Dino City

Othman Thinnourain children visited Dino City , a prehistoric park at Ajaltoun. They were introduced to dinosaurs' history and prehistoric man. They played and enjoyed learning about old creatures. Most important of all, they had lots of fun. 

How our Students Care for their Fellow Friends!

On the occasion of Universal Children's day our 6th graders; Rodana, Aya, Nour and Sara thought of a nice gesture and planned to prepare lunch for the 3rd graders.
On the 21st of November the 3rd graders were so lucky to have such a thoughtful event prepared especially for them.

Always keep in mind ... "A small group of thoughtful people could change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Margaret Mead

Science with MOM

On Wednesday November 21st, grade 5 science session wasn’t the same as everyday. Special visitors were present in our classroom. Fifteen mothers were invited to attend an interactive science class where we were the teachers and our moms were the students. We started preparing for this event a week ago. Our class was divided into Jigsaw groups. Jigsaw is a cooperative learning technique that promotes better learning, improves students' motivation, and increases enjoyment of the learning experience. Each Jigsaw group took a part of the lesson to explain it for the rest of the class. In one jigsaw group, Salma and Marwa were responsible for presenting body cells; Lama and Tala were assigned to cover the respiratory system; Ruba and Mona the excretory system; Hiba and Lana the circulatory sytem; Bayan and Malak the skeleton system. Jamal summed up the lesson through an interactive flipchart. Finally, Nivine gave us some tips that help us keep our body strong and healthy.

When mom is present Learning becomes definitely so much fun!

Universal Children's day- November 20

"لقد كنا جميعا أطفالا في يوم ما. ونحن نتقاسم جميعا الرغبة في تحقيق رفاه أطفالنا، ذلك الرفاه الذي لم ينفك أبدا، وسيظل يشكل الطموح الذي تتعلق به البشرية قاطبة أكثر من أي طموح آخر

“Children's Day was first celebrated globally in October 1953, sponsored by the International Union for Child Welfare in Geneva. The idea of a Universal Children's Day was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954. November 20 is also the anniversary of the day when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the Rights of the Child in 1956. Convention on the Rights of the Child was then signed on the same day in 1989, which has since been ratified by 191 states. World Children's Day is currently observed every year on the 20th of November. Today, World Children's Day is celebrated in more than 100 countries. Some countries celebrate it on different dates, like June 1.”

"We were all children once. And we all share the desire for the well-being of our children, which has always been and will continue to be the most universally cherished aspiration of humankind."

Never forget the child within you … always dream and smile!

Group Work

“One for all, and all for one.”

“Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”

Teamwork is a joint action by a group of people, in which each person subordinates his or her individual interests and opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group. Effective and efficient teamwork goes beyond individual accomplishments. It is an important part of the working culture and many businesses now look at teamwork skills when evaluating a person for employment. The most effective teamwork is produced when all the individuals involved harmonize their contributions and work towards a common goal.
On this basis KSPS students are working together as ONE team, 4th and 5th graders are trying to understand and experience team work and group work. Students are grasping the concept of collaboration, cooperation, respect towards one another, and communication. They are trying to be patient with one another; even though sometimes that’s difficult to accomplish, but with time they are getting used to the idea of working in groups and being productive in teams.
As teachers we are trying to make a change in our students’ lives, to make them better citizens and fellow humans.

Our 4th graders created their own creatures with special characteristics and the 5th graders created their own superheroes, they called them “Ninja”, “Monza”, “X-Ihana”, “Lory”, “Rio”, etc.
They were able to do these by cooperating together in ONE team.
