kids love to see their parents in class and it will be a wonderful way to encourage sharing and discussion with children from various perspectives. Please contact one of our executive team members to get involved. Thank you! (Note: we are especially looking for more volunteers for Years 4 and 5!)

Also this month we will be introducing a new consistent behaviour plan to help our students be the best they can be. Each month, we will announce a behavioural goal for the students to meet. These will be announced at the beginning of the month and discussed within class times. At the end of the month, students will be able to score themselves, receive peer scores as well as teacher scores. We will also let parents know the goals so they can give encouragement and feedback at home as well. This month we are focusing on Balance and Self Management. We would like to see the students wearing the proper uniform each day, being punctual to school and to lessons, and finally conscientiously completes all assignments with diligence.
Message from the Library
Dear Parents,
Welcome back!
Library is surely a bustling place in March with the arrival of Baker Book Club books, the ongoing Read to Feed, 3 upcoming author visits, and the festivity of Book Week! In the meantime, we are also celebrating the International Women’s Day by sharing stories of outstanding women in the history or female protagonists. (http://libguides.ykpaoschool.cn/womensday)
Book Week and all the related activities are definitely the highlights in March. We will be collecting Read to Feed fund that is raised by our young readers on March 16. The plush Heifer Cow, RMB 100 each, is now for sale in the Library. Of course, all your good deeds will be forwarded to Heifer for helping more poor families. On March 9, YK Pao invites 2 children from Sichuan who will spend a day with Pao students.
Let’s not forget about the author visits. Liz Million, children’s beloved author and illustrator from the UK, will share her secrets on how to create colourful illustrations and exciting stories with our children on March 20. During the Book Week, both Ms Yu Ziying, a well-known Taiwanese translator and author, and Ms Xie Qianni, the Executive Editor of children’s magazine, will host workshops for students, teachers, AND Parents! More information will be updated before Book Week.
To provide the YK Pao Community a better access to our Library resources in the near future, both Library Team and ICT Team have been working on upgrading our Library system since last year, and we’ve finally reached the final stage. To ensure the smooth transition of the system, I am sorry to announce that the Library will be closed at 15.00 every Thursday and Friday. I apologise for any inconvenience and your support and understanding are highly appreciated.
Happy Reading!

Free Dental Examination
The Jiangsu Road Community Health Service Centre will do a free dental examination for all students next Wednesday and Thursday. Children who are found to have dental problems will receive a note in Chinese from the clinic a week later. Parents, please check your child’s schoolbag then.
Message from the School Nurse
It’s high season for norovirus gastroenteritis. It quite often occurs in the autumn and winter. Noroviruses are highly contagious. Please check the attached about “Norovirus”. If your child has vomited or has had diarrhea, please take him/her to the hospital for medical attention immediately and also inform your child’s class teacher and the school nurse. Please keep them at home during the illness until three days after the symptoms disappear then back to school.
Volunteer Host Families for Junior Chinese Camp (Day Camp)
The 8th YK Pao School Junior Chinese Camp (Day Camp) will take place this coming July at our Primary Division. Children aged 5-11 from around the world will be coming to Pao School to learn Chinese and experience Chinese culture. Some of them will stay with local families to learn about Chinese culture, share cultures and make friends. We are currently looking for volunteer families to host our campers.
The dates of the camp are as follows:
Session 1: June 29th – July 10th, 2015
Session 2: July 13th – July 24th, 2015
Volunteer host families should be native Chinese speakers.
Please contact Ms. Joanna Li at our Extension Programs Office if you would like to host a summer camp student, or wish to learn more about our program:

