Hi Miss Lees and Year 6
How are you? We have just finished our theme lesson and thought we would send you a quick email. We like your school website and all the photographs you have on there. We also liked looking at your class photographs you seem a nice bunch. We have been chatting about England and looking where Nottingham is using Google Earth. We are wondering what the weather is like over there? The temperature here is about 30 degrees although we had some excitement as it rained this morning - the last time it rained here was in January.
We are very jealous that you have a dining room with dinner ladies! We have the Kings Dubai Restaurant our job is to monitor our tables and help clean them, we also help to look after the younger ones who sit with us. We have lots of questions to ask you such as; what subjects do you enjoy learning about? Do you have a mix of nationalities in your class? How many children are in year 6? We only have 6 girls in our class out of 21! Do you have House teams? We have Yellow Windsor, Blue Stuart, Green Hannover, Red Tudor. How many children go to your school? What are your hobbies and interests? We like all sorts of things especially football and swimming.
If you have time to answer that would be great either through email at yr6_kingsdubai@hotmail.com, by posting a comment onto our blog kingsdubai6pob.blogspot.com. We look forward to hearing from you. We can't wait to read some of your poems and learn a bit more about where you live. Have fun with Miss Lees.

Hi Keyworth!
I am kirra from Kings'Dubai school. I hope you enjoy looking at our blog, because we really enjoy publishing comments! We would like it if you published comments yourselves. Be sure to have a look at our Pupil Council members, because the presentations were very interesting. But also scary! Going up there was quite scary. Thanks!
Kirra B.
Hello there Class 6!
Thank you very much for your email, we loved reading it in our literacy lesson today- what a treat!
We took your virtual tour and we think your school is so cool. We are very jealous of your tennis court especially!
Surprise, surprise it's raining again- we can't believe it hasn't rained there since January, we are getting sick of wet plays.
Ali's Dad has been to Dubai and he loved it- we would all love to come over and see you. It may be a little expensive but we would love the experience. We will ask at our next school council meeting!
Beth is very excited about being able to wear her summer clothes in winter time!
Connor has done a head count, and we have 16 girls and 12 boys- what a lovely big class of 28. In our class we have a very wide range of hobbies from swimming to sketching, from dancing to Kung Fu! Our fab TA Mr Jones has just started a Kung Fu club so we will let you know how that goes. Hiiiiii YA!
We have so many brilliant clubs at Keyworth, such as computer club, chess club, singing, Kung Fu, drumming, netball, football and writing! Which clubs would you join if you were at our school? Have you got any other clubs?
In school at the moment we have been exploring Antarctica and we've become penguins! We have made our own penguin movies based on March of the Penguins. Jess and the other kids have throughly enjoyed using imovie, music, sound effects and images to create their masterpieces. As the task was so challenging, we worked in pairs so we could produce double the quality. All of our hard work has paid off and they are looking outstanding. We are trying to find a way to send you a few of our movies... it may take a while!
We hope you've had a lovely day and we hope to hear from you soon,
Miss Lees and the Class 6 crew x
HI IT IS RAKHIM
Hi Keyworth!
I have been having soooooo much fun writing and typing up MYST in our journeys. I hope you are having fun playing and writing up your MYST journeys. I miss the rain and wish I was in England! Te annoying thing in dubai is that when it does rain, it floods because there are no street drain so it is a nuisance getting to school. In January we missed school for a week because of the floods!
HOPE YOUR HAVING A GREAT TIME !
RAK :-)
Hello there again Miss Lees and Year 6 or 'Assalamualaikum' which is a form of greeting here in Dubai. It means 'peace be upon you' in arabic which is the local language here.
Thank you for your email - we would love you to visit but it is a bit expensive - we would love to come to England as we miss playing out in the rain and snow. Kirra, Cameron, Catherine and Kieron have never seen it snow outside before.
We have been busy bees today as we are working on our art work that is going to be used in an art exhibition at the Ductac Art Gallery near the Mall of the Emirates. We have been carefully painting our jungle scenes in the style of Rousseau - it is a painstaking task painting each individual leaf but they are looking more and more effective as we near completing them.
Your theme work sounds really good - we think we may look to learn about Penguins after the christmas break and if you are all experts then it would be great if you could help us with some of our research questions nearer the time.
Wow! What a lot of clubs you have we like the sound of the Kung Fu Club. We have lots of clubs such as football, tag rugby,netball, choir, swimming, cheerleading, chess, quiz, art, horseriding, golf and surfing. Mr O'Brien runs the year 1 and 2 tennis club.
At the end of this month we are having an International Day and a National Day. On the International Day we have to dress up as our class country. In our class we are looking at USA. Mr O'Brien doesn't know what to go as yet so if you have any ideas to help him that would be great as he didn't like our idea of dressing up as the Statue of Liberty! We think the dress would have suited him. For our National Day the whole school are heading into the desert to learn about UAE culture - we can't wait for that. Are you going any trips this year? Have you got any different nationalities in your class?
We wondering what the times are for your school day? We have to start at 7:45am and we finish at 2:30pm. Can you tell us a bit more about your school. Do you have any specialist teachers? We have seperate teachers for music, french, pe and swimming.
Have a great day and look forward to hearing from you

