Welcome back to another week, we hope you had a great weekend. We have PMs starting or continuing this week. Please reach out if you need support with these. Reminder, ASAs continue. If you are absent please make the covering teacher aware as they will take the ASA. 


  • One section only per day - results in the past support this decision to allow students to perform better 

  • Be active - give your students support and encouragement

  • Sections are - reading, spelling, general math, mental arithmetic, attitudes. 

  • We implemented reading folders last year and this year based on the reading scores from previous years.

  • HOS and SLT use these results from your classes.


Message from Rami 

The English Modern School is part of an organization called QPPSSA (Qatar Private Primary School Sports Association). QPPSSA is dedicated to designing, implementing and promoting quality sports events and activities through a primary inter-school program to its member schools and student participants.


Our school has been hosting the Indoor Athletics since 2010 and it happened to be the first primary tournament for the year. Below are the tournament days:

  • Year 6 on Sunday 28th of September,2025 - Main Gym
  • Year 5 on Monday 29th of September,2025 - Main Gym
  • Year 4 on Tuesday 30th of September,2025 - Main Gym
  • Year 3 on Wednesday 1st of October, 2025 - Main Gym
11 schools will be participating in the above events, EMS Doha, International School of London, American School of Doha, Compass Al Gharrafa, Doha College, Pearling Season International School, Swiss International School, Qatar Academy Doha, Doha British School, Swiss International School, Qatar Finland International School and SEK International School.

If anyone is willing to help out (primary or secondary staff) with the running of the event (which is mainly scoring, very simple and easy) and enjoy watching some really good athletes perform, start time is 2:30 pm and finish time at 5:00 pm, please reply to my email by choosing which day/s you will be able to help and you will be briefed later on.
 
Indoor Athletics consists of 10 stations, on which each school team will do as many repetitions as they can in 10 minutes. For more information about the Indoor Athletics you can find on the following link .

Fire drill procedure

Please make sure you are aware of the fire drill procedure. Where you need to go, what you need to take and who to ask if you need help. New year often means we will have a practice. Please see the Fire Drill procedure document.


Checking resources


Please make sure you are following the Ministry guidelines when sending or positing resources home. If you are unsure about anything please ask Ms Rola who will be able to guide you. Check books for content

The linked doc is not finite, it contains some of the most common things we need to avoid when sharing reading books or text generally.
