Literacy Week is nearly here and the Secondary School is abuzz with ideas! This year for Literacy Week, the Secondary School will be focusing on strengthening a community approach to literacy, encouraging students to interact across Key Stages and involving families and staff in some way.
Year 7 shall be completing a variety of activities and competitions, including guessing which story character a selection of teachers will be dressed as on the Thursday! Their teachers are busy organising their costumes as we speak and are very much looking forward to the fun. Year 8 will be collecting a favourite family recipe from their parents in order to collate an online TEA recipe book. They will also visit with the Year 5 students and help them create a recipe for the perfect book! Year 9 shall be designing their own books for Key Stage 2 readers, which will be put to the ultimate test – they will sit and share their books with Years 3 and 4! Year 10 will create a Digital Story with PowerPoint, making a montage of images that help tell their story. Students will be given an option to add music and animation to make their Digital Story really stand out! These will be presented in class.
Literacy Week is a time for staff and students alike to reflect on how literacy impacts our lives and to discuss and share our love of writing and stories. We look forward to sharing this together.

This year once again many of our pupils entered the Kuwait Science Fair. After the success of the first prize winner Amneh Tarkhan, pupils were inspired and even more motivated to enter. 5 projects were chosen from our school, as part of ‘The Best 100’ entries. These pupils are now working on their experiments and inventions with the aim to succeed! Well done to those young scientists; we wish them well on their journey of discovery.
For the first time, The English Academy is launching its own Science Fair. Pupils are encouraged to investigate an area of science and carry out an experiment or come up with an invention. This is an exciting opportunity for our eager pupils who enjoy research, experiments and Science. Pupils will enter a world of discovery, learning new things and investigating their own ideas.
Do you think you have what it takes to take on the challenge and be a winner? If your answer is YES, the TEA Science Fair is ready for you, are YOU ready? …think Science, think Future! For more information speak to the Science Department.

Pupils at TEA worked to design and create the strongest possible entries to compete for the first prize of an ‘all expenses paid’ trip to the UK. TEA’s strongest video presentation was from a team in year 9 (Dalal Al Ghanem, Sana Khandakji, Fatma Bin Eidan, Nezar Kabara and Boris Mihailovic).
Abdullah Khader and Fai Aman (Year 8 ) produced two excellent posters that depicted the importance of global citizenship.
The final entry from TEA pupils was a song about world peace, which was written and performed by Nicole Al Sayegh, Hana Faez, Fatima Dashti, Islam Salah Eldin and Mahmoud Selim (Year 8). This song went on to win the runner-up place in the Kuwait region, and each will receive a mini MP3 player, courtesy of the British Council.
