A note from the Head of Section – KG
Wow! What a wonderful Term 1 we have all enjoyed.
We welcomed our students new & old on our Open Day session September 6,
2018.
Term 1 in KG section for most of the students had been exciting. The lessons
have been full of fun and enriching activities. One of the targets was to
ensure our students enjoy speaking a different language, French. It was
sheer joy to see them coming to class with a smile on their faces and to hear
them say, “We are having French, How great. Term passed quickly with the
students settled and managing the daily routines expected of them.
Many thanks to all the parents for their cooperation. When we work as
partners, we achieve better outcomes. While participating in the activities
the children were able to gain valuable experiences in socializing, expressing
their views constructively and challenging their minds.
With your cooperation we were able to develop strategies in helping your
child overcome some setbacks. We were able to achieve better results and
with it came emotional security for your children. I have seen great progress
in such a short time.
We will continue to work to as we move towards more challenging and
extended experiences to meet the ever changing and developing needs of
your children. Thank you for your support and wishing you all a very happy and
prosperous New Year.

School Trip to
KG1 NEWS
Term 1 - 2018
Our KG1 students are so AMAZING !!
Kidzania
In October, many of the
KG1 children went on a
school trip to Kidzania in
Dubai. We travelled by
bus to the interactive fun center where the
children could take part
in role- playing activities. Above
you can see the girls from KG1d being fire-fighters. They
dressed up, travelled n
a fire truck, and even
got to use a fire hose to
extinguish a fire! Best of
all, they got paid for
their hard work, and
they could use their money to buy
something nice.
Quick Tip
It is hard to believe it has
only been 12 weeks since
the brand new KG1 children
began their exciting school
journey here at RAKAAG.. If
we think back to everything
they have learned, we can
see how truly amazing they
all are. During their first few
weeks they were
practicing classroom
procedures, such as the
morning routines, how to sit
on the mat, classroom rules,
how to clean up materials,
how to use the bathroom,
what to do during snack and
lunch times, and dismissal
routines. Some of the
children were also working
very hard at regulating their
emotions as they found it
difficult being away from
their parents during this
important transition to
school. Over the last 12
weeks, the children have
settled into
KG1a students being pirates and preparing to go
on a number treasure hunt in the playground!
their routines, and have gotten to
know all 7 of the teachers that they
encounter during their weekly
timetables. Apart from all the new
academic work they have covered,
many of the children are learning to
speak English for the first time. They
have also been practicing their social
skills, such as turn-taking,
sharing and forming new
friendships. To top it all off, they are
ending this term by performing on
stage for the National Day
celebrations. We really must
congratulate these wonderful
children in all they have achieved
already. Well done boys and girls..
.You are amazing!!
Children learn as they play. Most importantly, in play
children learn how to learn! - Fred Donaldson

TERM 1-2018
Wow what a term it has been here
at RAKAAG! An author once said,
“you’re off to great places, today is your day, your mountain is waiting so get on your way!”. The students of KG2 have gotten on
their way and conquered a few
mountains on the way. To imagine
that we have come this far so
quickly. If we think back to the first
few weeks, it was a challenge for
the students to settle back into the
schooling environment with
classroom routines. However, the
students put in huge amounts of
effort to settle themselves and
their emotions in order to begin
learning. The students were
remembering how move around
the classroom and sit on the mat.
They also had to remember to
clean up after themselves after
snack and lunch time. Snack and
lunch time were the best, the
students were always sharing
stories with each other and
playing games. “Time spent playing with children is never wasted” – unknown. In kindergarten we encourage play
based learning. In the classroom the students are academically challenged
with hands on activities to shape their
learning experience. These activities
include, forming letters on sand trays,
count and clip, etc. Apart from all the
academic learning the students have
covered they have also learning
through song and dance. The students are engaged
in movement and visual aids. In
RAKAAG, we strive to Environmental
awareness teaching while having fun
recognizing numbers. The students
enjoy helping
motivate the students in being
well rounded people in the world,
this includes wearing blue to
support anti bullying around the
world, pink day to honor cancer
and cancer survivors, as well as,
friendly competition with UAE hat
competition and best classroom decorations. We further
encouraged the students with
healthy eating week where the
students provided healthy meals.
To top off a successful term the
students displayed their love for
their beloved country by
celebrating Flag Day and National
Day, we also honored those who
sacrificed their lives for Their
country by observing Martyrs Day.
students were dressed in
traditional attire and shared a variety of
performances, ranging from
dances to poems and plays.
Overall, the afternoon was a
great success. The highlight of
the evening being Sheikh Faisal attendance the celebration.KG2E
