This was not so much about presenting curriculum content to them; rather an opportunity to give students a taste of the IB Diploma Programme at BIS Abu Dhabi and an understanding of the skills and learning styles that are fundamental to an IB education.
Students worked collaboratively on activities based around the six subject groups: Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Science, Mathematics, and the Arts. The day involved scientific investigative work, learning the basics of sign language, data analysis and lively discussions surrounding the portrayal of women in advertising. The focus shifted to the Core on Day 2, with students experiencing their first ever Theory of Knowledge lesson and taking part in a carousel of short sessions to learn about CAS, the Extended Essay and university research, culminating in a Q&A session with current and former IB Diploma students.
To round off events and mark the end of Year 11 and iGCSE’s, all students were treated to a bowling trip and pizza in the IB Academy. Students were engaged throughout, and staff are already looking forward to working with this year group in the Senior School next year.
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.
