Star of The Week - wk beg 05.10.08

Congratulations Hannah!! Your work during theme and on your presentation has been excellent.

Adrian Hayes

Mr O'Brien arranged for Adrian Hayes the explorer to talk to the children today in assembly. Teachers and children alike were left speechless as he regaled us with his expeditions to both the North and South Pole. He explained in great detail the sights, sounds and smells - so much so that many children thought they too were in the Arctic Regions. The children seemed very impressed at his entry into the Guiness Book of Records and the fact that he lead a team of climbers to the summit of Mount Everest. We all left the hall feeling energised and inspired - I know it made me feel guilty for complaining about a short walk to the shops in the Dubai summer!

Jamal looks back on Year 5 so far....

We have learned a lot over the past few weeks. Healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. We have also been studying about what food contains and what happens if you do not eat sufficient vitamins and minerals. We are moving on to the heart and how it works and how the body works. It is fortunate that I researched the heart and circulation during the summer vacation; this has helped me with the work in school.
