ISH-Moodle

This programme enables students to develop generalisations of mathematical ideas and methods through exploration of applications, the effective use of technology, and abstract reasoning. The programme asks students to investigate relationships within mathematics and between mathematics and other subjects. Students will engage in problem solving strategies to extend core learning to a level that will deepen their mathematical knowledge and enrich their understanding.

This course encourages you to become more aware of global problems. It offers you opportunities to explore issues you are interested in; to work independently and to research on your own. It also gives you the chance to build your team-working skills of collaboration and co-operation as you work with others to explore solutions to local issues. The course is not about getting everybody to think identically; it is about finding out what others think and feel about the global issues of today, reflecting on different perspectives and taking others’ ideas into consideration. 

Course Outline

This is where we will do our LAL classes on Tuesday mornings.

This course provide all you need to prepare for your Cambridge IGCSE in French qualification. It also teaches you about the way of life of the people in the French-speaking world and about the language they speak.

This course covers a variety of topics  varying from numerical operations and properties, algebraic manipulation and handling data based on statistical correlations, recognizing patterns and structures and use special relationships.  You will learn to interpret mathematical results and understand their significance.

It also aims to develop methods of problem solving supported by both analytical and graphical techniques. To that end, an essential tool is a GDC - graphical devise-  for which the TI-84+ graphical calculator is recommended.

Economics is essentially about dealing with scarcity and the problem of resource allocation affecting individuals, firms and markets, countries, governments and societies. Although it involves the formulation of theory, it’s not a purely theoretical subject basically because economic theories can be applied to real-world. It does not exist in a vacuum, because it naturally must consider how economic theory is to be applied in an international context.

This is your end of year History examination.

The topic is: Who Started the Cold War?

The examination has 2 parts:

1. A choice of 2 "why" questions (similar to the 6 point IGCSE Paper 1 questions) from 4 options.

2. You will write a dramatic dialogue between 2 individuals who hold differing opinions about who was responsible for starting the Cold War.

You are permitted use any resources available to you (with the exception of colluding with your classmates). Be aware that your responses will be submitted to an online plagiarism check, so ensure that this is your own work and any quotations are properly cited.

Cambridge IGCSE Literature (Spanish) offers learners the opportunity to read, interpret, evaluate and respond to a range of literature in Spanish. The range includes drama, prose and poetry from different periods and cultures. This course enables learners to deepen their understanding and appreciation of the ways in which writers use Spanish to express meaning and achieve effects. Learners are stimulated to read for pleasure, to explore wider and universal issues, promoting a better understanding of themselves and the world.

Grade 10 Course Summary

Students will examine the factors that affect performance in sports. They will identify functions of the skeleton and its relevance to performance and participation in practical activities. Students should also study the different types of joints, the essential parts of joints and types and ranges of movements. They should also know the most important muscles groups and their role in movement and how they work.  Also, students should gain an understanding of what motivates people to participate in physical activities and how they prepare for exercise, understand how skills are learned, recognize that certain physiques equip people better for certain activities as well as avoiding the temptation of drugs that have detrimental effects on health and performance.

 Students will apply the principles of movement while refining movement skills. They will also demonstrate safe practices regarding the safety of themselves and others and identify the factors that contribute to positive relationships with others. Besides, grade 10 students will analyze Healthy Eating, Growth and Development, and Personal Safety and Injury Prevention.

Cambridge IGCSE Art & Design encourages a range of skills, stimulates aesthetic awareness, knowledge and critical understanding of art, and provides opportunities for learners to develop a range of skills. Crucially, a personal and independent perspective is encouraged at all times. The syllabus is designed to accommodate a wide range of abilities, materials and resources, and allows the different skills of the teaching staff to be fully used.

Course Description

Economics is an exciting, dynamic subject that allows students to develop an understanding of the complexities and interdependence of economic activities in a rapidly changing world.

At the heart of economic theory is the problem of scarcity. While the world’s population has unlimited needs and wants, there are limited resources to satisfy these needs and wants. As a result of this scarcity, choices have to be made. The economics course, at both SL and HL, uses economic theories to examine the ways in which these choices are made:

• at the level of producers and consumers in individual markets (microeconomics)

• at the level of the government and the national economy (macroeconomics)

• at an international level where countries are becoming increasingly interdependent through international trade and the movement of labour and capital (the global economy).

The choices made by economic agents (consumers, producers and governments) generate positive and negative outcomes and these outcomes affect the relative well-being of individuals and societies. As a social science, economics examines these choices through the use of models and theories. The Diploma Programme (DP) economics course allows students to explore these models and theories, and apply them, using empirical data, through the examination of the following six real-world issues which are posed as economic questions:

• How do consumers and producers make choices in trying to meet their economic objectives?

• When are markets unable to satisfy important economic objectives—and does government intervention help?

• Why does economic activity vary over time and why does this matter?

• How do governments manage their economy and how effective are their policies?

• Who are the winners and losers of the integration of the world’s economies?

• Why is economic development uneven?

WELCOME TO THE NEW ACADEMIC YEAR 2021 - 2022 !!!

ESS is a complex course, requiring a diverse set of skills from its students. It is firmly grounded in both a scientific exploration of environmental systems in their structure and function and in the exploration of cultural, economic, ethical, political, and social interactions of societies with the environment. As a result of studying this course, students will become equipped with the ability to recognize and evaluate the impact of our complex system of societies on the natural world. The interdisciplinary nature of the course requires a broad skill set from students and includes the ability to perform research and investigations and to participate in philosophical discussion. The course requires a systems approach to environmental understanding and problem solving, and promotes holistic thinking about environmental issues. It is recognized that to understand the environmental issues of the 21st century and suggest suitable management solutions, both the human and environmental aspects must be understood. Students should be encouraged to develop solutions from a personal to a community and to a global scale.

Through the exploration of cause and effect, the course investigates how values interact with choices and actions, resulting in a range of environmental impacts. Students develop an understanding that the connections between environmental systems and societies are diverse, varied and dynamic. The complexity of these interactions challenges those working towards understanding the actions required for effective guardianship of the planet and sustainable and equitable use of shared resources.

Welcome to CAS in Grade 11, her we will share ideas and plans for the continuation of CAS

Mathematics: applications and interpretation is for students who are interested in developing their mathematics for describing our world and solving practical problems. They will also be interested in harnessing the power of technology alongside exploring mathematical models. Students who take Mathematics: applications and interpretation will be those who enjoy mathematics best when seen in a practical context.

Students who wish to take Mathematics: applications and interpretation at higher level will have good algebraic skills and experience of solving real-world problems. They will be students who get pleasure and satisfaction when exploring challenging problems and who are comfortable to undertake this exploration using technology.

The language A: literature aims at exploring the various manifesta­tions of literature as a particularly powerful mode of writing across cultures and throughout history. The course aims at developing an understanding of factors that contribute to the production and reception of literature—the creativity of writers and readers, the nature of their interaction with their respective contexts and with literary tradition, the ways in which language can give rise to meaning and/or effect, and the performative and transformative potential of literary creation and response. Through close analysis of a range of literary texts in a number of literary forms and from different times and places, students will consider their own inter­pretations as well as the critical perspectives of others, to explore how such positions are shaped by cultural belief systems and to negotiate meanings for texts.
