Dear Parents and Students,
Good afternoon, I hope these few words find you well. Welcome to the end of week 30 of our school year. It has been an interesting week for sure.
This week we were face to face learning for one day and then in online, asynchronous learning mode for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as a result of the intense weather conditions. This is a great training ground for transition into Grade 7 and I would like to thank families and students for attending to learning in online mode so well. For part of this week, due to the weather there was no internet and I have heard news and seen a number of videos of flooding around Sohar and through out Oman. With this, I hope that everyone is safe and that things are able to return to normal as soon as possible.
Due to the adverse weather conditions and the interruptions to key infrastructure, for those who have been unable to complete assignments or connect to the internet and google classroom. Please do not be too anxious about this as if this is the case there must be a good reason and we can obviously work to catch up when we are back together.
If students have been able to access google classroom then assignments set have included:
- Pulling Off the Impossible
- HtWW Reflection
- SMART Goals: Review+Reset
- G6M3L10 Exit Ticket & Sprints
- A Long Walk to Water (1)

- G6M3L11 Problem Set
- G6M3L11 Exit Ticket
- “A Long Walk to Water” (2)
