Developing Global Competence:

This week, the children used a KWL routine (What We Know, Want to Know, and Learned) to explore tigers. After watching an educational video, they created a diorama showing what tigers eat and where they live. The class then shared their learning and set up a tiger-themed display to teach others. It was a fun, hands-on learning experience!

International Mindedness and Action:

Linking to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals - Goal 8, we read The Tiger Who Came to Tea and had a visit from a tiger who was so sad because people were taking his fur for fashion. The children came up with creative ideas on how to protect tigers from harm.

The children worked together to complete their understanding of tens and ones by making paper chains.  There were engaging discussions around 2 digit numbers and the different ways they could be split. The children then randomly picked 2 digit number cards and their colours to represent 10s and 1s.

through the amazing geographical features of our beautiful host country Oman.  We learned about the ancient ocean when Oman was under water during the Cambrian era. Year 4 shared their prior knowledge of the ring of fire. A firm favourite was Nataly's quiz about volcanoes located on our host continent. We look forward to future learning adventures.

They’ve been learning to identify information technology beyond the classroom, discovering how digital devices are transforming the way we work, and exploring the role of computer systems in everyday life. They also explored how websites are shared across the World Wide Web and even experimented with search engines to enhance their digital skills. Year 3 have their lesson on Thursday so photos will be posted on Seesaw.

The Dream Sound Space project creates a safe and supportive environment for children to explore a multi-sensory experience guided by sound. By balancing rest and activity, our soundscapes stimulate brain waves and mimic REM sleep patterns, activating the body’s natural healing abilities.

We encourage children to tune into their senses, promoting awareness and connection to themselves and their surroundings. We are proud to be the first school in the Gulf and the Middle East to implement this innovative approach. Additionally, Ms. Elira, a facilitator from Energy School, will join our sessions to enrich the experience.
