KINGS’ SCHOOL AL BARSHA

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Subject: Arabic A

Purpose of Study

The purpose of the study of Arabic at Kings’ Al Barsha is to empower students with the skills and opportunities to communicate in Arabic globally and on their own doorstep. Ensuring that students have the ability to converse and interact in the language of the nation in which they reside, is a pertinent and exciting priority at Kings’. Opportunities for Arabic speakers in the professional world both internationally and locally are considerable and we aim to equip students for their future pathways.

Students will have the opportunity to fully appreciate the beauty of the Arabic language and its diversity of dialects across the Arab world. Continuity from Key Stage 2 is a key consideration, as is the ability to accommodate linguistic developments in the Arabic language. Students will learn about fascinating cultural heritage of the Arabic language and will enhance their understanding of poetry and literature widely appreciated throughout the Arab world. The rich, varied and expansive reach of the Arabian world forms a treasure chest of discovery for the enquiring student.

Social, cultural and historical contexts will be examined in tandem with linguistic foci and the challenges faced by parts of the Arab world today will be evaluated and considered. Aims

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Subject: Arabic B

Purpose of Study

5


In the knowledge society of the 21st century, language competence and intercultural understanding are not optional extras, they are an essential part of being a citizen. Language skills are also vital in improving understanding between people here and in the wider world, and in supporting global citizenship by breaking down barriers of ignorance and suspicion between nations. Kings’ Al Barsha provides a learning environment which values and draws upon students’ background and interests. We aim to support different learning styles, build confidence and encourage independence. We believe that learning Arabic should be fun and stimulating for all our learners in order to cover the vocabulary and grammar of topics and build up fluency and sophistication in language use more naturally. We aim to provide an excellent context for developing insights into culture as well as higher order thinking skills such as analysis, comparison and interpretation. Arabic is compulsory at Key Stage 3 in the UAE and we see the range of ICT tools as having a valuable role to play in teaching and learning Arabic. This is because they represent an up-to-date and increasingly versatile resource and are central to the way young people learn, play and most of all communicate with each other.

Aims The Arabic Scheme of Work is based on the themes provided by the Ministry of Education and covers the same topic areas as other Modern Foreign Languages at Kings’ Al Barsha. The Arabic Programme aims to ensure that all pupils: ● ●

● ● ●

understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied acquire an understanding of the Arabic Culture around them

Building on this knowledge and understanding, pupils are equipped to use information technology to create programs, systems and a range of content. Computing also ensures that pupils become digitally literate – able to use, and express themselves and develop their ideas through, information and communication technology – at a level suitable for the future workplace and as active participants in a digital world.

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Subject: Islamic B

Purpose of Study Islamic Education promotes the spiritual, moral, and cultural development of Muslim children in Kings Al Barsha. It also lays the foundation for students to prepare for responsibilities and experiences in later life.

Islamic Education is a compulsory subject for Muslim students to study at Key Stage 3. It aims to offer the same high level of teaching and learning as other subjects in order to enable Muslim students, regardless of ability and/or level of development to: ● ● ● ●

Acquire and develop both knowledge and understanding of Islam in an interesting and informative manner. Understand that Islam is a complete way of life. Enhance their spiritual, moral, cultural and social development through knowledge of the Qur’an and Sunnah. Develop a positive and tolerant attitude towards other people, respecting their right to hold different beliefs from their own, and live in a society of diverse religious beliefs. Foster a sense of pride in being Muslim.

Aims

40


The Key Stage 3 Islamic Education Programme of Study follows the UAE National Document and is based on the KHDA recommended ‘Learning Islam’ series of books. Students who attend Islamic Education lessons study Islam based on the following six strands:

● ● ● ● ● ●

Beliefs (i.e. 6 Pillars of Iman) Rulings and Worship (i.e. 5 Pillars of Islam) Qur’an and Hadeeth Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and Stories of the Prophets (A.S) Religious Practices and Lifestyles Islamic Values and Akhlaq (mannerisms)

Islamic Education at Kings’ Al Barsha aims to follow a themed topic of learning to be consistent with the whole school where possible. Curriculum links can be found with English (e.g. writing poetry), Maths (e.g. calculating zakat), Geography (e.g. environmental awareness), History (e.g. the life of the Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) and other Prophets mentioned in the Qur’an), Art (e.g. Islamic calligraphy) and ICT (e.g. use of I-pads and computer suites).

Programme of Study

KINGS’ SCHOOL AL BARSHA

CURRICULUM OVERVIEW

Subject: Maths

Purpose of Study

Mathematics is an interconnected subject in which pupils need to be able to move fluently between representations of mathematical ideas. The programme of study is organised into distinct domains, but pupils should build on key stage 2 and connections across mathematical ideas to develop fluency, mathematical reasoning and competence in solving increasingly sophisticated problems. They should also apply their mathematical knowledge in science, geography, computing and other subjects. The expectation is that the majority of pupils will move through the programme of study at broadly the same pace. However, decisions about progression should be based on the security of pupils’ understanding and their readiness to progress to the next stage. Pupils who grasp concepts rapidly should be challenged through being offered rich and sophisticated problems. Those who are not sufficiently fluent should consolidate their understanding, including through additional practice, before moving on.

Aims

46


Working mathematically through the mathematics content, pupils will be taught to: ● ● ● ● ●

Develop fluency in order to consolidate their numerical and mathematical capability and extend their understanding of the number system and place value to include decimals, fractions, powers and roots. Select and use appropriate calculation strategies to solve increasingly complex problems and use algebra to generalise the structure of arithmetic. Reason mathematically to extend their understanding of the number system; make connections between number relationships, and their algebraic and graphical representations. Develop and extend and their knowledge of ratio and proportion in working with measures and geometry. Be resilient and be able to solve problems and evaluate the outcomes, including multi-step problems with an emphasis on financial Maths.

Programme of Study Autumn 1 & 2 Year 11

Spring 1 & 2

Summer 1 & 2

In Year 11, students take one of two possible routes:

-

-

Revisiting the main core content of the GCSE course. The topics revisited are influenced by analysis of previous year’s assessments. Students sit the GCSE exam at the end of Year 10, and begin an additional GCSE course, Further Maths GCSE.
