On Monday 12th February we welcomed Amy Christman back to BISB as our Juilliard Music Specialist. During Amy’s visit, she worked with a range of classes to learn more about how we implement Juilliard activities to support students learning. Amy worked directly with a group of Year 2 students allowing them to get expressive with both movement and instrumental timbres to create a short composition that represented a journey of water. She observed a Juilliard lesson with Year 8 on the evolution of dance forms in the Baroque period to the Romantic Period and how composers around the World have brought us the many musical styles of today. Amy also observed a Juilliard lesson with Year 3 students learning about how Beethoven created contrast in articulation to define and develop his three main themes in his 5th Symphony and students in Year 6 learning about blues musicians using the expressive qualities of the blues scale to create call and response patterns. Following on from the lesson observations and demonstrations, Amy led a professional development session with the Music department to build on their knowledge and understanding of how Juilliard can support classroom Music making. It was a successful day and we look forward to continuing to work with Amy, virtually during the rest of this academic year.

Year 12 have been spending a lot of time in Sports Hall One over the last week. Not doing sport, although they could tell you the science behind it…
There was a fun packed programme for the secondary students remaining on-site, which followed the 5 Co-Curricular strands. Students were immersed in languages, film-making, STEAM activities and cooking. They learned about children's rights and advocacy, and showed their creative talents through artwork. They hiked in the hills and formed friendships across year groups. See the Firefly page for further details and photographs
It has been a very memorable end of the primary journey for our Year 6 students. This last week of term has been jam packed. On Monday and Tuesday, the students performed the end of year production of ‘Olivia’, on Tuesday morning, there was a year group water fight and on Wednesday afternoon, they finally graduated with a special ceremony.
As a community, we've been actively promoting healthy eating habits through our weekly articles about life in the kitchen. With the summer holidays just a few days away and the heatwave this summer, we must all be more mindful of our fluid intake.