Message from Music Department
Music Schedule for the start of Term
- ALL BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL MUSIC ACTIVITIES INCLUDING EP start this Monday, (9th March).
- Saturday programme starts on Saturday 14th March.
- ALL LUNCHTIME ACTIVITIES started this week with the exceptions of English Choir and Vocal Ensemble. Students should remember to bring their instruments and music on the relevant days.
English Choir Auditions
We have now auditioned for English Choir for this semester. English choir had become too big and it was decided that it was necessary to reduce to a more manageable size. As a result there will almost certainly be some disappointment to those who were not successful on this occasion – especially those who were in the choir last semester.
To ensure absolute fairness and impartiality, we videoed and jointly marked every applicant on being in tune and on their voice. The total was out of 20 and everyone who scored 13 or above was entered into the choir.
For those who did not get into English Choir this semester, we would very much like them to come and join in with the Friday Choir.
Celebrating String Success
On 8th February a number of YK Pao cellists went to Beijing and performed in the 6th Annual Chinese Education Cultural Organisation Competition for strings. Matthew Y3B represented the Shanghai area and won gold out of the whole of China.
Within the Shanghai District, Harry Y2A came first and Sarah Y5A came third.
Congratulations to the coach Mr. Rick who won an award for being an outstanding teacher.
ALSO – Violinists Nathaniel 5A and Evan 5A were awarded tickets to a violin recital given by Mengla Huang for their dedication and hard work. The tickets were kindly donated by Mr. Sohmen. It was a very hard decision as to who to give the tickets to as we have so many dedicated students.
Violin Recital
Everyone is cordially invited to an evening recital given by the renowned violinist Ocean Zhang in the primary school auditorium. The concert begins at 18:30 on Monday (9th March) and will last about an hour.
Cello Players
Chinese ensemble is still looking for two cellists to join them next semester. The rehearsals take place on Saturday mornings. Anyone interested should contact Ms. Leef as soon as possible.
Woodwind and Brass Players
Mr. Dominic is still looking for any woodwind or brass players to join Wind Band. Anyone interested should see him as soon as possible.
A Reminder – SUMMER OPPORTUNITY FOR SINGERS
A reminder that we have the renowned Ralph Allwood, previously Director of Music at Eton College, England and founder of the celebrated Eton Choral Courses coming to YK Pao School in the summer with some of his expert singing trainers to run a singing course for any keen singers aged 8 – 15.
For further details, please go to the YK Pao website and look under the Summer Camp section – you need to click on the left where it actually says “Junior Choral Course” to find the downloadable brochure which is at:
http://www.ykpaoschool.cn/junior-choral-course
We are looking for 60 – 80 young singers. This course is not just for students at YK Pao School. We are advertising this throughout Shanghai and it is open to anyone in this age range who is enthusiastic and would like to attend.

各位包校集体成员，
经过假期的一番养精蓄锐后，我们终于愉快地重返校园了。学生们和老师们的身心得到了充分的休息，他们也非常高兴地互相分享了各自的假期经历。假期中很多学生选择留在上海与家人共度新春，也有很多学生随父母一起云游海外，与此同时，还有些包校成员和自己的朋友们去大胆探游新的地方。与亲人和朋友相处的时间总是非常宝贵的，我们从很多人讲述的假期经历中就可见一斑。我们常常把家人的陪伴当成是一件理所当然的事，但如果我们真正花些时间与孩子互动的话，我们可以从孩子身上发现一些意想不到的闪光点。这周，我在午餐饭桌上听到和参与的一些与孩子们的谈话真是让人倍感欣喜。
下周，我们将组织专项的课程工作坊供家长选择参与。我们希望大家能积极参加，以听取更多如何支持孩子学习的信息。
过去两天里，我和陈艳校长在北京走访了一些享誉盛名的学校。我们得以一窥和了解其他学校在面对与包校类似挑战的时候是如何应对处理的。本次出行对我们来说是非常有价值的，我们也将就双语教学、时间安排以及学生学习差异等方面做进一步的思考和探索。
我们希望孩子们即便在假期里也仍然坚持进行了开卷助人的项目活动，捐赠截止日期已经临近。下周一，我们将会接待两位去年接受开卷助人项目支持地区的学生。让孩子们真切感受自己的贡献为别人带来的帮助也是很宝贵的经历。这两位孩子和他们家庭的来访对我们来说也是很有意义的。
祝大家周末愉快！
早晨开车送孩子
我们在此提醒家长们，送孩子上学的车辆在武定西路上必须快速放下孩子然后离开。学生应在车内提前做好准备，以便校长或保安开车门时能够迅速下车。请告知司机，司机不用下车，而应该在孩子下车后尽快驶离。我们应共同努力确保武定西路的交通顺畅。
此外，我们想提醒大家，学校的弄堂内禁止车辆驶入。否则将造成交通拥堵，并影响学校与周围居民的关系。
拓展课程通知
拓展课程将于下周一开始，除周一、周四有部分课程于17:30结束，其余课程都于17:00结束，请家长们安排好时间，准时到校门口接学生。
第二学期的课程工作坊
英语组曾于上个学期成功举办了一次课程工作坊，通过互动家长们也获得了更多有关英语课程的信息和一些适合在家里使用的策略。我们也认为此类工作坊对学校和家长都比较有帮助，因此，本学期我们将再组织两场课程工作坊：
- 3月12日18:00-19:00 – 由探索组组织
- 时间、日期待定 – 由语文组和数学组组织
以下是本学期第一个课程工作坊的具体安排，我们欢迎有兴趣的家长前来参加。第二个工作坊的安排将于稍后分享。

