In Phonics this week, the children have been learning to read and spell words ending in -s and -es, exploring how these endings can make different sounds, such as /s/ and /z/. They practised reading longer words including sports, paints, storms, dresses and splashes, building their confidence in segmenting and blending. We also reviewed all Phase 3 graphemes and revisited any Phase 2 digraphs that needed further practice. The children consolidated their knowledge of 'igh' and 'ear' words and worked on reading and spelling tricky words including put, pull, full, push, my, by, like, some, come, love and do. We explored these sounds and words through a variety of engaging activities, including using magic pens, tracing letters and words in sand, and practising on whiteboards.
Super work FS2!
This week, the learners have been exploring some ocean-themed learning, the children created their own coral reefs using playdough, pasta, and their chosen sea animals.
Throughout the activity, they applied a range of mathematical skills, including counting, comparing quantities, and identifying and discussing different shapes.
The children demonstrated creativity and imagination while developing their fine motor skills through the manipulation of materials.
They also engaged in meaningful discussions about their creations, using mathematical language to explain their ideas and describe the features of their coral reefs.
This hands-on activity provided an excellent opportunity to combine expressive arts and design with early mathematical learning in a purposeful and engaging context.
This week in Drawing Club, our learners explored the story Commotion in the Ocean. Each week they focus on the character, the setting, and responding to an imaginative "I wonder..." question inspired by the story. The children then brought their ideas to life by creating a sentence and a maths code.
As part of our Vocabulary Game, the children were introduced to six exciting new words such as 'sloshing', 'paddling' and 'bobbing' linked to the story and worked together to create actions to help them remember their meanings. This playful approach supported language development while making new vocabulary engaging and memorable!
This week, our learners began preparing their classroom displays in readiness for the start of the 2026 FIFA World Cup next week. Each FS2 class has been assigned a country to explore, providing an exciting opportunity to learn about different cultures from around the world. The children have started discovering their country's flag, traditions, food, artwork, landmarks, and football kit.
Through this project, the learners are developing their understanding of the wider world, celebrating diversity, and embracing new cultures with curiosity, respect, and enthusiasm.
We hope you will enjoy getting involved in building excitement for this special event and sharing in the children's enthusiasm!

We are pleased to share the launch of The Arabic Stories Digital Library, an innovative initiative from our Arabic Department designed to strengthen our culture of reading and academic excellence.
The platform provides a carefully curated collection of Arabic stories tailored to learners’ varying interests and proficiency levels. Learners are encouraged to read at least one story per week and complete a structured reflection task to deepen comprehension, enhance written expression, and develop critical thinking skills.
The library will continue to expand through regular updates, ensuring fresh and engaging content. This initiative supports independent learning, advances language development, and reinforces cultural identity — all aligned with our strategic vision and High Performance Learning framework.
Further details will be shared by Ms. Zenab after the half-term break.
It is time to celebrate our FS2 children as they prepare to take their next exciting step into Primary School.
Join us as we reflect on their Early Years journey and celebrate all they have achieved throughout their time in FS2. The event will include songs, certificates and special farewell moments as we recognise their growth, achievements and memories made along the way.
