Hello everyone,
My name is Chitrangada but all my friends and teachers call me Chitra as they find my full name is very difficult to pronounce. I am in Year 3. I am 7 and 1/2 years old and was born in India. I joined BIS Abu Dhabi in FS1 in 2015. My older brother Yuvraj joined in 2012 and he is now in Year 6F.
My favorite subjects are Maths and Science. I have a really nice teacher, Mrs Bronagh Crampton. She is very funny and is really good at Maths. I have had a good teacher every year I’ve been at BIS Abu Dhabi.
I love swimming, knitting, drawing and dancing. Every time I come to school it feels like I’m coming to a huge family. Some of the things I have done since being at BIS Abu Dhabi:
• Participated in BIS Abu Dhabi Duathlon, came 3rd in 2018
• Got an award for reading and writing
• Been on lots of cool school trips.
Did I tell you that in the first week of Year 3 I was the star of the week for my computing skill?
I have always wanted to be an actress because I love dancing and acting since I was very small. When I get older, I would like to study at a good drama and acting school.
I am so lucky to be at BIS Abu Dhabi. I am having lots of opportunities and I hope the things I am learning will help me to be a great actress one day in the future.
Chitrangada, Year 3.
It’s something I’ve believed for a long time — that learning isn’t predetermined by our genes. It’s about growing, persevering, and learning through the process. I was really mindful of this idea at this week’s wonderful Primary Summer Concert, after which I found myself reflecting on whether these amazing children have an innate talent, or whether they have achieved so much because of hard work and practice.
I believe it’s the latter. These children, their parents, and their teachers all seem to share the belief that by trying and working hard, they will get better at what they do. This is what we call a growth mindset.
This week at BIS Abu Dhabi, we have had the joy of celebrating both ends of the school journey and it has been a beautiful reminder of how we support our students to dream big and grow into their future selves.
As exam season unfolds, there's a special kind of stillness that settles over the school. In the quiet hum of the examination hall, behind the rustle of papers and the soft clicking of keyboards, is a profound truth: we are witnessing a moment that our students will carry with them forever. It is the culmination of years of learning, growth, and perseverance, a chapter closing and a new one ready to be written.
