This is one element that makes The Pearl so special.

“What makes us proud is not the height of our buildings, but rather the open-ness and tolerance of our nation.”

Sheikh Mohammed speaking about The Year of Tolerance

Last Weeks of Term …

The children have now completed their GL assessments and the outcomes are outstanding – well-done children and teachers. The effort the children have put on their learning has resulted in the best GL results we have ever achieved. Over the next few weeks, the teachers will be combining these assessment re-sults to the observations they make in the classroom to enable them to make

the final grading for the school reports and end of year results. These last few weeks are incredibly important for the education of the children especially as we have such a long summer break as such we expect 100% attendance until the 4th July.

Ramadan Collections

If you have not already contributed to our Ramadan collection, and wish to do so, please bring you Red Crescent tin or donation for our learning bags to recep-tion when we return to school. We will arrange the collect on the donations af-ter Thursday 13th June.

The teachers are extremely proud of their determination and resilience throughout the English, Maths and Sci-ence tests the past few weeks.

After writing it, we worked together to edit and improve our work, realising that it helps to read our work aloud when making changes.
