Model United Nations Update

One of KGIS’ most popular clubs, the Model United Nations (MUN), is stepping up its preparation for its first conference at The Sultan's School on 13 May! The Model United Nations (MUN) is a great way to engage students in global issues and build their communication and leadership skills. As students prepare for their first MUN conference, it's important to introduce them to the language and format of draft resolutions, which are a critical aspect of the MUN process. By practicing writing their own resolutions, students can learn how to research, articulate, and advocate for their positions on important global issues.

To help students gain a better understanding of what to expect at a conference, our MUN club will be hosting their own practice conference. This will give students an opportunity to learn about the procedures and protocols involved in MUN conferences, such as how to make speeches, negotiate with other delegates, and collaborate on solutions to global problems. Through this experience, students can also develop their critical thinking and problem-solving skills At the practice conference, students will be given a chance to present their resolutions and receive feedback from their peers and club advisors. This will help them refine their ideas and strategies for the upcoming conference. Additionally, by simulating a real conference environment, students can gain confidence and build their public speaking skills

Inspired Student Competitions

We are pleased to share details of two Inspired global competitions that are open to students. Please do encourage your children to participate!

KG Update

KG1 have been learning about farm animals and have been incorporating it into their small world set ups. As the children move towards confidence in writing, they have been practising mark making to gain control over their fine motor skills needed for more formalised writing In English lessons they have been reading the popular story 'Dear Zoo'.

KG2 have enjoyed making Ramadan crafts and this has allowed them to refine and focus on improving fine motor and cutting skills. Cutting with scissors is a very easy and very effective method children can engage in at home to improve their global fine motor skills. In class the children have learned about life cycles.

Both KG classes have really been enjoying our outside provision as the weather remains somewhat cool and breezy. Our new EY garden and mud kitchen have been put to great use all month and we have filled the Tuff Trays with water and toys The children are particularly enjoying water play and getting stuck in and WET!
