Rose is in Dreamland!

On the 24th April Lily, Maxime (sisters friend) my mum, my dad, me and Francesca went to dreamland. It was really fun.

When we got there we put our suncream onand then Francesca and I went of by ourselves. The first ride we went on were the yellow and green flumes and then the pink.After that we all gathered together and went on the family ride. We were about half way down and we went up the sides, I forgot to hold on so when we went up the side Ibanged my nose on Francescas head.(It really hurt).

After that we split up again and Francesca and I went on the kamacaza. I was first to go down and it was about 5 seconds until I reached the bottom.

When I got to the end it was soooooooo painful because I probably had worlds biggest wedgie!!! (haha)Anyway after going down that 13 times we walked down to the wave machine. It was so annoying because everybody who wanted to go in hadto were a life jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!We then had an ice cream and a drink and as soon as we had finished we went straight back on the rides.After all the fun we set off back home and were so bored for 1 hour.

Matthew's Holiday news

My Easter

The main highlight of my Easter was going to England.
My mum,my sister Emma,my other sister Katie and me went too Hampton wick to stay the 2 week Easter holiday. One of the main things that we did was walk all day, all night was walking straight and never back. (though we did find are way back home,somehow).

We also did a lot of shopping mainly in the clothes shops (very boring) but on the last day we went into a shop named sports direct which is a really good sports shop, and guess what I got: I got the new England football kit and also some new football boots,which are named Nike total 90 laser 2.

Talking about football I persuaded my mum to let me watch the Manchester united vs. Porto football games,both legs,I wasn't very impressed by the way man united played but they still won on aggerant 2-3 so now they will face arsenal in the semi final.

After a week and a half in England we went to Ireland to go to a wedding.It was absolute freezing,but I got used to it,the temperature was 5 degrees to 7 degrees.The outfit I had to where was a pair of skinny black jeans(I wore those jeans for the school assembly)with a shirt that had strips down the middle I also wore a jet black skinny tie.The wedding wasn't much fun because I am the youngest in my family.The people who were getting married were uncle Alvin and auntie Rita.

To the conclusion I had a great Easter holiday.

Tom's news

Hi guys, sorry I haven't wrote but I've been busy!

Right now I'm in the middle of the Indian ocean on a very hot day. Normally I don't have much to do, so I just read (I've read nearly all he books!) play game boy or go on the computer.

BUT, sometimes dolphins jump out of the water and swim with the boat. It's amazing watch them jump out of the water and do amazing somersaults, we looked up in a marine life book, it was a Spinner Dolphin, which had a grey outline on it's ribs and white for the belly. It also had a black for It's back.

But one day on the Thursday the 23rd We caught a BLUE MARLIN!!! It was a baby one though. We let it go because it was soooo beautiful! It had grey stripes on its belly and a pale blue colour for its belly too. Then on top it had a dark deep navy blue o top. It also had a white and navy blue striped fin and a bluesh-blackish nose to stun prey, it was hooked there too so we just had to do a sharp jerk up and, it was gone!

Now only 2 days 'till we get to the Maldives, and when we get there me and James are going to do a scuba-diving course!

VIBRATIONS - Dancing Rice

As part of our theme work we are looking at Sound - how we hear it and how sounds vary. On Thursday 22nd April Mr Watson enjoyed showing year 5JW & 5KON his drum kit.

We talked about sound being made from vibrations and this clip helps illustrate that point - the harder the snare drum is hit, the bigger the vibrations are. Just watch the rice to see this is true.

Watch and enjoy!

Angela's bad day

I had a very bad Friday!I was at the autodrome AGAIN!But thats not the bad news. It's worse! April Friday 24th 2009, was the champion ship!And on the practice lap for the motor bikes, FIVE riders including my dad, crashed into each other on one of the corners! When my grandma found out she started to cry, because my dad along with the other 4 riders got sent to the hospital. My dada's friend Meidi asked my gran if she would like to come with him to the hospital. And she left with him. It took 3 or 4 hours for my gran and dad to come back! My dad was still alright! He had a big bruse on his chest and cheek. I was so happy that my dad was still alive! But there was some more bad news for my dad. He was at hospital through all the races! So he wasn't champ of the year... So he was quite heart-broken! And so I wasn't really like my usual smiley face that time. Atleast I still had my dad. That was the WORST FRIDAY EVER! And scary.

Elephant Dung!

