Students attended the Romeo & Juliet play at the Madinat Theater on Wednesday February 27th.

The actors did a great job in keeping the audience entertained. The play was a modern adaptation

and set in modern times. Watching the play with JBS was an unforgettable experience, a

magnificent show indeed! By Priya Movva grade 8

THE ROMEO AND JULIET FIELDTRIP

World Maths Day took place on Wedensday the 6th of March. Students from all over the world competed against each other in mental maths to see who came out the victor within their age group. G6 to G9 students went to www.worldeducationgames.com, which has grown over the years to now include Literacy and Science-based questions. Our students have practiced in preparation for the big day, where Mr. McMahon has kept track of our students' practice scores and their scores on the 'big' day. The day was a huge success with a number of students participating. Students really enjoyed competing against each other as well as competing against the rest of the world.
