In order to help children of the boarding department improve their
English, a summer-school program was held from Wednesday 14 till
Saturday 24 August 2019.
Liyah Naim, daughter of Mrs. Lisa Naim, taught 12 children from
Grades 1 to 3 who needed extra lessons in English.
The program was
kindly sponsored by our Swiss partners SVS (
Schweizer
Verein für die Schneller schulen im Nahen Osten). It included
morning hours and afternoon activities.
The morning hours were
structured into three parts.
During the first part Liyah used the
textbooks of the previous academic year to make a comprehensive
revision for each individual child of last year's lessons.
The
children watched part of a children's cartoon or movie in the second
part, and after that Liyah engaged them in conversation about the
movie to assess and assist their comprehension.
In the last part,
Liyah did arts and crafts activities with the children.
Liyah was
assisted by educators from the boarding department.
The educators
took full charge of the children in the afternoons and evenings and
organized additional activities for them.
We thank Liyah Naim for her wonderful work with the children.
We also thank our Swiss
partners SVS for sponsoring the summer-school program, and for their
kind support of our school.
