The first Bake Sale in TCG Jumeira took place on the 10th of December 2009. Thanks to the parent's great support we managed to raise AED360 which will be spent in the school environment for the advantage of everyone. The experience was enjoyed by everyone, learning how to count, how to pay and enjoy a tasty piece of cake!
  
    
  
Miss Nuket, our very own Maths Coordinator, has devised a tailor-made maths curriculum. Bursting with fun and packed with exciting activities and experiences, have a look at the sorts of things the children get up to. And with our famous Maths Octopus helping them learn, no wonder everybody loves maths at TCG!
    
  
Our programme is all about engaging the emotions of each child, because if children can develop an emotional connection with what they are learning or with the person teaching it, this is how they learn best.

And that means packing a lot of fun into daily life! It's just as possible to have fun in the classroom as it it to have fun in our Adventure Garden. Have a look at these pictures to see what we mean!
  
    
  
Together with the TCG Green Community team we all had a very interesting development day. The morning started with a motivating workshop on Communication, Positive Thinking and changes in life. After a group lunch some of us went to Jam Jar for a creative session for many ideas! It was a great team building experience and our creative minds were working hard! Check out the amazing paintings that came out of the day's session.
  
    
  
Our climbing frame, with its battery of different swings, slopes and ropes, is proving itself to be a place where children can both hone their individual climbing skills and play collaboratively with their friends.
