Year 2 Superhero Day It was an exciting week for Year 2, who came to school dressed up as superheroes. They all looked amazing! It was an exciting week for Year 2, who came to school dressed up as superheroes. They all looked amazing!

Year 2 started the day with a news report showing a video from a nasty villain ‘Cyclone’ who had kidnapped Mr. Cocker during the half-term break! ‘Grammar Man’, the good Superhero, needed their help to defeat the villain and rescue Mr. Cocker.

Students (or superheroes in training) had to do some different activities to solve some problems and challenges to help give Grammar Man the strength and tools he needed to find Mr. Cocker.

They did a scavenger hunt around the school, solving clues to find mystery letters to spell out the name of the Superhero who would help. They did a maths code cracking task to find out where Mr. Cocker was hidden, and they had to complete a very tricky jigsaw to give the superhero extra powers to defeat the villain. Finally, they made individual shields to protect them from the wicked villain’s powers.

The students worked together and solved all their challenges. Who then came to thank them at lunchtime on the playground? Mr. Cocker himself! He was very grateful for the student's help.

What great perseverance and problem-solving from Year 2. Who knows what could have happened to Mr. Cocker without their help?

Message from the Head of Secondary

On the way into school this morning, I had an inspiring conversation with my daughter about traditions. She shared that the Year 13 students have been eagerly discussing ways to leave their legacy in their final year, and they’ve decided on a wonderful new tradition: the Senior School Camp. This event will give them a chance to camp overnight on the school grounds, connecting as a year group with fire pits, music, food, and memories of their time at BIS Abu Dhabi. This conversation made me reflect on why traditions matter so deeply to us all.

Message from the Head of Primary

I’ve been really looking forward to attending my first UAE Flag Day and have used it as an opportunity to learn about the flag itself. It’s been very interesting to do so, as a ‘newbie’ and it has really helped my understanding of the pride that Emiratis have in their country and its national emblems. I’ve discovered that the flag was designed in 1971 by Abdullah Mohammed Al Maainah, a 19-year-old at the time, as part of a nationwide design contest and it was adopted by the country on 2nd December 1971. The choice of colours is deeply important, and their symbolic meanings make a wonderful parallel with the work of the school and the values we seek to promote across the community:
