Dear Parents This booklet sets out to outline the Essential Online Curriculum that your child will be following for the next twelve weeks. As a staff body we have created what we believe to be the key areas or skills of the curriculum that still need to be covered for your child to gain a sense of completion and to ensure that the building blocks for the following year are in place. Following the initial two weeks of distance learning, we have looked at feedback from students, parents and staff and have developed a range of approaches to vary how your child learns on a daily basis. What we are committed to is that no child should be working on their Chromebook for six hours a day, they need time and activities away from them. What this plan does not give is the detail of what is taught, this just like in class will be delivered by the teacher and each teacher has the autonomy to teach this in the way that is best for the class they have. You will observe that this plan also includes advice on how we intend to support your child away from academic studies as we feel that this is crucial for the development of each and every child. It also contains advice as to how you can support your childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well being at home and ensure that they get into a daily routine. I would like to thank all of our parents for the tremendous support we have received as we have embarked upon this new venture together. I am acutely conscious that many of you are working in challenging situations as many of you have more than one child and many of you are trying to work from home yourself. On behalf of the BSAK staff I would like to express my immense gratitude for all that you are doing. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude and thanks to our teaching staff who have been asked to teach in a way they have never experienced. This has been a very steep learning curve for us all to ensure that we provide nothing but the best support for our students. Like many of you, they are parents themselves having to juggle two jobs. My ďŹ nal thanks must go to our students who have certainly shown a huge amount of resilience throughout this time. I know that many of them are really missing the human interaction of coming into school and we miss seeing them on a daily basis. The vast majority of students have really embraced this distance learning and the teachers have praised their efforts. They have shown true BSAK endeavour and resilience and they are a credit to you as parents. Teresa Woulfe Head of Secondary

WHAT IS AN ESSENTIAL ONLINE CURRICULUM? Our Term 3 curriculum was, as it always is, carefully planned by staff to deliver the highest quality education in the classroom and under normal circumstances. Following the UAE Government’s decision to keep schools closed until the end of the academic year we took the decision at BSAK to reevaluate our curriculum for Term 3 in light of the challenges this presents as well as drawing upon the experiences and lessons learnt from the ﬁrst weeks of distance learning. The Essential Online Curriculum is our strategic response as a school to ensure that we provide the very best education and learning during this period when students are learning from home. We have therefore focused on the most important, ‘essential’ learning in each subject during this time so that students and parents can focus their efforts and attention on what matters most and what will have the greatest impact, both now and also upon future learning and progression. Our aims in developing our Essential Online Curriculum are: ● ●

● ●

To adapt the curriculum to be delivered online in the most effective way possible. To provide an educational experience and online learning experience that, as closely as is possible, aligns to the normal school based experience. In doing this we hope to reduce as far as possible the impact of this period on our students’ long-term learning. Ensure the needs of all students, working remotely are taken into account in the planning and provision of the curriculum and learning at this time. To provide a clear overview of learning in each subject for students and parents across the 12 weeks of distance learning from the 12th April through to the end of the academic year.

This booklet provides an outline of the essential learning in each subject and details the topics and key learning objectives in each subject. We have also provided information on the key assessments that will be completed in each subject during the rest of this term. Although assessing students’ learning is more challenging during distance learning it is important that we provide some key assessment opportunities. Again these have been redesigned by our teachers for this period. Providing assessment opportunities is important for a number of key reasons. Firstly, for students it is important that they have a clear direction, purpose and outcome to their learning during this time. Secondly, this information is vital for teachers. It allows us both to evaluate learning during this time but it will also provide valuable information that will allow us to plan our 2020-2021 curriculum. This will be important as we plan ahead to next year and take account of the impact of this period in the curriculum plans we put in place next academic year.

