Assembly Assembly on “International Women’s day”
T
he theme for International Women’s day was ‘Inspiring Change.’ It was celebrated worldwide on the 8th of March. The primary school held its weekly assembly on the 10th of March, 2014. The theme was ‘International Women’s Day.’ As the world had celebrated this event, it was
appropriate that the students, however small, should be enlightened about the responsibilities and the duties that women share in the world today. It was also important to learn how the women of yesteryear were treated. As slides of Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Mrs. Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Queen Elizabeth, Princess Diana,
Mother Theresa, Mrs. Hilary Clinton, Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, Ms. Marie Curie and Ms.Latha Mangeshka were displayed, the grade five students gave a description of how these great ladies had contributed to the society. The assembly was concluded by singing a few lyrics of a famous song sung by the songstress Latha Mangeshka.
Assembly on “The day Maldives embraced Islam”
O
n the 3rd of February we had a wonderful assembly. The assembly was on the day Maldives embraced Islam. Our teachers played an amazing play about how Maldives embraced Islam. We all enjoyed watching the play. It was a fun and interesting play which depicted the bygone era in which young girls were captured and eaten by a sea
monster who was known as the Rannamari. Asif sir portrayed the character of the holy savoir Abul Barakathul Bari who rescued the maiden Ms Fathmath Gassim. Muaz sir was the ferocious Rannamari. The other two characters were Ms Sameeha who was the maiden’s mother and Firushan sir was the king. Students were tensed when the Rannamari
appeared. It was very touching and enlightening to hear Asif sir recite the Quran with such tone and clarity. After the role play, our teacher Mr.Muaz gave a speech about the day Maldives embraced Islam. It was a very informative assembly. We all enjoyed it a lot and also learnt a lot about the way Maldives Embraced Islam. Aishath Abza Adil, 5A
