Ramadan is a time of reflection, generosity and community. Through the A Box of Goodness initiative, we will be collecting non-perishable food items throughout Ramadan to support families in need. Last year, we donated 70 food boxes, with your support, let’s give even more this year.
Exploring Spanish music means lots of dancing and moving our bodies to different sounds. We explored clapping, tapping and swaying to the music. We copied some simple dance moves but also created our won actions using our arms, legs and whole bodies to express how the music made us feel.
We have been exploring Spanish food and learning about a traditional dish caled Paella. We enjoyed making our own Paella using coloured rice, mixing and stirring ingredients in pots and pans. Through our role play restaurant, we took turns being chefs, waiters and customers. We have really enjoyed learning about all things Spain!
The learners have been enjoying small world play, using miniature furniture and a variety of materials to create their own houses and different rooms. They explored how to arrange bedrooms, kitchens and living areas, thinking carefully about where items belong and how we use spaces in our houses.
We have been developing our fine motor skills by practising how to safely use scissors to cut and create our own creations using leaves and twigs. We love exploring the natural world and having lots of different discussions about what we find in our gardens.
We’re pleased to share that The Factory Run – Family Relay will take place on 14th February 2026 at Exhibition World Bahrain. It promises to be a wonderful celebration of family, teamwork and wellbeing.
If you’re taking part, we look forward to seeing some Nadeen families there and cheering you on!

On Wednesday, Nadeen proudly hosted the 2026 Bahrain Eco-Summit as part of the growing collaboration established by the Bahrain Sustainable Schools Partnership (BSSP).
We were honoured to welcome 14 schools and over 100 learners to our campus, coming together to share ideas, collaborate and explore meaningful approaches to sustainability.
Founded in 2023, the Eco-Summit has quickly become a key event in Bahrain’s school calendar, uniting schools, sustainability partners and local organisations with a shared purpose: strengthening environmental education and empowering young people to lead positive change.
Through learner-led presentations, hands-on workshops and collaborative discussions, the Summit provided a powerful reminder that real progress happens when communities work together.
By hosting this year’s event, Nadeen reaffirms its commitment to nurturing environmentally responsible learners and supporting partnerships that help build a more sustainable future for Bahrain.
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.
On Monday, we were delighted to host TeachMeet 5: The AI Edition, bringing educators together to explore the evolving role of artificial intelligence in education.
Led by AI Transformation Leader Luis I. Cortes, the session considered AI within both a global and regional context, while keeping a clear focus on what matters most, ensuring technology enhances learning without replacing the human relationships, judgement and care that define great education.
The event reflects our ongoing commitment to thoughtful innovation and our High Performance Learning approach, preparing learners to be adaptable, reflective and confident in a rapidly changing world.
