29 children and 4 staff attended the recent Football CIBSA hosted by the New Cairo British International School. Our top performing team on this occasion was the girls who attained a very creditable 2nd place – qualifying for the final after winning a tense sudden death semi final penalty shootout! The girls lost the final 2 – 0 to MBIS. They played with great enthusiasm and commitment and should be heartedly congratulated for their efforts. Both the U 9 and U 11 boy’s teams ended the festival in 3rd position. Both teams just failing to qualify for the final; but comfortably

On Tuesday 11th December, BSA hosted the first of our Young Arab Voices debating workshops. Students from four Alexandrian schools (Future International School, IBSA, Kaumeya Language Shool and Riyada Language School), together with their teachers, joined BSA students to learn the basics of debating. It was a very successful workshop, enjoyed by all.
BSA will be hosting the second in the series of workshops on Tuesday 18th December
On Thursday 29th November the BSA took part in yet another successful “International Day.” At Mina site, each classroom became a country for the day and the children travelled around in their classes from one country to the next, taking part in themed activities. When they travelled to Australia, they painted an Australian animal using aboriginal patterns. In Spain children learnt some Flamenco dancing moves from Ms Walsh. The lucky children who travelled to China made Chinese hats and learnt how to write “Lucky” in Chinese, with Mrs Astbury.
A workshop was held in the IT Lab at school for parents of children in Foundation Stage 1 to introduce them to our Virtual Learning Environment. The 40 minute session was well attended by parents and was aimed at helping them to use the VLE with their children.
The VLE was setup last year to help improve home-school communication and as a learning tool to help students with homework and assignments. Any questions about the VLE can be sent to Mr. Astbury at school.
25 students and 5 staff attended the recent CIBSA Football Festival hosted by the British International School, Cairo.
