A New Day

Recently, our grade two students made a return visit to A New Day. A New Day is an organization that provides for orphaned children, and the NISC students wanted to lend a hand. Our students took a book to share, which was good fun. We also worked with the New Day students to create a cooperative diagram. For this activity, we labeled pictures with English words. Finally, we taught our new friends "Math War" and left some cards at the center for their students to keep. The highlight of the visit was playing "Duck, Duck, Goose " with Miss Sally on the porch.

Our students made new friends, helped others, and exhibited many of the PYP learner profile traits during the visit. We plan to go back one more time this year at the end of May.

We are proud of the openness and generosity displayed by our Northbridge students at A New Day. We feel that the bridges we are building within our Phnom Penh community constitute valuable lessons for all involved.
