On Wednesday, 6 March, middle school students participated in their IMYC Unit #4 Entry Point learning activities. The purpose of the Entry Point is to establish the new unit Big Idea and invite students to consider its significance. The ‘Entry Point’ forms the beginning part of the IMYC Process of Learning, and aims to kick off a new unit of learning in a fun, hands-on and enjoyable way.
Big Idea: Beliefs and customs from the past have a powerful effect on our lives today
Even a little rain couldn’t hold us back from a trip to UNESCO World Heritage Site Kinderdijk! Grade 7 students enjoyed a trip out of the classroom, only 30 minutes south of school, to explore the over 700 year history of Dutch water management. Students began with an introductory video explaining the history of Kinderdijk and the many disputed stories of how Kinderdijk got its name! Then, students went on a tour through the “grachten” (canals) of Kinderdijk to view the 19 “windmolen” (windmills) along the region, including 2 museums explaining how the Dutch inhabited and worked the mills.
“It was cool to think about the traditions that the Dutch had a long time ago, and how they have continued all of these years. Not only that, but they have improved their traditions, so that they are now very well known for these traditions.” --- Meredith
“The trip was very fun. It was interesting to see the windmills from the inside.” --- Felix
We are excited to announce the launch of the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) — a dynamic alternative for students seeking a more career-focused path to graduation.
At Nord Anglia International School Rotterdam (NAISR), one of our biggest responsibilities is to prepare students for a global future. Whatever a young person’s ambitions may be – and wherever these aspirations may take them – it’s our job, as holistic global educators, to equip them with the skills, knowledge, and values to get where they want to go.
Parents of Secondary School students are invited to join our next FREE online Parent Education Presentation and learn more about the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP).
