Mona AbdelNabi Teaching Assistant It has been a fantastic and action-packed year in 1CK. We have all worked exceptionally hard whilst having lots of fun too! Highlights have included rescuing trapped vegetables, playing parachute games in front of the pyramids and dissecting animal poop! Everyone has shown great resilience whilst not only developing a love of learning but also when taking risks. We have welcomed many new faces to the class and have demonstrated kindness and collaboration when working as a team. It has been wonderful to watch you develop your growth mindset and realise that learning is a never-ending journey. Every one of you has grown and gained so much independence and I am so proud of you all. Good luck in Year 2 and keep having lots of fun.

This year, we have blossomed into resilient learners who persevere and relish taking risks. We have shown inquisitiveness when learning about the continents and oceans of the world, determination when tackling news skills in maths, imagination when exploring the idea of superheroes (we love Supertato!) and kindness when welcoming newcomers to our class. We showed confidence performing to fellow pupils and parents at Christmas time, dressing up as woodlouse to tell the story of Christmas in a unique way. There was great excitement on our trip to the pyramids, where our risk-taking was on full display as we had a ride on a camel. Creativity abounded on Book Day and Hallowe’en where we show cased some fabulous costumes. It has been a fantastically busy year, and we are ready and excited for our next adventure – Year 2!

This year in 2IC we have set high expectations whilst having an extraordinary amount of fun! Trying our best to laugh and learn in near equal measure. We threw ourselves into our first topic, Healthy Bodies & Healthy Minds, with children working hard to come up with healthy eating routines, exercises, hygiene tips and mental health exercises to help advise our parents that joined us for the exhibition. Our Changing World topic helped us learn about changes we face such as using renewable energy and our three R’s to help tackle climate change as well as learning about courageous individuals who themselves changed the world by standing up for what they believed in such as Rosa Parks and Emmeline Pankhurst. Some highlights are also our phenomenal trip to Fagnoon as well as the hard work the children put into their Diwali Assembly! There are so many moments throughout this year that we should be proud of, but what I hope we all remember is how much our mistakes help us grow and just how much we indeed have grown in just one year!

It has been full of wonderful new experiences, celebrations, trips and assemblies. As they explored a range of new topics from Mighty Metals to Water, Chocolate to Explorers, every child has demonstrated great enquiry skills, open-mindedness, and collaboration. They have been flexible thinkers, risk takers and meta-thinkers! All the children have shown great commitment and enthusiasm to their learning, persevering when things got challenging and celebrating each other’s successes. A personal highlight for me was working with them to create their moving monsters in our Mighty Metals Design Technology work, with each child perfecting their pneumatic systems to create moving robotic heads. What great inventors you are! Well done Year 3 on a wonderful year of learning. Keep aiming high in everything that you do as your learning journey continues into Year 4! YEAR 3GN 61

The year has been full of trips, celebrations and assemblies. We have thoroughly enjoyed dressing up as characters on World Book Day and wearing our national costumes on International Day. Our star moment was when we performed our own amazing assembly on Wonderful Water, with acting, dance and song. Through our topics, from Mighty Metals, Hello H2O to Chocolate and Explorers, we have all shown confidence and perseverance to practise and improve our skills. We have collaborated in research and used our investigative minds to test hypotheses and find things out. We have been flexible thinkers, continuing to try out new things and be as creative and adaptable as we can. It has been an amazing year and I am so proud of all the success we have achieved. We have grown together and shown great commitment in becoming independent and lifelong learners.

During Term 1’s ‘Mighty Metals’ topic, we thoroughly enjoyed reading ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes alongside investigating forces and magnets in Science. Our next topic, ‘Hello H2O’, allowed us to dive deep into the Water Cycle and research the geography of rivers, while the trip to Fagnoon greatly enhanced our learning. In Term 2, we investigated the fascinating country of China and loved studying the science of sound, too, making pan pipes and string telephones to develop our understanding. Term 2 then saw us devour the fantastic topic of ‘Chocolate’. Our visit to the chocolatiers of Ganache stimulated our curiosity about chocolate-making and gave us some delicious memories to eat at home. The final topic saw us follow in the footsteps of explorers throughout history and examined the changing nature of exploration, even so far as blasting off towards the stars!

