ISG Virtual Sports Day - Thursday 23.04.2020

On Thursday the 20th of February 2020, Sara Village School celebrated its annual Sports Day. Children arrived to school dressed in house colours and gathered in the sports hall where they practiced their team chants and had their faces painted. After parading out onto the school playground, Sports Day began. Throughout the day, children participated in various events including a 60m dash, a sack race, Frisbee golf, and an assault course among other activities. At the close of the day, it was announced that the winning house team would be revealed in assembly on Sunday.

On Sunday, after arriving at assembly eagerly anticipating the results, Blue Team were crowned as this year’s winners. Congratulations to Blue Team and a special thank you to all those year 6 students who helped our PE teacher coordinate the event.

Year 5 have been learning all about rainforests as part of their class topic. On Thursday the 28th of November, they took centre stage to deliver an excellent assembly performance talking about animals found in rainforest climates as well as some of the challenges faced by rainforests such as deforestation. An excellent performance. Well done Year 5!

As their class topic, Year 4 students have been studying the Ancient Egyptians and on Thursday the 28th of November, Year 4 students boarded a bus and travelled to DBGS on a school trip in order to participate in an Ancient Egypt Day. SVS students dressed up in Ancient Egyptian clothes, gave a presentation to students at DBGS and took part in many fun activities.

On Wednesday the 13th of November, Sara Village School celebrated International Day. Children and teachers arrived to school dressed in the colours of their countries and some even wore traditional dress. In the morning, students in years 5 and 6 headed up to DBGS to join in with their International Day festivities, while students remaining at SVS sampled foods from around the world in their individual classes. During the afternoon, parents were invited into school to join in with our International Day parade to celebrate the diversity in our school. The day was a big success!

On Thursday the 17th of October, Year 4 delivered an amazing assembly performance on various aspects of life in Ancient Egypt, the topic they have been studying in class. As part of their assembly performance, Year 4 reenacted the story of King Tutankhamun in dramatic style dressed in traditional Ancient Egyptian garments. In addition to this dramatic performance, the audience were also entertained by Year 4 students sharing interesting facts about Ancient Egypt as well as prerecorded informational presentation by students providing details about several important Ancient Egyptian Gods. Well done Year 4.

On Monday the 14th of October, SVS students in Years 3 and 4 went on a school trip to visit The King Abdulaziz Center for World Culture also known as Ithra, located in Dhahran. While visiting Ithra, they listened to a book reading by French artist, author and illustrator, Herve Tullet and participated in a large scale art project with children from other schools.

Head Girl and Boy, Prefects and House Captains

On Sunday the 8th of September, SVS held an assembly to announce this year’s Head Girl and Boy, to reveal those chosen to be prefects, and also those chosen to be house captains. With so many responsible, conscientious and enthusiastic potential leaders in Year 6, choosing students for these positions of responsibility was particularly difficult this year. Well done to those selected and also to all those who put their names forward.

On Thursday the 5th of September, SVS held its first awards assembly of the new school year. In our weekly awards assembly, house captains reveal the weekly house point tally for each team, Kindness Book winners are awarded a certificate of recognition, and the Star of the Week for each class is chosen. Well done to all those children recognised in this week’s awards assembly. Keep up the good work!
