ARABIC
We follow the curriculum of the UAE Ministry of Education in Islamic Education and Arabic for Arabic and non-Arabic speakers. This academic year has been a year full of work and challenge for the Arabic and Islamic department. All students showed remarkable progress in the subjects of Arabic language and Islamic education. All students were able to develop their skills. Lessons have involved a variety of resources and activities that used technology a great deal to help keep all students in their learning of the language. In all years, the use of poetry and storytelling has been used to bring the language alive for the children. One of the highlights was when Six students from Hartland participated in The Emirates Literature Festival Arabic Reader’s Cup at Amity University. They represented our school with great distinction and demonstrated the Hartland Attributes of collaboration and resilience. They displayed excellent knowledge of their books and conducted themselves brilliantly throughout. Distance learning was a big challenge for teachers, parents and students specially in the Arabic subject, but we all together achieved a big success and enjoyed our learning journey, using technology such as Flipgrid to demonstrate performing and speaking in Arabic. It has been an enjoyable year both in the classroom and through distance learning. I appreciate all the efforts made by students and parents.
