The boys attended on 30th September and the girls on 2nd October. The exhibition allowed students to retrace the legendary explorer’s footsteps across continents\, discovering how his journeys connected cultures and enriched knowledge. \nThey took part in engaging activities that encouraged them to reflect on the values of curiosity\, resilience\, and exploration\, while also gaining a deeper appreciation of history and culture. The visit tied beautifully with Qatar’s vision of preserving heritage and inspiring young people to learn from the past. Students returned not only with knowledge but also with enthusiasm\, eager to share their experiences and continue their own journeys of discovery.

Our KS3 students took on the heavy lifting — replenishing soil and pots — while KS1 helped mix the new and old soil\, ensuring it was rich and ready for growth. Years 3 and 4 made sure everything was well watered and full of moisture to prepare for planting\, and Years 5 and 6 assessed the plants still thriving from last year before preparing new pots for the next round of seedlings. \nOur garden is truly a place of collaboration and care\, and it’s wonderful to see how busy and full of enthusiasm our students are during break times\, each year eager to get their hands dirty and watch their efforts grow.

The visit gave students a fascinating insight into Qatar’s rich heritage\, culture\, and traditions through one of the largest private collections in the world. \nStudents explored a wide range of exhibits\, from ancient Islamic art and traditional Qatari artefacts to vintage cars\, coins\, and textiles. The tour helped them make real-life connections. \nThroughout the visit\, students were encouraged to ask questions\, make observations\, and reflect on how Qatar has evolved from its early Bedouin roots to the modern nation it is today. Many were amazed by how Sheikh Faisal personally collected items from over 50 countries\, highlighting the global connections between cultures and time periods. \nThe day ended with a group reflection\, where students shared their favourite exhibits from the vintage car gallery to the traditional majlis and pearl diving displays. The museum staff praised our Year 7 students for their curiosity\, respectful behaviour\, and enthusiasm throughout the visit.
