Fabulous Footballers
Fly the Flag Our vision to Care, Challenge and Inspire was clearly evident last
week in Dubai when our year 5 and 6 girls and boys football
teams travelled to the BSME Football Competition. All of the
children showed fantastic team work and care for each other on
our travels. They rose to the challenges presented, particularly
our girls who were competing in their first competitive match
together, and above all they inspired each other, their parents
who came to support them and their teachers. Mr Hashem, Mr
Darren and Miss Claire were so proud of each and every one of
them throughout the competition not only for their fantastic
football but their teamwork, camaraderie and sportsmanship. The
girls came a very credible seventh and the boys finished third
narrowing losing in the semi-final to the eventual winners of the
competition. Huge congratulations to both teams.

…this week we have been having lots of fun with our new teacher Miss Vikki and our new TLA Miss
Amira. We are continuing with our topic ‘Space’, where we have been learning about planets and
stars. We have made planets with marble paintings, used our fine motor skills to thread stars and
havewritten our names using sticky star stickers. We have also been learning about 3D shapes for the
first time. We were given toothpicks, marshmallows, cherry tomatoes and raisins to experiment with
making 3D shape structures. We constructed cubes, cuboids and pyramids independently.
This week in FS2 Green, we performed our assembly all about dinosaurs. We decided to tell the story,
‘We’re going on a dinosaur hunt’ by making a video that starred all of us as we travelled through rain,
wind and a forest to find a Tyrannosaurus Rex. We used the green screen, which allowed us to be
transported to a variety of settings and provided us with exciting backgrounds for our story including a
steaming volcano, a tropical rain forest and an enchanted castle. We loved working with our friends to
make our video and in particular, loved acting out the excitement of being chased by a dinosaur. Our
parents and the other children in FS2 and FS1 loved our film and we thoroughly enjoyed showing it to
them.

…we have been learning all about Space and Space
History! We have made timelines in Topic to
represent all the amazing events that happened in
space such as Neil Armstrong walking on the moon
and Yuri Gagarin orbiting the Earth. In English, we
practiced using connectives to join sentences and
we also had great fun learning about question
words and forming silly questions to ask each
other. In Maths we learned all about 3D shapes and
made our own 3D shapes with clay. We have also
begun learning about weight - we weighed all sorts
of things in our classroom and found that some
things (like books) were very heavy indeed!
…we have had our science hats on recently and have spent some time learning about the conditions
that plants need to grow. Using our science skills we planted our own seeds a few weeks ago and have
grown them in different conditions to test what a seed needs to grow successfully. Finally, our
patience and hard work has started to provide us with some results! Here you can see what happens
when you grow a plant with no air, with no water and finally when you give a plant air, water, soil and
light. When you look at the picture can you tell which plant had which conditions?
