Sorry for being too late to post the activities... My computer was broken and I couldn't access to my computer.
In Moscow, It was saying that it's not winter even though temperature was about 1 or 2. Compare to where I was used to live, Japan, IT IS VERY COLD and it's winter. However according to my experience of 2 years Moscow life, it's not. I feel like the time of first snowing getting later and later. When I came here, in October, almost everywhere was almost covered by snow, but now, it's not even covered in early December. I feel global environment is getting serious and serious recently...
Anyways, in past 2 weeks, I did several activities, and I am putting all here.
<Photographyy>
Since it's christmas time so that decoration and view are pretty awesome, I took/ asked to take photos and edited them later!I love Moscow winter because it's warm inside and cold only outside. Outside view is cool. In spring, or fall, roads are duty, trush everywhere, not good weather... etc. However in winter, it is like almost all what I can see is white, and since I've never lived these areas, I am quite surprised at when I see it as a first time.
This picture is with my best friend, living in a next building where I am living and taken by Shun. He is good at taking photos from his own angle, but I asked him to include the little tree behind us because I wanted to make it my cas work and I though I can use contrast of magniture of me and Momoko and the tree. I think it worked quite well enough to say it's a good picture!
This left picture is inside my apartment, is located in the ground floor. My apartment is used hotel and office as well, therefore in winter there are lots of decoration there.
I think it is good looking but no more than last year. The colour of the decoration varied by a year, for 2012-2013 it's white. (Last year, it was red.)
I tried some effects to make it look beautiful, and finally decided the one brownish. I hope it now looks good!
I believe that I've met several learning outcomes;
Increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
Developed new skill
Worked collaborativelly with others
<Exam skills board>
In psychology, me and my classmates wrote some skills to pass the IGCSE which we passed last year. I wrote "DO PAST PAPER! IT WILL HELP YOU A LOT!" and decorated the paper! Since last year, I almost did all the pastpapers that I can get for each subjcts. And obvsiously, they helped my a lot, because there are always some same style questions. We'll get an exam week in a week, so I think I will look at some papers and try under the exam condition!
Hope it would help year 10 and 11 as well.
Learning outcomes are;
- Considered the ethial implications of actions
- Undertake new challenges
- Increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
- Developed new skill
<Mission Statement>
In CAS session, teacher asked us to help the school out by making mission statement. In it, we have to include what the school trying to do, how the teachers educate and teach us and so on. It took half of the lesson, and me and Haruka think of many ideas but this is what we came up finally.
"Bis Moscow focuses on not only education, but also improving students everyday life and future. The school encourages the students to have world wide views so they can meet to increasing the worlds demands of international people. The school provides the best environment for students to be flexible, open minded and international."
Unfortunately, we weren't chosen for the winners, I believe it was nice opportunity to try it once!

- Undertake new challenges
- Planned and initiative ativities
- Considered the ethial implications of actions
- Engaged with issues of global importance

<English tutor>
In two weeks, I did tutor twice. My student is now able to read short sentences a bit faster than the speed she was used to. It's nice that her English improved, I feel good about that because I think that what I've done, making efforts of teaching, thinking of good explanation and etc were all significant.
I will have it tomorrow as well, and I hope it's still enjoyable lesson because the questions are getting harder and harder.
Learning outcomes are;
- Increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
- Developed new skill
- Planned and initiative activities
- Considered the ethical implications of actions
- Engaged with issues of global importance
<Ice cream lover>
On Friday, my sister's friend came to my place and did sleepover. She is really close to my family, and I thought I can do something special to welcome her.
I was told not to use eggs by my mom, so I tried to make maccha icecream for my little sisters.
maccha is a Japanese traditional tea that made from powder. It's really bitter if you drink it in traditional style which is only mix of hot water and the powder, so we normally make really sweet sweets to support taste. (we DON'T put any sugar in. It's Russian style.) However, it is only common for traditional area such as Kyoto or Nara, and not for casual home. I sometimes put the powder into the cookies and cakes, so that it tasts awesome, not too bitter but maccha taste. It especially works good when I make sweet sweet sweets. Anyways, I made maccha icecream and they liked it. It was already empty within 12hours! I liked it too so I think I will make it someday again!
Hope you can see their face, they are too shy or maybe too foolish to be seen in picture! haha
Learning outcomes are;
<Hockey>
There were two hockey practices in the period and also one match with France team!
I goaled twice and we won 9-2 or something. I was glad that I could do that because I've only done once since I started. I hope it will make 3months of my hockey life better.
Leaning outcomes are;
- Increase awareness of my strengths and areas for growth
- Developed new skill
- Planned and initiative ativities
I think I've witten everything that I have now. Thanks for reading such a long long post!
