This week, Year 6 students will be dissecting a heart as part of their current science topic, ‘Animals Including Humans'. In preparation the Year 6 teachers had a session with the secondary Biology teachers who taught them the knowledge behind identifying and labelling heart components such as the different chambers and valves and how they work.
This opportunity for professional development has helped the Year 6 staff as it has given them the confidence to impart biological understanding in a more detailed way. It also provides the students with skills and understanding of topics that they will be able to transfer to their secondary science education.
In 2014 Mrs. Lowe arrived to teach at the British International School Abu Dhabi, excited to work with the Physical Education Department to implement and embed Dance within both the curriculum and the CCA programme. Schemes of work were created for FS1 to Year 9 and all PE teachers received professional development training to understand the fundamentals of Dance, to discover the importance of Dance and how movement can be creative and powerful.
Last week, Mrs. Stanier, our Head of Humanities, had the pleasure of accompanying three of our amazing students: Tia and Renad from Year 12, and Turkan from Year 10, to Houston, Texas, to take part in the NAE UNICEF summit. We were thrilled to be hosted by one of our Nord Anglia schools, The Village School in Houston, the first Child-Friendly City in the US recognised by UNICEF. The Village School is a boarding school, so the students got to experience what life was like as a boarding student there for the week.
