You Said - We Did

At BST we appreciate the importance of a balance between academic and practical skills for well-rounded individuals.

After a difficult year, we are delighted to share in the success of Year 11 students in their IGCSE results.

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!

Hints and Tips to Help Your Child Settle into a New School

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!

During our lessons last week, the children have done different activities.

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.

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.

Reading is an essential part in education. It helps to expand vocabulary, increases attention, and develops analytical thinking.

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.

Have you ever drawn a picture of a friend or family member in profile? If so, you have made a silhouette. During our ART lesson this week we have concentrated on the new theme, "silhouettes from under the sea". The students have given definitions to the words: silhouette, foreground, background, diagonal line, outline, etc. and answered the questions about silhouette pictures before starting to draw their own.

During our English lesson today, we were talking about the Present Perfect Tense. The students have read the story, given definitions to different words and answered the questions in the Present Perfect Tense. They have found the words in the wordsearch and have done different tasks.

Today we will draw using the Pointillism technique. Pointillism is a painting technique developed by the artist, George Seurat. It involves using small, painted dots to create areas of color that together form a pattern or picture. It's a fun technique for children to try, especially because it's easy to do, and requires just a few simple materials. Have fun Y6.
