Weekend News

I hope everyone got home alright after the rain and floods. There were still a lot of people at school at 4pm yesterday afternoon. I guess that their bus or car couldn't get through the water. As you can see from the pictures, in some parts of Jeddah it was really dangerous. Let's hope that nobody was badly hurt or worse. It's good to see so many people helping out those who are in trouble. We talk a lot at school about being a good team and working with other people. You can see that it's still important when you grow up as well, only then it's not just about being a good team member but being a good person. I hope that all the good team work you showed in the assembly last week continues when you get older. Well done again for being such a good example to everyone else and don't forget that Mrs Sheibani has kindly promised to give you ice cream as a reward. I think an umbrella might be better!




So, next week I'll be away and Mrs Uthman will be teaching you. I've given her the things I think she'll need but you can help out as well by showing her you are good listeners and that you are responsible. See you when I get back.

More Reminders

Ok, what do we need to remember?

1. Tomorrow is non-uniform day; bring a small gift as a prize for the Spring Fair
2. If you want to order anything from the Book Club, bring your money in an envelope
3. If it lo0ks like rain in the morning (are the clouds dark?) then you should bring a jumper
   

Reminders

Lots of things going on at the moment and lots of things to remember. Here's a few of them:

1. Auditions for Ali Baba on Thursday morning. Make sure you come in your time slot!
2. Non-uniform day on Wednesday NEXT WEEK. Please bring a small gift that we can use as a prize at the Spring Fair. It shouldn't be an expensive gift. Do not bring a toy that you got free from a fast food restaurant.
3. Tomorrow is the last day for photo money.
4. Festival of Football and Spring Fair - February 17th
5. Y5-2 Class Assembly - February 16th (I think)
   

New Gold

So, the first Golden Book of 2011 has just passed by and which wonderful student found himself in its illustrious pages? It was...RUY!

He got into the Golden Book because of his dedication to independent learning during our Astronomy topic. He has discovered many interesting and unusual pieces of information and, not only that, he has been able to explain all of the things he has learned to the rest of the class. Well done Ruy!

Two more Super Students are appearing in the blog at the moment. Laila and Saleh are the first people from our class to go up a level in 3 Minute Maths. Well done to you two and come on everyone else!

Healthy & Wise

As part of our focus on Healthy Eating over the next week or so we'll be keeping a food journal and keeping track of what we eat each day. I think some of us might be surprised about how much we eat and probably how much unhealthy food that we eat.

There are a few useful websites around to help us learn about what we eat and how it affects us. Here is another one which has a game about food and nutrition.

Happy New Homework! (I mean 'Year')

Hello again everyone and welcome to 2011! I hope you all had a great holiday and didn't get too wet or snowy. We're back to school and full of energy and enthusiasm about our New Year.

Part of the change to a New Year is thinking about all the things we want to do in the time ahead. We're going to give ourselves three targets that we'd like to achieve before our next holiday. When you've decided what they are, send them to me by clicking on the '0 replies' link underneath.
