In terms of communications with the school, please note, parents having a concern
regarding their child must first contact the teacher for an explanation/resolution. If the
matter is not resolved, the Head of the Department / Division should be contacted. If the
problem is still not resolved, only then should it be taken up with the Principal. We
would also appreciate hearing about our achievements, accomplishments, and the
positive aspects of our school.
JazakAllah Khayr,

Curriculum Highlights
Language
During this month, we worked through our
Short Story unit. Students not only got to
read short stories by authors such as
Langston Hughes and Thomas King, but
also wrote their own short story using
teacher-provided guidelines and a rubric.

creative energies to produce gripping narratives.
we read and analysed two Extended Metaphor poems in class, followed by an exciting game of composing extended metaphor
poems in just 5 minutes! I was very
pleased to note the enthusiasm exhibited
by students during the literacy game. Students will be writing an extended metphor
poem in class next month, as part of their
assessment.
