From the Principal’s Desk...
Dear Parents and Friends,
A warm welcome to our 5irst newsletter of 2011.
As you can see from the following pages, though the term is young there has been much happening already.
The GCSE and A Level students are currently completing the last of their modular examinations; they do not have long until the next round of exams, as the school year seems to become almost an endless series of tests. We hope that they have all done themselves justice; they certainly continue to work hard.
The Primary staff recently staged a day of strange phenomena and mysterious sightings. Year 6 were exposed to some very convincing staff accounts of possible UFO and alien encounters, as a stimulus to their writing non-‐5iction reports. Well done to the Year 6 teaching team and the rest of staff who contributed to this innovative and successful learning exercise; the resulting pupil work was superb.
Many, many thanks to parents who have offered to address senior students on careers; we have a number of talks scheduled for the coming months where parents will make presentations and pass on insights on the attractions of their own professions. These talks will combine with work in PHSE and with Year 10 Work Experience to help students gain an informed view of a variety of jobs and the necessary quali5ications to pursue them. Any other parents willing to get involved can contact me directly.
Our new building still continues to take shape, with site staff making up for time lost to public holidays in term one. We have been in the new structure regularly as we plan the 5ittings and furnishings – it will be a major enhancement to what can be offered to all our pupils, Primary as well as Secondary.
Building staff who work for all the contracting companies were delighted to receive the care packages from SES students in the days before Christmas; in all over 100 such gifts were handed over. I would like to commend parents and students on their generosity. Parents continue to bring me concerns about the parking areas at Primary and Secondary. Congestion is inevitable here at busy times and we need people to be patient and to exercise caution. There have been incidents of traf5ic driving against the one-‐way system, parking or stopping illegally or inconsiderately, and rudeness to security staff on duty. Can we again request parents and drivers to observe traf5ic rules and sacri5ice a few extra moments during pick-‐up to ensure that safety is the top priority? The potential for a serious accident should give us all pause for thought.
Thank you.

News from the Primary School
Our first newsletter of 2011! Already it is shaping up to be an eventful and fun-packed term/year!A new term always means new topics for the children to study and as usual there is a huge variety throughout Primary from Famous People in Year 2, China and Africa in Year 1 to Mud Brick Making in Year 4 and Aztec Masks in Year 5. Topics always give us a great opportunity for displays and, as you can see from the photographs, many have been put up around the school in an incredibly short time.Clubs are also well underway. Again the children had a vast array to choose from and appear to be thoroughly enjoying the activities on offer. Favourite annual events are seen on the calendar; KS2 discos, International Picnic, Sports Days and the Flea Market where the children have the opportunity to sell and accumulate treasures!!!In S.E.S. Primary, “The Year of the Rabbit” has definitely started with a leap and a bounce!
Miss Jenefer Race -‐ Primary Headteacher
Primary Sports Day is just around the corner (17th Feb 2011) and the PE department would like to ask the students in primary school to contribute some art work for the programme of events. Draw a picture of sports day and hand it in to the PE department by the 3rd Feb. The best picture from Key Stage 1 and 2 will go on the front of the programme. So go on...get creative!

Year Three Roman Day
Salvete!
Year Three took a trip back in time to hallowed antiquity for their Roman Day. The children and their teachers dressed up in Roman period costumes and had a great time! Everyone made a superb effort and there were some very innovative costumes worn including togas, tunics, shawls and armour. The winners of the costume competition were Queen Anneketrien and Emperor Danny.
The children ate a Roman feast and took turns being slaves and masters, the latter particularly enjoying being fed grapes by their slaves. We had a competition for the best slaves and coming top with excellent customer service skills were Jessica Lewis, Ethan, Suhaib, Saul, Jessica Parsons, Danny and Hannah Le Seeleur. Mr Gill will never forget being ordered around and running for more pasta every five seconds! Being a slave was definitely not fun in real life!
In Design & Technology the children designed and made their own Roman Shields. So we decided to put them to good use by practicing some military maneuvers. The children loved being legionaries and made a great ‘Testudo’ defensive wall (also known as the tortoise). We re-enacted the ‘Battle of Pharsalus’ were Caeser’s Imperial Army took on Pompey’s Army of the Republic. Please note that no shields were damaged in the making of this battle… ok then, maybe a few!
We played party games including musical Roman statues, musical chairs, pass the parcel and not to mention lots of dancing! We finished off the Roman Day with chariot racing! The children split into teams of three. Each team consisted of one driver and two horses. The children raced around the track and we saw some very competitive races! After four qualifying heats, two semi-finals and a Grand Final, the eventual winning team was Ellen, Nina and Paula. Well done to the girls!
All the children had a fantastic day and we are all really looking forward to our Viking Day later on in the year!
Mr Gill
FORWARD!

