It’s National Day today – December 2nd – and this year is the 40th anniversary of the country’s formation. 40 years young and yet so surprisingly advanced.

The Emiratis do love their country, I mean who wouldn’t when your leader gives pay raises just for being a national?

Still, there are big plans this weekend for celebrations all over the country in all seven emirates.

I have to say that I’m glad that it will be over as I was getting a little tired of nearly a month of student presentations that centered around the founding father, the national flag, national day celebrations in schools, etc. etc.

Here are some activities my students have done in the past weeks for this day –
