We had a wonderful time on our trip to Arabian Ranches Polo Club. Unfortunately we were stuck in traffic on Sheik Zayed Road for a short while but soon got underway for a very exciting trip towards the Ranches. FS1A & FS1D were greeted upon arrival and taken straight towards the stables to view some stunning Horses.

We were given an extremely informative talk by one of the stable girls, who talked us through the various features of a horse, the horses living quarters and the horses daily routine.

The children were able to get a little more hands on when they visited a pony, stroking him gently and feeding him hay! Following this we visited the 'tack' room for a Kodak moment (see below)!

The visit ended with a lovely picnic and a very quiet journey home with some very sleepy children!!

Dubai Topic Week 1

The children in FS1D thoroughly enjoyed expressing themselves using some beautiful coloured scarves, whilst dancing to some local music!

Dubai Topic

We have started a brand new Topic this week - 22nd March-. Our new Topic is all about Dubai. This week, we aim to cover quite a few aspects including: Location by looking at an Atlas and a Globe, the Desert - including wildlife/ Camels and touching upon local foods.

Circle Time

In the photo above, the children in FS1D completed a 'figure' using a multitude of objects from around the classroom. We named the figure 'Mat Man'. As you can see all of your little Monkeys did a fantastic job and were all very pleased with the result!

Book Day Photo

FS1D had a fantastic day on Book Day - thank you to all the parents for dressing up the little Monkeys and making the day so special!

If you have any photos you would like to share with others of Book Day feel free to email them to me and I will print then off and display.

Many thanks to Hashim's mummy - see the classroom window!!

Week 3 of the Animal Topic, brought along much excitement as we explored animals in the Jungle!

We looked at Spots & Stripes, completed some beautiful Artwork and discovered new methods of painting......with our feet!! We had a few reluctant children to participate in the green jungle dance, but when they saw how much fun their peers were having, they soon took their socks off!

This week I have enclosed a few pictures of the children's masterpieces for you all to enjoy!

.....next week - Animals on the Farm.
