My trip to Dubai Eye It was a really hot day and I was waiting for my mum to leave so I could go to the Dubai Eye studio. Different emotions went through me. Was it tension or excitement? Fear or happiness? It was all a mash-up of happy and sad emotions. Finally we left at 10.20 and arrived at B216 at 10.40. As we made our way up, my mum told me to chill as i was feeling nervous. Eventually, after what seemed like an eternity later, we reached the recording studio. I took a seat and took a look at my book, Crowns and Codebreakers by Elen Caldecott. Then I looked at the control panel and heard the programme, Book Champion. At around 11.00, Imogen came and the host, Penny came to introduce us to the people and what we were going to do. As we listened to the interesting show called Book News, the emotions I had earlier were happening again. After the break I had to start speaking. After the event was over I felt relieved and my legs were like jelly. However, I really wish I could come again and do this amazing experience again! Who knows who else would come next? by Anay 5E On Saturday, Anay and I had the fantastic opportunity to do a book review on Dubai Eye radio. We were very nervous when we arrived at the studios, however we soon relaxed as the two presenters were really friendly. We had been asked to read ' diamonds and daggers' and 'crowns and code breakers' by Ellen Caldecott. The presenters talked to us about the books, the Emirates Literature Festival and ourselves. It was really interesting to see how a live show is put together from such a small room! We would like to thank Mrs Green and Dubai Eye radio for this amazing opportunity. |
If you will be in Years 4-6 next year and would like to join a fun scrabble league, please contact Mrs. Green [email protected] before June 21st.
Last year there was a national scrabble competition held in Dubai in November which several of our students entered, one of whom won 3rd place and a large cash prize! This JPS scrabble league will help you to practice against fellow JPS students, to develop your skills further. The league is not for beginners, you need to be know the rules of scrabble already and be happy to give up some of your break times to enter the league. If you are in Year 4 or Year 5 and are a keen writer, you are invited to submit a poem or story to Mrs. Green, to be considered for the Emirates Literature Festival competitions.
You may either write a story of less than 500 words or a poem of 32 lines or less. The theme of your writing is "Journeys" You may work on this obver the summer, when you are happy with your poem or story (or both), please email it to [email protected] or share it with me on google drive. Last year Jasper in Year 5 got a poem published and the year before Juna form Year 6 got a story published. The standard is very high, as there is a lot of competition and only 3 stories or poems get published, so use all your best story writing features. looking forward to receiving some super stories over the summer. Mrs. Helen Green If your child is in Years 3 - 6 and has attended any events this year, organised by the GT department, then you are cordially invited to the GT Awards ceremony on June 21st from 8.45 am until 10.00 am. We will be celebrating the participation and achievements of all participants. Parents should all have had letters of invitation, however, I am aware of a few letters that didn't make it to the child or parent. We look forward to seeing you on the 21st to celebrate another wonderful year of events at JPS.