After watching and enjoying our fantatsic class assembly yesterday, Freya D (Y3) & Sebastian D (Y1) brought us a gift today!!!

Mr Watson's Easter news

I had a good Easter break and enjoyed having some time off. I stayed in Dubai for the school holidays. I did quite a lot of relaxing and reading and enjoyed some time on the beach.


One of the best things I did over the holidays was to go to JAM JAR again. This is the art studio where you can paint whatever you like. I used my second voucher that you all kindly got me for Christmas (THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN!!!)

This time I was inspired to do some paintings using lots of shades of Orange, Yellow and Red. I have been thinking and dreaming in Oranges of late!!! I had also looked at some of the work we saw when we visited the Bauhaus exhibition last term, and really like Josef Albers' work.

This is one of Josef Albers' famous paintings (left)

You can see some of Albers' work on the wall behind 5JW on the photo below:

This time I didn't take my Ipod and just enjoyed painting. I chose 3 small canvasses and tried to make them all similar in theme but still different, by slightly changing the patterns and shades of oranges.


They are going to go on the wall in my spare room - becuase they match the bed throw and curtains!!!

What do you think?







Mr Watson

SEED DISPERSAL!!!!!

SEED DISPERSAL, SEED DISPERSAL.... GOT TO SPREAD THE SEED!

A MASSIVE Congratulations to you all for your performance this morning in our class assembly - better late than never!!

I think you did a tremendous job. You all remembered your lines, the order and your actions. You all spoke with confidence and projected your voices well. A super effort and performance!!!

I am very proud of you all. Very well done!

Luke's brilliant new quad bike!

I want to tell you about my new quad bike. I got it in the holidays and it's a 110 cc with a top speed of80 km/h but I have not gone that fast yet. I only go off-road.

There is a sandy patch just up the road where I live.My sister also enjoys going on it but usually with me driving. Even my mom has been on the back and she was very scared.

It is red and black. I did not know that I was going to get it, so itwas a huge surprise when my dad said "Come and get the quad-bike outthe back of the car".

I was extremely happy and couldn't stop hugging him ! A few days later I bought a black helmet. When I first got it we had to jump start it using the car batterybecause the battery in the quad bike didn't have enough power to startit.Last week I also got a puncture so we had to go to DragonMart to get 2new tyres.

I have wanted a quad bike for a long time and I am so proud to own one now.

Becky's Water Park reviews

Waterparks in Dubai
I am lucky enough to have been to three water parks in the UAE! Here is my comparison of them:

Wild Wadi
Positives
reasonably good price
good selection of rides - best one: Juneirah Sceirah
imaginative ideas

Negatives
only a few rides
risk of scraping your back on uphill rides
food service quite slow



Aquaventure - Atlantis Hotel

Positives

The Leap of Faith - scariest ride in the world!
Good variety of food
nice beaches
Negatives

Extremely long queues to get in
Disorganised
very expensive to get in

Dreamland Aquapark - Umm AL Qwain

Positives

cheap
no queues for rides or to get in
imaginative rides e.g. the washing machine

Negatives

an hour's drive from Dubai
it could do with a clean up and nicer changing rooms

Overall, my favourite waterpark is Dreamland although I did enjoy them all. Let me know which is your favourite!

Paul's holiday news

My Holiday to Fujairah.

During the Easter break my family and I spent a few days in Fujairah at the Sandy Beach Hotel. It’s really nice there, not at all glitzy like most Dubai hotels. From our hotel room we looked right at the beach and the Arabian ocean and Snoopy Rock. On our first day after a very long drive, we took the long way round!! We spent the whole afternoon and evening on the beach playing and trying to catch crabs! There were hundreds of them living in the rocks. We saw some really big ones and I even caught one with my net but it managed to get away. When we got there we were told there had been an oil spill off the coast and we may see some globs of oil on the beach, we did not see any but our feet were black with oil. It’s really hard to get it off. I hope when we go again we won’t have the same problem. Me and my dad made a three tunnel trench which lasted until the tide came in. We had a really good time and had an unforgettable experience.

Movie Review - Hotel for dogs

In the holidays I went to Ashleighs sleepover party, Part of the plan
was to go to the movies. I actually did'nt know what we were seeing
and it turned out to be 'Hotel for Dogs' and it was a really good film!

There were two main characters Andy played as Emma roberts, and
her brother Bruce, played as Jake. T Austin. It was really funny, I
especially liked the wacko and bad singers parents!

