Jeans For Genes

Thanks very much to everyone for all of your generosity on Jeans for Genes day. We had a lot of fun wearing our own clothes and collected a lot of money for a very good cause as well. We watched a video in assembly and another one in class about the problems that Jeans for Genes Day helps with. Actually, we're not helping problems, we're helping children and families and we had a really good talk about our lives and our families.

As promised, here's a photo of all of our happy faces on Jeans for Genes day

and here's a link to the Jeans for Genes website. You can watch the videos that we were talking about here.

Nassief House

Here's a few photos from our Nassief House trip. We only saw 3 out of the 107 rooms but the parts we did see were very interesting. There was a beautiful light in the main room

and an Ericsson phone!

We sat on the roof and enjoyed the breeze

and even had time for a snack on the terrace outside.

Today's Homework

What an exciting day we've had! A lovely visit to Nassief House, seeing the oldest tree in Jeddah and one of the best preserved of the traditional Saudi houses and to top it all off, a dead rat in the street! What more could anyone ask for? There will be photos to follow but here's today's work:

More News

One more little tidbit of information: we'll be choosing our Student Councillor and Deputy SC on Sunday. If you wish to be a candidate (ie if you want people to vote for you) then you need to get two nominations (two people who think you will be a good councillor) and hand them to me. The people nominating you have to write down a reason why you would be a good councillor. We will vote on all the candidates on Sunday before second break.

If you haven't paid for your lovely school hat yet, please bring the money As Soon As Possible.

New News

Just a couple of reminders of things to do or bring next week:

We are now on full Uniform Alert, starting Saturday. That is when you should be wearing all the correct uniform, as explained to you many times over the last three weeks, now including HATS! Bring your school hat or you'll be sitting on the No School Hat, No Play bench.

If you or your parents have any photos of Jeddah from before you were born (ie long ago), can I borrow them? I promise to return them quickly and in good condition :-) Anything showing people or places that have changed since then would be good. If you have the photos on a memory card, that's all good.
