Dear families,

Celebrating UAE culture and heritage week

We have been carrying out many activities learning about the culture and heritage of the

UAE this week, culminating in our first ever Aspen Heights National Day assembly. The

children were amazing- colourful, proud and collaborative. Special thanks goes to our

amazing Arabic team- in particular Mrs Basma. The Aspen ‘heritage village’ was fun and

informative; thank you to our wonderful Aspen mothers: Haneen Tamimi, Fatima Al Ketbi,

Mariam Al Humairi, Yana Zibolenova, Samira Al Qattami , Donne Nyman , Fatima Al

Zarooni, Fatime Maani and Layla Al Hammadi who all contributed to making the day so

special. Martyrs day

As we will not be at school tomorrow for the martyrs day minute of silent prayer at 11.30,

children and staff at Aspen Heights noted this minute of respect in front of the flag on

Tuesday 28th November.

Staff well-being week

Our hardworking staff took part in a variety of well-being activities before and after school!

The superfood workshop was inspiring, and we all enjoyed a Zumba class led by Ms.

Ranny! We would not have achieved so much in such a short time without the hard work

and dedication of our staff- please show your appreciation by writing a note to a member of

our staff on this staff wellbeing padlet- a few words of appreciation go a long way! Thank

you.

Active week

Next week is an ‘active week’ at Aspen with a variety of sporting and active events planned

across the week. Please support by encouraging your child to complete their active

homework- carrying out some physical activity after school and recording in the grid in their

homework books. We will be starting every morning with a ‘wake and shake’ in the

playground- feel free to join in!

The World Health Organisation states that every child needs 60 minutes of exercise every

day to be healthy. We are will be running activities throughout the week to encourage the

students to be active. Here is an overview of some of the activities planned.
