YEARS 3-5 LEARNING COMMUNITY The Year 3-5 Learning Community is a family that embraces all of its members. In this flexible and comfortable educational setting, students experience the joy of collaborating with those around them while learning to think critically and take decisions. Responsible, intellectual risk-taking is encouraged as students drive their own learning. As the "parents" in this big family, we give them our full support and encouragement, accompany them to meet every challenge, and watch them grow in a caring, nurturing environment.

This learning environment allows for interactions between students and teachers that model real life learning situations. Within these flexible learning spaces we can use a variety of groupings which enhances our ability to tailor to students' individual needs and fosters a true sense of collaboration.

这种学习环境允许学生和教师之间互动模拟真实的学习情境。在这些灵 动的学习空间里，我们可以灵活分组，这增强了我们根据学生的个人需 求而施教的能力，并培养了真正的合作意识。

The Year 3-5 Learning Community is an open-plan, multifunctional learning space. Teachers collaboratively, while students utilise the space both independently and in flexible groupings.

The design of the Learning Community allows students to carry out their learning in a varied manner, aiding the uptake of knowledge and diverse skills. In addition, the space facilitates the advanced development of students’ social or “soft” skills, which is highly advantageous for their progression through school and beyond.

I should stress that the nature of the Learning Community means that students thoroughly enjoy their school day and take readily to the process of learning.

3-5年级学习社区是开放的多功能的学习空间，老师的灵活组合以及孩 子们的多样化分组很自然的将学习社区空间有效利用起来。在这里，孩 子们尽情的享受着学习的乐趣，他们获得了丰富的知识和技能。值得一 提的是，孩子们的软技能在学习活动中得到很好的发展，这将让他们受 益终生。

The Learning Community model operating at YCIS Beijing supports staff and students to share physical and intellectual spaces that encourage active learning, connections across the curriculum, and the development of learning dispositions which meet the needs of their generation. The community of staff, students and parents work together to build a strong sense of belonging.

A Learning Community consists of approximately 70 to 100 students and a teaching team - both general and specialist - who work within flexible groupings and spaces. The teaching team assigned to each community collaborates consistently, sharing planning and ideas to bring greater depth, breadth and coherence to the individual learning needs of each student.

In the Learning Community environment, students have access to a wider range of educators and groupings that span different spaces.

The Learning Community model understands that we are preparing students for a future that is ever-changing and one which no one can quite fathom; however, the top skills we know they will need, and that the Learning Community helps to foster, are those of collaboration, communication and innovation. ĺ­Śäš ç¤žĺŒşć¨Ąĺź?ĺ…łćł¨ĺˆ°ćˆ‘äťŹć­Łĺœ¨ĺ&#x;šĺ…ťĺ­Śç”&#x;厝适应一个ä¸?ć–­ĺ?˜ĺŒ–çš„ćœŞć?ĽďźŒč€Œä¸”čż™ć˜Żä¸€ä¸Şč° äš&#x;ć— ćł• ćƒłčąĄçš„ćœŞć?Ľă€‚ä¸şć­¤ďźŒĺ­Śäš ç¤žĺŒşç?€ĺŠ›ĺ&#x;šĺ…ťĺ­Śç”&#x;çš„ĺ??ä˝œă€ ć˛&#x;é€šă€ ĺˆ›ć–°ç­‰éĄśĺ°–čƒ˝ĺŠ›äťĽé€‚ĺş”ćœŞć?Ľçš„礞

Each day, students will engage in activities connected to the YCIS curriculum standards that cover the core curriculum areas. These are English, Chinese, Mathematics, Social Studies and Science. Depending on the situation, this learning can be integrated; such as, students may do a report on the Nile River which would cover both historical curriculum standards and literacy curriculum standards. Other times, standards will be explicitly taught; such as a mathematics unit on fractions. ćŻ?ć—ĽďźŒĺ­Śç”&#x;éƒ˝ĺ°†ĺ?‚ä¸Žč€€ä¸­ć ¸ĺżƒčŻžç¨‹ć ‡ĺ‡†ĺź•é˘†ä¸‹çš„ĺ­Śäš ć´ťĺŠ¨ă€‚äť–äťŹćœ‰č‹ąć–‡ă€ ä¸­ć–‡ă€ ć•°ĺ­Śă€ ç¤žäźš 孌科。ĺ&#x;şäşŽäťĽä¸Šĺ­Śç§‘ďźŒĺ­Śç§‘ĺ­Śäš äš&#x;ĺ?ŻäťĽč˘Ťć•´ĺ?ˆă€‚äž‹ĺŚ‚ďźŒĺ­Śç”&#x;éœ€čŚ ĺ šä¸€äť˝ĺ…łäşŽĺ°źç˝—ć˛łçš„ćŠĽĺ‘ŠďźŒ 这䝽押告尹čž?ĺ?ˆäş†ĺŽ†ĺ?˛čŻžç¨‹ć ‡ĺ‡†ĺ’Œč‹ąć–‡čŻžç¨‹ć ‡ĺ‡†ă€‚ĺœ¨ć•™ĺ­Śä¸­ďźŒć•™ĺ­Ść ‡ĺ‡†ĺ°†č˘Ťä¸?ć–­çš„ć˜ŽçĄŽäź é€’ďźŒĺŚ‚ĺˆ†ć•°çš„ć•°ĺ­Śĺ?•ä˝?。

The learning is in alignment with the YCIS international curriculum and standards. The Learning Communities use a variety of learning materials depending on the situation and learning occurring. The spaces are outfitted with a wide range of specialized materials and many hands-on learning tools. In addition, students have access to digital resources that range from iPads to interactive whiteboards and Green Screen rooms to Apple TV areas.

During focused English learning time, students will be grouped in a variety of ways dependent on learner needs and learning objectives. For example, one may expect to see students working within flexible mixed ability groups or in small groups with specific teacher support. Our goal is for students to be able to enjoy using English and confidently express themselves in many forms in both academic and social settings.

During Chinese language lessons, students are grouped according to their Chinese language ability, either in a CFL (Chinese as a First Language) or CAL (Chinese as an Additional Language) group. From there we provide further refined levels within the CFL or CAL groups to meet the students’ various language needs.

In the large open spaces of the Learning Community, large discussions and whole group meetings often take place. In addition, students will use these spaces for dramas, presentations and sharing of work with their peers.

All Learning Community information is uploaded to the Learning Community blogs. This is the quickest way to stay abreast of what your child is learning. We also actively look to build relationships with our Learning Community parents, so coming in and speaking with the teachers is another way to keep informed and have questions answered. In addition, the students create digital portfolios to document their learning and progress made. Parents can access these online and leave comments for their child.
