Class Experiences
Class Experiences February has so far been the best month of the school year, this month we got to read to younger students on world read aloud day, The year 9 students went on a trip to a farm and we celebrated cultural day where we had the chance to explore cuisines and fun activities that other cultures participated in. Not to mention that February is the last month of winter and the rains have been heavy. It was really enjoyable to experience this because UAE is known for being a place that doesn’t get much of natural rain. I'm really looking forward to the coming months, hoping they’ll be as lively as this Rafia Ismail

Class Experiences This month of February, we had the most awaited Cultural Day and some of us were able to witness the beauty of poetry in Dubai and a field trip to a tennis match. Additionally, we are currently revising for the GL Assessment this coming May. It is very intensive, but this is an important test. This really helped me refresh my mind on the topics we learned in our recent years. I am looking forward for more exciting school days! Althea 9G
