KG-2 EXCITING
GRAUDUATION
First things first, we
decided what will be the
theme for the commence-
ment exercise, and we
came up with a very
glamorous idea that best
suit for kids, the Disney
theme wherein it focuses
on Frozen, the most pop-
ular story for kids now a
days.
Kids are as excited as
their teachers that they
are very eager to learn
their sing and dance per-
formance which is also
based on Disney songs.
Tasks are being distribut-
ed to every teacher to
start the preparation.
The preparation isn’t that
easy because it emotion-
ally and physically tiring
but it is fulfilling after
seeing how wonderful the
result is. Everything is
all set, everything is
ready and the spotlight is
on.
Parents are one of the
most proud of this
moment, they will be see-
ing their sons and daugh-
ter as the march towards
their dreams. One of the
most exciting momentum
for a dreamer has ar-
rived.
The day they have been
waiting for to reap every-
thing they saw for almost
2 years on the happiest
stage of education, the
kindergarten.

Ken-ken competition
results
The term originates from the Japanese word meaning cleverness. KenKen puzzle was created by a Japanese math teacher Tetsuya Miyamoto, who aimed to develop an instruction- free training method for the brain, in the form of a simple puzzle. KenKen trains the mind to think on its feet.
Ken Ken is a math grid-based puzzle that
uses all 4 numerical operatives, namely ad-
dition, subtraction, multiplication and divi-
sion. One can alter the size of the grid be-
tween 3×3 and 9×9 and create infinite
number of puzzles with varied levels of dif-
ficulty. It is a unique combination of num-
ber dexterity and combinatory skills while
applying logical reasoning to arrive at a so-
lution.
KenKen combines plain mathematics with 2
crucial skills like logical reasoning.
● Back in the classroom, it develops prob-
lem solving, reasoning and communica-
tion.
● Expose your child to a global platform
where he/she interacts with peers from
different schools and countries.
● It instills a sense of determination, con-
fidence and resilience.
● Above all, KenKen is a fun way to do
Math!

IJPS JOINS ARABIC READING
CHALLENGE
By: Sara Shadi
12th of April, 2018-
IJPS Library, students of IJPS partici-pated in the yearly Arabic Reading Challenge. Led by Miss, Dalia Ali (Vice Principal) and Miss Hana (Librarian), they asked students from different grade levels some questions regarding the 50 books required in the competi-tion.
Reading is probably one of the most benefi-
cial and feasible activities that a person can
do. Through reading, a person is going to be
able to discover new ideas, concepts, places,
and people. Some people even describe read-
ing as a journey that starts as the opening of a
page, and finishes as the last page is turned.
The reason why reading is so important is be-
cause reading is relaxing to our mind; it is a
way for children to reach out to the world,
and improve our thinking process.
The Arabic reading challenge is one of the
things that we can train our minds with. This
challenge has its complexities but fun. All you
have to do to enter this challenge is to read
fifty Arabic books then summarize them all.
It seems complicated at first but then you re-5
alize that it is fun. A very good advice I can
give is that, if you take this challenge as a
task you need to do or you are forced to do,
then it will be complicated but, if you take it
as something you are willing to do or a pas-
sion, you will find this experience a very
pleasant experience and an entertaining one
too.
I was one of the 6 students qualified in this
competition. I was nervous, I am not going
to lie but, I had fun. I entered the room and
there were two men waiting for me, I sat
down and I gave them the books that I sum-
marized; All of the fifty books. They asked
me my name and why I participated in this
competition. Then, they told me the name of
the book and I have to tell them the sum-
mary. They were giving us marks based on
our language, confidence, and how well we
memorized the books.
I was the only one who got qualified for the
Emirates level from my school. I went to the
semi-final round that was held on June 9,
2018 in Dubai, Scientific Research School. I
was nervous and excited at the same time,
but mostly I was proud to represent my
school in this competition. I am also proud
of myself because I read fifty books and
summarized them all, so I think that was
enough to present myself and present my
school.
