This week in KG1

Dear Parents,
Last week was quite eventful! Students loved showcasing their
swimming skills for you in GIS first Swimming Gala!
This week will continue to explore life cycles in our Unit of Inquiry!
Students seem enthusiastic about learning about all the living
things we share the planet with!
This Thursday we will have a Free Dress Day. The student council
has taken the initiative to plan this out. Students are asked to
donate 5AED in order to come to school dressed in non-school
clothes! All money raised will go towards buying an appreciation
gift for the housekeeping and support staff at our school!
Thank you, KG1 Staff
