In April, our Early Learning 2 programme moved from being a half-day programme to a full day programme. This change was welcomed by our parents and our students and it has been wonderful to see how our youngest students have adapted to the change. Here are some thoughts from Ms Natalie our EL2 teacher.
On the 2nd of April, Early Learning 2 started full-day classes. There was great excitement in the class that first day as the children raced to get their mattresses to sleep on.
They proudly went to their cubbies and pulled out their blankets and pillows and made their own beds. It is the first time I have seen children excited to go to sleep.
After the beds were made, it was time for their first lunch together. Although they have a snack together every day this had a different feel.
It was now official that they belonged with the "big" children in the school because eating lunch at school meant that they were staying as long as the other bigger students.
After their nap, they were woken up by the sounds of "Down by the Bay" which caused everyone to laugh and wake up in a good mood. It was a wonderful day for all of us!
Now that we have followed the new routines for a month, we can see how well they have transitioned showing us what a success the full day programme is.
When people think about leadership, what often comes to mind are the concepts of power, decision making, delegating and innovation. Seldom does one think about care, empathy, kindness, and generosity – however these traits that highlight the emotional skills for successful and effective leadership, including by students at Northbridge International School Cambodia, are just as important.
What are the Primary Arts all about? Is it just a load of fun and messing around? It is fun, which is why we love it but there is so much more to the programme than some people might think.
Take a visit to our early learning spaces at Northbridge International School Cambodia, both inside and out, and you will observe a wealth of play activities happening. Students are interacting in playing on their own (solo play), playing with the same thing or in the same space (mirrored play) or sharing together (collaborative play).
