On Monday, 13th June Year 10 students began their exploration of their new topic: Developmental Psychology, by learning about 5 key areas of the brain.

Students worked together to produce 5 mini-knowledge dumps regarding the forebrain, midbrain, hindbrain, cerebellum and medulla. Some of them even used shower caps to create a life-size diagram of where these 5 regions are located. Next, they will learn about how the brain forms neural connections that help the way we develop an understanding of the world.

Parents, feel free to quiz the students on what they have learnt about these five areas of their brain!

Message from our Head of Secondary

Life is full of questions - some small and simple, others profound and life-shaping. At BIS Abu Dhabi, we believe asking the right questions is key to growth, discovery, and future success.

This term, our students have been reflecting on big questions:
- What do I want to do when I’m older?
- Where do I want to go to university?
- What GCSEs should I study to help me achieve my goals?
- Should I pursue a BTEC pathway or the IB Diploma Programme in Senior School?

These are not easy questions, but it’s not about having all the answers now - it’s about being brave enough to ask them.

Message from the Head of Primary

In my experience, Term 2 is always a productive part of the year. By this point, relationships between adults, teachers, and students are well-established, routines and expectations are firmly in place, and the children have settled into their classes.