Strange Happenings - Alien Invasion Staged At SESOn Wednesday 11th January the pupils of SES came in to discover strange goings on at school. There were odd imprints on the grass, a spooky photo and the clocks had all reportedly stopped at 3 a.m. The Year 6s used this as an opportunity to interview the teachers at school, and report on these mysterious events in their literacy lesson. It turned out to be a hoax by Mr Smithard; however some excellent newspaper reports were produced.Keith Smithard and Lynn Nuttall
Pupil Statements
Yesterday morning a very abnormal event occurred at S.E.S. A strange, unidenti5ied 5lying object was seen cruising above National Paints highway. Teachers from nearby Sharjah English School spotted an odd disc 5lying in the air; it was said to be just hovering as if it was examining the ground beneath it. Griff Gough-‐Walters
A warning sign greeted pupils in the morning, telling them not to step on the grass: strange markings and footprints were also seen! ‘I think that the Alien is spying on us,’ said Mrs. Winterburn. One of the other teachers said they had seen a bright light outside their house. Daniel Goldie Furlong
Children at Sharjah English School claim that Aliens landed at their school at 3.00am this morning. There were lots of complaints from teachers about all the clocks stopping at exactly 3.00am, as well as a big footprint next to another strange imprint in the middle of the playground. Are there really aliens, or just a well played prank? Lukas Bley
Pupils that live in the nearby university [American University of Sharjah] said lights were 5lashing and there was a 5ifteen minute blackout. Sabeena Sheth
The atmosphere was electric and every student at S.E.S. was busy trying to 5igure out the clues. The area by the playground was taped off because of the strange scorch marks on the grass. Oddly enough, the green footprints were also located there. They appeared to look like chicken feet. Strange. Luke Miles
Meanwhile, Mr. Shinn arrived at school and saw a disk smoothly gliding through the air, like a U.F.O, so he took a picture with his camera phone. Sarah Young
Miss Race, the school Principal, was alerted at 3.00am when the alarms of the S.E.S. building went off. When she arrived, she noticed nothing wrong, but had the feeling of being watched. Mathew Bates
The CCTV cameras spotted a short, odd-‐looking creature which made everyone very curious. So, the question is, who or what is responsible for all this chaos and curiosity?Sakina Mujtaba Surury
One of the teachers said, ‘I forgot my phone at school the other night and today I found it 5lashing with the time set at 3.00am. It has never done this!’Rita Helmy

Year 4 – The Egyptians As part of their Egyptian topic, the Year 4 children were given the opportunity to experience first hand how the ancient Egyptians made their own mud bricks. The activity involved getting thoroughly messy and was enjoyed by all. The children were intrigued to learn that a mixture of mud and straw makes a strong building material and that this technique is still used nowadays in certain African countries.

Year 1 – Africa and China1SC have been inves-ga-ng a strange suitcase that was delivered to their classroom. Inside the suitcase we found African clothes and masks, African art and ornaments, some photographs and a le?er. We contacted the owner and she has been emailing us lots of informa-on about Africa.
It is a lot of fun learning about Kenya. We know a lot about the clothes, houses and schools. In art we are exploring African pa?erns and are going to make an African printed dress for Akeyo. There are lots of books about Africa in our classroom and we are even wri-ng our own informa-on book for the library!
This term, 1SM have been looking at different communi-es and cultures around the world. We are lucky to have children of 12 na-onali-es in our class to help us discover the wonders and tradi-ons of their home countries. We will also be celebra-ng cultural and na-onal fes-vals such as Chinese New Year and St. Patrick’s Day. We hope to see you in your na-onal costumes at the Interna-onal Picnic.

