Attending the Silk Road Chinese Music Concert Bangladesh

 Mandarin students of MYP Year 3, 4 and DP Year 1 attended the "Silk Road Chinese Music Concert Bangladesh" organized by the Embassy of China at North-South University on 27th August 2023. This captivating experience offered Mandarin students a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the essence of China.

 


Various performances were held, ranging from traditional Chinese folk songs to Bangladeshi classical performances, coming together in a beautiful mix of cultures. The Silk Road Chinese Concert featured a wide array of performances, each more enchanting than the last. Some of the key highlights of the event included: traditional Chinese music, Chinese Opera, fusion performances, and cultural exchange. 

 


Students were treated to exquisite performances of traditional Chinese musical instruments such as the guzheng, erhu, and pipa. The melodies were hauntingly beautiful, transporting the audience to ancient China. The Chinese opera performances were a feast for the eyes and ears. One of the most remarkable aspects of the concert was the fusion of Chinese and Bangladeshi music. Collaborative performances featuring musicians from both cultures showcased the harmonious blending of diverse traditions.

 


Throughout the event, there were opportunities to engage with Chinese and Bangladeshi artists and learn about their respective cultures, traditions, and artistic expressions. This cultural exchange was both enlightening and enriching. 

 The Silk Road Chinese Concert provided numerous memorable moments. For many in the audience, it was the first time experiencing Chinese opera and the melodic sounds of traditional Chinese instruments. The collaborative performances between Chinese and Bangladeshi music demonstrated the power of music and art to bridge cultural gaps.

 The concert was an exceptional cultural experience. It allowed the Mandarin students to explore the rich heritage of both China and Bangladesh through the medium of music and opera. The fusion of these two distinct cultures showcased the universal language of art and left a lasting impression on all of us. Thanks must be given to the Embassy of China in Bangladesh and North South University for organizing this enlightening and memorable event.

Exploring Biodiversity: IB DP Year 2 Biology Students Conduct Line Transect Activity

  Recently, IB DP Year 2 biology students embarked on an exciting line transect activity on the new school field to study plant species and soil properties. This innovative method of identifying organisms within an ecosystem involves systematic sampling at regular intervals to observe and record biodiversity along a line.   Using a 10-meter rope, students examined organisms every 2 meters along the transect, identifying two plant species: Cornus serica L. and Cenchrus echinatus L. . Despite aiming to collect five soil samples for testing pH, salinity, and total dissolved solids (TDS), the experiment was interrupted by rain, limiting the collection to three samples. Another challenge was the presence of bricks in the soil, which prevented digging at one of the sites. In the lab, students measured TDS levels ranging from 18.2 to 22 ppm, salinity from 17 to 18, and pH between 7.63 and 7.68. This hands-on activity provided valuable insights into the local ecosystem within the...

TOK Presentation

  On 16th and 17th our TOK Facilitator, Mr. Sajid conducted a practice session for the upcoming TOK Exhibition in May. The TOK Exhibition is crucial in DP, especially in the first year. It contains one third of the overall TOK grade and TOK is a core component in IB. It is essential that students are well prepared for the exhibition.   For the practice session, we did not do the full run through of the exhibition. For this practice session we only had to pick one object for the prompt and theme, instead of three in the actual exhibition. We had to create a display for that one object and present it to the class and our DP Coordinator.   This has been incredibly helpful for the students, because it gives us an idea of what prompt and theme we will choose. We can see if we are comfortable with the object and are good at explaining the prompt or theme. The presentation also gave us a gist of how it will be like when we present our objects in front of a huge audie...