PASTORAL SUPPORT DURING DISTANCE LEARNING During this period of distance learning, we still ﬁrmly believe in the importance of pastoral support for our students. It is vital that, throughout this period, we maintain dialogue between parents, students, form tutors and teachers. This communication will allow us to help support our students with their learning and ensure that this period is as successful as possible. To this end we have arranged a number of opportunities for this to happen effectively: ●

Each Sunday there will be a Form Group Zoom meeting to allow regular contact; This is an opportunity for Heads of Year to pass on information via the Form Tutors and for tutess to ask questions and maintain that face to face relationship. This will act as a well-being check. This will also be an opportunity to collect face to face feedback from students.

●

Form Tutors will also be in contact by email at the end of the week.

●

Heads of Year will send out a message to their year group on a weekly basis.

●

Assistant Heads will send out a message to their key stages fortnightly.

Please note that lines of communication are always open, either by email or through a speciﬁc Google Classroom. We encourage all of our students to make contact with their class teachers or Form Tutors if they have concerns during this time. In this way, we can help ensure the wellbeing of our students and make this period the success we know it can be. Year 10 I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate my message and say thank you for the continued support you are giving your children at home. I have been impressed with the work ethic, resilience and motivation that the majority of the Year 10 students are demonstrated in these challenging times. You will notice from this document that the content being delivered to the Y10 students is still the GCSE curriculum and for that reason it is incredibly important that students continue to engage fully with the work and reach out to subject teachers if they do not understand something. On top of subject speciﬁc support from classroom teachers the tutors will continue to offer support and guidance and I will continue to communicate with the Year Group using our Y10 Google Classroom. Please do encourage them to reach out if they need any help or advice on managing workload, time management, or anxiety. With the cancellation of Work Experience we were keen to still offer career themed opportunities and Christine Mannion our Careers Advisor has been making optional workshops and seminars available to the students. These can also be accessed using the Y10 classroom and some recent examples include: Future Proof Jobs (guidance as to what careers are available for certain subjects), Online Photography courses, Film Making and University guidance.

STRUCTURE YOUR LEARNING Distance Learning is hard - there is no doubt about that. For a student, it requires grit and determination - or two of our school values: Endeavour and Resilience. The same could be said for parents as they help their child(ren) navigate through these challenging times! After this initial three week period of distance learning, no doubt you are all in a better place in terms of how each student structures their learning day. As teaching staff, we have also reflected on the amount of work we are providing, and we will hopefully be able to ensure that, moving forward, the amount of work provided is of a manageable amount for our students. The following are tips for how to structure each day, and also how the rest of the year will work: THE LEARNING DAY ● Keep a structure for the learning day - our advice is to follow the school timetable - although flexibility depending on the household/individual is prudent. But it is not a good idea to work late into the evening - have a definitive stopping point for the day’s work. And there is no necessity to work beyond the 55 minutes of any lesson - students should communicate to their teacher that they have completed as much as they could within that time. ● Having a definitive stopping time for learning work also helps with down time and with family time- we need to look after each other during these times. When a student has reached the end of their learning day, pack it all away - there is a sense of pleasure that comes with packing it away - while having ‘work’ in view all evening is not good for their mood! ● In the morning, the best advice is to prepare for the learning day as they would do a school day - have a shower and have breakfast before starting any work. ● Make sure that students have many short breaks - between each subject’s work, have a short break, and make sure to have a good lunch break. Keep hydrated during the day. And move away from your learning space during these breaks. ● Make sure the working location is supporting good learning - a place with good natural sunlight; a desk large enough to support the work easily; a comfortable chair. ● During learning time ensure that distractions are out of sight and reach or turned off - e.g. mobile phones, TVs, games consoles. ● Look after emotional wellbeing by having rewards each day to look forward to. Individual families should discuss these! ● Remember that Distance Learning is more independent - students need to try hard to work out the learning; however, they should not be worried about talking to teachers and explaining any issues/concerns.