Im not going to tell you what happens apart from the make a Dog
hotel for strays and visitors, and cooper a bulldog who eats anything
is there recycling bin!! If you do watch it sure you will enjoy it,
but there is a sad part so I advise you to bring some tissues!!

I thought it was a brilliant movie and I would like to see
it again!!

My new puppy - by Chris

MY NEW PUPPY!!!

On Thursday the 16 April, one of the gardeners brought in a stray puppyPekingese! We have tried to find the owners but unfortunately the dogdoesn't have a micro-chip. We have put a notice out with local vets.

We named the dog Lucy, since it was a girl. It has a flat face and reallybig, cute eyes. She is only 46 cm long. It is a really expensive dog worthabout 6000 TO 8 OR 9000 DHS!!!

My mum loves the new dog, but my dad thinks it's ridiculous flat face seemsrather odd!!! It gets on well with chewy, my other dog.

We hope we can keepher, if the owners don't claim her!!!

Alec's holiday report

During the holidays I went doughnuting which is where a speed boat pulls you around in a rubber ring at 35 knots and in my case an extremely choppy day on a rope. My friend Lewis came on the boat but was to sick to do it properly so I ended up going with teenager ... after a while we both agreed he was trying to get us off because we spent more time in the air than on the water and skidding like crazy. At one point I let go and was completely in air,thankfully I didn't fall in!

3 days later we came back to the beach club and went on a catamaran the group before us the another bunch of friends staying at our house saw a sea turtle while out at sea but me ,my dad and doug { my dads friend and a sailing instructor} however saw nothing. That's a bit sad don't you think anyway I had a fab time so never mind!

Lauren at Aquaventure

My Fun day at the Atlantis Aquaventure

On Wednesday me, my Mum, Matthew and Sam went to the water park at the Atlantis and we had lots of fun. When we got there tried to look for some seats to put our towels and bags on.
After we had found the seats I took the boys to the kids area, where the mini slides are, but the only one Sam would go on was the smallest slide because he was scared of the big bucket that would fill up with water and tip over him!
But Matthew went on the smallest slide and the 2nd smallest slide.
My favourite slide there was the pitch black one and the steep one.

On Friday we went there again with my Dad and I went on two of the big slides which was shark attack and the end of this really steep green slide.
However my Dad took me and Matthew to the rapids and Sam aterwards, but that was a bit boring.
We also went to the kids area again and Sam went on some of the big slides there as well.

I really enjoyed going there, I had so much fun!

Kristi's Easter holiday report

Over the Easter holidays my Granny and Papa were in Dubai visiting us from bonnie wee scotland! I love when we get to go back to Edinburgh (my home town) to see them and when they come over to see us in Dubai. we did lots of fantastic things when they were over like going to the Sharjah Aquarium, going ice skating, going on the big bus tour & many, many, many more great things. Even though it was really sad when they went away, we still did some fun things to end the holiday of freedom! We went to go and see Monsters vs Aliens @ the cinemas and we also went to see Hannah Montana The Movie @ the cinemas. As well as going to the cinemas we went to the Dubai Mall to The Aquarium & Underwater Zoo/ Te Discovery centre as most people know it as. When we walked through the Aquarium Tunnel all the sharks were gathered just beside the tunnel because they were scared of the divers th were swimming in the tank as well. I look at one very closely an I just thought they looked completely evil!!! Then we went up to The Dicovery Centre and looked at all the animals that were there.My favourite was the seahorses and th seadragons! Then w heard that there was fish food being sold to feed to all the fish in the aquarium, so we bought some! we fed it all to the fish and rays that were swimming close to the surfa. I really enjoyed my Easter Hols! Chow for Now!!!!!!!!!

Sami's Oman trip

Oman

I had a great time in Oman. I went to Oman for two days and three nights. I went with my mum,dad and my sister.

The best part of my tripwas when we went to the lava like souk. (You might be wondering why it was so hot? Well It was because there was no A.C.) When I got into the shops I was relieved... there was a fan. After a while I got used to the heat and got on to my mission of buying a dishdash and an Omani hat. Not long after that we went to a fantastic shop which sold everything that you can eat or drink and it was free. We bought three fresh green coconuts and we drank the bittery sweet juice.

I had a fantastic day and went to bed happily that night.

Adam at Anfield!

During the Easter holidays I have been back to England for a week.
My highlight of the week was going to see Liverpool FC play against
Blackburn.

