The challenge was to design and build ways to keep a raw egg safe while being transported by a range of methods, including boat, car, parachute, crash test car and free fall, alongside an additional task to construct the tallest possible tower. While a few eggs did meet an unfortunate end, the week was filled with problem solving, teamwork and lots of laughter. It was wonderful to see parents and children working together, having great fun, and celebrating a highly successful and memorable STEM Week. 

Our U9 athletes demonstrated excellent focus, determination, and a strong competitive spirit throughout the event. A special congratulations to Sarah Bos Year 3N and Rory Sherlock Year 5S for achieving 3rd place individually in their respective year groups. We are also proud to celebrate our U11 boys’ and girls’ teams, who secured an impressive 2nd place overall. Well done to all our athletes for their effort, sportsmanship, and school spirit! 

To mark the end of  a very busy term, our Year 1 and Year 2 children joined together for a joyful morning of music and games. With Ms Liz, Ms Donna, Ms Julie Anne and Ms Caroline leading the fun, the children laughed their way through musical statues, musical bumps and even a lively conga line! They loved requesting songs and sharing their favourites with friends, creating a wonderful atmosphere of celebration and togetherness.

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all our parents for generously providing the food and for your ongoing support throughout the term. Your encouragement and partnership make such a difference to the children’s learning journeys, and we are truly grateful for the positive energy you bring to our school community.

This hands-on activity gave them the chance to appreciate how simple ingredients can be transformed into a traditional treat. The excitement didn’t stop there, as the class then moved on to preparing savoury delights. From mixing fillings to folding pastry, students discovered the joy of working together. A great discussion was had exploring the different pastry filling options that could be used at home.

Pupils chose to focus on the Arabian humpback whale and the Arabian humpback dolphin, learning why these animals are unique to Oman and how they are under threat. They drafted their stories, edited and converted them into digital text and, with teacher guidance, used AI tools to turn their writing into illustrated storybooks.

This project helped develop the children’s writing, research, creativity and digital skills while encouraging them to become thoughtful caretakers of Oman’s marine life and its natural heritage.
