Good luck to all the teachers as they finalise the heavy marking load arising from the examinations and prepare Semester 2 reports. Those reports will be published by Thursday, 19 June. Eid break We now enjoy a week holiday to celebrate Eid Al Adha with school returning on Wednesday 11 June from when feedback and feedforward activities related to areas of individual and collective improvement identified via the end of year examinations will be conducted.

In Year 5, students explored island formation by designing and creating their own model islands. They began by shaping their islands using papier-mâché over recycled materials, carefully building up features like mountains, beaches, and rivers. Once dry, they brought their creations to life with vibrant acrylic paints, adding detail and colour to represent different landforms and natural features. This hands-on project helped students understand Art and Geography in a fun and creative way. #IslandFormation #CreativeLearning #BISJ #primaryschool #JEDDAHSCHOOL

20 May 2025
In Nursery, the learning environment plays a crucial role in supporting young children’s development. By carefully setting up provision that reflects their interests, we create meaningful opportunities for exploration, imaginative play, and early communication. When children see their ideas and preferences reflected in the classroom, it helps build a strong sense of belonging and ownership of their space. From dinosaur worlds to pretend bus rides, these thoughtfully designed areas invite role play and encourage children to express themselves, collaborate with peers, and develop their language skills in a natural and engaging way. At this stage, play truly is powerful learning. #Nursery #happychildrenlearning #EarlyYears #DevelopmentThroughPlay #PlayBasedLearning #BISJ #JeddahBritishSchool

A typical week in Year 3 involves a diverse range of learning engagements! Pictured here, you can see some ‘buddy’ reading with FS2 as well as Secondary students and making salt dough as part of our Integrated Thematic Unit: Footprints from the Past: Dinosaurs. The students used the dough to recreate the original supercontinent Pangea as part of learning about what the world was like at the time of the dinosaurs. They have also done some ‘fossil hunting’ of their own, experiencing the exciting feeling of making a discovery, just like a real paleontologist! Look at the happy faces of the learners! #Year3 #BISJ #HappyChildrenLearning

A big thank you to all the parents who joined us for our Year 1 End of Year Celebration. This special event beautifully tied in with our final topic of the year - Green Fingers! The students have been learning all about seeds and plants, and they shared their knowledge through lively songs and a delightful retelling of The Tiny Seed, a story that follows the journey of a seed through the plant lifecycle. They also showcased their creativity with stunning flower mosaic art made from a variety of seeds. It was a wonderful way to celebrate how much our Year 1 students have grown, not just in their learning, but as young individuals. We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to seeing them continue to blossom! #EndOfYearCelebration #BISJ #BritishSchoolJeddah

BISJ hosted their own version of 'Zog', a story about a small dragon who learns new skills throughout his school career. Along the way he is helped by a princess who would much prefer to be a medic. The arrival of Sir Gadabout the Great, played by Qusai gives them both the chance to follow their dreams by becoming Flying Doctors. The 100 children from the Early Years section, narrated and performed the story through words, actions and songs which were specifically written for the tale. The children also demonstrated their excellent Arabic presentation skills in introducing and closing their show. We are so proud of our children! #BISJZogShow #EarlyYearsPerformance #BISJ #britishschooljeddah

Soaring Success at the House Technology Challenge! This year’s House Technology Challenge took flight—literally! Students from Year 1 to Year 6 teamed up in groups of 3–4 to design, test, and redesign their paper aeroplanes, competing for the smoothest and furthest flight. The challenge encouraged creative thinking, resilience, and collaboration as each group had multiple chances to improve their designs. With House Leaders, Captains, and Vice Captains guiding the way, students showed us what STEM learning and House spirit look like in action. From laughter to lift-off, every moment was a blast! Well done to all Houses for making it such a memorable event.
