Mrs. Wedad's Message 

As we resumed school this week, we want to thank all of the families, staff and students that helped prepare for our International Day. Following the UAE guidelines and with respect to the passing of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa, we have rescheduled the event for June 24. This will be held indoors during school hours.

MAP testing begins next week on Tuesday. We will be offering the Parent Workshop on Tuesday afternoon from 1:30 - 2:30, again, featuring MAP.

Our regularly scheduled Parent Workshop for this Wednesday afternoon will highlight Math. Parents, we encourage you to attend and gain insight on how you can better assist your child with their math education. Teachers will be present to share tips on understanding lessons and how to effectively help with homework.

We are hosting an Open Day this Sunday from 11 - 1 PM if you wish to bring your friends or family to view the school.

Term 3 Extra-Curricular Activities 

Gulf Star Sports

We are pleased to share with you the progress of our karate kids at Ignite school since the beginning of term1 for some, and term3 for others.

They have in turn learned the bow, the stances, and the fundamental rules of karate, based on discipline and respect, while having fun during the lessons, and especially by progressing in the belt.
Between learning defenses with the head block (Age Uke), tummy block (Soto Uke) and down block (Gedan barrai) blocking, they have all also passed the milestone of hitting targets to improve their skill.

For the older ones like our two young and brave learners in the picture (Isla Donovan - 3B) and (Rebecca Marion Macintyre - 3B), Sensei Alexandra now ensures that they are ready for the next grading by performing the second kata Hein Nidan after their fantastic Hein Shodan (First kata) during the previous grading where they obtained the rank of the yellow belt in Shotokan karate.
