😆😆😆 Celebrating 105 years of H H Sheikh Zayed with BODMAS😆😆😆

 Cross-curricular learning offers a creative way of developing knowledge, understanding and improving practical skills through a study of interconnected topics. The primary teachers engaged grade 5 students in an innovative activity “105 years of H H Sheikh Zayed” that integrated the rich culture of the UAE with Ordering Mathematical operations using BODMAS. Students used this concept to formulate multiple expressions that all yield the result 105.

Student Reflections - 

I always enjoy a challenge. When my math teacher mentioned we would be integrating My Identity into math, it fueled my curiosity to what the activity could be. H H Sheikh Zayed was born on 6th May, 1918.  To mark the importance of this day we used the four basic mathematical operations to celebrate His Highness’s 105th birthday. After understanding the significance of the order of operations using BODMAS I got to work and created as many expressions as I could to get the result 105! This activity was creative and innovative. Thank you Ms. Rafia for this enjoyable activity!! By - Deeksha Narasimman, Student of Grade 5B1 Fun with BODMAS I enjoyed this activity with BODMAS as it helped improve my creativity and taught me new concepts. The BODMAS order of operation is important because it gives us a standard method to follow while interpreting arithmetic expressions. Working on this activity helped me learn BODMAS in a fun and engaging way. Through this activity the process of learning met fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!  By:- Arshiya Student of Grade 5B1 BODMAS with My History is My Identity  When Ms. Rafia wrote the word “BODMAS” on the white board, I was intrigued and was curious to know what it meant. She started explaining in depth about this concept and how it is implemented. I learned that “BODMAS” is an acronym and each letter signifies a mathematical operation that helps us solve a multi operational complex equation in a precise pattern. I tried various combinations to get the number 105 and this was a fun way of learning a basic math concept. By:- Katelyn Student of Grade 5B1                              How did I celebrate H H Sheikh Zayed’s birthday? H H Sheikh Zayed was born on 6th May, 1918 and his birthday is a grand occasion celebrated in the UAE. I celebrated his birthday a bit differently this year by working on the “Fun with BODMAS” activity in Math class. It was an innovative activity where I thought of different ways to make 105, using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. How was the experience of BODMAS? This activity was fun to do and was an exciting experience. What new things did you learn? I learnt how to divide to get the answer 105. What challenges did I face in this activity? I faced a challenge when working on multiplication as I was really confused but with determination I kept trying till I got the answer. How would I rate this activity? I would give it 10/10 as it was very enjoyable and I learned a lot of new things.  By:- Ashni Student of Grade 5B1

💖👩💖 Acrostic Poems on Mother💖👩💖

 Many hugs

Only love, never anger

Teaching me always

Helping me with everything

Every smile when I was sad

Raising me to be strong

It spells Mother, 

Thanks for being you.

📙📘📗 My Exam Phobic Mind📗📘📙

 So many exams, such less time…

How do I calibrate my anxious mind?

I am looking for intervention divine,

To take me across this sea of mines.

I search in libraries… 

I searched online…

For ways to stretch out my time,

Solutions I am yet to find.

Management is the key some say,

Yet my scared little mind says nay.

Tired at the end of day… 

“Why is my mind in disarray?”

“Is there any other way?”

Let me lie down on some hay, 

And put some rest to all this sway.

For tomorrow will be a perceptive new day.

Sun shines bright again as May,

Ideas flow into my mind and stay.

Plans I chalk out in such way,

Phobias will be conquered today!!

🤯🤯🤯 Scammed!🤯🤯🤯

Have you ever been scammed? Well I have! I clearly remember last summer when I was bored and I had nothing interesting to do. I was invited by my brother to play Roblox. My brother and I were busy enjoying our creations when all of a sudden a strange player named ‘Goodfriend027’ asked me for my epic hat that I got for 500 robux. I was astonished because I did not know him. At first I refused yet he continued to converse with me and convinced me that we could be friends. I was not sure of that but I still agreed. He said good friends share passwords and phone numbers, so we exchanged ours in a jiffy. I was mesmerized by his avatar!

After a few days, I went to my friend Mike's house. We began playing Minecraft, when Mike abruptly asked me, "How many markers have you collected in Roblox Rida?” “I’ve collected fifty so far,” I replied. As we were chatting, I thought of telling him about Goodfriend027. It felt strange to talk about this new friend. I thought to myself that if I told him that, he would think I am not smart and he might laugh at me. But soon I blurted out telling him all about my new friend online and how he asked me for a hat.

