Salama! Do you know where my mommy put the new

video game?

I don’t know.. When will you start

doing your homework? I’ve finished mine & I’m

ready to help you as mom asked.

Here you are Salama! My English homework, the teacher wants us to write a paragraph about

the importance of reading.

Nice.. now tell me different words related to

reading.

Okay. I’ll bring my bag.

What? I suppose you’ll

help me.

I’m Salama

Before mentioning the words, can I

mention my favorite book?

Now you start doing your homework..

of course you can, it’s your paragraph, your ideas and

expressions. I know you are distinctive.

But Mom is visiting our aunt & I

want to play with the new game. My homework is

so easy for you.

But you are asking me to think

about words & you’re supposed to do so.

That’s what I’m doing, helping

you in what you don’t know.

Ah! I got what you mean. It’s not right plus I’m

writing my homework myself and you have to do the same. I’ll

help you to do so, just as we do when mom is here.

No darling, I’ll not cheat our mom and I’ll

not help you to be dependent specially you are an intelligent and

distinctive kid. You can do your homework by yourself. Now

mention some words.

Engineer Salem

Hurry up Ahmed.. why so late, you know you’ll have

a test in the first session?!

The test took place during the first

session, the bus arrived after half an hour late from the

start of the session.

Kindly, everybody have to respect the bus

schedule. Our kids are late to their sessions every day.

Why do you get low scores

son?

waiting for Nasser.. it is repeated every

day mom.

Sorry dad, I didn’t have enough

time.

Why the bus was late?

How come ?!

Sorry.

Respecting bus schedule 

Every day the bus waits for Nasser.

8 - 9

Engineer SalemHow can we be

on time? .. You know kids, they hardly wake up in the

morning.

Actually, there is a new rule in the school. The

bus will only wait for 1 minute, if the student doesn’t show on time, the bus will leave

without him.

Totally wrong, he should sleep early to get

up active. It is not good for his health and lessons.

Everybody is doing the same. Not only

my son who take the blame for the bus delay.

Can I ask you something, please? At

what time Nasser goes to bed?

Goodnight dear, this is better for you &

your health.

Unfortunately, he is the only

reason.

I hope I won’t be late as

usual.

After 9:30 pm.

Super Nader

Lala,la,lala,la

Slow down Salem.

Salem, Watch

out!

Somebody help me.

Someone needs my

help.. On my way.

10 - 11

Are you okay dear?.. I was terrified.. Never ever cross the street

again without me.

Thankfully, the car almost hit

me but for Super Nader who came

at the right time & saved me.

It’s Okay dear, don’t be frightened and Thank God for your safety. You were

possibly exposed to a

serious accident. Next time you

have to be more careful and adhere

to traffic rules. You must look both ways right & left

to make sure the road is empty.

I already did that.

Not only that, you must also listen carefully to the voices of the cars

around. Do not put these headphones on your ears while you walking. Cross

the road in a straight line, and moderate speed, to

cross safely.

Thanks to God. Thanks Nader, I’ll be more cautious next time.

How come you bring a mobile phone to school

Dabdouba?

Don’t you remember days ago when the headmistress warned

us about that?

Girls, watch this video on YouTube.. Very

entertaining.

If Dabdouba succeeded to bring her

phone & hide it, we can do the same. I’ll bring mine

tomorrow.

What is it about? Let us see.

Hurry up girls.. The teacher is

coming.

Why only Dabdouba can

enjoy her phone & we cannot?

let’s report her to the management. I

don’t like her. No, we should

do what is better for us.

What do you mean?

I know that school regulations are not allowing that, but don’t worry no one

will see it.

Using Mobile phones in school

Dabdouba quickly hides the phone inside her bag.

Traffic Jungle

Not only me. Dabdouba has a mobile

& other girls too.

A mobile!.. you know it is not allowed in

the school.

The main reason is for your own benefit. To keep

any distractions away and to achieve success & excellence. This is why I must get a promise from you it will

not be repeated.

OMG! .. what happened?

Next Day, during P.E session, all other animals were busy playing, and the Cow was having her

mobile in her pocket.

After the headmistress knew about it, she called the girls in her office and tell them why mobile phones

are prohibited in the school.

The headmistress forgives the students, her words had a positive impact on the girls. All the student followed the regulations and no one brought her mobile again.

Oh Alia do you know how much I

love Space!

Yes dear, that’s why I decided to talk with you about space and I

put this poster to make you happy.

I love you so much.

How many planets in the solar system?

8 planets. 4 outer planets and 4 inner planets

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are made mostly of rock and metal

so they are also known as

terrestrial planets.

First we’ll start to know the solar system, which

is so named because it includes the sun and

all the objects that orbit around it due to its gravity.

This includes things such as planets, comets,

asteroids, meteoroids and moons.

14 - 15

The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

They are made mostly of hydrogen, helium and other

gases so they are also known as gas giants.

As of 2008, there are also five dwarf planets: Pluto, Ceres, Eris,

Makemake & Haumea.

What about the sun? Isn’t it a

planet as well? No, the Sun is a star found at the center of

the Solar System.

Amazing!

The Sun contains 99.86 percent of the Solar System’s known mass,

with Jupiter and Saturn making up making up most of the rest.

What about the rest of planets?

The small inner planets which include Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars make up a very small

percentage of the Solar System’s mass.

Girls, lunch is served.

Let’s go and we will resume

later.

Sahih, the Roads Friend

When parking, you should pay attention

to the appearance of the white line clearly, to make the other

cars park easily, and not to hinder them.

You must not leave the car a prominent or taking

forward a greater distance, because it is difficult for others

to enter the parking lot. Parking

in corners is very dangerous and not

correct.

Another error is parking in front of other cars, even if for a little

period of time.

Parking Corners, especially private ones, are

not designed for parking. It will hinder other cars from both sides

& no car could get out easily.

Hello dear friends.. today I’ll tell

you about a common error always repeated in

parking lots.

Inspector HamadVehicle Breaking down on the Tram’s Path Scenario: Loulwa Thani

While driving, we might get into unfortunate situations, like having vehicle broken

down near Dubai Tram tracks

you should not panic, in order to act rationally and

save yourself and other road users additional

trouble or harm

There are 4 steps you need to follow; first, let

everyone around you know that your vehicle is broken

down by turning on the red flashlights

Then, empty the vehicle from all passengers to

keep them safe

You should try to move your vehicle away from the path, and leave the

headlights on if it’s in the evening

Finally, you should dial 999 or call the police for help … Stay safe!
