Dear Primary Families,<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was lovely to see so many of you at last night\u2019s Iftar Supper. I appreciate that this is a very special time of year for those celebrating Ramadan, and I enjoyed the chance to be part of the event.<\/p>\n

The highlight of my week was joining the Grade 1s on their visit to the supermarket at City Centre! The students have been exploring their How We Organise Ourselves<\/strong> unit, learning about roles and responsibilities in the community. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with my group as we toured the shop, completed a scavenger hunt, and asked employees about their jobs. I do think some of my group had the most fun pushing the trolley, but it certainly helped them develop teamwork and motor skills!<\/p>\n

World Maths Day \u2013 Wednesday, 26th March<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Next week, we will celebrate World Maths Day<\/strong> with a range of activities in the Mazoon<\/strong>, where students will collaborate through engaging maths games. This is a great opportunity to celebrate the joy of numbers, problem-solving, and real-life applications of mathematics.<\/p>\n

Here are some fun activities your child can try at home to mark the occasion:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Maths Scavenger Hunt<\/strong> \u2013 Challenge your child to find numbers, shapes, and patterns around the house (e.g., “Find something with a circle shape” or “Spot a number greater than 10”).<\/li>\n
  • Baking with Maths<\/strong> \u2013 Get hands-on by measuring ingredients, counting items, and discussing fractions while baking something simple like cookies.<\/li>\n
  • Real-Life Budgeting Challenge<\/strong> \u2013 Give your child a small budget (e.g., 5 OMR) and ask them to plan a meal, choosing ingredients while staying within the budget. They can check online prices or use a shopping receipt for reference.<\/li>\n
  • Dice Game \u2013 Race to 100<\/strong> \u2013 Using two dice, take turns rolling and adding numbers to reach exactly 100. Modify the game by using subtraction or multiplication for an extra challenge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Encouraging children to see maths in their everyday lives helps develop a love for numbers and problem-solving. We’d love to see their learning in action\u2014feel free to share pictures or stories with us!<\/p>\n

    Wishing you a wonderful weekend.<\/p>\n

    Best regards,<\/strong><\/p>\n


    Matthew<\/strong>
    Primary Team Lead<\/p>\n
