ARABIC VERSE This year has been a joyous, busy year filled with a diverse range of activities that have been met with unparalleled passion by our students. The year commenced by preparing our Year 5 and 6 students for the Emirates Literature Festival. We are exceptionally proud of Noha who won first place to the UAE poetr y writing competition, which is a testament to her linguistic prowess and flair in Arabic. Whilst reaping fruits of our hard work , our Year 2 students worked in silence to per form a remark able play in front of their parents. Ever yone joined hands to create a niche per formance celebrating national day. Our four th graders organised a militar y walk attuned to Emirati militar y music in the school’s front hall. We then saw our students paying homage to Sheik h Zayed and Sheik h Rashid’s great legac y, by presenting poems
in the theatre amongst masses of overjoyed students and proud parents. Ar t week did not hamper our student ’s zeal. Their ar twork conveyed the centrality of Arabic to the Ar t s; a value we highly up hold acro s s our sc hool ’s sk y.
