Every Monday - Thursday, KG 1B have small group time, where the class is split into two. Half of KG 1B stay with Ms. Walaa for Arabic class, while the other half of the class come with Ms. Sinead for literacy or maths. The groups alternate each day. Have a look at what we got up to this week in small group time! This week, we practised writing the letter 'a', and worked on sorting items by colour.

Every day in KG, we spend at least an hour on 'work time'. This is free play, where the children choose an area of the classroom to play in, and spend their time in that area. Some areas include the literacy area, toy/construction area, home corner, and art area. The children decide where they want to play, spend time playing, and then we discuss the play time once we have tidied up. We love to learn new songs in KG 1B, especially ones that get us moving! Have a look at some pictures of us dancing in the classroom. We also sing a 'Wake Up, Shake Up' song each morning at assembly, as well as the UAE National Anthem, which we have been practising in class. All of the boys and girls in KG 1B are great at eating their lunches in the canteen. Have a look at all of their smiling faces! Parents, if your child brings a packed lunch to school, please try to ensure it is healthy, and keep treats to a minimum. Fruit and vegetables, yoghurts, and sandwiches are great healthy options! The children have settled well into the routines of the KG classroom. This week we spent time exploring the emotions we feel, painting pictures, learning new songs, and drawing pictures. We have been listening to lots of songs from YouTube - the Super Simple songs are KG 1B's favourites so be sure to check out some of these at home. They are great for teaching the children English vocabulary and they love listening to them. Well done to all the boys and girls in KG 1B for a great week! Hi everyone!
KG 1 B had a fantastic first week of fun in Kindergarten! We had plenty of laughs, tears, smiles and playtime, as the new students explored their learning environment for the next year. Most of the class are very well settled, and their enthusiasm is fantastic to see! Just a few points to note to ensure everything in KG 1B continues to run smoothly.
Have a look at some photos below to see the wonderful children in KG 1B, and how much fun they had during their first week in ENS Sharjah. Thank you so much for your support and co-operation all week! Ms. Sinead Yesterday we had our first day in KG 1 with our teacher Ms. Sinead. We had a great day playing with the lovely toys in our classroom, reading stories and playing in the playground with our new friends. Stay tuned for some photos of us in our first few days of KG!
