It was a well attended and special community event, and I would like to thank all the parents and families who were able to join us. There was a wonderful selection of food to share, and it was a pleasure to see everyone gathering together at this meaningful time of year.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"539\" data-end=\"858\">One particular highlight for me was the delicious Omani dessert, Umm Ali. It reminded me very much of my mum\u2019s bread and butter pudding, a traditional English dessert, and it was a lovely reminder of how food often connects cultures and memories. Coming together as a community felt especially meaningful this week.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"860\" data-end=\"1446\">During the week I also spent time visiting classrooms and seeing excellent examples of Approaches to Learning skills and Learner Profile attributes in action. In Grade 3, students were working on fractions during a maths lesson, showing strong thinking and communication as they explained their reasoning. In Grade 1, students were developing their understanding of 3D shapes by co-constructing a community using junk modelling. Watching the creativity and collaboration involved was impressive, and it also reminded me that art was never my strongest subject at school!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1492\">Wishing you all a pleasant and safe weekend.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1539\">Best regards,<br data-start=\"1507\" data-end=\"1510\" \/>Matthew<br data-start=\"1517\" data-end=\"1520\" \/>Primary Team Lead<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1556\"><strong data-start=\"1541\" data-end=\"1556\">Dates Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1868\">\n<li data-start=\"1558\" data-end=\"1605\">\n<p data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1605\"><strong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1585\">Thursday, 19th March:<\/strong> Eid Holiday (tbc)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1606\" data-end=\"1675\">\n<p data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1675\"><strong data-start=\"1608\" data-end=\"1646\">Sunday 22nd \u2013 Thursday 26th March:<\/strong> Mid-term break \u2013 no school<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1676\" data-end=\"1720\">\n<p data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1720\"><strong data-start=\"1678\" data-end=\"1701\">Sunday, 29th March:<\/strong> Return to school<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1721\" data-end=\"1799\">\n<p data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1799\"><strong data-start=\"1723\" data-end=\"1766\">Sunday 29th March \u2013 Thursday 2nd April:<\/strong> Maths Week (details to follow)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1800\" data-end=\"1868\">\n<p data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1868\"><strong data-start=\"1802\" data-end=\"1826\">Thursday, 2nd April:<\/strong> Primary Swimming Gala (details to follow)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Primary Families, This week, we enjoyed a lovely Iftar Supper at school on Tuesday evening.
