New Campaign Alert!

Dear Parents,

We are thrilled to announce that our Victory Heights Primary School students will take the lead in our Moral, Social, and Cultural (MSC) lessons next academic year. We are launching an exciting new social media campaign called “Capture Culture” to kickstart this initiative. This campaign encourages you to teach us about your home country and compare it to the United Arab Emirates, the country we proudly call home. We need your help! Students and Parents, we invite you to be the stars of our ‘Capture Culture’ campaign. We want to hear your stories, see your traditions, and learn from your experiences.

Create a short video (between 1-5 minutes long) explaining life in your home country, covering aspects such as:
– National food
– Music
– Animals
– Dance
– Celebrations
– Traditional dress
– Language – We would love to hear you speak in your native language and then translate it into English for us.

Martim in Year 3 Yellow has produced an incredible example video to inspire you. These cultural campaign videos will be used in our MSC learning, and one will be featured on our social media each week. Whether you’re in FS1 or Year 6, you have a part to play. Get creative and think outside the box! If you’re travelling to your home country during the summer, show us some famous landmarks or your favourite areas.

We are excited to see your creativity and learn from your experiences. Please send your video entries anytime during the summer break to Ms. Nóra at [ndoherty@vhprimary.com]We can’t wait to see what you come up with!

Regards,

VHPS Team
