Dear Parents, Welcome to my second weekly newsletter. In an attempt to effectively communicate with all our community this newsletter, and those from now on, will be in both English and Portuguese, so do keep scrolling for your preferred language.

Students at The British College of Brazil, part of the global Nord Anglia Education family of schools, are celebrating today after receiving their long-awaited IGCSE results early this week.

We are restarting our new academic year and our teachers prepared a message for our Primary pupils!

And finally, we start the academic year of 2020/2021!

As we are currently running as a virtual school and in public isolation, it is important to keep doing things that are different, educational but also fun. Therefore, we will continue to send students and parents a weekly challenge that students can do either alone or together as a family. This is completely informal and voluntary but it could give you ideas for creative and fun things to do at home.

Trabalhando o gênero "Poema" nas aulas, os alunos de Português da Mrs. Marcia Mendes McLean aproveitaram o isolamento social que vivemos para desenvolver o olhar crítico e produzir arte.

This week in Secondary we launched Project Based Learning* (PBL) which is heavily influenced by the approach taken by STEAM and the collaboration NAE has with The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

In Year 5 we have many talented students. Including musicians, artists, athletes, singers; among many others.

We are delighted to share that our student from Cidade Jardim in Year 2, Sua Lee, has won the COBIS Art Competition 2020, under the KS1 category!

We had a special celebration of Design & Technology at the end of February. All classes on both campuses took part in projects linked to their Creative Curriculum learning and worked individually and collaboratively to design and make a variety of different products.

The annual performing arts production this year was a play, led by our talented drama teacher Ms. Boon. It was decided that it would be a good year to do a play rather than a musical to give our none singing actors a chance to shine. Ms. Boon chose a dark version of Hansel & Gretel and the students have been working on the performance since September, coming in on Saturdays and staying late to put together the show. Recently more teachers were involved in painting & building the set, producing costumes, working out makeup requirements and working backstage during the event. It really has been a community effort.

Join us next week for information open evenings and discover your child's gateway to the best universities around the world.

The Nord Anglia Performing Arts Festival is a highlight of the year for some of our students. Why? Because for those that choose to attend it is a chance to spend a week doing what they love most - the performing arts!

Students from Year 4-6 recently took part in the ISL (International Schools League) Futsal competitions hosted by our friends at St. Francis's college. Teams competed against opposition from St Francis, St Nicholas, and St Pauls and gave a great account of themselves.

The Global Games, The Americas, is an exciting 5-day program packed with sports competitions, activities and the chance to make new friends from Nord Anglia’s schools across the region.

Every Nord Anglia international school supports its students to achieve more than they may have thought possible. We believe there is no limit to what students can achieve socially, personally and academically. Last year, our students’ academic results reflected our shared commitment to excellence in this area.

On Tuesday 25th June, Year 2 went to Inventolandia, a museum full of inventions!

The STEAM week was great success and all of the children were active and engaged. The event demonstrated the creativity and talents of our children at the school.
