Year 2 started the day with a news report showing a video from a nasty villain ‘Cyclone’ who had kidnapped Mr. Cocker during the half-term break! ‘Grammar Man’, the good Superhero, needed their help to defeat the villain and rescue Mr. Cocker.
Students (or superheroes in training) had to do some different activities to solve some problems and challenges to help give Grammar Man the strength and tools he needed to find Mr. Cocker.
They did a scavenger hunt around the school, solving clues to find mystery letters to spell out the name of the Superhero who would help. They did a maths code cracking task to find out where Mr. Cocker was hidden, and they had to complete a very tricky jigsaw to give the superhero extra powers to defeat the villain. Finally, they made individual shields to protect them from the wicked villain’s powers.
The students worked together and solved all their challenges. Who then came to thank them at lunchtime on the playground? Mr. Cocker himself! He was very grateful for the student's help.
What great perseverance and problem-solving from Year 2. Who knows what could have happened to Mr. Cocker without their help?
As we approach the end of a vibrant academic year filled with events, achievements, and memorable moments, I am delighted to share some fantastic news with you all. Our school has been honoured with not one, but two prestigious awards in recognition of our commitment to parent engagement: the MENA Parent Partnership Award and the ADEK Best Parent Engagement Award.
Read on to discover how these awards celebrate our collaborative culture, highlight parent-school partnerships, and support meaningful improvements for our students.
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.