在课堂内外进行品格教育对我们和孩子来说是非常重要的。除了老师们和学生们一直在学习的颇有意义的品格教育课程，我们还将校外的故事妈妈也纳入了课程资源之中，她们为我们带来了精彩且发人深省的故事，孩子们也就此进行了一系列深入探讨。现在，我们也非常高兴地宣布，我们将另一群家长扩充到了我们的阵营中来。她们会将每月的品格特征与故事和活动相结合，并借此进行品格教育。以下是来自这支新团队的通告。
新建立的品格教育英语故事妈妈项目将于三月正式启动。很高兴能有这么棒的机会在每个月里与孩子们讨论不同的品格教育主题。我们目前正在寻找能坚持完成一个教学单元的志愿家长。课程将于每月的周二、周三或周四上午进行。一个教学单元所包含的时间仅为教学时间(30分钟)+备课时间(约2小时)。孩子们非常喜欢看见自己的家长出现在教室里的感觉，这也是鼓励孩子对一件事情进行飞分享和多方位探讨的好方法。如果您有兴趣参加，请联系以下任意一位该项目的核心团队成员。非常感谢！(注：我们特别想寻觅一些四、五年级的志愿家长！)

此外，本月我们还将推出一个全新的行为计划来帮助学生尽力做到最好。在每月月初，我们都会宣布一个希望学生们达到的行为目标。在这个月里，孩子们会就这个主题在相关课时内进行讨论。待月底时，学生可进行自评和互评，老师们也会给予评分。我们也会与家长分享每月的行为目标以便家长们在家里鼓励孩子做到并给予学校反馈。三月份的行为目标是“平衡与自我管理”。我们希望见到学生每天能穿着得体的校服、准时上学上课、勤奋认真地完成所有被布置的任务。
来自图书馆的信息
亲爱的家长们，
欢迎大家回来！
整个三月份，图书馆无疑是一个非常繁忙的地方。贝克图书俱乐部的书籍已经到货并分发给同学们，“开卷助人”活动正进入高潮，三位儿童文学作家和插画家将来访我校，当然还有我们一年一度的盛会——书籍周！与此同时，我们也将庆祝国际妇女节，并借此机会和大家一起分享历史上杰出女性的相关书籍或以女性为主人公的故事。(http://libguides.ykpaoschool.cn/womensday)
书籍周以及与其相关的所有活动无疑是三月的一大亮点。各位小书虫们为“开卷助人”活动所凑集的善款将于3月16日统一收集。小母牛纪念毛绒公仔也同步在图书馆有售，每只售价为100元人民币。当然，您的善行将通过海惠小母牛帮助更多的贫困家庭。3月9日，我们还将迎来两位来自海惠小母牛四川项目点的孩子，他们将与我们的学生共度一天的学校生活。
同样，作家来访活动也是相当的精彩。Liz Million是一位深受儿童喜爱的英国作家和插画家，她将于3月20日与同学们分享她插画创作中的秘密和那些精彩故事。在书籍周期间，著名台湾儿童文学作家和翻译家余治莹和《少年文艺》执行主编谢倩霓也将来访我校，他们将为学生、老师和家长们带来精彩的讲座。更多详细信息将会在书籍周前与大家分享。
为了使包校成员在不久的将来能够更加便捷地使用和查询包校图书馆资源，从去年开始，图书馆团队和学校IT团队已经开始着手图书馆系统升级更换的工作，目前此项工作已经进入最后一个阶段。为了保证新旧系统转换的顺利进行，我非常抱歉地通知大家，图书馆将于每周四和周五下午3点闭馆。为此给您带来的不便我们深感抱歉，同时也感谢您对我们一直以来的支持与理解。
祝您阅读愉快！

