Learning Through Play: Letters Come to Life in Kindergarten!
In the MS class, students learned the Arabic alphabet in a fun and interactive way using building blocks. The children recreated the letter “ذ”, an activity that helps visualize letters in 3D, develops fine motor skills, and makes learning both active and joyful!
A playful way to combine fun and learning!
Exchange with canadian Author Hélène DORION
Following last year’s visit from writer Patrick Deville, the high school students at LFIA met on March 27 with Canadian author Hélène DORION—the first living Francophone author to be included in the French Baccalaureate curriculum.
During this enriching two-hour exchange, students—especially those in the Terminale HLP class—presented their personal works inspired by her poetry collection Mes forêts, which is part of the curriculum, and asked her numerous questions.
A memorable literary encounter that will stay with our high school students!
CM1 Field Trip to Al-Hijaz Railway Station
As part of the EMILE English program, the CM1 students traveled back in time to discover one of Amman’s treasures: the Al-Hijaz Railway Station, dating back to the Ottoman Empire.
They explored steam trains and admired the beauty of the station, built in 1904. They also had the privilege of boarding one of the trains while enjoying views of old Amman.
It was a memorable field trip—both educational and fun. A big thank you to the staff at Al-Hijaz station for their collaboration and warm welcome.
Musical Performance
On the occasion of Francophonie Day in the secondary school, our students showcased their talent by playing various instruments in a warm and creative atmosphere.
Bravo to them for sharing such great musical energy!
