A message from Rachel

Hi Everyone!




Its me Rachel, back in Ireland but sometimes I wish I was still in Dubai...

I really miss all my friends and I really miss Kings! Its lashing rain here as I speak but I wish it was nice and sunny like Dubai!

I've started back at my old school across the road from my house, and everything seems so new to me, like Irish (which I really hate!!) but I still use my Kings Dubai school bag for school! I have millions of entrance exams coming up at Christmas and we're studying like mad for them!! I'm just after recovering from a head injury after I fell of my bike up the road 2 weeks ago. I am fianally allowed to take part in P.E again after 2 weeks of sitting on the side watching everyone have fun because after my fall I was'nt allowed to run for two weeks.



Well, I wish everyone the best at their new schools!!!!



Rachel :)

Mr Jones says

I hope this letter finds you all well. I know that since I left Kings' there have been some new arrivals to the class. So I will say to those guys - I'm sorry I did not get to meet you but you joined a great bunch and got your timing just right! To those I did meet, and had the lucky fortune to teach, I have these words:


As a teacher you teach so many children. At times, the job to difficult - there is a considerable amount of marking, a great deal of planning and the energy you expel can just wear you out! However, with each class there are so many rewards and memories created that if you are lucky enough - all those challenges are soon forgotten. At the end of a school day you can be extremely frustrated with the children or even yourself! However, after some time of reflection, if you are lucky enough, the achievements of the children you teach can blow away those frustrations.

I was lucky enough to teach you. Mr Watson and I taught some of you when you were only five years old He has taught you recently and I managed to teach you again in Year 4. I can only look back at my time teaching this year group with fond memories - talented artists, actors, writers, readers, sportsman, historians and the list goes on - well it will if I let Jamal have his say ;-). Only joking. I hope that Kings' has given wonderful memories to add your childhood. I am certain you have the skills that allow you to move onto the challenges your high schools will greet you with. I have every confidence you all will succeed in life. All the best Year 6! All the best!


Mr Jones

Mr Watson says: GOOD LUCK AND GOODBYE!

Year 6,

Well this has been an emotional week..... for us all!

I have been very lucky to have been part of outstanding Kings'  for 6 years - and spent 3 of my happy years with this year group. I feel so close to you and feel very lucky to have been your teacher.

It’s not all just about people who have been here for a long time – each and every one of you in this year group is truly special.  Whether you are an old familiar face  from year 1 or a brilliant addition  somewhere along the amazing journey, you are ALL STARS!

Miss Bates has been  a terrific addition to the Kings’ team and we have had a great year together with you.

 I love the way Miss Bates , Mrs Kenny and I have worked as a team with you  folks. I have really enjoyed year6. Miss Bates cares as much about you  as I do!

We have pushed you hard,  encouraged and supported you and set you plenty of challenges. You have met us on each occasion – never disappointing us. We have had a terrific time. What a year!

So you amazing young people are set to leave us. You  move on as capable academics, confident social communicators, mature and positive workers and as infectious characters. You  leave with many happy memories and with so much to offer your new schools. We will miss each and every one of you and wish you all the best on for their next chapter of your lives.


Good luck Year 6. Please keep in touch. Lots of Love from us all at Kings’

Lots of love Mr Watson
;-)

Don't Forget Us - A poem that says it all - the masterpiece by Hazel and Kristi

Don’t Forget Us




Here is a poem we’ve written for you,

We hope you enjoy it, every word of it’s true,

It’s about the people in JW and LBa,

We are reading it to you on our very last day.



Miss Bates is unbelievably fun,

Mr Watson likes telling awful puns.

Mrs Kenny is our wonderful TA,

Mrs Putt teaches us every Monday.



Hannah is a fantastic friend,

Rose will be a monkey until the end.

Oisin will be found kicking a ball,

A great singing voice belongs to Paul.



Matthew played Oliver Twist,

In a performance that was not to be missed.

The Artful Dodger was played by Chris Greaves,

He was in charge of the stealthy thieves.



Zac can rock out on the cymbals and drums,

Adam B is speedy when working out sums.

