Extra Curricular Activities ECA Booklet Term 1
Last updated 25 August 2017 2017-2018
2
I N T R O D U C T I O N Welcome to the Extra Curricular Activities booklet from Berlin Brandenburg International School 2017/2018 Term 1. We strongly encourage all students to participate in this program as it offers a unique opportunity to meet new friends, be a risk-taker, and share and learn new passions whilst having fun! The program enables students to learn new skills and fully become part of our international school community. The ECA program aims to further open the minds and eyes of our students, to provide them with something new and challenging to look forward to. We are therefore excited to be able to offer such diverse activities as chamber music, international award, athletic activities, and many more new activities. We are very fortunate with the generosity and commitment of the BBIS staff, as well as external and volunteer instructors; however, it is sometimes impossible to offer activities all year round. This does however, provide our students with a greater opportunity to try different activities throughout the year. Sincerely yours, Felipe Buitrago

There is a two (2) week trial period where students ensure they will commit to an ECA. After the two (2) week trial period, all students will be billed for the ECA, whether they decide to continue or not. Students will not be able to attend an ECA if they haven’t registered online by the deadline. Deadline for Term 1 afterschool activity registration is Friday 1st September 2017 at 16.00.

P R I M A R Y S C H O O L S T U D E N T S IMPORTANT: All Primary School students should meet in the Cafeteria at 15.00 on the day of their ECA. Student attendance will be confirmed before the ECA Leader collects students and walks them to their activity. ECA Leaders will then walk relevant students to the Late Bus upon finishing at 16.30.
D R E S S C O D E – S P O R T A C T I V I T I E S All participants of sporting activities are expected to wear appropriate, functional clothing. Indoor activities require non-marking, clean indoor shoes.
C O M M I T M E N T A N D A B S E N C E S There is an expectation that once signed up for an activity, students attend the activity for the entire length of the term. If circumstances prevent students from continuing or coming to an activity, we ask you to inform the ECA Coordinator and the activity leader in advance.

Please email your ECA activity leader and the ECA Coordinator if your child will not be at their scheduled ECA due to sickness, absence, etc.
C O S T S The majority of ECAs will include a moderate contribution to partially cover the costs they generate. The costs for most ECAs are split into three (3) categories, and will be as follows: FREE: No up front charge – there may be some small costs involved, but it will be clearly stated in the booklet. There are a number of activities such as lunchtime ECAs that are free. PAID: Up front charge – all paid ECAs should be invoiced within the first three (3) weeks of them commencing, (by the 22nd of September 2017 for Term 1). Most ECAs fall under this category. Term 1: 100 Euros for ECAs taking place 2 or 3 times per week 60 Euros for ECAs taking place once per week Term 2: 90 Euros for ECAs taking place 2 or 3 times per week 50 Euros for ECAs taking place once per week Term 3: 90 Euros for ECAs taking place 2 or 3 times per week 50 Euros for ECAs taking place once per week EXTERNAL: Up front charge direct from the instructor (not the school).

External instructors will provide you with a contract to complete and inform you directly of the payment details. C A N C E L L A T I O N S If your child started an ECA and does not want to continue beyond the first two weeks, you can withdraw without costs. To withdraw, you need to send an email cancellation to the ECA Coordinator. L A T E B U S I N F O R M A T I O N There is no additional fee required for extra buses that run exclusively for ECAs that finish at 16.30.

– Payment category: External – Grade levels: Age 0-10 – Activity leader: Kristin Perry – Contact email: [email protected] – Days: Saturday, 23 September 2017 – Time: 10:00 – Duration: one day – Costs: €10 – Limit: Unlimited – Location: Park am Gleisdreieck (south of Potsdamer Platz)
Description: The BMW Berlin Marathon offers the Bambini running series for elementary school children in Berlin. The races will be held on Saturday, 23 September beginning at 10:45. The race is held at the Park am Gleisdreieck (south of Potsdamer Platz).
The idea behind the Bambini Running series is “Kids love to move”. Kids are to be introduced to sports through play. Running as the basis of movement is a great way to start. After taking their first steps, children explore the world around them by walking and running.
The Bambini Running series offers the perfect space for kids to continue to develop their natural desire to move: Kids can come together with their friends and families and have fun being active in sports at seven different running events. They can participate in one Bambini race or as many as they want, they can come prepared or just come as they are and they can run as fast or slow as they want. Whatever they want, no times will be kept, no rankings listed – it is just about having fun!
The Bambinis thus experience sport as something unstressed and positive. And without even noticing it, they are learning values through sport such community, fairness, continuity, self-initiative and self-confidence, taking their own personal development one step further.
The first race begins at 10:45. We will meet at 10:00 for a team photo, location TBA (most likely will be the corner of Obentrautstr./Moeckernstr.) Parents are responsible for transport to and from the park and must supervise their children at all times. All runners should wear their BBIS sport clothes.
The Bambini races (either 600m or 1000m) are for children up to 10 years old. The age groups are as follows:
Age 0-4y 600m
Age 5-6y 600m
Age 7-8y 1000m
Age 9-10y 1000m
All runners receive a certificate and medal (upon completion of the race). We will need parents to help organize the runners and maintain a meeting point for after the races. Please let me know if you are
Parents can run with their children in this age group strollers/baby carriers included

