EIS-JumeirahPrimarySchool celebrated
World Book Day on March 5, 2015. The
dedicated reading week, included book
sales as well as a costume parade.
Teachers and students dressed up as
their favorite book character and those
with the most creative costumes won
prizes. Barbara Exley, Head of Primary
said, “During the day we had so-called
‘DEAR’ moments. This meant teachers
and students had to ‘Drop Everything
And Read’ at the sound of the bell.
Other activities were planned during
the day, for example musical chairs with
an Early Years class. When the music
stopped the students had to sit on a
chair and read. The atmosphere at the
school is always exciting and filled with
a buzz, but on this particular day it was
electric and everyone’s face was lit-up
with excitement.”
