It was an excellent chance to witness how responsibly our students engaged in an inquiry learning experience that was driven by their curiosity and interests.
Their independence and motivation to address the issues they found during their research were truly impressive. Their actions demonstrated the qualities of a global citizen, and we were proud of their initiative.
The students worked diligently on the action component because they understood the power of action over words and that individual and collective initiatives, along with an action plan, lay the foundation for significant changes. They understood that action is an application of learning and an opportunity for them to engage in service.
They also discovered that taking action can bring a shift in mindset, showcasing accountability or regard for oneself, others, or the environment, ultimately resulting in a dedication to engaging in further opportunities for action.
The artistic aspect was a huge success as we observed great talent among our students and their well-rounded abilities as young learners. They made artistic interpretations of their conceptual understandings showing their ability to transfer concepts from one symbolic language to another, and they also displayed the acquisition of the Approaches to learning.
The journey of the PYP exhibition was made possible by the crucial role played by teachers in guiding, supporting, and mentoring students.
We express our gratitude to all people involved for their unwavering commitment and willingness to assist grade five students in achieving their goals and developing into responsible IB students.
World Children's Day, celebrated on November 20th, is a global occasion dedicated to promoting the rights and well-being of children everywhere.
Metacognition is the process of thinking about one’s own thinking. It involves reflecting on how you come to conclusions, understanding why you think the way you do, and recognizing patterns in your thought processes. By developing an awareness of your thinking, you can learn to reduce cognitive biases or identify and reuse effective thought processes in different situations. Essentially, metacognition helps people become more intentional and effective in their actions and decision-making.
At Northbridge International School Early Learning, we believe that children's curiosity is a powerful tool for learning, sparking discoveries that help them develop important skills for life. Through loose parts play, we create an environment where children’s natural inquisitiveness shines.
What is art for? Why do artists create? What does it mean to be creative?