This course seeks to introduce students in the basics of creative writing. This course will provide a space for beginner writers to come together to exchange their work and give each other feedback. Participants will be asked to bring a text, which will be read aloud during the class and commented in the group. This practice of reading in front of others aims at helping participants gain more confidence about their own writing as well as it gives them the opportunity to encounter first hand the reaction of the reader. Through the practice of giving each other feedback, participants will learn to detect what elements do and don't work in a story. The second part of the session will be dedicated to performing different kinds of writing exercises, aimed at gaining speed, helping with the usual writer's block, prompting ideas and finding one's own tone and voice. Small excerpts from important texts will also be read in the session in order to show by matter of example what the elements that make up a good story are, how to develop strong characters and construct a coherent storyline.
Valentina Ramona de Jesús (Colombia/Australia) graduated from the IB school Mahindra United World College of India. She studied Cultural Studies and Philosophy at the Jacobs University Bremen and finished her Master's degree in Comparative Literature at the Freie Universität Berlin.

Don’t despair, help is at hand! Perhaps you need to think about joining the Get Organised Group (GOG). We are a student self help group, which focuses on teaching young people the necessary skills to improve their personal organisational skills, both academically and personally. All members join on a voluntary basis and not because either their teachers or parents force them to! All members need to already recognise that they have a problem with their personal organisation, but are now self motivated to do something about this. The group in the past has helped many students to remember their homework, keep their rooms tidy and improve their grades. Our new members’ first organisational challenge will be to remember to just turn up on time for our first meeting! For more information, please contact Mr. Gregory (Head of School Counselling & Secondary School Counsellor) via [email protected] (Room 3115, Haus 3), Tel. 033203 8036 320.

She is a passionate and experienced vocal coach and teaches at the „Singakademie zu Berlin“ and at BBIS. Functional voice training is an approach, which reduces pressure in the production of sound to a minimum, while consistently orientating itself towards the body’s natural physiological functioning. A new relationship between sound and body allows a rich, self- sustaining sound to develop, as well as great flexibility and assurance while music- making or speaking.

Johannes Haage ELECTRIC & ACOUSTIC GUITAR, ELECTRIC BASS
Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, Johannes Haage started playing music on violin from age 5, but switched to guitar about eight years later. As a high-school exchange student in Portland, Oregon he started playing jazz regularly and continued to do so back home. He started his college education at the Folkwang Hochschule in Essen, but soon transferred to Berlin to successfully finish his studies with Diplomas both in music performance (popular and classical) and education at the Hochschule für Musik Hanns Eisler.
Over the years his travels playing and studying music took him to places like the Center of the Arts in Banff, Canada, and New York City where he had the chance to play with and deepen his studies with Bill Frisell, Brad Shepik, Ben Monder, Mark Turner, Dave Douglas, Drew Gress, Ralph Alessi and many others. In Berlin he has been a very active member of the vital music scene since moving there in 2002, playing with many different musicians like Ben Kraef, Philipp Gropper, Richard Koch, Oli Steidle, the SLOWTRIO w/ Simon Bauer & Brendan Dougherty, Diego Pinera, Christian Ugurel and many more. The Johannes Haage Trio, featuring Andreas Lang on bass and Sebastian Merk on drums, released the critically acclaimed album „Johannes Haage Trio plays Marlene Dietrich“ on Meta Records in late 2010. Besides the many loose collaborations and gigs as sideman he currently enjoys very much playing in a collaborative Trio with bassist Matthias Pichler and drummer Joe Smith, who released their debut Album "Drift" in 2016 on shoebill music. Johannes has taught instrumental music lessons professionally for nearly twenty years and has been part of the BBIS Co-Curricular music staff for the last ten. Regardless of the level of a student and style of music in focus, his goal in teaching is always to inspire the students’ own inherent creativity via improvisation, composition and playing with other musicians, but also to give the student a solid foundation in instrumental technique, music theory, music notation and the stylistic history of the instrument. He has been coordinating the Co-Curricular Music Program since 2015. Contact: Johannes Haage [email protected] 0179 520 61 49