I really like the poems that you have been writing - thanks Nicole and Olivia for sharing them.
Hmmmm... I wonder what your poem could be about Nicole?
It sounds very much like my drive to school every single day. I don't know if Miss Lees has told you but the driving out here is bonkers! Every journey you are almost guaranteed to see some insane drivers. The craziest things I have seen are cars reversing on the main motorway (Sheikh Zayed Road)because they have missed their junction. Cars parked in the very middle of the road because they can't find a parking space,and I have seen a few little crashes because everyone drives so closely to the car infront - thankfully I haven't seen anywone hurt.
We like the idea of having a buddy system at playtime we would like to know a bit more about that and perhaps Alice and Charlie could suggest it to our School Council.
Have a great day folks

thanks for emailing me back, the answer to my poem was......
shake-side road a round of applause if you got it right

Hey everyone its Olivia again! Could you tell me a bit more about King Of the Week and how it works. It's great that you like the idea about the buddy system. How it works is... if you have any problems about falling out with someone or you don't know where something is, they will try to solve it. It's really good! I would like to get to know you a bit more and what you get up to as well. See you soon.

Speak to you soon
Ali
hi this this is the class 5f ( its the class below 6s) this morning we have been learning about Dubai and sketching some camels its very interesting
bye from 5F!
Well haven't my class been a busy bunch! They are really enjoying messaging you all. They are even doing it when they get home- what dedication! Next week we will be doing even more poetry which we are really excited about. We will be becoming poets during a playtime so we can describe to you what a typical playtime is like at Keyworth. Fingers crossed it's not a wet break- it's a bit like a zoo then, all the lovely children seem to turn into wild caged animals!
If the weathers nice, you will probably think there's a lot of 'clowning around' during break. You'll see what we mean next week! We'll try to take some photos for you to help you imagine our breaks.
Well you're off on your weekend today- Hurray! Lucky for you lot! Have a lovely weekend,
Miss Lees and Co
HI ITS RAKHIM!
Hi Keyworth!
Do you know why Sheik Zayed road and what a Sheik is? Well first of all a Sheik or Sheikh (both are used) is like a king in the Middle East. So London is a Kingdom, and Dubai is a Sheikdom.
Sheik Zayed road now shoud be clear that it is a name of a Sheik. Specificly the father of the current Sheik who is Sheik Mohamed Bin Rashed Al Maktoum. sheik Zayed sadly died in 2004, and he built the Sheik Zayed road, and named it after himself.
RAK ;)
Hi guys unfortunately its just shab here and man weve come out with a record for our blog and a whopping 25 comments I just felt like acting ike mrs Anderson at the end of the week school assembly(for those of you who dont know she is our music teacher).
