Speculation…..

Ramadan is nearly over and I am looking forward to a week off school, partly for Eid, the end of Ramadan celebration, but also for half term. We are not exactly sure which day we will finish mind you. Islamic holidays are only announced on the sighting of the new moon, so we usually know within a few days but we just have to listen to the news and wait patiently for the text message the school sends out to be sure.

This holiday there is extra controversy as last year at this time Sheikh Zayed passed away, and being a great man and much loved by the nationals there is great speculation that there will be an extra days holiday before Eid in memory of him. We have heard of two schools that have announced 2 days holiday this week just to cover themselves I suppose… You all have an idea of what staff rooms are like, you can imagine the debate over who heard what at the moment!

I took some photos on Mike and Sandie’s Camera the other day, so I will post them ASAP. Sandie has set up her own blog so you might want to go have a squiz… She’d love the visitors!
