They successfully navigated the waterways searching for signs of wildlife that call this habitat their home – they were lucky enough to spot different species of herons, crabs and hundreds of fish hiding amongst the interesting root system!
Putting their geography skills into practice, the students were able to identify a wide range of different physical and human features and discussed the impact that we have on the natural environment. It was interesting to learn that the mangroves are a ‘carbon sink’ (meaning they absorb and store carbon dioxide) and act as a nursery to approximately 80% of fish species.
Very well done Year 5! The kayak guides were so impressed with your curiosity and prior knowledge. You displayed immense resilience and excellent communication skills while kayaking, it wasn’t easy to synchronise paddling with your partner so you didn’t end up going round in circles!
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.
