From acting out scenes to unpacking the language and themes, students explored the play in a creative and hands-on way—building on their classroom learning and connecting with Shakespeare like never before.

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

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!