We’ve had many fantastic moments and experiences this year. We created dragon proof shields as well as learning all about the space timeline and successfully identified the lines of latitude and longitude. Not only that, we have learnt about identifying predators and prey in a food chain where the children created excellent art linked to this. 4AA also had the pleasure of understanding how a volcano erupts, how hurricanes form and what the layers of the earth are and what they mean. Moving back in time, we have learnt a great deal about Ancient Egypt and who the different Pharoahs were and making their own personalised cartouche, and not forgetting our memorable trip to the Pyramids of Giza and the Museum of Civilisation. In science, children have enjoyed discovering what fair testing is and have had a great time with all the various experiments throughout the year, in Science week in particular. During International Week, 4AA had the pleasure of discovering all kinds of tourist and cultural information about Thailand and they thoroughly enjoyed the international day events and performances.

In your Topic lessons, you have used your science skills and knowledge to test materials for a dragon proof shield; you have been scientists researching planets; geographers learning about the physical features of planets, and artists turning yourself into a pharaoh on papyrus. In Maths, you have developed your understanding and skills in key mathematical areas such as perimeter, multiplication and division, measures and fractions and decimals. A personal highlight for me was how well you courageously and whole-heartedly tackled each challenge on the Year 4 sleepover and team building day, as well as how well you looked after each other and had lots of fun together.

Grandmas are special! 94 The role of a mentor is similar to a mix of a counsellor and life coach. We use talk therapy, art therapy, story telling, play and listening in our sessions with children. We work with the child to help them overcome worries and anxieties and to help them find solutions and a new path forward. The pastoral rooms in school are magical places, they are places children come to and they are not worried to express their feelings or thoughts - they are safe and healing spaces. Our role is to support children through all emotional phases that they may go through in life.This may include moving to another country and leaving their friends behind, or it may be they are the one left behind and friends have moved on. We also support children through periods of loss that can be more serious, such as divorce or bereavement. We also support them with mental health concerns. We work with families to ensure that children receive the correct support for their needs, either in school or at an outside agency. We support teachers with positive behaviour management and facilitate restorative sessions when needed. We also have children referred to us for self esteem and confidence issues.

With 17 representatives from Year 2-6 and the Dutch Stream, our NCBIS Student Council came together to do a fantastic job this year! The representatives met weekly throughout the year to discuss ideas and issues arising, and each member showed the commitment and creativity needed to fulfill our mission statement ‘To give students a voice about the decisions affecting the school, making sure it is the best place it can be; bring out the best in everyone’. The children’s first task was to introduce themselves to the school in assembly. They all spoke confidently in front of the school, sharing their goals and aims for the year ahead. Soon after, they started putting their plans into action. First up was the ‘Blue Bands of Brilliance’ award. The school council discussed ways to make this award more accessible to all, and the new structure proved successful, with more children now receiving the coveted blue bands than before. Not only that, but they were also on hand during every assembly to help Ms Seeley give out the awards. In October, the children planned their first event to help celebrate Halloween, which involved a costume competition and parade. They enjoyed planning the event and also had the experience of judging the costumes and announcing the winners. The children took their role very seriously; it was very important for them to be fair. They thought carefully about the effort behind each costume as well as its impact. In fact, they did such a good job that Mr Chesters called upon them again to judge both poetry and costumes during ‘Book Week’! In December, the children planned and organised their first charity initiative: the shoebox appeal. They appealed for donations to be made in the form of gifts packaged up in shoeboxes for boys and girls at the orphanage in Maadi. They made a promotional video about their appeal and spoke passionately about it during assembly. The donations came pouring in, and the gifts were gratefully received. For ‘Mental Health Week’, the children planned a fun disco for the children to enjoy. They created a playlist that had everybody dancing, and they also exercised their enterprise skills by collecting donations for the disco tickets. The proceeds from the tickets were allocated to buying some new mental health books for the library. More recently, the students were involved in the ‘Ramadan Bag’ Drive asking each year group to contribute items to make charity bags for the workers in our community – a token of our appreciation. The children created some fantastic posters to promote this amongst their peers. STUDENT COUNCIL Promoting Ramadan bags with some wonderful posters. Helping to pack the Ramadan bags.
