On Friday 13th November 2015 the Student Council went to the Banyan Tree Resort. The Banyan Tree has arranged some times for the Student Council and children from a local orphanage in R.A.K to play and befriend each other. First, we had a Basketball Clinic and received ‘’World Noor Foundation’’ T-shirt and also had a Falcon show. We learned how to hold a bird by gloves and watched a Falcon hunt for its food and fly. We then were welcomed by a couple of artists and we learned how to spray paint on a wall. In about twenty-five minutes, we had created an amazing painting on the wall that read ‘’Unity In Diversity.”After a while, it was time to say goodbye. ;-( The best thing about this trip was making new friends and playing with them. We then went back to school with a warm welcome from our parents. ‘’It has been an honor to be chosen for this opportunity! J’’ -John Williams 5C Last week the Year 5 members of RAK Academy Student Council were lucky to attend a workshop at the Banyan Tree. We arrived and had a tour around. We saw lots of amazing things. There was a microscope and we looked through and saw many different materials. It was really interesting. We met some new friends there and it was wonderful to spend time with them. We had a cookie baking lesson in groups. They made it into a competition and the first group to finish won! While we waited for the cookies to bake, we had some lunch which was delicious. Then a lady brought in a falcon. Some people were scared but almost everyone held it on their arms. After that we ate our cookies and spent time with our friends. We had an amazing time! |
