Phonics
Phonics
Our FS1 children explored this week's phonics focus /n/ through an engaging investigation of nests and their textures. The learners examined different materials such as twigs, sticks, and soft lining, noticing how each contributes to building a strong nest. They also attempted to create their own nests, using words like nest, nature, nestling, night - all of which emphasise the initial phoneme /n/ to support their phonics learning. This helped them make a meaningful link between the phonics and hands-on exploration.
Understanding the world
Understanding the world
This week our FS1 children learned about kindness, community and the importance of helping others. Using our festive Donation Tree we discussed how we can support our local animal shelter. This was a wonderful opportunity to encourage the children to think about the needs of others, make connections with their wider community, and understand how small acts of generosity can make a big difference.
Literacy
Literacy
Our story focus this week has been the story of Stickman. We have been exploring the story through storytelling and repeated refrains. The learners have enjoyed joining in with the familiar phrases and using stick props to bring the story to life. Through these activities they have been building their language skills, imagination and understanding of the story.
Communication and Language
Communication and Language
All of the Early Years have been busy practising and rehearsing their festive songs in preparation for the Festive Show. Through learning the lyrics and repeating familiar ones, the learners are developing their vocabulary, strengthening their listening and attention skills, and building confidence in speaking and singing as a group. It has been wonderful to see their enthusiasm and growing communication skills shine.

In the spirit of Nadeen’s core values of love, care, and community, we are excited to introduce “Christmas with a Pawfect Purpose.” This special initiative gives our community an opportunity to spread kindness during the festive season by supporting our animal friends in need.

Our Wishlist (all items valued at 5 BD or less):
A bag of cat litter
A bag of cat or dog food
A cosy winter blanket for the dogs
Cleaning supplies
Apples or carrots for Bahrain Rescues’ resident donkey, Dolly

Winter Shoebox Appeal
Nadeen School is once again supporting the Migrant Workers Protection Society (MWPS) Winter Shoebox Appeal. This annual initiative takes place in November, as we approach the winter season, and aims to collect essential items for vulnerable members of our community.
We invite your child to participate by helping to pack a decorated shoebox or backpack with much-needed items. The children will box these up at home and bring them into school.
Please see the attached flyer for general information. We are asking for donations of toiletries (such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and shampoo) and dry foods, including lentils, rice, dried milk powder, and spices.
We will be collecting donations from next week in the Learner entrance and our contributions will be handed over to the MWPS later on.
Every donation makes a difference, and your support for this important cause is deeply appreciated.

Canteen Acess for Primary Learners
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