On the 11th of April I set off to watch them play at the lunch time kick off.
We got the match day programme and then went
into the ground to watch the players warm up. When they had finished
they went to have their final team talk and then came out of the tunnel.
Before they started, there was a 1 minute silence for the 96 people who
died at the Hillsbourgh disaster.

As soon as the game had started there was action. Fernando Torres
controlled a high ball and volleyed passed the keeper. Great goal.
A header followed and we went into the break 2-0 up. I bought a
hot dog at half time and then sat down to watch the second half.

In the second half we scored another two goals. Daniel Agger
scored a fantastic long range shot. It flew into the top corner
like a rocket. Finally, at the very end David Ngog scored a header
into the bottom corner. We ended up winning 4-0. It was a fantastic
game and I am so glad I went to it.

Hope you all had a good holiday.

Adam

Zac's 'Australia' review

A few days ago I saw the movie Australia. I thought it was a fantasticmovie. The movie has two themes; the first theme is about getting thecattle from Faraway Downs to Darwin to sell to the army. The secondtheme is about the Japanese invading Australia. The main charters are Lady Ashley, Drover and a half cast boy called Nulla.
The story beginsin England where Lady Ashley wants to go to Australia and persuade herhusband to sell Faraway Downs. When she arrives in Darwin she meets a man called Drover whose job is to move cattle from one place toanother. Drover takes Lady Ashley to Faraway Downs. When they get there they find out that her husband got killed by King George they think with a glass tip spear.
That night Lady Ashley meets a half castboy called Nulla who claims he can use magic. Nulla tells her aboutthe cattle from Faraway Downs crossing the river into Carnies territory. In the morning she tells Fletcher what Nulla had told her.Then Nulla said that Fletchers a lier so Fletcher chases after Nulla and hits him. Lady Ashley then fires Fletcher.
Later Drover comes toFaraway Downs and Lady Ashley tells him what had happened. So Droverdecides to help Lady Ashley. The next day they get ready to go. It takes them many days to get to Darwin. When they get to the Darwin they loaded the cattle just before carnies.
Sometime later, whilstDarwin was being evacuated in preparation of a possible Japaneseinvasion, Nulla gets taken to Mission Island where all half-castechildren live. Two months later Lady Ashley goes to a radio tower tospeak to Nulla but is interrupted by Japanese fighter jets bombing Darwin. Everybody was scared because they were bombing the houses and towers. After the bombing people were helping putting out all the fires.
Drover and his aboriginal friend went to rescue all the kids onMission Island. When Drover arrives at Mission Island he finds all thekids hiding in the trees. They all see a light from some Japanesesoldiers they run down to the boat while Drover's Aboriginal frienddistracts the soldiers. When they are all on the boat they see Droversfriend get shot. When they arrive back in Darwin the see Lady Ashley and they all go back to Faraway Downs.
I thought the story wasfantastic because its full of surprises. The story made me feel happyand sad at different parts.

Kian's Arabian Night

Arabian Night's

On the Friday 10th April me,my brother (Max),my mum,my dad,my two cousins (Johnny and James),my uncle chris and my mums two best freinds (Sue and Chiz) all went to a Desert Safari called Arabian Nights.The jeeps picked us up at 3:00pm and we started our Journey,it was about an hour and a half ride and it was very boring.When we arrived all I could see was firey red sand.

We did lots of cool activities like sand boarding,camel riding,hena painting,dressing up in local dress,quadbiking and for the adults sheeshka pipes,but my favourite activity was dune bashing.

When we climbed in to the trucks I wasn't scared but when we set off I was really scared. The dunes were masive,we went up some really big ones which made me feel sick and cry. When we arrived at the stopping point I was glad not to be in the car, but then my dad asked me if I wanted to go on a private ride with him, Chris, my brother, my cousins and Chiz. (They all said that my mum and Sue made me cry so I took their word for it.) So I said yes and off we went over huge dunes and not caring if I was going to flip over.

After the ride I was really proud that I got back in the car and went for another ride,it was a great experiance and would reconmend it to every body.But make sure you get a guide called Amdam.

It was a great day!!!!

Jemima's Easter Holiday News

Hi everyone,

In the holidays I went to a place called Ferry Farm , near my Granny and Grandad's house. We were the first people there so the goats started to chase us because of the food bags we had.Whilst the goats were being fed we walked round the farm we fed the other goats and the horses. We watched the pigs rolling about in the mud like lunatics. We then went to feed the baby lambs. The first one was very greedy and tried to drink all of the milk.The second lamb was a bit fussy so he had to be given to the farmer and I got a different one - a little black lamb. He was very greedy as well.

