Dear parents,
We’d love to meet you in person, but while that is not possible we are excited to invite you to our very first Virtual Coffee Afternoons.
On Tuesday 11th August our IGCSE results for Cambridge examinations arrived and once again we are so proud of our students’ achievements. A very well deserved ‘well done’ to all in Year 11!
Being part of HMUN Dubai’s first conference was definitely a new and inspiring experience. We have gotten a taste of MUN in a completely different format whilst being in the biggest committees BST has ever participated in, ranging from 50 to 100 delegates in one zoom conference!
As an Early Years teacher, I am often asked by parents at the end of the school year, what can they do to support their child over the summer holidays, what app? or workbooks should they buy? or how can they make sure their child is ready for the next school year. The answer I give may sound very simple, but is all too often overlooked - just let them play!
We have all now been at home since the 16th March in this most unique of times. As humans, we are generally sociable and like the company of others and so this period of self-isolation and lockdown for the past 11 weeks has caused many of us to do things differently in our lives.
We are delighted to announce that Dr André Nel will be the next Principal at The British School of Tashkent (BST). He will be joining us at the start of the new academic year in August 2020.
Virtual learning has become the new normal at BST over the past few weeks and as teachers, students and parents can attest, the process has been very rewarding as well as challenging and frustrating for all concerned. Both students and teachers alike should be commended for adjusting to this new form of school life so quickly and so positively.
Developing new skills and hobbies is a wonderful way to further support your child’s learning. Stuck for ideas? Read our blog with top tips from our teachers and ideas from some of our colleagues for creative outlets that children of all ages can enjoy at home.
Today we have drawn “The reflection of the city in the water”. The students learnt how to draw the different photographs, pictures and answered the questions: Look at the pictures and say how does the water reflect the city? What can you say about the sky in each picture? What kind of materials has the artist used: paint, crayons or coloured pencils? After that, we tried to challenge ourselves by depicting smooth transitions between colours in the reflections between water and sky.
Over the two weeks, Year 1 children have been learning about time. The students made paper clocks, that helped them tell the time to the hour and the half-hour. They explored different units of time such as seconds, minutes and hours. Despite the physical school closure, the children continue to stay active and engaged.
EYFS have been busy this week painting rainbows to place in their windows.The children did this to cheer up people who walked passed. These paintings are meant to offer a message of hope to the public during this coronavirus lockdown.
Well done to all the EYFS Children at BST