征集寄宿家庭
包玉刚实验学校小学部将在2015年6月29日到7月24日之间举办第八届包玉刚实验学校中国文化暑期活动，来自世界各地的5-11岁的以英语为母语的学生将会来到我们学校小学部学习中文，同时了解中国的文化。其中更有部分学生会选择入住寄宿家庭，与中国的家庭和同龄的朋友们分享不同的文化并结下深厚的友谊。

来自音乐组的信息
本学期音乐活动时间安排
- 所有的课前及课后音乐活动包括EP私教课都将于3月9日下周一开始上课。
- 周六音乐项目将于3月14日周六开课。
- 除了英文合唱团以及和声小合唱外，所有其他的午间音乐活动都已于本周恢复上课了。请提醒孩子们在上课的那天带上乐器及乐谱。
英文合唱团面试
目前我们已经完成了本学期英文合唱团的面试。我们觉得之前英文合唱团的人数过多了，因此决定将它精简至一个更便于管理的规模。对于这次没能成功通过面试的学生，特别是那些曾经是合唱队成员的学生来说，一定会觉得有些许遗憾。
为了确保绝对的公平、公正，我们为面试拍摄了视频录像，并一起为学生的音准及音色打了分。总分为20分，获得13分以上的孩子则被选拔进入了英文合唱团。
对于本学期没有被选入英文合唱团的学生，我们非常欢迎他们参加周五合唱团。
为表现优异的弦乐学生喝彩
部分包校的大提琴手于2月8日前往北京参加了第六届全国校园艺术特长生的评选活动 。Y3B 班的刘天安同学代表上海地区赢得了全国金奖。
Y2A班的王天博同学赢得了上海地区大提琴一等奖， Y5A 班的张适然同学则获得了大提琴三等奖。
同时，恭喜李睿浦老师荣获优秀园丁奖。
此外，5A 班的刘天佑以及5D班的吴峻豪两位小提琴学生被赠与黄蒙拉小提琴独奏音乐会的门票用以鼓励他们对小提琴的学习所付出的精力及勤奋的精神。门票是由苏文骏先生捐赠的。对于我们来说，把门票赠送给哪些学生是个相当困难的抉择，因为我们有太多优秀刻苦的学生了。
小提琴演奏会
我们诚挚地邀请大家参加著名小提琴家张洋先生在小学礼堂举办的一场小提琴演奏会。演奏会将于3月9日下周一晚上18:30开始，演出时长预计为一小时左右。
大提琴手
中国民乐团仍然需要招募两位大提琴手在下学期加入其团队。中国民乐团的排练时间为每周六上午10:00—11:00。有兴趣参加的同学请尽快联系音乐组的刘老师 。邮件地址为leef.liu@ykpaoschool.cn

游泳池维修
由于技术问题，本周游泳池暂停开发一周。我们希望3月9日下周一起，游泳池能正常开放。根据天气情况，本周各年级的游泳课时段，学生分别在体育馆或室外进行了活动。烦请家长提醒孩子下周起带好游泳包来上课。对此造成的不便，我们深感抱歉。我们正在全力进行维修。
