On Thursday morning, the Year 1 team invited parents into school to attend a Mathematics workshop.
We introduced parents to the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach that we use to teach Maths at BIS Abu Dhabi, allowing parents to get a better insight into the types of activities their children use in Maths lessons at school and how children progress and deepen their understanding of Mathematical concepts using the CPA approach. Parents left the workshop with some ideas for practical activities and concrete apparatus that they could use to help support their children at home.

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.
