While Last Kids on Earth is populating Netflix lists, leverage the love for them by getting your child into the book series. The Last Kid's on Earth June's Wild Flight by Max Brailler is out now and is the latest in the series.
Dav Pilkey of Captain Underpants fame is now churning out books to appeal to silly puppy lovers. #8 Dog Man Fetch-22 dropped in December but your kids may have missed it since waiting lists were long.
Lastly, Jeff Kinney's latest Diary of a Wimpy Kid is out and titled Diary of a Wimpy kid : Wrecking Ball. It is number 14 in the series but can be read out of order. It isn't that new (November 2019) but again, such a popular title was probably checked out at the school library and Diary readers are always willing to re-read.
On Wednesday, 20th November, our school community came together to celebrate and acknowledge World Children's Day, with this year’s theme on ‘The Future Changed Child’. The day began with a powerful moment of unity, as we gathered onto the school field to form a large "WCD" for a group photo, while our Primary School students sang *‘We Are the World’* under the direction of Miss. Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
In an increasingly interconnected world, Third Culture Kids (TCKs) stand out as true citizens of the globe. These remarkable individuals grow up immersed in diverse cultures, often living outside their parents’ home country, which shapes them in unique ways.
Nord Anglia Education’s latest INSIGHTS article delves into the fascinating lives of TCKs, exploring their strengths, challenges, and the crucial role schools and parents play in supporting them. Adding a personal touch to this global discussion, our very own BIS Abu Dhabi parent, Sobia, shares her experience of raising three TCKs in Abu Dhabi. Her reflections bring a heartfelt perspective to the complexities of identity, belonging, and resilience.
This week, BIS Abu Dhabi joined the global celebration of World Children’s Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness of children’s rights and empowering young people to share their voices. Marking the adoption of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the day serves as a reminder that children’s rights are universal, non-negotiable, and essential for building a better future.
This month, I had the privilege of delivering assemblies alongside Sajid Latif to our Secondary students on the important topic of neurodiversity and hidden disabilities. This subject is particularly close to my heart and is a key focus within our EDIB (Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging) framework.
