Primary School Achievements
Primary Annual Concert – Once Upon a Fairy Tale!
Holistic Education – Achievement – International Mindedness – Excellence – Team Work Over three consecutive nights, ABS Primary School students treated the school community to a magical journey of music and dance. ‘Once Upon a Fairy Tale’ was a spectacular concert that drew in family and friends from out of the cold and into the warmth of the school theatre that was transformed into a mesmerising Enchanted Garden. A captive audience was transported to the Land of Fairy Tales, on Aladdin’s magic carpet! Our charismatic students presented a kaleidoscope of artistic and musical talents through Broadway inspired costumes, characterful acting, joyful singing, spirited dancing and breathtaking show pieces that wowed the audience with an electric energy, commitment and sense of love tangible to all. HRH Princess Sumaya bint El Hassan’s presence on the opening night and the recognition of all participants, big and small, added a special touch to the wonderful event.
Primary School Distance Learning
Lifelong Learning – Team Work – Responsibility The Primary School shared a comprehensive distance learning plan with the Primary School community on 14th March 2020, which incorporated the aims, purpose, guidelines, tutorials and roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders to ensure smooth and successful transition to distance learning. Seesaw is the official platform adopted for Primary School distance learning for the following reasons: • Seesaw is a comprehensive platform that allows educators to document the entire teaching and learning process from day one. • Primary School students are familiar with the platform and use it regularly to support and enhance their learning. • Seesaw has many interactive features allowing the students to engage with their teachers by uploading their work via audio/video tools and receive audio, video or anecdotal formative feedback. • Seesaw is a living digital portfolio for each and every student. The Primary School Leadership Team has been able to track students’ engagement with the platform from day one and monitor and evaluate learning, teaching and feedback provided to students at any given time. • Seesaw allows students and parents to access, at any given time, the School Activity Library where all videos and assignments are archived. • Seesaw provides weekly reports and updates of usage, overall uploaded assignments, lessons etc.
