Our Year 8 Science students have been in Primary School this week teaching Year 4 students all about ‘sound’.

I write this newsletter following our first inaugural event in our new auditorium. It has that new smell, like when you get a new car. Everything in it is fresh, clean, and untouched. The paint is fresh, the carpet is clean and has that lovely springy feel to it. The doors are all untouched, not a mark on them. I can’t wait to see the first production take place next week – Bugsy Malone – what a treat we are all in for!

Robots and Humans I’ve dedicated my career to improving young peoples’ intelligence only to discover that the future is in fact not real intelligence at all, but the artificial type. It’s a little disheartening if I’m honest, not that AI has been created, but at how quickly the human race seems to have given up on itself in the race against the robots.  It is 26 years since the Deep Blue computer beat Gary Kasparov at chess, at which point the end of the world for humans was confidently predicted, but here we still are with our opposable thumbs and a pretty well-honed survival instinct.

On Tuesday, Early Years teachers were very excited to welcome some of their new children starting at BIS Abu Dhabi in the Autumn Term.
