The long winter holiday has officially come to an end as students across the UAE returned to their classrooms this morning. After four weeks away, school hallways were once again filled with the sounds of laughter and excited chatter. Friends who hadn’t seen each other since December spent the morning catching up, sharing stories about their vacations, and showing off new school gear. While waking up early was a bit of a challenge for some, the excitement of reuniting with classmates and teachers quickly brought the energy back to the campus.
Now that everyone is back, schools are shifting their focus to the second half of the academic year. Teachers are helping students settle back into their daily routines and get ready for new lessons and projects. Although the break provided a much-needed rest, there is a clear sense of motivation in the air as students prepare for the months ahead. With the pleasant winter weather still lingering, many schools are also planning outdoor activities and sports to make the transition back to learning as enjoyable as possible.
