Reading is the basis of so much of our learning at Northbridge International School Cambodia, and is essential for success, both academically and in the wider world. We want to equip our children with the foundational skills to allow them to be able to learn in a transdisciplinary way.

As well as working at Northbridge International School Cambodia, I’m also a parent, and I know how hard it is to establish a routine at home. So hard, that I often ask myself if routines are really necessary. It’s so easy to go with the flow! But is this really best for our children, or do routines help them?

We hope to see you all in the Northbridge International School Cambodia library this week to get your noses stuck in some of these great new titles aimed at our Primary students.

This year, Northbridge International School Cambodia students in Primary school have enjoyed a variety of trips and experiences to enhance their learning. Educational field trips are an important part of the school’s overall co- and extra-curricular program. They play an integral role in students’ learning and we are committed to finding new and engaging places to visit as well as inviting people in to speak to our students so that their understanding can deepen regarding a particular topic or issue.

Four carefully selected students from Northbridge International School Cambodia Grades 5 and 6 were invited to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston for the 2019 STEAM Week. Bella and Raina in Grade 5 and Nita and Jemma in Grade 6 travelled with Ms Miri for over 24 hours to attend this event.

A few weeks ago, our Grade 5 students successfully presented to the Northbridge International School Cambodia community the culmination of their Primary school learning through the PYP exhibition.

As I was reading 'Lifelong Kindergarten: Cultivating Creativity through Projects, Passion, Peers, and Play' by Mitchel Resnick, a professor at the world-renowned MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), I came across a part that intrigued me and made me stop and think about our students here at Northbridge International School Cambodia.

The Northbridge International School Cambodia PYP Exhibition, which will be held this year on Thursday 4 April, is the culminating, collaborative experience in the final year of the Primary Years Programme (PYP).

It has been a fabulous year for Northbridge International School Cambodia Primary students, and so many of them have signed up to be risk-takers and participate in Young Athletes of Phnom Penh (YAPP). As our city continues to grow, YAPP has now been divided into two divisions, North and South. Northbridge is the main home base for the North division, hosting events for CIA, East-West, Hope and Logos. Over the school year, there are been five main YAPP events where our students have demonstrated some of their excellent athletic ability as well as sportsmanship.

One of the transdisciplinary themes that all Grades at Northbridge International School Cambodia inquire into each year is named How We Express Ourselves. It is defined by the IB as, “An exploration of the way which we discover and express our nature, ideas, feelings, beliefs, and values through language and the arts.”

As a Northbridge International School Cambodia parent, are you ever stuck wondering how to help your child strengthen and deepen their mathematical understanding?

Play comes naturally to children. There is vast research that states it’s the most powerful way for children to learn. At Northbridge International School Cambodia, we provide a ‘play-based’ curriculum in Early Learning, creating many opportunities for our children to explore, engage and be curious about the world around them and who they interact with.
