GEMS JUMEIRAH PRIMARY SCHOOL 24th April 2014

Welcome back to the third and final term for this Academic Year. We hope you all had a lovely Spring Break. This week we have been very busy finishing our 2D and 3D pieces of art for the for the upcoming Art Festival. Third term Curriculum Preview meeting is at 7.45am on 7th May. I hope you will find it helpful and informative. We shall be discussing transition. Please feel free to email any questions or concerns regarding your child's transition before this meeting. The slide show of the meeting will be on Weebly after the meeting. Next week we will be attending the production of Pinocchio in the main hall. The cost of the production is 55dhs if you have not already paid please do so before the end of Sunday. If you do not pay or you do not want your child to attend the show please inform your class teacher in this case they will stay in class with one of the FS teachers. We are, of course, moving into the hottest time of the year and that is why I am urging all parents to provide their children with appropriate protection from the sun, hats and sunscreen applied before school as well as a small bottle of still water that can accompany your child in their lessons. It is extremely important that we work together to ensure the children are properly hydrated.