Year 5 - The AztecsThe Aztecs ruled the region we now call Mexico about 500 years ago. They called their land Anahuac which means the land on the edge of the water. The Aztecs were powerful because they attacked and conquered neighbouring people. They worshiped many gods and goddesses. They made masks to represent their gods. In Topic we looked at books and decided which mask we were going to create. It took many steps to finish our masks which were made of clay. I liked the process we went through in this project and although it took lots of effort it was worth it!Michelle Mei Delves 5SW

THE EMAX STAR QUIZ CHALLENGEStar TV and Emax have teamed up to produce a new TV show, the “Emax Star Quiz Challenge – The UAE’s Most Prestigious School Quiz Challenge.” Schools from across the UAE were invited to send teams to the Elimination Round and Sharjah English School sent four teams of two to compete at the Sheikh Rashid Auditorium (part of The Indian High School, Dubai) on 12th January. The students were: Zoran Gajic, Adriaan Cornelisse, Cezane Golley, Mikhail Kononovich, Tim Blackman, Matt Wood, Harini Kannangara and Samia Jahangiri – all in Year 10.
Over 300 teams entered from 55 schools. Only the top 27 teams were able to qualify. Our students performed very successfully, especially given the very demanding nature of the questions. Two of our teams scored highly enough to have gone through to the quarter finals, but unfortunately, only one team from each school was allowed to qualify. In the end, Zoran Gajic and Tim Blackman represented SES at the quarter finals at Star TV’s studio at Studio City, Dubai on Thursday 20th January.
The filming of the quarter f inal was a unique and exciting experience. It was an opportunity for Zoran and Tim to be fully immersed in the making of real TV show, c o m p l e t e w i t h a l l t h e ‘camera, lights, action’ one expects. The show is hosted by Rohit Roy who seemed impressed by the boys’ skills and knowledge.
In a nail-biting and very closely run contest, where our SES team were leading at the end of the second round, the quarter final ended in a draw which led to a tense ‘tie breaker’. Despite knowing the answer to the question: ‘Which is the oldest university in the United States?’, the SES team were not as fast on the buzzer as their competition, The Millennium School, Dubai. However, Tim and Zoran came home with a trophy each and having done themselves proud.
The Emax Star Quiz Challenge can be seen weekly for 13 weeks, beginning on Saturday 29th January on Star Plus (in English) at 8.30 pm. The Star TV website will soon have clips and interviews from the shows available online.

GCSE Arabic In Sharjah English SchoolLast year Tom Smith and I enjoyed the challenge of doing Arabic GCSE for the first time. It proved a great success for us. Tom achieved an A* in his summer exams.
The Arabic GCSE course is designed to cover the needs of learners taking Arabic as a second language. As with other foreign language courses it covers the four skills of reading, writing, listening and speaking.
Of course the Arabic language is not only useful because of current economic and political issues but also because of the number of countries that speak it. Arabic is spoken by over one hundred and fifty million people around the world including the following countries and territories: Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Comoros Djibouti, Egypt, Ethiopia, the Gaza Strip, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the West Bank, Western Sahara, the Yemen Arab Republic.
Relatively few Westerners ever venture to learn Arabic. With the growing importance of the Middle East in international affairs, there is thus an extreme shortage of workers in the West who are well versed in Arabic language and culture. Those who study Arabic can find careers in a variety of fields: diplomacy, journalism, business and industry, education, finance and banking, translation and interpretation and many other areas.

