Middle School Arabic

Assalaamu Alaikum Dear Parents / Caregivers

Ramadan Mubarak

The Arabic language classroom in the Middle School has been bustling with new learning since the start of this academic year.

The Year 7 students explored the ‘On the Beach’ unit and learned relevant expressions and vocabulary. They also completed activities to strengthen reading comprehension, spelling, sentence construction, grammar and handwriting. The students examined various styles of creative writing in order to write their own composition about their experiences and activities on the beach with families and friends.

The Year 8 students enjoyed the ‘Rabbit and the Hare’ story.  In addition to reading comprehension and sentence construction activities, students examined the singular, dual, plural nouns in Arabic and compared them to their counterparts in English.  They conjugated the present tense verb with the third person pronouns and the past tense verb with all pronoun groups.  The students experimented with writing their own narratives. The stories written were creative and original.

The Year 9 students studied various units of work on Time, Nature, The Winter Season and Hobbies.  They familiarised themselves with the necessary terms and vocabularies to express meaning.  They conjugated the present tense verb with the second and third person pronoun groups and learnt parts of speech; verbs, subjects, objects, prepositions and adverbs. Students could choose either to write a text or to develop a dialogue to be orally presented on any of the topics covered in order to reflect on their learning.

I wish all the students in the Middle School a successful Arabic learning year.
