On Wednesday, March 1, all of Elementary will be holding their yearly Student-Led Conferences. This is your child’s opportunity to lead you through their learning journey up until now. The students will be going through their learning experiences with you to model, explain, and share what they have been learning and exploring throughout this year. This experience is your child’s day and it is not meant for parent-teacher interviews or conferences.
Showing their learning journey can be done in their home language and gives students opportunities show their evidence of learning through many different ways. It also involves your child bringing you to their different learning spaces around the school, like the gym, music rooms, EAL class, Arabic class, etc. More information will be sent out February 21 and on 23 in the Thursday Newsletter, including how and when to sign up (which will be open on Tuesday, February 21, from https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/GEMS_World_Academy_Dubai_Elementary). Finally, it’s important to note, that during this day, students will only be at school for their conference and learning tour, after which they will return back home. Students are also expected to wear their school uniform and any or all family members are invited to share in their conference. There will be no bus service for Elementary students on that day. Starting on Sunday 26th February, all students are required to bring an extra t-shirt, shorts and running trainers to their next swimming lesson in order to participate in the House Aquathlon competition.
