The BIS Abu Dhabi Science department are excited to announce the delivery of our very own hydroponic, vertical garden. Hydroponics is the act of growing plants in water and liquid nutrients, without the use of soil. This method of agriculture is particularly useful for growing crops where space is limited, and the climate only allows for limited crop growth. It's estimated by 2050 that we will need to produce twice as much food, but with population growth, space is becoming limited. Hydroponics offer a sustainable and space saving solution; the crops can be harvested much quicker and larger quantities can be produced. Students will have the opportunity to learn about hydroponic growing systems and their benefits hands on. Currently, we are growing two types of lettuce, basil, and mint, which will be harvested in approximately 3 weeks. The produce will be used for in class investigations and the basis of many healthy meals.
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.