Olivia is sensible, calm and down to earth,

Corynn can be found tightening a girth.



Alizaky’s like a dictionary, he’s so smart,

Ashleigh is great at drawing and art.

Francesca Boni loves to swim,

Charlotte always breaks a limb!



Ellie is hyper and bonkers they say,

Eloise smiles throughout the day.

Tomas runs like lightening in a race,

Sami always has a happy face.



Josh D is fab and brilliant at cricket,

He bowls the ball towards the wicket.

Adam O can swing the cricket bat,

Whereas Rachel loves to stroke fluffy cats.



Emily is really friendly and funny,

Claire has a personality that is sunny.

Alec plays music on his saxophone,

Angela gets on with work and never moans.

 
 
On Victorian day Dan got the cane,


Lauren likes driving Mr. Watson insane!

Caring Molly has a golden heart,

Richard is always neat and smart.



Jamal acted in the Macbeth Show,

To see him perform we did go,

Kian is a fish in the swimming pool,

Rory’s so kind hearted - he shines like a jewel.



Natasha can rally over the net,

She’s amazing at tennis, on that you can bet!

Serena is good-natured, affectionate and fair,

If you need help, then Lucy is there.



Becky shines in her work at school,

James M can rap, now that is cool!

Luke made a fab penguin photo- story,

Dylan celebrates in rugby glory.



Felix is a whiz with computers for sure,

James D can do flips over the floor.

Josh P is respectful and helpful too,

Now just two more people to share with you.



Kristi is awesome, a friend to everyone,

Working with her has been so much fun!

Hazel is funny, talented and sweet,

Working with her has been such a treat!



It’s the end of the poem; it’s the end of the year,

We have to leave Kings, but we’ve loved it here

So farewell and masalama to Kings’ Dubai

We really don’t want to say goodbye

Hazel Swift & Kristi Flanagan

Hazel reviews The Return to the Forbidden Planet

Production Review by Hazel S


On Tuesday 22nd the whole of Yr 6, Yr 5, and Yr 4 did two performances of our end of year production ‘Return to the Forbidden Planet.’ The first one was early in the morning, and the hall was about three quarters full. The first scene was the role call. Oisin started the play by shouting out to “All Crew.” First everyone declared themselves present, then the preflight checks were commenced, the Polarity Reversal drill demonstrated, and the Science Officer was introduced.


The captain of the ship, Captain Tempest and the Science Officer had a huge fight and sang This is a Mans World, all because the Science Officer was a woman. To take the heat out of the situation, the Damage Control tried to help, but ended up getting in a muddle with the Fire and Evacuation Officers. Then the ship flew into an asteroid storm predicted by the Weather Officer, and at the same time the Science Officer escaped on a shuttlecraft. After the storm, the ship got caught in a tractor beam from a strange planet D’ylliria, on which lived Prospero, the evil scientist, his daughter Miranda and his robot Ariel.

Prospero explained why he needed their help and came aboard with Ariel. The translators translate Ariel’s speech until he tells them to go away. Because the captain planned a huge feast for Prospero, the Fitness Officers instructed a workout for all crew and passengers. Then on came Miranda, and Cookie, the ships cook, instantly fell in love with her. He sang Good Vibrations. The doctor on the ship was worried as he thought that vibrations on the ship could be harmful, and so his nurses showed him why they weren’t.

Then Miranda gave Cookie a kiss on the cheek, and he was overjoyed, and sang I Ain’t Gonna Wash for a Week. Ariel discovers that the Science Officer is returning to the ship, and tells Bosun, the Commander of the Bridge. Ariel then explains to Captain and Bosun about the secret drug that Dr. Prospero created. Prospero overhears and gets angry, singing I’m Gonna Change the World. Miranda then asks her father why he is angry, as she is in love with Captain Tempest. Prospero grows mad with rage and slaps Miranda, who cries. She sings Teenager in Love. She asks Captain if he loves her and he says she is too young, and sings Young Girl. Cookie comes on feeling sad as he has just found out that Miranda is in love with Captain Tempest, not him. He then sings She’s Not There.