 I told Mike that we shared passwords with each other. Mike made a grim face and said “Rida, did you have to do that!?” I quickly replied in amazement  “Why, we are good friends!” Mike then replied “It takes a long time to become good and true friends. Good friends respect your privacy and never ask for passwords. What else did you share with him?” He also added that he could sign in to my account and take my precious hat.  I turned white with fear. I had also shared my mom’s contact number with him. I  ran home like I had seen a ghost! and murmured to myself, “Grrr! That Goodfriend027 better not take my hat!” 

As I reached home, my little brother, Rohan, was playing on my laptop. He looked at me and said,  “hey Rida! I just found out that your hat is gone.” I was dumbstruck! And when I peered into my laptop, I realized that my hat was really gone! Then suddenly, my mom’s phone rang. I rushed towards her saying, “Mom, someone called ‘Good Friend’ is likely calling’. Mom replied “How did an unknown person get my number?” I replied, shaking like a leaf, “I gave your phone number and my roblox password to a player online!” Mom replied “Oh no! Go change your roblox password immediately and I’ll call the Digital station.”

I quickly changed my roblox password and mom got rid of the scammer. After a few weeks, another scammer tried the same strategy with me. Ha! I’m not falling for this scam twice. I immediately shut the game and blocked the site. I breathed a sigh of relief and advised all my friends to be careful and follow strict safety rules being online. We all promised each other to be responsible digital citizens henceforth.

🏏🏏🏏 The Golden Heart of a Cricket Bat 🏏🏏🏏

 I am the soul of a batsman,
The hero of the cricket ground,
My arms get held tight,
As my heart pounds ball by ball,
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the ball goes for a ride all around the ground,
My face starts shining,
As the crowd starts to applaud,
With patience and grit,
I keep scoring more,
All I can expect,
Is a century or more!

🦁🦁🦁An Anthology of poems by Grade 3 students🦁🦁🦁

Poetry is a form of literary expression that evokes emotions and ideas. The students of Grade 3 lyrically arranged words and set tunes to their imagination through these beautiful poems.

🦁🦁🦁 My Favourite Animal 🦁🦁🦁

My favourite animal is yellow and brown,

In the jungle it wears a crown.

It has never seen a door,

It eats animals and leaves their skin on the floor.

He walks bare feet,

And never goes on the street.

The lion I have never seen,

I think it is still mean.

🪐🪐🪐 My Imaginary Planet - Xoletopile 🪐🪐🪐

Sreedevi Deepu of Grade 4F invented an imaginary planet in the milky way galaxy during the innovation week held in school. 

Where is it? 

It is 264 light years from Earth. It is very far and can be seen only with a telescope. 

What’s the size of Xoletopile? 

Xoletopile is very big. Xoletopile is the fourth largest planet in the Milky Way. You can fit 1,456 Earth inside it. 

Fun facts 

Xoletopile is the only planet that has rings in different angles. It also has a purple atmosphere due to purple pigment. 

Is Xoletopile a gas giant or a terrestrial planet? 

It is a terrestrial planet which means it has a solid surface. 

Xoletopile’s satellite 

Xoletopiles has three satellites. The first satellite’s name is Pinkal because it is pink. The next satellite's name is Magantani because it is magenta in colour. The next satellite's name is Egulorer because it is shaped like an egg. 

Which star is Xoletopile’s parent star? 

Xoletopile's parent star is a red dwarf called G4-Xole.

Is it habitable? 

It is not in the habitable zone as it is far from the red dwarf. All the water is frozen in the ground due to its cold core with the temperature of - 265 degree celsius. 

Fun Fact 2 

It has a huge hole which extends to its core.Its so large we could see with our naked eye. 

Color of Xoleletopile 

It is mostly purple due to its purple pigment. It is a mystery as to why it is purple. It also has a pink pigment. No one knows so far as to why such colors are forming on this planet. 

Is there oxygen on this planet so life will form? 

The planet's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen with only 15.23 % of oxygen just like on Earth. There could be some species like Griffendevi which could survive such low temperatures on this planet. 

Can anything survive on this planet? 

Griffendevi could survive on this planet because of its special features. Some other things could also survive on this planet like bacteria. 

More thing you need to know about Xoetopile 

Xoletopile is moving away from its parent star because of constant hits by asteroids and comets.  I hope to take a mission to this planet in the year of 2060 when we get better equipment that would help us travel deeper into the milky way galaxy.
