by Zuha S.

You will never believe this!

There is an engineering contest from OttawaU and only sixty students can participate. In grade 6 there are 25 students. On March 6 2013 we got admitted into the contest. After the March break, grade 6 is going  to go to OttawaU and we will learn a lot about engineering. There will also be many activities we can do. We are very excited.

Abraar's scientists shine!

This year, the science fair was a total success! Everyone’s experiments were magnificent, Mashaallah!

There were many good ideas and great presentations! The grades that were aloud in the science fair are grade 4-8. There were two rounds for the science fair.

The first round, your science teacher and Tr. Amina are assessing 

your project. If you get a really good mark, you get to go to the Gym and presented to the judges. There were almost forty people in the Gym!

This time, in the Gym, you get to have some prizes if you are chosen. The grades were divided into two. Grade 4-6 are in the juniors and grade 7-8 are in the seniors. There is 3^rd place, 2^nd place, 1^st place, and the “Outstanding” cup. But the top prize is the… ABRAAR SCHOOL CUP!!!

Story coming soon!!

How I got on the school web site!

My name is Mariam Abdala and I’m going to talk to you about how I appeared in the school web site.

I first started school in s.k. Then I believe someone took a picture of me without me knowing but I don’t mind.

When I grew and I was in grade 1, principal Moussa, my favourite principal asked me ‘Do you want to be on the school web site?’ and I said ‘yes!’. 

On a sunny Wednesday, the principal told me when I go home to look at the Abraar school web site.

 When I did I saw my picture there and it has remained there until now!

What do Abraar School Students Do During Indoor Recesses??

Written by Ayesha S. 

Students play board games that are so much fun while others are a bit more actve and play tag!

photo by Fatima (Gr. 5)

They keep themselves busy during the receses and passed the time quickly! They gather with there friends and talk 'till it's time to leave! When the grade 1-4 students play the older grades eat so it is divided equally for the time they play. Some students read will other students run around. 

There are also clubs, including Math Club, Media club (of course!) and sign language club and much more!!

Film Review

by Doha H.

"Red Dawn"

This movie is the best movie I have ever seen in my whole entire life! 

It's basically about a state of America getting overpowered by people from a different country. 

This movie is also about standing up for what is rightfully yours. Its about emotion.

I almost felt like I was living in the state that they where in. There was this really sad scene where one of the characters says: “To them, this might be just some place, but to us, this is our home! It is different when your fighting in your own backyard, but its like your fighting for your family.” 

The characters were just PERFECT for this movie! The characters are Chris Hemsworth, Josh Peck, Josh Hutcherson, Adrianne Palicki, Isabel Lucas, Connor Cruise, and Jeffery Dean Morgan. 

I hope you guys enjoyed my review of the movie red dawn!

The NHL Comes Back
written by Zackarya H.

After that long period of not playing because of the lockout, the NHL finally comes back! Some people say that they felt enraged about the players because the players wanted more money from their coaches. 

The NHL players wanted $60 million dollars but the coaches refused. Do the players only want money? Don’t they want to have a little fun in their games? Do they even care about their fans after all they have done to them? Those are questions that everyone is asking around the globe.