 Miranda, Cookie and Prospero all feel very confused and sing All Shook Up. Suddenly the Science Officer is found on the Radar being chased by a monster. Then Ariel and the Science Officer arrive in the airlock, and the crew sing Gloria. It turns out the Science officer is Gloria, Prospero’s evil wife! Ariel fights the monster until the spies come and wrestle with it, then Ariel zaps it with a laser. Gloria is sent to jail and Ariel sings Who’s Sorry Now. A damage report arrives, the Klystron Generator is overloaded.

Meanwhile, Cookie makes a deal with Gloria to win Miranda and obtain the Xfactor blueprints. The spies overhear them and begin to search for the blueprints. The ship then reaches condition Alpha, and the only way to repair it is by Reverse Polarity! The ship is fixed and Gloria sings Tell Her. Then Miranda tries to attract the Captain by slapping on makeup. In fact it scares him! Ariel thinks that she should try and make him jealous, so she pretends to like Ariel and sings Robot Man. Then Cookie arrives with the stolen blueprints and there is a huge fight, which ends up with Ariel eating the blueprints. Another monster is created from the mind of Ariel. Prospero has to fight it to destroy it, and Gloria sings Go Now, before he leaves. After he has gone they discover that Prospero also created D’ylliria! The planet self destructs, and the ship takes off into space. Then everyone sings the finale of Hey Mr. Spaceman, Monster Mash and Great Balls of Fire. Then there are bows and it’s the end of the production!

James D's memories of Kings'

Kings Memories



All of Kings' members have been so kind to me and I will never forget this wonderful school.

I have been at Kings' for 5 years and I have not once yet regreted being here.

All the teachers and other members of staff never let me down,
because their always so caring. My favourite theme was Touching the Void, it was outstanding, just like Kings'. We all did some
brilliant detailed writing, and after that we drew and painted some sketches.

I will miss Kings' alot and especially all my friends

Josh P says....

I have really enjoyed doing March of the Penguins and Myst progect. I have also enjoyed Dibba when Mr Watson got pushed in the pool. I have really really really enjoyed year 6.

Josh D's refelction of Kings'

My time at Kings’ Dubai



I have only been in Kings’ for 1 year yet I have enjoyed it thoroughly and it has been an adventure for me. Every day I learn something new and it has been great fun. I will be sad that it has only been 1 year and I will miss a lot of my friends who are moving to different schools or countries. I am exited that for secondary school but I will miss the simplicity of primary. All in all it was a great experience

Richard's RTTFP review

Return to the forbidden planet


Review

I think ‘Return to the forbidden planet’ was one of the best productions ever. It had a good storyline and everyone tried their best. The story line was hard to understand at first but in the end I got it. I liked my part a lot and I got lots of laughs. It was funny how everyone’s had something to do with their role. Some parts that were just a bit funny were made very funny because of the acting like Alec’s line and Alizaki’s. I think I did well with my part and I enjoyed singing the songs. One of my favourite parts was when we did the fitness drill but I can’t choose. My favourite song was teenager in love and ain’t gonna wash for a week. Hazel, Rory and James M put lots of effort in but so did everyone else. I hope at DC we will do something as good as that.

Richard 6 years of Kings'

My time at Kings’


I have been at Kings’ for six years and it has been a blast. Over the years I have grown to know the school, the staff and the children. I have enjoyed all the fun activities we did such as Dibba, Kalba and other various field trips. I also liked all the themes and topics we did like Ancient Greeks, planets and Vikings. When I move to DC I will miss the school and everything I did.

Olivia's Return To The Forbidden Planet Review

Return to the Forbidden Planet Review


It was really fun doing Return to the Forbidden planet, I had a great time and I imagine everyone else did too! I loved the singing and dancing and cool sound effects, like when you would walk through the Air Lock. I thought everyone did really well especially people like Hazel and Ellie, who had loads of lines to learn!

My favourite part of the show was when we did the finale and we sung ‘Monster Mash’ and ‘Great Balls of Fire!’ I thought it was really fun and I loved the dance! It was really great and enjoyable and also a bit sad; our last show at Kings’!
