Both Emirati citizens and the large expatriate community are invited to participate in these tributes. Their courage and sacrifice will inspire future generations and their memory will live forever in the history of the UAE.

Reading Week
There is no friend as loyal as a Book.
Reading and literacy are fundamental skills that lay the foundation for a child’s lifelong learning journey. In recognition of the importance of fostering a love for reading and developing literacy skills at an early age, SKBZAPS Kindergarten organized a vibrant and engaging Reading and Literacy Week. This week-long event aimed to ignite a passion for reading, enhance language skills and create a fun learning environment for our young learners.
Arabic Week
Arabic Week at SKBZAPS is always an exciting time for our students. It is a time to celebrate the Arabic language and culture. This year, for the week, the Arabic department organized a variety of events and activities focusing on the four main skills needed for language learning: reading, writing, listening and speaking. As engaged learning is an integral part of our curriculum, these skills were then further linked with activities like art, painting, poetry and drama.
Students wrote their own amazing Arabic stories and designed innovative posters for them. All our year groups took part in competitions throughout the week and ended the week by dressing up in Arabic attire! It was a memorable and fun week for our students.
