This term in Year 6, the students have been learning and light and sight. As part of the unit, students get the chance to dissect an eye, to study the structure in more detail and to locate the main parts of the eye. It’s a great opportunity to look at how tough the cornea is and to discuss the reasons for this. To have evidence supporting the pupil being a hole, as it changes from a black appearance to a clear one, once the front part of the eye has been removed from the back! They also get to look through the lens (when removed intact, which can be tricky) to see that everything is upside down, the way images appear on the retina.
Most of the students really enjoyed this practical lesson, having the opportunity to see the features first hand.
Nora (6 Amber)" I liked the opportunity to look inside a real eye and especially looking through the lens."
Vince (6 Amber) "I didn't know before that the pupil was just a hole. I really enjoying cutting the eye."
Doyoon (6 Amber) "I liked looking through the lens at the window and seeing everything upside down. It was the best dissection I've ever done!"

Last Thursday and Friday, our Year 5 and Year 6 students laced up their hiking boots and headed into the beautiful Buda Hills behind the school for an adventurous 10km walk.
Science Week at the British International School Budapest has been a whirlwind of discovery, excitement, and hands-on learning. Students across all year groups have immersed themselves in engaging activities designed to spark curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them.
Last week, 24 of our primary student athletes travelled to Prague to represent our school at the Under 11 Nord Anglia Global Games: Europe (NAGGE). After months of dedicated training in football and basketball, the students were eager to showcase their skills on the international stage.
