From the moment we arrived at the park, the students were engaged and enthusiastic about learning. We started by exploring the various exhibits showcasing the plant and animal life found in the UAE. The children were fascinated by the different types of cacti and succulents on display, and they asked many thoughtful questions about the animals native to the region. We also had the opportunity to participate in a guided tour of the park, led by the ‘Park Rangers’, where we learned even more about the plants and animals that call the UAE home.
Throughout the trip, we were impressed with how respectful and considerate the students were towards each other and the environment. They were careful not to touch or disturb any of the plants or animals we encountered, and they made a conscious effort to keep the park clean and tidy.
Overall, the trip to Umm Al Emarat Park was a huge success, and we are so proud of how well the students represented our school. They were enthusiastic, engaged, and respectful, and they came away from the experience with a newfound appreciation for the natural beauty of the UAE as well as an understanding of how plants and animals survive throughout the UAE.
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.
