Expressive Arts and Design

This week the children explored painting directly onto black and white photographs of themselves using watercolours. They looked carefully at their features and made thoughtful choices about the colours they wanted to use. This activity offered many opportunities to talk about facial features, colours, and shapes, and to develop fine motor control through careful brushwork. The children were encouraged to notice details, make comparisons with their friends, and express themselves creatively through colour and design.

Maths

This week in our maths provision, the FS1 learners have been exploring the concept of comparing. They have enjoyed investigating and talking about differences in size, using language such as big and small. We’ve also been comparing quantities, using words like more, less, few, and many. By emphasising this mathematical language, the learners are encouraged to use it naturally in their play and everyday conversations.

Literacy

We have been exploring a new phoneme this week - /a/. By incorporating activities with the /a/ sound, the children hear and use it in context. For example, saying words like apple and astronaut helps them make connections between spoken sounds and their written representations.

Fine Motor Skills

Linking to our new phoneme /a/ we have been exploring apples alongside the oats in the sensory tray. By combining phonics with sensory exploration, the children are learning through play, developing their communication skills, and building a deeper understanding of how sounds link to words in the world around them.

PE in FS1

We are excited to have FS1 start their PE sessions, next week. This week, the PE teachers have come down to introduce themselves to the children. Please ensure your child is wearing their PE uniform and appropriate footwear on the allocated day below.

Nadeen School Annual Festive Fair

We are delighted to let you know that we are hosting this event again on Friday November 28th from 11am-4pm at Dilmunia, the home of our brand new, state-of-the-art campus.

On this day children, parents, staff and friends will come to our fair for a fun family day. We have games and prizes for the children, independent vendors offering various products for sale, food stalls, and a raffle. Last year we had over 2000 visitors to our Fair and it was an incredibly well-attended, well-enjoyed event; we are expecting even more visitors this year!

One of our largest fundraisers during the year is our Festive Fair Raffle. If you or your company could donate a raffle prize, such as a voucher, gift, gift certificate or hamper, it would be greatly appreciated by Nadeen School children, parents and staff. Should you be interested in sponsoring our event, please let us know by emailing v.trindade@nadeenschool.com and ks1-parentboard@nadeenschool.com

Canteen Acess for Primary Learners

We will begin phasing the purchasing of food from the canteen into Primary from Wednesday, 14th October, starting with Year 6 learners. To support the smooth operation of this process, learner cards will be kept in school and given to students at lunchtime to make purchases.

Please note: learners can only purchase food if they have a card.

If you would like your child to buy lunch from the canteen, you will need to purchase a learner card. Instructions for how to purchase the card can be found spare APP.

Please ensure there is sufficient money loaded onto the card to allow your child to buy food. You can use the SPARE app to top up the card, view what your child has eaten, and purchase meals in advance.

We are aiming to introduce this system to Year 4 and Year 5 learners after the half-term break. We need this time to carefully organise the process so that we can maximise efficiency and ensure a smooth experience for all learners.

We thank you for your patience and understanding during this introductory phase.

In case of any questions, please contact directly support@paywithspare.com
