🎤 Debatent en català a la UAB

💬 Four BSB Nexus students recently took part in the Catalan Debate League hosted by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (@comunitatuab) debating entirely in Catalan against more than 20 schools from across Catalonia.

💡 Despite being new to the competition format, the team won one of their debates and achieved an outstanding recognition: the maximum score of 5 points for “mastery of the theme” from one of the judges — a score no other team received, including the overall winners.

📝 Preparing for the debate meant researching deeply, building strong arguments, and anticipating counterarguments while working closely as a team. You can read more about how the debate went in our School News website (link in bio!)

🗣️ Experiences like this reflect the purpose of our ‘BSB Speaks’ Oracy Programme, where students develop their confidence, critical thinking and communication skills to express ideas clearly and engage meaningfully with the world around them.

📌 To learn more about the ‘BSB Speaks’ programme, check the Hub in Cognita Connect for the full booklet on how we teach Oracy across all key stages. Not part of BSB yet? Get in touch with our Admissions Team to discover more about a BSB education.

✨ The Magic of Storytime in Early Years ✨

In Early Years, our mission is to create a nurturing environment where children feel safe, happy, and inspired as they begin their educational journey. One of the most powerful ways we spark curiosity and wonder each day is through storytime.

📚Through stories, rhymes, and meaningful conversations, children develop strong communication and language skills. Listening to stories introduces them to new words, ideas, and expressions - helping expand vocabulary and support cognitive development.

But storytime is so much more than reading a book. It helps children:
🌟 Grow in confidence when expressing themselves
🌟 Spark imagination and creativity
🌟 Understand emotions and develop empathy through characters
🌟 Explore concepts like cause and effect, friendship, and resilience
🌟 Build concentration and comprehension skills

And most importantly, daily storytime nurtures a lifelong love of reading.

👣 Discover how we nurture a love of reading from the very start in our Early Years spaces. Join us at our Open Days in Sitges, Castelldefels, Barcelona and Maresme — book your visit via the link in our bio.
