Dear GAA families,

It has been an engaging, enriching and active few weeks here at GAA. Kindness Week enabled us to highlight our Culture of Kindness here at GAA and promote giving back to our community in many ways. Thank you to our librarians who have organized a wonderful book fair and the students have been really excited to visit it. Finally, ‘Twin Day’ dress down was the perfect way to wrap up our half day Thursday.

As I look ahead to the coming weeks with National Day and Winter break coming up, I take this time to reflect on the progress and goals students have achieved since they started their journey with us in September. As we wind down from one year, we look ahead to the new one in January. I look forward to the next few weeks and what is to come.

Thank you for your continued support.

We started a new unit this week “ Sharing the Planet”. We have been inquiring into Living and Non Living”.

نسعى في قسم رياض الأطفال إلى تقديم تعليم نوعي ومُتميز ضمن بيئة تُلهِم الطّلاب وتُحفزهم على التّعلم والابتكار ، واستخدام استراتيجيات حديثة في التّدريس.

كما تعلم طلاب الروضة الأولى السّور القصيرة ( سورة الفاتحة ،الإخلاص) والأحاديث النّبوية الشريفة ( تهادوا تحابوا ، أفشوا السّلام بينكم) ، والأخلاق والآداب الإسلامية كما قام الطّلاب بتطبيق آداب الطّعام ، كما انهم استمتعوا بقصة نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.

كما تعلم طلاب الروضة الثانية السّور القصيرة (سورة الفاتحة ،الإخلاص، الكوثر) والأحاديث النّبوية الشريفة منها( وخالق الناس بخلق حسن) ، والأخلاق الإسلامية, كما استطاعوا تمييز خلق الله وصنع الإنسان ، كما انهم استمتعوا بقصة نبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم.

Al Salamu Alaikom W Rahmatu Allahe Wabarakatu.
