If anyone is still looking for staff. So sad.
A small influx of teachers have been informed by their new school in Dubai that their jobs are no longer available (Unsure if all from the same school) Contracts signed Some already in Dubai Some waiting to fly What an awful situation 😔

Many primary schools have made the transition from teaching reading primarily in small groups to whole-class teaching without considering one key component of what makes this such a potentially powerful change: class sets of books. 🧵 1/13

Next week at VHPS we will celebrate all things English and reading. Learning will focus around a beautiful text, "A Child of Books'' by Oliver Jeffers, and we will have fun events such as a Book Swap and Poetry Slam! On Thursday, 2nd March, it will be World Book Day.

It was our pleasure to host a MAGT Oracy event in collaboration with a range of schools across Dubai. The children excelled, and our judges Mr Mike and Mrs Sarah Lambert, had a hard task on their hands. A huge well done to @rpsdubai, who were our worthy victors. #oracy #vhps

It was wonderful taking our reading winners to the local book store to choose a book of their choice. Developing passionate readers is always a focus of ours at VHPS. A big thank you to @educatorabroad for organising 📖

Our Y6 children have been consolidating their learning on persuasive language, hyperbole, rhetorical questions and list of three through creating Air BnB adverts for their Roman Villas! #primaryenglish #teachmiddleast #edchat #collabUAE

Absolutely loving Y6! This week in English we explored Hyperbole in Pop Culture. We looked at Disney clips, memes and analysed song lyrics for examples. Sharing our thoughts on the effect the artists choice creates! #teachmiddleeast #edchat #collabUAE #primaryenglish #edchatuae

Some light holiday reading… ready to teach the Romans! @educatorabroad if anyone has any great ideas about teaching the Romans to Y6, please send them my way - this isn’t a history topic I’ve taught before 🙈
