Dear Parents,
After the spring break we will begin our next Unit of Inquiry, 'How the World Works'. During this unit, our technology integration lessons will take place in the makers space working on a light and sound project. For this project, each child will need a shoe box. Please send your child to school with a shoe box no later than Sunday 9th April so they can begin their project.
Thank you in advance for your support.
The KG2 Team.

On 23rd March, GWA will be celebrating Book Character Dress Up Day. We are encouraging the students to dress as a favourite character from a book and to be creative with their costume- recycle old clothes and make accessories. The children will be asked share which book they are from and why they chose the character. We look forward to seeing your ideas and creations!

On Wednesday 1st March, all of Elementary will be holding their yearly Student-Led Conferences. This is your child’s opportunity to lead you through their learning journey up until now. The students will be going through their learning experiences with you to model, explain, and share what they have been learning and exploring throughout this year. This experience is your child’s day and it is not meant for parent-teacher interviews or conferences. Showing their learning journey can be done in their home language and gives students opportunities to show evidence of their learning through many different ways. It also involves your child bringing you to their different learning spaces around the school, like the Gym, Music rooms, Library and Art class, etc. More information will be sent out February 21st and on 23rd in the Thursday Newsletter, including how and when to sign up (which will be open on Tuesday, February 21st, from https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/GEMS_World_Academy_Dubai_Elementary).
Finally, it’s important to note, that during this day, students will only be at school for their conference and learning tour, after which they will return back home. Students are also expected to wear their school uniform and any or all family members are invited to share in their conference. There will be no bus service for Elementary students on that day.
