The second term has been one which has had it’s challenges but also a term with a lot to celebrate. Unfortunately, at the start of term members of staff were exposed to the COVID virus, but all have since made full recoveries. Congratulations have to go out to Ms Lubna and Mr Ishtiaq who in February saw the birth of their first child, a beautiful baby girl. The term ended with more to celebrate in the form of National and Liberation Day.
As a school, we had in February focussed our curriculum towards learning about, and celebrating Kuwait as part of our preparations for National and Liberation Day.
In Early Years, children have been learning facts about Kuwait and taking part in art projects focussing on objects which are associated with Kuwait; such as the Kuwaiti flag. They have also learnt about different Kuwaiti professions through activities such as role playing.

Dear parents, the second term seems to have flown by and although it has been a relatively short term it has been a busy one with the focus of the Early Years and Primary curriculums turned towards learning about and celebrating Kuwait; to mark the importance and significance of National and Liberation Day.
Learning has also continued to be exemplary in both
Primary and Early Years; and when I receive videos and photos of students to ‘post’ onto Instagram I am almost always astounded by the quality of the learning that has, and still goes on.
I would like to extend a big thank you to all the children in Primary and EYFS in showing their dedication and flexibility to the continuation of online learning. I have to also acknowledge the significant support from parents to their children but also to the school in enabling the
exemplary learning to occur. A final thank you must go out to the teaching and support staff whose dedication and hard work has led to the continued success of online learning

In Year 1 and Year 2 the focus has been on gathering facts and completing comprehension activities about Kuwait.
Year 3 have been looking at creating fact files about Kuwait and then making presentations to the rest of the class.
In year 4 booklets have been

created for potential visitors, containing information about places of interest and the traditions of Kuwait.
Year 5 have also created fact files about Kuwait and replicated some of the art and crafts associated with the Kuwaiti culture and learned traditional songs.
The focus in Year 6 was on studying the history and events around the invasion in 1991 and the role of the Kuwaiti resistance forces.
During the month of February we have been posting on Instagram the students learning and pre celebrations to ‘National and Liberation Day’. If you have not already, please ’follow’ us on Instagram — Cambridgemangafkw.
A reminder that the last day of term is the 24th February and the first day back online is 1st March.
