To launch the unit, students joined a flight simulation to Manaus, in Brazil, soaring high above the Amazonian Rainforest- what a view!

Replicating the characters’ misfortune in the opening chapter, their plane then lost control and crash-landed into the dark depths of this incredible biome.

Leaving the plane, in a hurry, students then solved clues around the school leading them to items associated with adventures from the story.

What a great way to start! Year 6 cannot wait to continue the story and join Fred, Lila, Max and Con on their adventure - four young children lost in the Amazon Rainforest, how will they survive?

Come along and follow as Year 6 take over the BIS Abu Dhabi Twitter account bis_ad over the next three weeks.

Celebrating World Children's Day at BIS Abu Dhabi

On Wednesday, 20th November, our school community came together to celebrate and acknowledge World Children's Day, with this year’s theme on ‘The Future Changed Child’. The day began with a powerful moment of unity, as we gathered onto the school field to form a large "WCD" for a group photo, while our Primary School students sang *‘We Are the World’* under the direction of Miss. Keane on the piano and Mr. Quigley orchestrating away. This heartfelt performance highlighted the spirit of collaboration and hope for a brighter future for children everywhere.
