Mountains, deserts and the sea

Students painted the landscapes of the UAE, made masks of the animals that live there and performed in front of their own backdrops, many of them in traditional dress.

Displays around the room looked back to 1971 and the founding of the nation, and to the traditional games children in the Emirates have played for generations.