Art TripOn Sunday January 23rd all DT graphic students, Year 10 GCSE Art students and Year 12 A level Art students came together for an Art ExhibiFon named RSTW in Abu Dhabi, at Al Saadiyat Island. It was a never seen before collecFon owned by Larry Gagosian, whose collecFon includes art pieces and painFngs by arFsts ranging from Andy Warhol, Cy Tombly, Christopher Wool, Richard Serra, Robert Raushceburg, and Ed Rucsha.
All of us really enjoyed seeing the art work; many of us have been working through the arFsts’ work in lessons, so it was an amazing opportunity too see the originals in person. We were also able to explore Abu Dhabi's history and future plans in another exhibiton. As many of you must know, they are building the Louvre and Guggenheim on Al Saadiyat Island. It was a great experience for all of us, and we definitely got some nice sketches for our sketch books.
Thank you to the teachers who organized the trip for us, and thank you to Mr. Egan, Mrs. Egan and Mr. Hartridge, who took the Fme to make this trip possible and who travelled to Abu Dhabi with us. We had a great Fme!Gaby Toledo

Career planning will be a focus in Secondary in the coming two terms. The UAE does not offer the opportunities for part-time work or vacation jobs that might be available in the UK and elsewhere. A coherent approach to enhancing students’ knowledge of the workplace, and finding opportunities to provide them with meaningful work experience, therefore become particularly important.
All parents should have received a letter seeking placements for our Year 10 students to do work experience. As we now have a greater number of students involved, any offers from companies or organizations to take a student for a placement would be very helpful. Please contact Miss McNulty, Head of Business Studies ([email protected]) if you can assist. Work experience happens from 24th to 28th April.
There was also a letter sent home seeking parents willing to come in and make a presentation or speak to students about their job or profession. Anyone who can help in this regard can contact Mr. Nolan ([email protected]).

Years 8 and 9 Theatre Trip Shakespeare 4 Fun!
On Wednesday, 12 January, Years 8 and 9 students headed to Ductac Theatre, Mall of the Emirates, to attend a Shakespeare 4 Kidz production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This company, who visit the UAE regularly, specializes in the creation of accessible versions of Shakespeare’s work for younger audiences. Watching the play helped to plant the seeds of understanding, which will enable the students to make the transition to enjoying and understanding the beauty and meaning of the full original texts. The production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream was wonderfully comedic and had the entire audience roaring with laughter. The beautiful woodland set successfully created a little bit of theatrical magic and the students were enthralled throughout.
Student PlannersA reminder to all parents in Years 7-9 to sign their child's homework planner on a weekly basis. The planner is an excellent way to check that homework is being recorded and completed as well as an opportunity for staff and parents to communicate with one another.
Thank you,
Mrs. Simpson

Cooking in Science!At SES Year 7 students are now following a new innovative course adopted to suit the requirements of the new British science curriculum introduced last year. With this, we aim to raise students’ achievement and develop their understanding of how science works in everyday life, as well as making it relevant and fun at the same time. This term they have been making pancakes to demonstrate energy transfer and chemical changes.
For parents seeking more information on the course there is extra information at: http://www.upd8.org.uk/upd8-wikid.php

Last term, I.C.T was a blast we had so much fun doing E-‐safety. At first we had to do a play on E-‐safety then a PowerPoint. The dangers of using social networking sites, text messaging, chat-‐rooms etc. has alerted all of us to be safe on the internet and always tell your parents when you make a new account and never tell strangers any of your personal info. The fun continued when we had to make a poster about E-‐safety. We are in term 2 now and we have full knowledge of the dangers of the internet. Right now we are learning about spreadsheets. We learned to calculate sums and problems using formula, with cell numbers and letters. We finished doing a shopping list, calculating it using formula. We had fun in spreadsheets too and we are ready to start our next spreadsheet project.Tony Joseph
In Year 7, we looked at E-‐SAFETY. We learnt about text bullying and how people are affected by it. We acted out a bullying scene and what to do if you are getting bullied. After that, we talked about safety in a chat-‐room and how not to give away too much information. We also learnt that a person you are talking to in a chat-‐room may not be the same person in real life. We made slideshows and movies about being safe online. We are currently learning about spreadsheets. We have already picked up a lot of skills using Microsoft Excel.Amaani Master

