Phonics Day in KG2

Learning their sounds is so important and helps to underpin reading The children in KG1 are always so enthusiastic about the phonics. The children and staff in KG1 had great fun dressing up as their favorite letter sound

February has been a month of visits and visitors Trips have taken place across Abu Dhabi and the Elementary school has been visited by parents and a travelling theatre company Enriching the curriculum and linking learning to real-life, provides a real focus to learning in class The children sharing and articulating their learning to parents strengthens the home school partnership, and deepens the understanding of what and how the children are learning in school. Thank you, parents, for all your support with attending our Parent in Partnership events when you are able to.

Grade 4 Field Trip

This month Grade 4 visited the Louvre, “Treasures of the UAE” exhibit. This exhibit linked to Grade 4’s theme this term, “Honoring the Past, Building the Future.” Each Grade 4 class had their own tour guide who took them through the exhibit, answered any questions students had, and gave them lots of ideas for future research projects. Students enjoyed this exhibit, learning more about the UAE’s past, and they loved being able to experience the beautiful Louvre Abu Dhabi

Little Red Riding Hood Theatre Performance

Presenting shows in the gulf region since 2007, SZPAG welcomed back the wonderful S4K International Theater Company with their production of Little Red Riding Hood. Our students were wowed by the pop-up theater’s musical comedy, who brought their own scenery, costumes, lights, sounds, music, and actors Students enjoyed cheering for “Little Red” and “Sheldon the Sheep” on their way through the woods, as well as booing “The Big Bad Wolf” It was clear the students loved the show by the volume of applause at the end of each performance! We hope to invite S4K back in the near future
