Creating Cross-Curricular Opportunities for Science.
One of the aims of international education is to nurture our young people, developing them into productive, global citizens who can use their talents, knowledge and learned skills to support themselves and others. These learned skills can be seen on a day-to-day basis in the most mundane of places. What skills do you use when you make a purchase at a supermarket? Analyzing the health benefits of food, Science. Running a cost analysis in your head, Maths. Considering the implications of purchasing locally sourced goods, Geography. Seeking more information from a worker, the Languages.

Hansel & Gretel
The annual performing arts production this year was a play, led by our talented drama teacher Ms. Boon. It was decided that it would be a good year to do a play rather than a musical to give our none singing actors a chance to shine. Ms. Boon chose a dark version of Hansel & Gretel and the students have been working on the performance since September, coming in on Saturdays and staying late to put together the show. Recently more teachers were involved in painting & building the set, producing costumes, working out makeup requirements and working backstage during the event. It really has been a community effort.

Learning English is Hard, but We’re All in it Together!
Learning, acquiring and experiencing an additional language is difficult. Often we try to make sense of it using our mother tongue or we look for other connections and rules to help us make a connection with the language. But what happens when the ‘rules’ make no sense? There are approximately 250,000 words in the English language, of which about 9000 makes up 95% of our daily use. 9000 doesn’t sound that many but it is not the individual words that students have difficulty with, it is how to combine them with the other 8999 words to make sense. One of the most challenging parts of learning vocabulary is understanding what we call ‘phrasal verbs’. Many of us know the word ‘ get’, but look at some of the ways to use ‘get’ that some of our EAL students have been researching:

Head of Primary Blog - The Word Rich Get Richer, But The Word Poor Get Poorer
Last week I have been talking with our teachers about the power of vocabulary, about how we can help our students increase their vocabulary in order to be able to express themselves in the best way possible. As children grow and develop they also need to be able to describe every picture they see, to write about their lives, read about their lived reality and to speak into their lives their very hopes and dreams.

Head of Secondary Blog - Secondary School Student Leadership Roars Ahead!
I wrote briefly in my blog on the 30th August about student leadership and it is safe to say that ́student leadership becomes the topic on everyone's lips here at BCB. The act of leadership is a personal journey that involves bringing ourselves to our leadership experiences, development and learning (Haber - Curran; Tillapaugh, 2017) . One example of student leadership at BCB is the ́new ́ house captains. This year we have four cats; lions, tigers, panthers and jaguars. Student involvement in this initiative will inevitably strengthen an already tangible connection between pupils and the school ́.

Head of Secondary Blog - October 2019
The culture of learning at The British College of Brazil (BCB) is defined by a feeling that you get as soon as you walk through the school gates. It is a feeling that is not tangible but it is definitely there. When I arrived from Cambodia via Abu Dhabi thoroughly jet-lagged the very next day upon arrival I was faced with a school community that was warm, understanding and supportive.
