Webinar- First Aid 

GIIS, Abu Dhabi always focuses on the development of the life skills of every child. In order to make our children aware of the hidden dangers that may happen to anyone at any time, the school provided them with a vital knowledge of First Aid. We made certain that every member of the GIIS family received the training. Proper knowledge in first aid boosts our confidence and we act immediately in case of emergencies. The training was conducted on 7th January, 2021 and the session was led by Ms. Anna from our school’s Health department.

The programme helped the students realize how to respond calmly and quickly in an emergency situation.They were given information regarding various injuries and the ways to deal with them. The last segment of the session was an interactive one. Students grabbed the opportunity to clarify their doubts. It was, undoubtedly, an enriching, fruitful session.

Pinhole Camera Activity

Today, nearly everyone has a digital camera, and it’s easy to take a perfect photograph every time. But like many electronics, cameras may seem mystical and complicated to our children as well!

 The Science activity was conducted to construct and understand working of a pinhole camera to explain to our 6th Grader how simple a camera can be, and how light forms an image on the film. It helped our students gain insights on the science of optics, and it was a fun art activity, too! The images produced were surreal, artsy, and quite unique. It also helped them learn the differences in quality and style between old photographs and today’s images. They were amazed that they can build their own camera!
