Celebrating Arabic Week

Last week, our school came alive with the rich traditions and heritage of the Arab world as we celebrated Arabic Week.

The event was a fantastic opportunity for students to immerse themselves in Arabic culture through music, art, food, and history. We were transformed into a cultural hub, with stalls displaying traditional Arabic instruments and fascinating artefacts, and they took part in a quiz about Egyptian gods, testing their knowledge of ancient mythology.

Lunchtime had the delicious aromas of Arabic cuisine filling the air. One of the highlights of the week was a mesmerising performance on the oud, a traditional Arabic string instrument. Adding to the artistic experience, renowned Lebanese artist Hassan Ismael visited the school to present his stunning paintings. His talk about his inspirations and techniques gave students a deeper appreciation for Arabic art. Arabic Week was a huge success, bringing students together to celebrate a rich and diverse culture. We can’t wait to do it all again next year!

Arabic Week Year 10 English - In celebration of Arabic Week, Year 10 students were introduced to the Arabic poetry form of ghazals. They explored ideas of romantic love, loss, and unrequited love through an examination of the poem ‘Ghazal’ by Mimi Khalvati. Through discussion and detailed annotations, students were able to develop their analytical skills for poetry as well as establish thematic connections between this poem’s content and how Romeo is presented in Act 1, Scene 1 of ‘Romeo and Juliet’.
