AKG sailed smoothly through the month of November.This

edition we have highlighted the initiatives taken by children

in every stage of their learning. It was seen during the sports

day where children exhibited sportsmanship and also during

the Creative Challenge event organized by Dubai Cares.

Most psychologist have shown that experiential learning is

an indispensable part of a child's development.As said by

Marie Montessori, "The child can develop fully by means of

experience in his environment. We call such experiences work".

AKG puts this knowledge into work for children by providing

extra care and nurturing environment.

This edition we have also introduced some surprises for our

little children .We have new section of "CHILDREN'S

CORNER ".Through this section we would like to encourage

our children to learn not only at school but guide our parents

to have the learning environment at home too. Thank you

for your support and co-operation as always ....

ENJOY READING.........

Transition period is most important when children move between

educational settings .It is recognized that shared vision and shared

understanding of good practices enable seamless transitions.AKG had

a similar transition program held on 1st of November 2014 to ensure

smooth transition of children from KG2 to Grade1. The response from

parents was overwhelming. They seized the opportunity to get familiar

with the school environment and the teaching staff. The activities held

after the orientation projected the good practices adopted by Grade1

teachers.


Flag Day at AKG The Ambassador Kindergarten celebrated Flag Day on

November 3rd. The atmosphere in the school was gripped

with patriotic fervor. This day is organized by the Ministry of

culture, youth and community development in collaboration

with several educational institutions under the slogan "Raise

it high ...raise it proud". Children were excited as they

gathered under the UAE flag, which was unfurled in the

morning.


Open houseAn Open House was conducted on Saturday, 15th November

& 29th November, 2014, for our prospective parents to give

them an insight on Ambassador School with a special focus

on Ambassador Kindergarten. The presentation highlighted

the mission, vision, curriculum, and a typical day at AKG. A

special thanks to our parent governors and parents who

shared their views and experiences with the audience!


Ambassador Kindergarten had a lively coffeemorning session on the 29th November for all KG2

parents to give them an insight into the Grade 1curriculum and the teaching methodologies of

Ambassador School. It was an interactive session,followed by the ‘Questions and Answers’. The

Executive Principal, Dame Naila Zaffar and Mrs. Charmain Furnell, the head mistress of the Primary Dept., Ambassador School took an opportunity to

interact with all parents and familiarized them with their forthcoming proceedings. The Chairman and

Coffee Morning


Sports Day The Annual sports day of KG1 and KG2 held in the

school campus was fun, challenging, and competitive.

On this day, children had a chance to test their skills

and compete with each other in a variety of games.

The event started with a mass drill of KG2 that

showed the skills of synchronization, with their

colorful pom-poms.

KG1 on the other hand held the bystander look with

amazement at the energetic and uniform display of

their drill. Every child had a sense of uniformity and

harmony that was evident. The team games and

races were exciting and fun filled. The most important

was the cheering among children that demonstrated

their sportsman ship and added more energy to the

day. The audience appreciated yoga demonstration

by children.

The theme of the KG2 games was ‘Our World' and

the KG1 had their races on the theme of ’Growing

and Planting’. In appreciation, the children received

badges and participation certificates.


Children’s Day

3v

Children‘s day was celebrated with great delight and

splendor. It was movie time for children of AKG. Each

class had different movies depending on the choice of

the class. They also participated in various activities,

such as singing, dancing, painting, drawing,

storytelling. Children were given freedom to decide

what they like to do. Dances and role play activities

kept them enjoying every minute. Children’s Day was

all about respecting and honoring children who are

the future leaders of the nation.


Creative Challenge Program

AKG opened an creative and artistic window

of our little ones by participating in the

creative challenge event organized by Dubai

cares. On October 15th 2014, Dubai cares

had taken an initiative to encourage children

to exhibit their creativity with a Creative

Challenge in Schools. Children were given

canvases of “#MyDubai” to paint the way

they view Dubai from their own perspectives.

The best-painted canvases were sent to

compete against other students across all

schools. In the spirit of camaraderie, Parents

and children participated in the event thus

providing children in developing countries

access to quality primary education. Thank

you to all parents for the overwhelming

response.


43rd UAE National day was celebrated in the campus with a

lot of enthusiasm and excitement. It was a colorful spectacle

for everyone witnessing the event. A grand fun n fair was

held in the campus that engulfed the whole school with

Teachers, Parents, Nannies, and Children all dressed in the

UAE flag colors. Variety of games and other cultural activities

kept the children in anticipation. Yet another occasion to

congratulate the parents of KG who have walked an extra

mile to make this day a happy and memorable one.
