MIT Challenge - Living in Space
Today was an exciting day for our primary students at BCB. We officially launched our first MIT Challenge of the year and it is called Living in Space, inspired on researches from the MIT Expert Dr. Ariel Ekblaw.

The desired outcome is to get students planning and designing an object to be used in the International Space Station to improve the human experience away from Earth in fields such as food, sports & exercise and art.
To reach that, students must follow some project based learning steps that will be gradually disclosed on our Monday Assemblies and via e-mail.
This year all NAE schools are running this simultaneously and for the first part of this challenge, children will need to come up with three questions about traveling and living in space and send their questions to MIT via Global Campus. Hopefully, Ariel and her team will pick some questions from students around the world and answer them in a very special video for the next part of this challenge.

The behavioral policy makes sure that all our students understand that decisions and choices have consequences just like in the real world. We need to follow guidelines that are created to ensure students are safe, feel included and can focus on building positive relationships and achieving success in academics.
Reading is a rewarding experience, whether you are hyped for a brand new release or revisiting an old favourite, there is something therapeutic about reading. It's easy to become so absorbed within a world where we lose our sense of time and place with: intriguing characters; heart-racing situations; and wondrous settings. As Dr Seuss once wrote: “Fill your house with stacks of books, in all the crannies and all the nooks.” As a little boy, Dr Seuss’ influence still holds value.
Today, Nord Anglia Education launched a brand-new podcast series called A Little Bit of Genius. In this series, student hosts discuss the theme of creativity with fascinating guests in a number of diverse fields. Nord Anglia’s podcast series is just one of the many incredible opportunities that we offer to students to ensure their education inspires them.
Students worked with their minds and hands to solve a variety of problems, transforming their understanding and perception of STEAM in a week-long series of workshops, lectures and activities.