We had an icecream, fed the goats again and went home. I enjoyed my trip a lot .

Have a great Spring Holiday and a good rest. Well done on such a successful term and thank you for your hard work and effort.
It was really touching to see how much you cared about your colleagues that have sadly left at the end of this term. It is always difficult but we know Tom and Kirsten will kepp in touch and let us know how they are getting on. For Tom his big world wide boat adventure is just beginning and for Kirsten her adventure back to South Africa I am sure will be exciting.

Book day was great and you all looked superb as Narnia characters. I was very impressed with the amount of effort you put into your costumes - I particularly liked the Wardrobes!!

I am looking forward to next term and am sure it will be as jam packed and busy as this one. Hopefully your assembly on the first Wednesday (22nd April) will go ahead without any problems and defintely no rain! Mr Watson said how pleased he was with the maturity and understanding you showed when the assembly had to be called off. Please remind your mums and dads about it.

Enjoy the rest of the holiday and ..... Happy Blogging!

Angela's birthday

I had a great birthday party at Ski Dubai! I had it on the 4 th of April. My real B-day is on the 5th.I had so much fun! Lauren and I were playing survival in the snow!It was so much fun. We went across the snow bridge on top. My dad got so many photos! Me and Lauren had a picture with the polar bear. I had a great time!

WOW - You guys are LUSH!

I was so proud of you in circle time today - the way you maturely handled saying farewell to Tom and Kirsten was amazing. You are all true stars.

You all looked brilliant today and gave them both a terrific send off!

Well done everybody.

Buddy Reading

We have been working with our friends from Year 1 this week . We have been their buddy readers!

We have had lots of fun reading books to them and with them. We have also written our own books to read to them all about our chosen insect.

A sad day too! Good Bye and Good Luck!

Today was a sad day in 5JW too - Tom and Kirsten both having their last day at Kings' Dubai! There were lots children we were saying farewell to in school today - Mrs Watson wished them all well in assembly

Tom and his family have been part of Kings' for almost 4 years now (Tom joined in Year 2) and are off an an amazing and exciting journey on their boat, to South Africa, before heading back to Australia to live. We wish them all well and look forward to hearing all about their travels.

Kirsten and her family have been at Kings since she joined part way through Year 1 - so over four years! Kirsten is returning to South Africa with her mum, dad and brother Iain.

In 5KON Freya and Laura are also sadly both leaving Kings' today - they were in Mr Watson's very first class at Kings' in Year 1. Lots of happy memories from the last 5 years!

We will miss them all lots and lots!

Good luck to all of the children who are leaving and their families too. We wish them all the best for the future and hope to keep in touch.

Lots of love from Mr Watson, Mrs Hislop and all of 5JW!

Check out the photo's below :

On Wednesday the1 st of April Kings Dubai did a swimming gala.
Unfortunately I was ill so I wasnt able to do the gala, which was really disappointing.
I cheered my team on (hanover) really loudly, so load that my head nearly fell off!!!
In the end Hanover came 4th, Stuart were 3rd,Tudor were second and Windsor were 1st.
Windsor won over all and got a trophy but Hanover got a smaller trophy. But Mrs Watson said
that they ment the same things. Anyway Hanover won the best surporting team cup and we were delighted that we got it.

Everyone did really well and swam awesomely!
We weren't upset that we were 4th and after that went back to school and were chuffed with ourselves!

Paul's news

Last term I decided to join the afterschool horse riding activity. The first lesson was so scary! They put me on a huemungse horse.I really do not like heights, so I hung on with all my might & only managed to walk during my first lesson. I did do the ‘round the world in your saddle’ game but I found it difficult to keep my balance. As the weeks have passed I have learnt a lot about horses during the ‘stable management’ course which you also get during the hour lesson. Well, after eight weeks of lessons I can now trot sitting bolt upright with eyes focused through the horses ears, holding my reins correctly and leading my horse Lena without my horse guide. I really love riding and would recommend it to my friends to join next term when we start again.

One day our normal teacher Rommy was off sick so we had another lady to teach us, she was really fun and taught us to play ‘Traffic Lights’ on your horse! Red means stop, orange means walk and green means trot as fast as you can to the other side of the arena to win. A great game.