In ICT we have been making a pac-‐man-‐like game on a program called ‘Scratch’. It is a free program where you can design and make your very own games. Scratch is really fun because you can design your own little character called a ‘sprite’. They can be any colour, size or shape you want. After that, you make a background for them. There are commands on the side which you can order to make the sprite do many different things such as walk, talk and make funny actions. We have been looking at a word document which tells us how to make the pac-‐man game step by step. It is very straightforward and helps you make the game easily and quickly. The whole class has made a game and it has been a very exciting project.Veronica O’Connell
In ICT we have been learning how to make our own games. We have been programming our own version of Pac-‐Man. We have followed a word document on how to make this. It is a very enjoyable process. Scratch is a programming language that makes it easy to create your own interactive stories, animations, games, music, and art -‐-‐ and share your creations on the web. As young people create and share Scratch projects, they learn important mathematical and computational ideas, while also learning to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively.Imran Khan
In ICT we have been creating a Scratch game. Scratch is free software, where you can create your own game, just like we have been creating our own Pacman game. To do so, we have been following a Word Document which tells us step by step how to make our game. It starts of with us making our own Pacman like ‘sprite’, which is what the characters are called, and then we have to make a maze for the sprite to move around in!Lily Smythe

This term in Year 9 we are using Google SketchUp to create futuristic houses. They are what we want our houses to look like in 100 years time. Google SketchUp is an easy way to design 3D images on the computer; this can help you to design buildings and other 3D objects like cars and storage devices.Lauren Prentice
In Year Nine, our current project is using Google SketchUp. So far we have designed a house and a chair and are trying to design a house for one hundred years into the future. Being a creative and clever bunch, Year 9s have produced some great results. Using a 3-‐D modeling system is extremely educational, allowing you to design a product without fear of messing up.Adam Bates

The Year 10’s taking ICT have started their controlled assessment. It calls upon basic ICT skills, such as creating logos using paint or a different drawing application. Databases are also used, so the students must know how to create and navigate through a database. The assessment also requires organizational skills, because the basic idea is to create an event for Upcycling.Upcycling is creating something useful out of waste, i.e. a seedling pot out of an egg container. The assessment focuses on your planning of the event. Every detail will be covered, i.e. what will be happening, when it is, what will be served, which stallholders are coming etc. Ankara Angell
The past few weeks of ICT have been filled with lots of hard work as we’ve been tackling our GCSE Controlled Assessments. A task that will take 40 hours in total, the upcycling-‐themed assignment has proved to be very interesting. We have made use of all the skills that we’ve learnt in ICT this year, as well as learning new things about upcycling, the process of turning items that are no longer useful into something of more value, along the way.Keah Challenor
In Year 12 ICT we have covered two main units; ‘Practical problem solving in the digital world’ and ‘Living in the digital world’. These two units encompass both practical and theory work. Unit 1 theory covered topics about input, output and storage devices, software and health. The theory in Unit 2 looks more in depth at the processes and people involved is designing and using ICT systems, data and information, coding and encoding data, ICT networks, threats to ICT systems and backup and recovery methods. The practical work has revolved around designing and creating a functioning website, with working links and sound, interactive spreadsheets and databases. We are in the process of building up our e-‐portfolios in readiness for our summer examinations.Sam and Ashley Hopkins
Every year ICT includes two main areas of study, practical and theory; Year 13 is no different. Theory in year 13 shines a light on ICT in organisations big and small, looking at different types of systems used, requirements, different users, legal issues and other issues related to that. The practical project at Year 13 level is slightly different to projects of previous years, as its focus is more on documentation and solutions, instead of software skills.
For my project I am implementing a new ICT lab monitoring software that allows staff to view and control students computers from the main ICT machine. Part of this involves creating training documents to use with the software.Stephen Hennessey
Year 11 have been focusing hard on completing the coursework element of the course. This accounts for 60% of the final GCSE and comprises of 2 pieces of coursework. The first project is set by the examination board and involves the students solving the set problems using ICT. The second project is on a topic chosen by the student showing their ability to analyse, design, create, test and evaluate an ICT system.