STRUCTURE YOUR LEARNING THE LESSONS ● All lessons will continue to be posted on Google Classroom. ● Subject teachers will provide video or audio starting points to most lessons. This is to maintain an element of contact with the students beyond the written word, and will enable clear instructions for the lesson and some direct modelling. ● A small amount of lessons may be on Video Conferencing. This will be communicated via subject teachers if it is to happen. These will take place during the actual timetabled lesson time. There are well discussed positives and negatives of using live lessons - and BSAK has taken the pragmatic approach of having a small amount, chosen at key points in the learning by teaching staff. When students are partaking in live lessons, they must ensure that they are following the Video Conferencing Agreement, which can be found here. ● During May and June, there is also an expectation that students in Years 7 - 10 will be preparing for their end of year exams. During this time information will be sent home about how to best plan their revision and tips for revision. A slight reduction in workload can be expected during this time to reﬂect this.

MENTAL HEALTH WELLBEING MRS PRIYA MITCHELL "Situations change from time to time. A friend may become an enemy and an enemy a friend. Life is inconsistent and ever changing. So are health and weather. We must, therefore, be prepared for the unexpected changes coming our way." Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan

This inspirational quote resonates as we all navigate through the current challenges in our day to day lives. Our ‘normal’ has significantly changed and we are all adapting to new rules and ways to manage our days. There are two ways of experiencing these changes, dependent on our mindset and perspective. We can either focus on the challenges and how hard these are, resulting in negative emotions all round or we can reflect on what the lockdown and remote learning is enabling us to do. Later wake up times, spending more time with members of our household, becoming creative and finding new and interesting ways to support our children and their remote learning. This is new territory for everyone and a great way to upskill ourselves. However, recognising that many of us are experiencing frustration, feeling overwhelmed and anxious cannot be ignored. Anxiety is often the result of feeling out of control so it is hardly surprising that children and adults are both facing an increase. The Counselling Service has posted some helpful resources on the Parent Portal and this will continue. Please share these with your son or daughter. Upcoming additions to the support currently offered are Zoom parent coffee mornings, signposting to websites and new information as it is released as well as uplifting quotes and stories so please do keep checking the portal.

END OF YEAR EXAMS At this stage of the GCSE/iGCSE course, it is important for staff to deliver GCSE style examinations to students. These exams will cover the content of the syllabus that the students have covered this year - both in class and as distance learning. These exams take place during the week beginning 7th June. During this week, there will be scheduled times allocated for each exam, and it is crucial that the students are at their computers to complete the exam at this time, as the exam will only be released during the scheduled examination period. Students will receive a booklet of the topics covered and revision help before the end of April. There will also be revision tips sent out to students in the weeks leading up to the exam period, and the ďŹ nal week prior to the exams will only be revision work - although this must not be the only week the students are revising! Although the integrity of these results will not be as robust as with our normal examination period, these results will help to form our teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; understanding of their current attainment, and the results will be sent home to parents as normal by the end of term.

BIOLOGY DISTANCE LEARNING CURRICULUM - TERM 3 TOPIC

Biodiversity and the human population explosion

OVERVIEW AND LEARNING AIMS

● ●

●

● ●

Biodiversity is the variety of all life on Earth. Rapid growth in the human population means more resources are used and more wastes are produced, which could lead to more pollution. Humans reduce the amount of land available for other plants and animals by building, quarrying, farming and dumping waste. Levels of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere are increasing and contribute to ‘global warming’. Maintaining biodiversity - Programmes have been put in place to reduce the negative effects on ecosystems and biodiversity.

Core aims by the end of this sequence of lessons you will be able to: ● Deﬁne biodiversity and describe human impact on it; ● Describe examples of how a reduction in biodiversity can affect climate, food supplies for humans, useful chemical for the future etc. ● Describe some of the environmental problems associated with an increasing human population. For example ○ Acid rain ○ Global warming ● Describe what herbicides and pesticides are used for. ● Describe the process of bioaccumulation ● Describe the process of eutrophication ● Explain why deforestation is having a negative impact on the environment ● Explain what peat is and why it is important to preserve areas of peat. ● Explain how deforestation increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and leads to a reduction in biodiversity.. ● Describe programmes introduced to maintain biodiversity. For example: ○ breeding programmes for endangered species ○ protection and regeneration of rare habitats.
