Schools seem to pick up pace as we head into the holidays, but it was time well spent to reflect on the successes and next steps for our curriculum with the @ArborDubai parent community last week.

Very grateful for the valuable feedback. Some inspirational takeaways!

4RM are leaving Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and Innovation Centre feeling truly inspired! 🌟 We know so much about renewable energy and leading a sustainable life. Ending our Bright Sparks project on a high note! ⚡️ #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #Inspiration

It just makes so much sense to teach measure this way. Well done on a fabulous series of lessons @ArborYear2 👏

[Year 2 | The Arbor School @ArborYear2]

We used our fabulous indoor and outdoor learning spaces to begin our unit on measure. Year 2 measured objects using standard and non-standard units. #makinglearningfun #STEM

Fantastic to see @ArborYear4 protecting and preserving the precious mangroves of the UAE.

Planting the final seedlings was an emotional time, as the children saw first hand the impact of their term's learning.🌿🌊 From research to planting @ArborDubai are paving the way for a greener, more resilient future. Let's keep nurturing these seedlings for generations to come!

[George Stokes- Head of Primary @GeorgeStokesHoP]

During STEM week, @ArborDubai have invited parents from the field of engineering into school.

Today, @ArborYear4 heard from an expert working in the renewable energy sector.

Three more young performers took to the Arbor ‘Monday Morning Music’ stage to share their talent and dedication with us today. Did you know that playing the piano requires your brain to perform 10 different tasks at once? 🎶🎹🧠🧐#everychildisiamusician

So proud of my class! ✍️🏜️🐪. I love using a success criteria with scaffold and challenge. Amazing seeing children use the @VocabularyNinja 'Write Like a Ninja' book 📖 to independently select other criteria they wish to include in their writing as an extra challenge!

[Year 1 | The Arbor School @ArborYear1]

What a fabulous instruction writing lesson! First the children orally discussed how to make a jam sandwich and we discussed how specific the instructions needed to be. Then the children worked together to create instructions whilst they took turns making their sandwich🥪 ✍️😋

The 2023 Arbor Poetry Slam was a huge success.

Wonderful to see our students performing with such enthusiasm and gusto.

[George Stokes- Head of Primary @GeorgeStokesHoP]

Seriously impressive models of the heart in year 6’s latest inquiry.

Great to hear how the students can talk confidently about the workings of the heart!
